Natural Zeolite Clinoptilolite Odor Control for Commercial or Household Use

Odor Control
Recommended product:  Grades A and C

Safetysorb™ Zeolite can be used for the odor control of manure and urea from dairy cows, feeder cows, horses, hogs, poultry, pig farms and most other animals.

Most of the odor from animal manure/urea is generated from the conversion of ammonium (odorless) to ammonia gas and airborne nitrates and sulfates. Safetysorb™ Zeolite will absorb moisture and will hold the ammonium by two methods. First, it will hold it in open pore spaces by adsorption. Safetysorb™ Zeolite will hold up to 60% of its weight in water. Second, it will hold the ammonium cation in the mineral lattice by a method called 'cation exchange' (measured as cation exchange capacity or 'CEC'). In absorption, the ammonium is held loosely and is water soluble, but in the cation exchange position, the ammonium is not water-soluble but is plant accessible. The amount of Safetysorb™ Zeolite required to eliminate odor is dependent on the moisture and nitrogen content of the manure/urea. Reducing the moisture content with Safetysorb™ Zeolite generally reduces the fly and maggot larvae also. The more Safetysorb™ Zeolite used, the less the moisture content of the manure. Hog and poultry manure are higher in nitrogen content than that of feedlot and dairy cows. In general, 300 to 600 pounds of Safetysorb™ Zeolite are used per ton of manure/urea. Consequently, more Safetysorb™ Zeolite would be used for hogs and poultry. For odor, fly, and maggot control the following procedures are recommended:  Feed: Up to 2 percent by weight of the feed for animals can be Safetysorb™ Zeolite. This not only will assist in odor control, but will also counteract diarrhea, as it is an effective mycotoxin binder.
