Comparison between zeolite and probiotic added in rabbit commercial diet in reducing ammonia concentration
Rabbit is one type of animal that been reared in our country as farm animal. Despites of their cuteness, rabbits will produce waste that includes urine, manure and residue. The amount of waste will be threatens to our health and animal's. Strong smells of ammonia can be nuisance to people. Henc...
