Applications in Odor Control
Solutions for production environments and waste treatment
Farms and Poultry Houses
The powder is applied over poultry litter. It retains ammonia and contributes to drier litter: with 100 g/kg clinoptilolite in the litter, moisture, pH and ammonia fell over 3 flocks (Schneider et al., 2016).
Composting
A layer or blend of zeolite in the composting material retains volatilized ammonia; in a laboratory simulator, a 38% zeolite layer over poultry manure reduced NH₃ losses by 44% (Kithome et al., 1999).
Urea-Fertilized Soils
Clinoptilolite incorporated into the soil reduced ammonia volatilization 3 to 4.4 times at 15 g/kg (He et al., 2002).
Pig Barn (via feed)
With 1% and 2% clinoptilolite in the feed of finishing pigs, ammonia emitted in the barn fell from 1.79 to 1.62 and 1.34 kg per pig, up to 25% less; there was no difference during manure storage (Dinuccio et al., 2022).
* Reference doses. They may be reviewed by qualified professionals, such as veterinarians, agronomists, animal scientists, chemists and food engineers, among others, since professional titles and qualifications vary between countries; local regulatory bodies may also set their own limits.
