Ammonia is a colorless, highly irritant, alkaline gas, which is produced during the decomposition of organic matter by bacterial de-amination or reduction of nitrogenous substances. Ammonia often accumulates in high concentration when poultry are confined in building and provided with artificial heat and ventilation. Ammonia is water soluble and can thus be absorbed in dust particles and litter as well as in mucous membranes, producing ammonium hydroxide. Ammonium hydroxide is toxic to animal cell and known symptoms of ammonia toxicity include keratoconjunctivitis, coughing, sneezing, blindness (partial / complete), breast blisters etc. The problem of increased ammonia production is seen more in grown out phase of broiler production. Higher concentration of ammonia (> 25 ppm) produces harmful effects ranging from conjunctivitis to immune suppression resulting in poor performance of birds.
