Relevance. The need for effective utilization of secondary resources of poultry farms, in particular chicken litter, for its ecological neutralization and subsequent use. Aim. To assess the possibility of using potential heat at gaseous products released during chicken litter pyrolytic processing for partial or full coverage of poultry farm energy costs. Methods. Thermal characteristics of the studied raw materials were determined according to certified methods. Differential thermal analysis was carried out on a synchronous thermal analyzer Netzsch STA 449 F5 Jupiter. The material balance of pyrolysis and component composition of gaseous products were determined by physical experiments. Results and conclusions. At pyrolytic processing of native chicken litter, the yield of gaseous products is 21.4%, and their heat content is 1.91 MJ per 1 kg of processed raw material. Creation of compositions (in conditions of preliminary mixing of components and with the use of layer filling) on the basis of chicken manure (80%) and sawdust (20%) leads to a positive synergetic effect – the yield of pyrolysis gas (29.7–31.3%) and its heat content (2.15–2.45 MJ/kg) increase in relation to the processing of native chicken litter. It is established that the annual amount of generated heat from combustion of pyrolytic processing gaseous products, depending on the type of raw materials, will amount to 6.0–10.9 million kWh, which will cover the energy costs of poultry farm by 46–84%.
