PROBLEMS IN POULTRY INDUSTRY
1. FINANCIAL
FIRST COST IS COSTLY. OPERATION COST (feed cost and labour) IS HIGH.
2. MARKETING CEILING PRICE IS FIXED.
3. PRODUCTION-QUALITY OF CHICK AND ALSO FOOD, INEXPERIENCE WORKERS ETC.
4. DISEASES
5. ENVIRONMENTAL- BAD ODOUR - FLIES
INTRODUCTION
QUALITY CHICKS, FEED AND WATER ARE ALL OF GREAT CONCERN TO BROILER OR LAYER PRODUCERS; BUT QUALITY OF LITTER IN THEIR HOUSES ARE SELDOM GIVEN SUFFICIENT EMPHASIS.
THIS IS UNFORTUNATE BECAUSE BIRDS ARE IN CONTINUOUS CONTACT WITH LITTER.
LITTER CONDITIONS SIGNIFICANTLY INFLUENCE BROILER PERFORMANCE AND, UTIMATELY, THE PROFITS OF GROWERS AND INTEGRATORS.
WHAT IS LITTER
LITTER IS DEFINED AS THE COMBINATION OF BEDDING MATERIAL, EXCRETA, FEATHERS, WASTED FEED AND WASTE WATER
LITTER QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE
BROILERS DO NOT PERFORM TO THEIR GENETIC POTENTIAL IN A POOR ENVIRONMENT.
THE LITTER ENVIRONMENT IS IDEAL FOR BACTERIAL PROLIFERATION AND AMMONIA PRODUCTION.
THE QUALITY OF THE IN-HOUSE ENVIRONMENT IS HIGHLY DEPENDENT
UPON LITTER QUALITY.
THE TWO FACTORS THAT INFLUENCE LITTER CONDITIONS MOST ARE MANURE AND MOISTURE.
THE MANURE PORTION IS LARGELY OUT OF A GROWER’S CONTROL; HOWEVER GROWERS CAN AND MUST CONTROL LITTER MOISTURE.
EXCESS MOISTURE IN THE LITTER INCREASES OF BREAST BLISTERS,SKIN BURNS, SCABBY AREAS, BRUISING, CONDEMNATIONS AND DOWNGRADES.
THE WETTER THE LITTER, THE MOST LIKELY IT WILL PROMOTE THE PROLIFERATION OF PATHOGENIC BACTERIA AND MOLDS.
WET LITTER IS ALSO THE PRIMARY CAUSE OF AMMONIA EMISSIONS, ONE OF THE MOST SERIOUS PERFORMANCE AND ENVIRONMENTAL FACTORS AFFECTING BROILER PRODUCTION TODAY.
THUS, CONTROLLING LITTER IS THE MOST IMPORTANT STEP IN AVIODING AMMONIA PROBLEMS.
DANGER OF CONTAMINATED LITTER
l
High humidity, warm temperatures and high pH favor the proliferation of pathogens in the litter. Avian influenza, laryngotracheitis, gangrenous dermatitis, gumboro, reovirus, bronchitis and botulism are several of the more serious viral and bacterial diseases known to spread easily in contaminated litter.
WHY POULTRY LITTER MANAGEMENT IS IMPORTANT?
lEVERY 1000 BIRDS IN THE POULTRY HOUSE WILL EXCRETE 1.6 TONNES WET LITTER OR 1.0 TONNES OF DRY LITTER EVERY CYCLE.
lQUANTITY- 3.5% OF BODY WEIGHT.
lCOMPOSITION
la. Nitrogen 1.2% ---- urea 6.2%
l ---- uric acid 2.9%
l ---- ammonia 9.8-9.9%
l ---- nitrates- traces
l ---- nitrites - traces
lb. Phosphorus - p2 05 (Calcium phosphates) 0.6-0.8%
lc. Potassium -1.0%
lN+P+K = 3% approximately
WHY BAD ODOUR FROM THE LITTER?
l
VOLATILIZATION OF AMMONIA HAS BEEN ATTRIBUTED TO MICROBIAL DECOMPOSITION OF NITROGEN COMPOUNDS, PRINCIPALLY URIC ACID IN THE LITTER.
HOW AMMONIA IS FORMED?
n
BREAKDOWN OF URIC ACID.
nURIC ACID DECOMPOSITION IS MOST FAVOURED UNDER
ALKALINE CONDITIONS.
ABOUT AMMONIA
l
“If ammonia reaches 50ppm and above, the feed conversion ratio will increased by 8 points and the final weight body will decreased by 0.25 lbs.’’
l“The human nose is able to detect ammonia levels near 15 parts per million (ppm) but will lose even this level of sensitivity with long-term exposure.”
l“ Ammonia concentrations of 50 to 110 ppm can cause the human eye to burn and tear and induce possible health risks to farm workers. EPA has set human exposure standards that should not exceed 25 ppm per 8 hours or 35ppm per 15 minutes of exposure.”
OUR SOLUTION
lSTOP THE BREAKDOWN OF URIC ACID VIA REDUCING THE pH or ACIDIFIES.
CHEMICAL ATTEMPT TO REDUCE THE pH.
nUSAGE OF CALCIUM SULPHATE, SODIUM BISULPHATE, ALUMINIUM POTASSIUM SULPHATE, PHOSPHORIC ACID.
nTHESE CHEMICALS HAVE BEEN ABLE TO REDUCE THE pH BUT ALSO REDUCTION IN SULPHUR OR SULPHIDE WHICH LEADS TO THE FORMATION OF HYDROGEN SULPHIDE.

GAP AND BIO GAP
lMICROBIAL TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTED BY BIOCHEMICAL PRODUCT
lCOMBINATION OF BIOLOGICAL TREATMENT AND BIOCHEMICAL TREATMENT
BACKGROUND OF THE TECHNOLOGY
Basic of the G.A.P technology
microbial technology supported by biochemical product utilization for augmentation of rate of reaction

Biochemical product
Biochemical product
conglomeration of oxidative chemicals that can change the toxic ammonia to ionized state
• Oxides of Calcium, Carbonate/Calcium
• Oxides of Silica
• Oxides of Potassium
• Oxides of Titanium
lHelps in ionization and denitrification process
GAP is a versatile non-toxic chemical formulation.
It comprises oxygen donors, rapid oxidizers, and high rate denitrifiers.
It requires all these characteristics to transform the toxic ammonia that is released due to the breakdown of Uric acid present in the poultry droppings.
GAP will be used initially; the excessive nitrogen (ammonia) will be quickly transformed into non-toxic form.
