Why AUS DE Chooses Adsorbent Powders for Ammonia and Odour Control

Learn why AUS DE uses adsorbent powders, not absorbents or enzyme sprays, for superior ammonia and odour control in pet care, livestock, and agricultural applications.

The Challenge of Odour in Pets and Agriculture

Dog urine, livestock waste, and organic matter release volatile compounds like ammonia and urea, causing:

  • Strong odours in homes, kennels, and farms
  • Health and respiratory issues in animals and workers
  • Reduced hygiene, productivity, and environmental quality

Traditional solutions, such as enzyme sprays or absorbent powders, often fail to neutralise odours efficiently, especially on dry surfaces.


Why Adsorbent Powders are Superior

1. Molecular-Level Odour Neutralisation

  • Adsorbent powders trap ammonia and volatile organics on the surface, preventing odours from escaping.
  • Absorbents only soak liquids, leaving odours behind.
  • Enzyme sprays rely on moisture and microbial activity, which is slower and less reliable.

2. Immediate and Long-Lasting Results

  • Odours are neutralised instantly, not over hours or days.
  • Keeps bedding, litter, turf, and agricultural surfaces dry and odour-free.

3. Safe, Natural, and Eco-Friendly

  • Diatomaceous earth (DE) and attapulgite clay are non-toxic and safe for pets, livestock, humans, and the environment.
  • Provide a chemical-free alternative to synthetic sprays and treatments.

How DE + Attapulgite Clay Work Together

  • Diatomaceous Earth (DE): Highly porous, providing a large surface area to adsorb odour molecules and moisture.
  • Attapulgite Clay: Needle-like crystalline structure with high cation exchange capacity, effectively binding ammonia and other odours.
  • Blended Effect: Forms a natural deodorising powder that is fast-acting, long-lasting, and versatile.

Applications Across Pet and Agricultural Settings

  • Pets: Sprinkle over bedding, litter boxes, kennels, and turf for instant dog odour control.
  • Livestock & Poultry: Reduce ammonia levels in barns, cages, pens, and poultry houses.
  • Agriculture: Manage odours in manure, compost, and high-traffic farm areas naturally.
