Ammonia

[Wiley]

yeast infection could be a suspect, if you enter your loft and it smells like you wouldnt eat in there would be one of first things id get checked

have'nt got mice have you

[russell1]

have you got signs of a mouse? a buck mouse  urine smells of amonia!!

[chickadee]

if you have floor grils what would be the best deep litter for underneath them?

 

Just sprinkle Stalosan F over the droppings and it will kill the bacteria and the smell of ammonia

I've merged an earlier thread 'smell of ammonia' with the current thread 'ammonia'. The earlier thread contents are at the start of this thread and contain relevant information which may help the current enquirer.

Think you might have some dampness in there. Any signs of water getting in?
