KlinoNsorb® – The Natural Solution for Poultry House Air

KlinoNsorb®

KlinoNsorb® is a natural additive for litter in poultry houses and serves to reduce ammonia formation and emissions as well as to improve barn air and housing conditions.

The product is based on natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) of sedimentary origin, which acts as a natural ion exchanger. The specially prepared zeolite possesses the property of specifically and selectively binding ammonium (NH₄⁺), which is generated by the animals’ excretions.

Due to the practically irreversible binding of the ammonium, the conversion to ammonia (NH₃) is prevented. As a result, KlinoNsorb® effectively contributes to lowering the ammonia concentration in the barn air, relieving the animals, and reducing emissions into the environment.

Function

As a natural litter additive, KlinoNsorb® fulfills several targeted functions for reducing ammonia emissions and improving barn conditions in poultry farming.

  • Binds ammonium (NH₄⁺) specifically and selectively in the litter.

  • Prevents the conversion of ammonium to ammonia (NH₃).

  • Reduces the ammonia concentration in the barn air.

  • Relieves the animals and reduces stress caused by ammonia exposure.

  • Sustainably reduces ammonia emissions into the environment.

How KlinoNsorb® works

KlinoNsorb® is based on natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) of sedimentary origin, which acts as a natural ion exchanger. After mining, the material is specially processed and thereby obtains the ability to bind ammonium specifically and selectively.

The ammonium resulting from the animals’ excretions is bound in the litter. This practically irreversible binding prevents the conversion of ammonium to gaseous ammonia. As a result, ammonia release is significantly reduced and the air quality in the barn is sustainably improved.

Effect on Animal Health and Environment

Increased ammonia concentrations in poultry houses are considered harmful to health starting from 20–25 ppm. They can cause inflammation of the mucous membranes and eyes and reduce the animals’ performance upon prolonged exposure.

By reducing the ammonia load, KlinoNsorb® contributes to stress reduction, strengthening of the animals’ immune system, and lowering of emissions into the environment.

Application and Effect

KlinoNsorb® is spread evenly over the litter before the animals are moved in. The material is granular (0.5–1.0 mm) and therefore low-dust, which enables simple and safe application.

It is recommended to distribute approx. 300 g per m² over the litter. In damp or wet areas, additional scattering can be done during the fattening period if necessary.

Through application in the litter, the resulting ammonium is bound. This reduces ammonia release and sustainably improves the air quality in the barn.

10 Reasons for KlinoNsorb®

Natural Raw Material

KlinoNsorb® is based on natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) of sedimentary origin. The material is a mineral raw material without synthetic additives.

Specially Prepared Zeolite

After mining, the zeolite is specifically processed. This gives KlinoNsorb® its selective and functional properties.

Selective Binding of Ammonium

KlinoNsorb® possesses a pronounced affinity for binding ammonium (NH₄⁺). The binding takes place specifically within the litter.

Practically Irreversible Effect

The bound ammonium remains permanently fixed in the material. A later release is thereby largely prevented.

Simple Integration into Litter

KlinoNsorb® is used as an additive to the existing litter. No changes to the form of husbandry are required.

Improved Air Quality in the Barn

By binding ammonium, the formation of ammonia is significantly reduced. This leads to sustainably better barn air.

Reduced Burden for the Animals

A lower ammonia concentration reduces the burden on the respiratory tract. As a result, stress factors in the barn are reduced.

Support of Animal Health

High ammonia levels can irritate mucous membranes and eyes. KlinoNsorb® contributes to minimizing these risks.

Reduction of Emissions into the Environment

Less released ammonia means lower emissions. KlinoNsorb® thus makes a contribution to environmental protection.

Very Low Costs per Animal

The costs for KlinoNsorb® are less than 3 cents (or rappen) per animal and fattening cycle. This makes its use economically attractive.

F.A.Q.

KlinoNsorb® is a natural additive for litter in poultry houses. It is used to bind ammonium and reduce the formation of ammonia in the barn air.

The product is based on natural zeolite (clinoptilolite), which acts as an ion exchanger. It binds ammonium specifically and practically irreversibly, thereby preventing the conversion to gaseous ammonia.

Yes, the costs are less than 3 cents (or rappen) per animal and fattening cycle. This makes KlinoNsorb® a cost-effective solution for reducing ammonia emissions.
