Poultry houses and barns face constant challenges from ammonia emissions generated in manure and litter. As uric acid and urea break down, nitrogen is rapidly converted into free ammonia (NH3), leading to odor issues, bird stress, reduced feed efficiency, and worker discomfort. Elevated ammonia levels also diminish manure fertilizer value by driving nitrogen loss into the air instead of keeping it in the litter. Seasonal humidity, variable litter quality, and high stocking densities further intensify the ammonia problem, making reliable poultry house air quality solutions essential for modern farms.
Ammonia Treat for Poultry (ATp) is a microbial ammonia reducer and probiotic litter treatment developed for broiler, layer, breeder, turkey, and specialty poultry operations. This microbial additive combines high-activity bacteria and fungi that consume free ammonia, convert organic nitrogen into stable forms, and release excess nitrogen as harmless nitrogen gas. By stabilizing nitrogen in the litter, ATp not only lowers in-house ammonia ppm levels, delivering measurable ammonia control for broiler houses and layer barns, but also enhances the nutrient value of manure for downstream use as fertilizer.
Unlike chemical additives, ATp serves as a microbial alternative to alum and sodium bisulfate poultry litter treatments, providing a non-corrosive ammonia control poultry solution that supports barn ecology and long-term sustainability. The formulation includes denitrifying bacteria for poultry litter that actively convert ammonia to nitrogen gas and help retain nitrogen in poultry litter for higher fertilizer value. Applied as little as once per month, this probiotic litter treatment simplifies management while consistently improving poultry barn air quality, reducing respiratory irritation in birds, and supporting healthier, more productive flocks.
Applications
- Broiler House Ammonia Control: Reduce NH3 levels in high-density grow-out barns to support healthier, faster-growing birds.
- Layer & Breeder Barn Ammonia Control: Stabilize air quality and litter conditions in long-cycle operations.
- Turkey & Specialty Poultry Barn Ammonia Control: Control odor and ammonia in facilities with heavier litter loads and higher ammonia generation.
- Composted Poultry Litter Ammonia Control: Preserve nitrogen value during litter storage and composting, improving end-use fertilizer quality.
Poultry House Ammonia & Odor Control
ATp provides reliable poultry ammonia control by targeting emissions at the source.
- Consumes free ammonia, lowering in-house ppm levels and helping farms meet 25 ppm ammonia guideline requirements.
- Converts nitrogen into stable organic forms, retaining nutrient value in litter.
- Delivers lasting ammonia odor control for poultry barns, improving air quality for both workers and neighbors.
Protects Bird Health & Performance
Improves poultry barn air quality, reducing stress and supporting better flock outcomes.
- Helps reduce respiratory irritation in birds and lowers risk of eye, skin, and lung damage.
- Minimizes footpad dermatitis risk and other litter-related health issues.
- Reduces bird stress from ammonia, supporting stronger immunity and more stable production.
- Enhances broiler performance and ammonia resilience, contributing to improved feed conversion ratio (FCR).
Enhances Fertilizer Value of Poultry Manure
ATp prevents nitrogen loss, turning waste into a more valuable resource.
- Retains nitrogen in poultry litter in more plant-available forms.
- Improves litter microbiome management for more consistent manure quality.
- Increases the market value of manure or composted litter for downstream fertilizer use.
Simplifies Management & Reduces Costs
An ammonia reducing microbial additive that integrates easily with standard litter management.
- Applied monthly or bi-monthly, reducing labor compared to frequent chemical treatments.
- Provides a safe, non-corrosive solution that helps farms meet guideline targets and maintain consistent poultry ammonia control.
- Functions as an effective alternative to alum poultry litter and sodium bisulfate PLT, without the drawbacks of chemical acidifiers.
- Improves working conditions by maintaining cleaner, safer barn air.
