Livestock — Process Challenge

Controlling Ammonia and Odor in Animal Housing

Swine/poultry facilities generate ammonia and odor from manure/litter; need litter acidifiers, oxidizers, and amendments that bind or destroy ammonia
Why It Matters
Swine/poultry facilities generate ammonia and odor from manure/litter; need litter acidifiers, oxidizers, and amendments that bind or destroy ammonia
Solution Approach

Swine/poultry facilities generate ammonia and odor from manure/litter; need litter acidifiers, oxidizers, and amendments that bind or destroy ammonia RawSource supplies the base chemicals that go into these programs. We can help with product selection, grade matching, and sourcing from multiple origins for supply security.

Typical Application Workflow
1
Application & Agronomic Review
Define the use (crop input, adjuvant, soil amendment, post-harvest) and the agronomic, regulatory, and tank-mix requirements.
2
Input & Grade Selection
Match the surfactant or adjuvant, nutrient source, chelate, or formulation aid to the active, water quality, and label.
3
Compatibility & Rate Trial
Confirm tank-mix compatibility, dose, and stability, and size packaging (jugs, drums, totes, bulk) to the season and logistics.
4
Field Validation
Validate efficacy and crop safety in field trials, and lock the spec and supply plan for the season.
Recommended Chemistries (3)
Ferrous Sulfate
CAS 7720-78-7
Acids & Salts
pH Adjustment
