USPOULTRY Project Develops Feather-Derived Carbon Technology for Poultry Odor Control
The U.S. Poultry & Egg Association and the USPOULTRY Foundation have finalized a research project using carbonized feathers to reduce ammonia and odors in poultry houses. Led by Dr. Mohammadamin Ezazi from Georgia Southern University, the project tested a visible-light-responsive photocatalytic reactor in a full-scale broiler facility, achieving consistent ammonia reduction. This approach enhances bird welfare, worker safety, and environmental sustainability while supporting circular use of poultry byproducts.

The U.S. Poultry & Egg Association and the USPOULTRY Foundation announced a research project utilizing carbonized feathers for ammonia and odor control in poultry houses. Led by Dr.
Mohammadamin Ezazi from Georgia Southern University, the project tested a visible-light-responsive photocatalytic reactor, achieving consistent ammonia reductions in a full-scale broiler facility. The system combines activated carbon from chicken feathers with a silver phosphate photocatalyst, offering a sustainable solution to poultry production challenges. This method improves air quality and supports circular economy principles in the industry, confirming its feasibility for future implementation.
