AMOCHEK® FS & AMOCHEK® LIQUID

Modern poultry and pig farming systems demand high animal density, rapid growth rates, and optimum environmental management. Among the many environmental challenges faced by commercial livestock producers, ammonia (NH₃) gas accumulation remains one of the most serious threats to animal health, farm productivity, worker safety, and profitability.

To address this challenge, BALAJI INC. has developed two specialized ammonia management solutions:

• AMOCHEK® FS – Feed-based Ammonia Binder

• AMOCHEK® LIQUID – Water-based Ammonia Reduction Solution

Both products are formulated using Yucca schidigera extract and selected herbal ingredients to effectively reduce ammonia formation, improve air quality, and enhance livestock performance. Scientific studies have shown that Yucca schidigera supplementation can significantly reduce ammonia emissions and improve environmental conditions in livestock production systems. 

What is Ammonia and Why is it Dangerous?

Ammonia (NH₃) is a colorless gas produced during the decomposition of nitrogen-containing compounds present in manure, urine, and undigested protein. In poultry and pig houses, ammonia levels can rapidly increase due to:

• High stocking density

• Poor ventilation

• Excess dietary protein

• Wet litter conditions

• Poor manure management

• High environmental temperatures

Ammonia is a toxic gas that irritates the eyes, respiratory tract, and lungs of both animals and humans. Long-term exposure negatively affects animal performance and increases disease susceptibility. 

Impact of Ammonia on Poultry Farms

Excess ammonia in poultry houses can cause:

Respiratory Problems

• Damage to respiratory tract lining

• Increased susceptibility to CRD, Mycoplasma, E. coli, and viral infections

• Reduced oxygen utilization

Poor Growth Performance

• Reduced feed intake

• Poor feed conversion ratio (FCR)

• Lower body weight gain

Immunosuppression

• Reduced vaccine response

• Increased disease outbreaks

• Higher mortality

Reduced Production

• Lower egg production

• Poor eggshell quality

• Increased condemnations at processing

Studies have demonstrated that reducing ammonia levels improves bird comfort and production performance. 

Impact of Ammonia on Pig Farms

In swine production systems, ammonia accumulation causes:

• Respiratory irritation

• Pneumonia predisposition

• Reduced feed consumption

• Lower daily weight gain

• Reproductive stress

• Increased piglet mortality

• Poor worker environment

Pig houses with high ammonia levels frequently experience reduced productivity and increased medication costs. 

How Does Yucca Schidigera Reduce Ammonia?

Yucca schidigera is a natural desert plant rich in biologically active compounds called saponins.

These compounds work by:

✓ Binding ammonia molecules

✓ Reducing urease enzyme activity

✓ Lowering ammonia release from manure

✓ Improving nitrogen utilization

✓ Reducing foul odor generation

✓ Supporting beneficial gut microflora

Scientific research has demonstrated significant reductions in ammonia emission following Yucca supplementation in poultry and livestock systems.
