They wouldn't be getting any chicken manure...that stays on the pasture...the only manure that would be going in would be from the alpacas who obviously are herbivores and don't eat insects. We'll have see how it goes with the manure. I'd like to put the units on a gravel/sand base to leach all the liquid down, but who knows...have to see how much is produced. The principle use of the BSF would be to consume chicken offal, the manure would just be to feed the BSF between slaughters. Alpaca are very efficient at getting most of the usable proteins from their forage, so I don't know how much is available for the BSF.
