Nephrotoxicity is a common side effect of medications. Panax ginseng is one of the best-known herbal medicines and its individual constituents enhance renal function. Identification of its efficacy and mechanisms of action against drug-induced nephrotoxicity as well as the specific constituents mediating this effect have recently emerged as an interesting research area focusing on the kidney-protective efficacy of P. ginseng.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of Red Ginseng marc with alum as litter amendments on ammonia, soluble reactive phosphorus, and pathogen populations in poultry litters.
