The majority of commercial broiler chickens worldwide are raised indoors in intensive production systems. The birds spend the vast majority of their lives on hard ground, which is covered with bedding material like wood shavings. The role of a good bedding material is to absorb moisture, dilute manure, and provide a clean and safe environment. One way to manage litter quality even better is through the addition of sophisticated amendments to the litter. Established adsorbents (e.g. bentonite, zeolite) are clay based compounds that reduce NH3 emissions. But recently, the use of biochar (a carbon-rich substance produced through pyrolysis of biomass) as an alternative poultry litter amendment has been gaining popularity in Europe. The objective of this study is to evaluate a novel soy-biochar granular litter amendment for broiler production. This innovative litter amendment uses a concentrated soy protein powder as an organic, botanically based binder for the otherwise very dusty biochar.
