In this video, I show you how to control and eliminate the ammonia smell from a goat barn stall because of their urine.

Over the last week, things didn't seem right in my goat's stall. The straw bedding seemed damp even though it hadn't rained. And worse, there was a pungent smell that was unmistakeable, it was ammonia. Here's my story of how I dealt with my faux pas.

That is pretty much what I do for my goats. I put down PDZ on dirt then add pine shavings as well. I live in Idaho so in the winter where they bed down I add 6 inches of straw on top of the shavings to give them a buffer from the cold ground since I dont have raised beds for them. Then I kind of spot clean every day, Just clean up poop that it easy to scoop but more importantly pull up the pine shavings that are urine soaked. Once a month I completely clean goat barn out and let the dirt dry then repeat. Its a lot more work in the winter than summer for sure but only way I have found to keep the ammonia down when they spend 12 hours or more a day in the barn in winter months.

Sand then lime, pelleted pine, then shaving, then straw. Sand about 4-6 inches drains well and doesn’t hold moisture.

Not sure pine shaving are safe for goats to eat. Cause they will. Is it ok for them

Yes it is mostly fiber. They'll not enjoy it and only ingest a few.

After how many days should i change the pine shaving

I’d say it’s a function of your bedding depth, size of stall, and the number of goats. I wait until the stall looks rank or smells. Ranges from 1 to 3 months. The deeper the bedding, the longer you can go without changing.

I swap out usually 1 to 3 months, it’s a function on the size of the stall and depth of the bedding. The PDZ, I put enough down to cover most of the stall.
