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

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.
Poultry litter management does have its constants, but like many things, there is a seasonality to certain aspects. Here are three ways you should consider shifting gears for the upcoming change of seasons.
Applying PLT lowers litter pH and eliminates ammonia for improved air quality while increasing the nutrient value of litter. But that is just the beginning of the story on sustainability.
Proper pre-heating of the poultry house environment is essential to maximizing flock performance. Pre-heating raises the core temperature of the litter bed, which increases ammonia volatilization and water evaporation.
This study evaluated the environmental impact of PLT - Poultry Litter Treatment from the production through distribution, and compared it to the environmental benefits of product application.
