Abstract: 

Wet litter is a recognized issue in commercial poultry production and litter quality has come under great scrutiny with the introduction of farming scheme standards by animal welfare organizations in Australia (RSPCA, 2013). According to RSPCA (2013) meat chicken standards, "litter must be maintained in a dry and friable condition." Litter conditions may affect odour emissions and thus litter properties were studied to correlate with specific odorants.
