We had a swine farmer in Brazil that was slaughtering chickens onsite and mixing the feathers (without our knowledge) with the animal waste (AD influent). We had so many problems with plugged pipes (effluent). We open the anaerobic digester to fix the problem after several unsuccessful attempts to unplug the effluent without opening the AD. After opening AD we realized that chicken feathers were plugging the pipes. As a matter of fact the feathers formed a very hard crust on the top surface of the AD. Your AD set up may be different that our AD system, for this particular farm, so here is some info on our set up: 1. Ambient temperature covered lagoon 2. The feather were not chopped or grinded before entering the AD 3. No mixing 4. Influent feedstock - designed for swine waste I hope this info helps!
