Wet litter in poultry sheds is one of the most costly and under-managed problems in commercial poultry production, leading to footpad dermatitis, high ammonia, poor feed conversion, and disease susceptibility — all directly impacting flock profitability. ChickenKoop Refresh is a proprietary blend of Western Australian attapulgite clay and freshwater diatomaceous earth that keeps litter dry, binds ammonia, and reduces odour — all naturally, safely, and without chemical inputs. Compatible with RSPCA, organic, and conventional systems, it improves bird welfare, stabilises production, and provides a domestically sourced alternative to imported chemical treatments. Australian growers can reduce FPD by up to 40%, lower ammonia levels, and protect feed efficiency, while also securing supply and lowering risk exposure. Ideal for broilers, layers, breeders, turkeys, and free-range operations, ChickenKoop Refresh is a natural, effective, and resilient solution that pays for itself in healthier birds, better carcass and paw quality, and improved flock performance.
