THERE'S ONLY ONE PLT®
Other Litter Amendments Can Claim to Be the Same, but Nothing Stacks Up Against the Original
Poultry growers have options when it comes to controlling ammonia, but there are key differences between the most popular products on the market that can affect worker and bird safety, and product efficacy that are important to know. (especially with Poultry Guard)
Other litter amendments try ride our coat tails, simply saying they’re the same. But the fact is, PLT has earned the reputation it has because of its proven efficacy, safety, and dependability.

What Makes PLT Better
Applying PLT at a sufficient rate to control more ammonia based on litter conditions can help
increase your net profit by lowering winter fuel costs. A study completed in both North and South
U.S. climates compared PLT application rates that were either too low or sufficient for litter
conditions and found that higher rates saved growers $600 – $1,200 per flock.
PLT eliminates ammonia and lowers pH better – and for longer – than the competition

Poultry Litter Amendments: The Basics
When we get down to basics on PLT versus Poultry Guard, you’ll notice a few key differences that significantly affect worker and bird safety.
PLT is a formulated product with an EPA Safer Choice designation that is biodegradable, all natural and non-hazardous. Poultry Guard is a bentonite clay coated with free sulfuric acid.
