Poultry Bedding
AttaZORB can be applied as an addition to poultry bedding, to assist in the control of ammonia levels in enclosed environments.
In chicken coops, the quality of the poultry bedding is controlled by the ammonia levels. The addition of AttaZORB to poultry bedding will absorb excess liquid, keeping the level of moisture in the poultry litter low, particularly during winter periods when temperatures and ventilation rates are lower.
Excessive moisture in chicken coops, is the primary cause of ammonia emissions, which is likely to promote pathogenic bacteria and mold. This can have a serious impact on the animal’s health, the environment and productive performance. AttaZORB can assist greatly in moisture management.
When the poultry bedding mixed with AttaZORB needs to be changed, it can be reused to deliver nutrients to plants and to improve soil condition, since it has useful properties for fertiliser and for soil amendment.
