Fertiliser Patents

Fertiliser Patents

A larger JPEG version of the image ~ 115KB

Fertilizer from dried chicken manure developed by a NSW chicken farmer & used worldwide.

Dynamic Lifter, the brainchild of Norman Jennings, was tested with help from the NSW Department of Agriculture and came on the market in the late 1970s. The product involves a method of making fertiliser from chicken manure using two Australian technologies, a drinking system for the chickens which keeps the manure dry, and a method of compressing the waste into pellets. The initial patent application for the manure (35064/70) lapsed but a later one for a dripless water trough was successful (AU 593391). Another for the sludge handling process lapsed recently. Dynamic Lifter also has trade mark protection for some of their products.

Dynamic Lifter is still run by the Jennings family and is manufactured overseas under licence.
