The implications for controlling ammonia in livestock
and poultry confinement units are far reaching in providing
healthier environment. Ammonia is colourless, highly
irritant, alkaline gas produced during the decomposition
of organic matter by bactericidal deamination or reduction
of nitrogenous substances. Major contribution of ammonia
to poultry houses is the breakdown of faecal uric acid
by microbes.
Effects of Ammonia :
Prolonged exposure of birds to ammonia results in :
a) Increased incidence of viral infections e)
Depressed feed intake
b) Severity of Coccidiosis f
) Depressed feed efficiency
c) Gross and micro lesions of air sacs g
) Susceptibility to NCD,
d) Depressed reproductive performance
air saculitis, CRD.
Mode of Action :
All natural plant extract from Yucca Schidigera
exerts its effect on the control of gram negative bacteria
which are responsible for conversion of uric acid to
ammonia. It binds urease enzyme which is essential for
the conversion of uric acid to ammonia. The steroidal
compound also contains surfactants to allow for better
utilization by bacteria that digest waste material.
The reduction in intestinal ammonia slows down
tissue turnover in the gut and allows for lean tissue
accretion. Thus the control of ammonia by use of ODOBAN-P30
is dual.
Advantages :
a) Improved environment
b) Reduces odour and sludge
c) Reduces Ascites mortality
d) Biodegradable
e) Flexibility - compatible with existing feeding programmes
f) Safe (GRAS status), no withdrawal
g) Economical
DOSAGE
:
100 - 125 gms / ton of feed initially for one week and
75 gms / ton for
regular usage. For any specific usage consult your veterinarian.
