Comparing Litter Amendments: Control Ammonia Any Day, Any Time

PLT Controls Ammonia Whenever You Need It

When do you want to treat litter?

  • Want to apply PLT litter treatment before set up? No problem.
  • Rather wait until the day before chick placement? No problem.
  • How about at day 7 if ammonia spikes; apply PLT then? We have you covered.

PLT CAN BE APPLIED ANY DAY, ANY TIME.

Control Ammonia Longer

PLT controls ammonia and lowers pH better than the competition – and keeps them lower for
longer.

* Ammonia measured using a static flux chamber after 20 minutes Day 0 = chick placement

PLT Lowers Heating Costs

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.

Similar Does Not Mean the Same

Competitive litter amendments claim to offer the same benefits and performance as PLT, but in reality, there are significant differences that could affect bird and worker safety, product efficacy, and environmental considerations. Producers who choose PLT understand the value of safe, consistent, and  environmentally-friendly ammonia control.
