1. A process for improving the health of a confinement-reared non-human animal which consists of treating bedding or litter material of said animal or droppings of said animal in a dropping pit of said animal or in a sedimentation tank of said animal, said sedimentation tank being located under where said animal is confined, with a sufficient amount of an aqueous solution containing an acid to achieve and maintain said bedding or litter material of said animal or said droppings in said dropping pit or sedimentation tank at an acid pH during the period of production and confinement of said animals, the acid being an inorganic acid which is hydrochloric acid, sulfuric acid, sulfurous acid, phosphoric acid, phosphorous acid, hydrochloric acid, boric acid, nitric acid, nitrous acid, hypochlorous acid or mixtures thereof.

2. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said treating step is conducted on said bedding or said litter.

3. The process as claimed in claim 2 wherein the acid is added batchwise.

4. The process as claimed in claim 2 wherein the acid is added continuously.

5. The process as claimed in claim 2 wherein a pH of about 4 is achieved and maintained in said bedding or litter material.

6. The process as claimed in claim 5 wherein said bedding or litter material is straw, stover, cotton gin waste, wood shavings, bagasse, corn cobs or garbage.

7. The process as claimed in claim 1 wherein said treating step is conducted on the droppings in said dropping pit.

8. The process as claimed in claim 7 wherein the acid is batchwise.

9. The process as claimed in claim 7 wherein the acid is added continuously.

10. The process as claimed in claim 7 wherein a pH of about 4 is achieved or maintained in said droppings in said dropping pit or sedimentation tank.

11. The process as claimed in claim 2 wherein said animal is a swine, a cattle, a goat, a rabbit, a horse or a poultry.

12. The process as claimed in claim 11 wherein said poultry is a chicken, a turkey or a quail.
