Adsorb
Plus is a unique and persistent livestock hygiene product
researched and
developed in Denmark over the last thirty years. It was developed in 1964,
as a far-sighted concept, whereby simple combinations of known chemical
properties are combined together so that they reinforce each other's effect.
This synergism means that two plus two becomes more than four. This results
in an effective and unique product with few or no side effects.Adsorb
Plus is considered to be a
very safe product. Evidence for this comes from
the Danish Veterinary reporting system. Ultimo 1990, consisting of quarterly
reports from Danish veterinarians provided detailed information from all of
Denmark, on animal and human health issues. Over many years there have been
no reports of side effects related to the use of Adsorb Plus. The product
had been on the market for 24 years, and many millions of pounds have been
used. The manufacturer, Stormollen A/S has to this day, neither in Denmark
nor abroad, received any complaints that can be related to the use of Adsorb
Plus.
The
product can therefore be classified as safe, non-poisonous and with few or
no side effects. Its good reputation has therefore grown over the years.
Adsorb Plus works via the scientific principle of Adsorption. Adsorption,
the enveloping of molecules or particles to a surface, must be distinguished
from Absorption, the filling of pores in a solid.
Ammonia – The Hidden Enemy
Nitrogen is excreted by animals in organic forms as feces and as urea in
urine, while in poultry as uric acid. Ammonia is released either by
decomposition of feces, or by hydrolysis of urea. Adsorb Plus is very
effective in lowering ammonia levels in livestock facilities.
Ammonia is a major appetite depressant, irritant and precursor to
serious respiratory and lung disorders.
Reduced ammonia levels benefit both employees and animals by providing an
optimal environment and enhanced comfort.
Adsorb Plus is capable of lowering ammonia levels by 60% in a single
application. Consistent application intervals allow for the effective
management of Ammonia levels.

Adsorb
Plus is capable of absorbing four times its weight in moisture.
Adsorb Plus offers the best solution!
The water binding efficacy of Adsorb Plus is enhanced in the presence of
Ammonia. 100g of Adsorb Plus will bind 80g of water, which can be seen in
the container on the left side.
If
a small amount of ammonia is added to the container, the water binding
capacity of Adsorb Plus increases dramatically. The container on the left
shows 100g of Adsorb Plus binding 400g of water.
This chemical profile of Adsorb Plus is highly useful in livestock
facilities, where increased levels of moisture correlates with increased
levels of ammonia.
Adsorb Plus is most effective when utilized at the low usage rate of
one pound per one hundred square feet – on a weekly basis. A building
with the dimensions of 500 feet by 32 feet would have 16,000 square feet of
space. The building then requires 160 pounds of product per treatment.
Higher use rates, per treatment, will not improve performance of the
product.
Adsorb Plus is available in 55 pound bags. Each bag will treat 5,500
square feet. Adsorb Plus
can be purchased by the pallet, consisting of 40
bags, with a total shipping weight of 2,200 pounds. |
