Two recent university studies evaluated the impact of AFG on enzyme efficacy and nutrient digestibility in broiler chicks.
Hydrated lime has a history of use in calf hutches, free stalls and livestock housing to help manage bedding conditions. However, there’s a fresh and safer way to manage bedding pH.
A feed manufacturing trial was conducted by Dr. Wilmer Pacheco at Auburn University to assess measurements of pellet quality when utilizing AFG® as a sodium source.
On a recent field evaluation, an integrator evaluated the impact of AFG on carcass bacterial counts.
A study was conducted at North Carolina State University to assess the impact of AFG on production parameters and measurements of gut health
Birds fed AFG at 6 lb/ton showed an increase of 0.55% and a 0.67% in total carcass yield and total breast yield.
The return on investment (ROI) of PLT cannot be measured solely in ammonia reduction. It must be evaluated by its impact on bird performance.
Litter windrowing can be a useful litter management technique to reduce pathogenic microorganisms in the litter between flocks. However, it can also cause problems such as higher litter moisture and ammonia if not properly executed and managed
While using PLT for ammonia control is widely understood, the impact of pH on the growth and survivability of many types of microorganisms is often less recognized despite decades of research.
Recent research conducted by RTI Labs reveals an effective, more affordable approach to digital dermatitis management.
A field trial conducted at Casper’s Calf Ranch, LLC, assessed the ability of SurpHace (sodium bisulfate) to control ammonia in calf housing and measured performance parameter differences between calves raised in hutches treated with SurpHace versus untreated hutches.
The main ingredient in SurpHace™ is sodium bisulfate - a dry, granular that boasts unmatched safety for people, animals and the environment.

PLT is normally applied to litter prior to chick placement to control ammonia during brooding when ventilation rates are low. However, mid-flock PLT application has proven to be a beneficial strategy to control ammonia after bird placement while also improving bird health, reducing disease severity and increasing flock productivity.
Gain better control of insect pests and mites in organic production DiaMate® (technical grade sodium bisulfate) is for use in organic poultry production in combination with DIAFIL® 610B, an EPA, FIFRA and OMRI-approved product, as a carrier to aid in mechanical spreading, or sequentially as a deliquescent salt to aid in adherence to target surfaces.
Sodium is an essential dietary mineral that plays a key role in electrolyte balance, and nerve and muscle function.
Mid-flock PLT application has proven to be a beneficial strategy to control ammonia after bird placement while also improving bird health, reducing disease severity and increasing flock productivity.
Georgia poultry grower shares why he's chosen PLT for over 25 years.
For poultry growers struggling with litter management basics or those just looking to see where they can refine their environmental management, this pH Matters episode is a must watch.
Dr. Joey Bray talks about key litter issues and how to troubleshoot them to get the most of your litter for the health and performance of your flock.
