“…However, different results were reported by McWard and Taylor (2000) who found that broilers raised on LT with sodium bisulfate, an acidic substance, had higher body weight (2.74 kg) than those raised on untreated litter (2.60 kg), probably because acidic substances reduce litter pH and ammonia volatilization, resulting in better environmental conditions for the birds. Similarly, Bennett et al (2005), supplemented 0.2% hydrated lime in the poultry litter and observed that birds raised on the treated litter had higher body weight (1465 g, compared to 1406 g in untreated litter) at 35 days of age, and attributed this to lower bacterial concentrations in the treated litter.…”

“…Nagaraj et al (2007) did not note differences in lesion scores in the footpads of broilers at 42 and 49 days of age raised on litters treated with sodium bisulfate, an acidic substance. Different results were observed by McWard and Taylor (2000) who treated litter with acidified clay, sodium bisulfate, and aluminum sulfate. They reported a slight reduction of lesion scores in breasts and footpads as compared with birds raised on untreated litter.…”

“…Many scientists have reported that the most efficient method to treat litter to reduce ammonia production by means of reducing pH, bacteria and mold counts, is use of various chemical products. These chemicals called chemical amendments such as Al2(SO4)3.14H2O (Moore, 1996), AlCl 3 .6H 2 O (Smith, 2004), paraformaldehyde (Seltzer et al, 1969), zeolites like clinoptilolite (Nakaue et al, 1981), superphosphate (Cotterill and Winter, 1953), phosphoric acid (Reece et al, 1979), ferrous sulfate (Huff et al, 1984), hydrated lime, limestone, gypsum (Cotterill and Winter, 1953), acetic acid, propionic acid 21 (Parkhurst et al, 1974), and antibiotics (Kitai and Arakawa, 1979), and Poultry Guard (McWard, 2000). These chemical amendments act by inhibiting microbial growth and by combining with the released ammonia and neutralize it.…”
