In intensive farming the quality of the litter is pivotal, as well as the possibility to keep it dry. Bedding must be handled properly to ensure that the animals are kept in a comfortable environment and avoiding plantar injury. Moreover, a well-managed and dry litter is more reusable and less damaging to the environment, reducing ammonia emissions and thus the concentration of ammonia in the environment.

This GP (Good Practice) involves the administration in litter of a powdered product, composed of a mixture of mineral absorbers, vegetable absorbents and essential oils (bentonite and citrus essential oils). A part of the product is distributed at the time of preparation of the environment of the chick, normally placing it between the floor and the litter. The product is then distributed under the watering troughs whenever the litter becomes particularly wet in those points. This product is allowed for use in the presences of animals and is not harmful to humans.
