Maintaining a clean, dry, and odour-free poultry coop is essential for raising healthy birds and producing high-quality eggs. Poor litter management can lead to ammonia build-up, wet bedding, fly infestations, and compromised egg quality. ChickenKoop™ Refresh, a natural adsorbent powder containing diatomaceous earth (DE) and attapulgite clay, provides a simple, chemical-free solution for improving litter conditions and supporting flock welfare.

Why Bedding Management Matters

Bedding, or litter, is the foundation of a poultry house. Its condition affects:

• Bird health: Wet bedding and high ammonia levels can cause respiratory problems, footpad dermatitis, and stress.
• Egg quality: Dirty or contaminated litter increases the risk of soiled eggs.
• Odour and fly control: Moist, compacted litter produces strong odours and attracts flies.
• Sustainability: Poor litter management reduces the potential to recycle spent bedding as nutrient-rich soil.

How ChickenKoop™ Refresh Works

ChickenKoop™ Refresh uses adsorbent powders—diatomaceous earth and attapulgite clay—to improve bedding and overall flock health.

1. Absorbs Moisture & Keeps Bedding Drier

• The porous minerals in DE and attapulgite clay soak up urine, spilled water, and humidity.
• Drier litter reduces ammonia production, prevents caking, and makes maintenance easier.

2. Reduces Ammonia & Odours

• Ammonia is produced when uric acid in droppings is broken down by bacteria in damp litter.
• The adsorbent powder binds ammonium ions, slowing ammonia release and controlling odours.
• Cleaner air improves bird welfare and reduces odour for farmworkers.

3. Helps Control Flies

• Dry, absorbent litter creates an environment that is less hospitable to flies, lowering disease risks.

4. Supports Cleaner Eggs

• Drier litter and lower ammonia levels mean eggs are less likely to get soiled, maintaining quality and freshness.

5. Chemical-Free & Eco-Friendly

• ChickenKoop™ Refresh is all-natural and chemical-free, safe for birds and humans.
• Spent litter can be returned to soil as a nutrient-rich soil improver, supporting sustainable farming.

6. Easy Application

• Recommended rate: 2–5 kg/m² on dry bedding.
• Works alongside proper ventilation, feed management, and routine litter care.
