WALBRIDGE, OHIO—PLT® Poultry Litter Treatment, the first litter amendment introduced to the commercial poultry industry for ammonia control, is celebrating its 30th anniversary. Manufactured and distributed by Jones-Hamilton Co., PLT was the company’s first animal agriculture-focused product and has remained the top selling amendment over its 30 years.
“PLT has evolved to become more than an ammonia management tool,” said Mike Putnam, Vice President, Jones-Hamilton Agricultural Division. “PLT sits in a unique position of being the only EPA Safer Choice amendment and the only product that can be applied with animals present. To support the product’s immense value, Jones-Hamilton employs a respected sales and technical team known for industry education and customer support.”
In addition, the company makes significant ongoing investments in R&D to understand and fully leverage the impact of environmental management on sustainability, nutrition, food safety, and animal welfare.
“Jones-Hamilton has compiled 30 years of research and continues to provide industry-leading technical support for all things litter management. It’s why PLT has been and will continue to be the leading litter amendment on the market,” commented Joey Bray, Ph.D., Technical Support Representative.
Sales Manager, Kimber Ward, who is also a broiler grower in Maryland, understands from multiple angles why the product continues to thrive. “It’s the consistent efficacy,” commented Ward. “The manufacturing process delivers an effective, predictable product that just works. It’s like having a partner in the chicken house. I, and a lot of other growers, rely on it.”
PLT® is a mineral-based acidifier that lowers litter pH and eliminates ammonia for improved air quality in poultry houses. Since PLT’s release in 1994, Jones-Hamilton has launched multiple products for animal agriculture for ammonia control and pH reduction.
