Why ammonia so high in winter chicken houses?

In the winter, the ammonia in the poultry farming equipment will also become very high. What is the reason for the high concentration of ammonia in winter chicken houses?

In winter, the temperature is lowered and the chicken is frozen. Therefore, it is rare to ventilate, which makes it difficult to remove harmful gases such as ammonia. In addition, winter chicken houses are also to be well insulated, but also to ensure a certain degree of humidity.

The best way to prevent ammonia is to ventilate. Of course, some cases of abnormal increase in ammonia often indicate problems in the health of the chicken intestines.

Timely cleaning up the manure and reducing the hazard of ammonia. In addition to ventilation, paying attention to the health of the chicken’s intestines and timely cleaning up the stool, some other methods can be used. For example, charcoal, quicklime, cinder, etc. are used to adsorb harmful gases.

To control the density of breeding, the stocking density in the chicken house should not be too large, and the fermentation bed is generally 6-8 per square meter.
