Thousands of birds eat, sleep, and grow in these buildings. Since the birds' waste products remain in the building in most broiler and turkey operations, ammonia levels escalate to the point of impacting growth and mortality rates among the birds - especially in colder weather when doors and windows must remain closed. Ammonia levels increase succeptibility to respiratory and digestive tissue damage, and impair the bird's ability to metabolize its food. Surface contact products are the most efficient method of limiting ammonia formation in these facilities. Using pressurized mobile spraying equipment, or overhead nozzle systems (which are often installed for humidification purposes), surface product may be applied to the area efficiently and quickly. These are completely safe, cost effective, and long lasting liquid products. Due to the sensitive respiratory systems of the birds, air contact products are not an option. Since the birds generally agitate the barn litter, the surface application is quickly mixed throughout the loose material. Due to the mixing action of the birds, the surface product assumes the properties of an incorporation product, increasing longevity of performance.
