This article identifies the sources of environmental hazard in the area of poultry farms impact. The analysis of the nature and scope of pollution is made. Developmental specifics of poultry farming in Ukraine are considered. The prospects of the utilization of natural sorbents in the composition of bedding in order to mitigate pollution of the environment with ammonia and ammonium compounds are studied. The scope of reduction of environmental hazard as a result of the utilisation of natural dispersive sorbents in poultry farming is analysed.

This research is devoted to ecological problems associated with the development of poultry farming in Ukraine. It provides practical approach to the reduction of ammonium emissions from poultry farms, which results in an opportunity to produce organicmineral fertiliser. Organic-mineral fertilisers obtained this way were tested in field.
