For use as an agricultural fertilizer, Al⁺Clear^® treated poultry litter is a more valuable litter than untreated litter due to the relatively high total nitrogen content.  The average Al⁺Clear^® treated litter will retain five pounds more nitrogen than untreated litter.  This is caused by acidic conditions which result from the Al⁺Clear^® application.  In these acidic conditions ammonia (volatile) is converted into an ammonium salt, which is non-volatile form of nitrogen.  Therefore, the nitrogen is retained in the litter and results in a higher fertilizer value.  Also, since Al⁺Clear^® readily binds soluble phosphorus, Al⁺Clear^® treated litter allows more flexibility in the application of litter onto pastures by, reducing runoff of soluble phosphorus and heavy metals as compared to untreated litter.
