Ammonia Stinks
Urine Smell, Stall Odor & Health Risks
If you smell ammonia in your horse stall, you have more than an odor problem — you have a health problem.
Ammonia does stink! Absolutely. The accumulation of ammonia in horse stalls and barns is more than an odor nuisance; it is a serious health concern. Studies have concluded that even low levels of ammonia stress a horse’s upper respiratory airway, placing them at risk of pneumonia, heaves (an asthma-like condition), and a host of other respiratory ailments. Foals are especially vulnerable to these respiratory hazards, and extended stall time can very quickly elevate the ammonia levels to unhealthful levels for all horses.
