Solutions and Support for Evolving Animal Production
Jones-Hamilton Co. entered the animal production industry in the early 1990s in response to the demand for ammonia control solutions for poultry houses. Working with partners in academia, the company introduced PLT® to growers and integrators as an easy-to-apply and affordable solution to control the volatilization of ammonia in litter.
Since that time, Jones-Hamilton Co. has expanded its product line and built a reputation as a leading provider of animal health and nutrition solutions.
Satisfying Diverse Acidification Needs
Ongoing research through numerous academic and private research institutions began to extend product applications of sodium bisulfate from commercial poultry litter to other environmental application areas for health and welfare, including:
In any application, the fundamental benefit is the management of air, bedding or water to improve the quality of the environment of the animal, usually expressed as the control of pH.
Water Acidification for Livestock
Managing water pH is a key goal of our agricultural division. PWT® is the strongest animal feed grade mineral acid available and it requires a low addition rate to acidify drinking water to biologically effective low pH levels for:
- Poultry drinking water
- Swine drinking water
- Maximize chlorine effectiveness for waterline cleaning and sanitation
Unlock the Power of Sulfate
Jones-Hamilton manufacturers a unique functional feed ingredient for all classes of poultry that provides improved bird performance by increasing gut integrity.
Containing 19.7% sodium* and 80% sulfate, AFG® – Animal Feed Grade is a non-chloride sodium source with the highest sulfate content of any ingredient or additive. In the GI tract, sulfate ions bind to the mucin molecules that compose the mucus layer, and this helps to protect the mucus layer from bacterial and enzymatic degradation.
Supporting the Health of Companion Animals
SBS Pet® is a natural acidifier for the pet food industry used in dry cat food for feline urine acidification and in soft treat and liquid digest for pH reduction and preservation. Petfood nutritionists value the ability of sodium bisulfate to reduce the risk of urinary tract disease, increase food stability and reduce pH, boost palatability for felines, and control Salmonella in dry food post extrusion.
