Solution

Answer: Option A
Solution:
In 5 × 10 × 2.5 ml size deep litter system, 100 - 150 poultry birds can be kept. Deep litter is an animal housing system, based on the repeated spreading of straw or sawdust material in indoor booths.
Deep litter poultry is healthier than poultry raised in the traditional method of housing. "By not removing the waste, good microbes come and make their homes in the litter. These microbes eat and break down the feces and consume unhealthy bacteria, leaving good bacteria behind.
