Yep if you feed too much protein, the digestive system rips off the 
amine radical and eliminates it through the urine. That forms the 
ammonia. I have not ammonia smell in my trailer or my barn. As far as 
shaving in the trailer, I use the "large" shavings - the local tack 
stores has two sizes. The small are like sawdust and would blow around 
in the trailer. The large don't have that problem.
