A particulate deodorizing poultry litter is described. The litter is a mixture comprised of from about 80 to about 95 percent by weight ferrous sulfate heptahydrate; from about 0.1 to about 3.5 percent by weight iron oxide and may contain from about 0.2 to about 1.5 percent calcium carbonate. The particles have from about 0.1 to about 0.5 percent by weight free sulfuric acid distributed on their surfaces. The particles range in size from about 0.02 to about 0.2 inches in diameter. The ammonia produced by zymosis of bird drippings is effectively reduced and maintained at levels less than 50 parts per million and usually less than 30 parts per million.
