BETTER. AMMONIA. MANAGEMENT. PERIOD.

Lower Litter pH & In-House Ammonia for
Healthier Birds & Lower Energy Costs

Increase your bottom line

KLASP™ lowers ammonia emissions:
  • Improves house environment
  • Reduces ventilation requirements
  • Lowers auxiliary heat consumption


KLASP™ sequesters phosphorous & nitrogen resulting in:
  • Improved litter nutrient values
  • Reduced nutrient release rates and environmental impact of litter applications

​
The KLASP™ Patented granular formulation provides:
  • Extended product activity
  • Greater surface area impact per-pound
  • Minimal dusting and fogging

Klasp™ Litter Amendment effectively reduces ammonia, sequesters phosphorous and nitrogen and efficiently lowers litter pH while providing a drier poultry house environment.​

(Fe2 (SO4)3•9H2O) Litter Amendment is a dry, granulated form of ferric sulfate that contains approximately 20% iron as Fe+3. It is nontoxic, nonhazardous and classified as a GRAS (Generally Regarded as Safe) substance to be used by the poultry industry in pursuit of best management practices.

Improved Bird Environment

Poultry producers traditionally use ventilation and acid-based litter amendments to lower pH, bind litter nitrogen, sequester phosphorus, and dry the litter cake. With respect to ventilation, energy costs increase as ambient temperature decreases. While acid-based litter amendments can be effective for the short-term control of ammonia (NH3), this effect is typically short-lived in the broiler house environment. The use of litter amendments should provide the poultry producer a net benefit, by providing lower mortality, in-house ammonia control and energy savings, while meeting all environmental goals of the producer. 


The use of Kemira® Klasp™ Litter Amendment creates an improved bird environment and enhanced overall general animal health.

Application Recommendations

For Use in Turkey Houses:
Apply 2-7 days BEFORE Bird Placement
Apply ANYTIME Mid-Flock for Ammonia Knock-Down

For use in Broiler Chicken houses:
Apply 4-7 days BEFORE bird placement, drag in lightly
Apply ANYTIME for Mid-Flock Ammonia Knock-down

A rate of 75-100 pounds of Klasp™ Litter Amendment per 1,000 ft2 of floor space is the typical recommendation for the treatment of broiler and turkey litter. Lower rates (50-75 pounds per 1,000 ft2) may be used during summer flocks. Higher application rates (100-150 pounds per 1,000 ft2) may be required under extreme conditions. Rate selection for each operation will depend on current management practices and needs, based on factors such as litter reuse, short layout periods, ventilation control and existing litter moisture levels. Klasp™ Litter Amendment can be safely applied with birds in the house to address management issues that occur post-placement. As an authorized Klasp™ distributor we can provide rate recommendations that meet your individual needs and goals.
