What is POULTRY GUARD

It is an absorbent clay carrier loaded with pure concentrated sulfuric acid.

CONTROL OF AMMONIA / POULTRY GUARD Back
POULTRY GUARD	Ammonia is a colorless gas produced by microbial decomposition of nitrogenous compounds
Why Poultry GUARD is required in poultry farm?	Ammonia is a colorless gas produced by microbial decomposition of nitrogenous compounds (protein, amino acids and non-protein nitrogen) in the excreta. Birds do not utilize all the protein/nitrogen consumed and excrete the excess nitrogen as uric acid. Without adequate ventilation it is possible for ammonia levels to climb as high as 40-70 ppm in the ambient air. At these levels, it can actually reduce growth performance by impairing the normal respiratory function of the young chick. As ammonia concentrations exceed 50 ppm, there is the risk of causing blindness with chicks, caused by the inflammation of the cornea and conjunctiva. A big problem is the decreased health status of the bird and therefore reduced immune response. If too much fresh (cold) air is required to keep ammonia levels down, energy costs to heat the fresh air can become expensive.
Advantages	It delivers consistent ammonia control. It does not require moisture during application. It does not have to be incorporated into the litter. It is virtually dust free. It takes up moisture much faster than other similar products.
How does it work?	It works by reducing litter pH and by binding ammonia. It reacts with and neutralizes the ammonia that is released.
What happens if Poultry GUARD is used?	Reduction of litter pH is important because it reduces bacterial activity. Even good bacteria can be a problem because they generate ammonia. Most bacteria cannot grow well under acidic conditions.
Benefits	Increased body weight at 21 days 34 g Reduction of ammonia levels for up to 30 days Improves adjusted FCR and breast blister scores. Eliminates Salmonella when used as a disinfectant during house clean-out. Applied on the floor of the house (not on the litter) has been shown to eliminate Salmonella. It is applied on layer litter. Will knock down initial ammonia levels directly upon application and it lower the litter pH to slow the production of ammonia causing organisms. Ammonia levels will remain low for 7-10 days or longer. It can be re-applied It helps to reduce litter beetle counts. Better performance (less mortality, better FCR, better quality) Less secondary infections Less use of antibiotics Better immune response Energy saving Cost effectiveness
Cost	Use 0.250g/m2 Cost: R1.12/m2 Cost for 1,500m2 house = R1,687.50
