From application timing to ideal spread pattern, Kirk Owen shares how to get the most from every PLT application for ultimate pH and ammonia control. Watch the video or read the transcript below.

There is no other product on the market even competes with PLT. I mean we can go on top of birds. We have the pH reduction.

It’s well ahead of any litter amendment out there.

Depending on when you’re doing the application, if you’re doing it the the four days early or you’re doing it day of birds. So like day of birds, we just we just have to back a truck down the middle gently depending on the width of the house. Ideally we want to spread an even pattern from wall to wall because we want the pH reduction of the floor.

So that’s very important to maintain a good even spread of the product for bird health.

Most companies recommend 48 hour preheat. By doing the 48 hour preheat you’re heating the litter depth down deep into the litter, so you’re releasing ammonia. So the number one thing when you release ammonia is if our product is on top of the ammonia at that point you’re burning it up.

So what we want to do is we want to heat the litter Release that ammonia, purge it out of the house before we put our product down. That’ll make our longevity much more on product

You typically don’t have anyone preheating much in the summer, and you’ve got to make sure that that you’ve got to the 85 plus degrees to release the ammonia. Typically in the summer, people will cut the rates. What they what they don’t understand by cutting your rate you’re losing so much of your pH reduction and you know, that’s something you really ought to consider.
