Since the launch of PLT in 1994, these are the questions that are asked the most.

PLT binds ammonia in a non-reversible process, which means the nitrogen is retained in the litter and actually increases over time, raising its value as a fertilizer.

Higher rates of PLT can save $600-$1,200 a flock on fuel costs.

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.

In this study on the effects of PLT litter amendment on fuel costs and bird performance, the farms that used PLT showed a significant drop in fuel costs due to the elimination of ammonia. Furthermore, bird weights improved generating additional revenue.

A comparison study of three farms showed the wide reaching effects of PLT litter amendment, including how it significantly and consistently lowered ammonia and litter pH for significant fuel savings during summer months.

Based on current inorganic nitrogen costs, broiler litter is currently valued at $105 per ton based on its nitrogen content alone. When its value as a soil amendment with trace minerals and organic matter is considered, the value of poultry litter rises farther above the nitrogen content alone.

Poultry litter is recognized as an excellent source of plant nutrients (nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium) and organic matter. Nitrogen (N) is excreted from birds in the form of uric acid in the manure.

In a study that compared PLT with two other litter amendments, only PLT-treated houses showed significantly less ammonia. Learn more about the performance of PLT as it relates to condemnations, weight and other factors.

Birds that are sufficiently afflicted with ascites do not thrive. However, PLT litter acidifier has a significant effect on ascites.

Researchers at Colorado State University evaluated the affects of ammonia and bronchitis vaccinations on bird performance and quality. One finding was significant increases in condemnations. Learn more about the study now.

Researchers studied the influence of various levels ammonia on bird. Results showed a variety of significant impacts including reductions in respiratory rates, food consumption and growth. Read the full study to learn more.
