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.
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.
