Litter management

[Kishor Kumar]

In a broiler pen, litter needs changing <mark>when it becomes excessively wet, caked, or when ammonia levels become high</mark>, indicating the need for a fresh, dry litter layer to maintain a healthy environment for the birds. This is typically assessed by observing the litter’s moisture content, noting any clumping or caking, and monitoring ammonia odors in the house.
