CLAY LITTER PRODUCT FOR AMMONIA CONTROL IN POULTRY PENS

摘要

A sulfuric acid-containing clay-based litter product useful in the control of ammonia generated by decaying excrement in poorly ventilated poultry brooding houses is provided. Raw clay is contacted with sulfuric acid to produce an acidulated clay which is then applied to the poultry brooding house floor in an amount sufficient to provide from about 0.0175 pounds of sulfuric acid to about 0.0875 pounds of sulfuric acid per square foot of poultry brooding house floor.
