Engineers with Perdue Farms are working on new methods of composting chicken waste in Delaware and on Maryland’s Eastern Shore that could also control pollution.

The research facility, called Farm 42, does research on different breeds, nutrition, and feeding programs.

The poultry giant is seeking to recoup attorney fees from the New York-based Waterkeeper Alliance.

A federal judge has ruled that a Maryland farmer who raises chickens for Perdue Farms did not discharge pollution into a nearby river.

Perdue Farms announced that it has entered into an agreement to sell its chicken-processing complex in Dothan, Ala., to Wayne Farms, as part of its ongoing strategy to focus on branded products and strategic customer relationships.

The The Waterkeeper Alliance filed a suit three years ago against farmers Alan Kristin Hudson and Perdue Farms.

A federal judge has refused to dismiss a lawsuit filed by Tecumseh Poultry dba MBA Poultry against Perdue Holdings Inc. and Perdue Farms Inc.

Madeline Perdue, former wife of the late Frank Perdue and mother of Perdue Farms Chairman Jim Perdue, died in her home Wednesday, December 28.

Perdue celebrates the 10th anniversary of the opening of its AgriRecycle facility in conjunction with Earth Day, touting the positive environmental impact the strategy has made for the company.
