The problem of odour from manure produced from poultry farm was caused by the formation of ammonia gas and hydrogen sulfide gas, which is a microbial process. A study on the activity of zeolit and chlorine combination to minimized the odour was carried out using completely randomized design with two factors. Three levels of zeolit as first factors were combined with two levels of chlorine as the second factors. The study showed that combinations between zeolit and chlorine was able to decrease the concentration of ammonia and hidrogen sulfide gas, the total number of microbes, humidity and pH, however was not significant. The higher level of either zeolit or chlorine the smaller the concentration of ammonia gas, hydrogen sulfide gas and pH manure. The humidity decreased with increasing level of zeolit with or without chlorine. While the total number of microbes decreased with application of chlorine combination with zeolit or without zeolit. Further study is needed on the effect of zeolit and chlorine for the farm animal itself
