This study was conducted to evaluate the impact of litter amendment(microbiological product – Micropan complex) and straw size (unchopped andchopped straw) on pH, moisture level, ammonia emission, and footpaddermatitis in broilers. A total of 1200 1-day-old Ross 308 broilers were randomly allocated to four treatments(2  ×  2 factorial arrangement), with four replicates per treatment.Each replicate consisted of 75 as-hatched birds per pen. The first factorconsisted of wheat straw – chopped (C) or unchopped (U) – and thesecond factor was the litter amendment with (WM) or without (OM)Micropan® (enzymatic bacterial product –Eurovix, USA). At 4, 5, and 6weeks of the trial, the levels of ammonia concentration, moisture content,and pH of litter in each pen were measured. The foot pad lesions wereevaluated at 21, 35, and 42 days of age. Broilers reared on chopped straw hadsignificantly better leg condition as expressed by a smaller incidence andseverity of footpad dermatitis. The pH value of litter was decreased andfootpad quality was significantly improved by Micropan application inbroilers kept on chopped and unchopped straw in the sixth week of age. Therewas no significant effect of Micropan application and straw size on ammoniaemission in broiler housing
