Please note that we used two product names in combination below. Primebiotics is our own brand of super activated EM and AEM refers to the Activated EM that you might have activated yourself from the the Stock EM-1
Introduction
Odour control is a major problem confronting confined livestock production systems. In pig facilities some of the odour-causing compounds like ammonia are health hazards for people who work in the facility, for the animals, and are also a nuisance for the surrounding community. Research on the effects of ammonia in animal production systems show that it adversely affects growth rates, feed efficiency, fertility respiratory tract. It also increases stress in the animals and susceptibility to numerous diseases.
EM beneficial microbes break up ammonia. As ammonia is an oxidative substance, it is putrefactive and supports the growth of pathogenic microbes. EM has an antioxidant effect on manure. This antioxidant effect will resist putrefaction, preventing noxious odours. In addition, the makeup of EM has also been shown to promote the growth of other beneficial microbes therefore suppressing the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
Using EM not only helps control odour, a regular maintenance plan with it also
leads to a healthier operation that is more productive. The following guidelines are such a program to ensure your operation’s success with EM Treatment.
What we can expect
No bad odour, low stress, better food conversion (± 10%, therefore more profit), increased growth (± 10%), better meat quality, improved birth rate, reduced mortality, few flies and other insect pests, reduced labour costs and no or minimal need for antibiotics…
Methods of use
There are four different ways in which EM inoculants can be introduced into the production system.
1) As a pro-biotic additive to drinking water.
2) As a pro-biotic feed additive.
3) As an additive to sanitation spray water for washing the facility.
4) As a treatment added to the waste handling process.
Instructions:
EM is best applied regularly, so that a constant new supply of beneficial microbes are added to your system.
1) As a pro-biotic to the drinking water add Primebiotics Animal Health/AEM at 1:1000, continuously.
2) As a pro-biotic feed additive add 1-5% EM fermented feed or Primebiotics Bokashi to the regular feed. In absence of Primebiotics Bokashi, Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM can be lightly sprayed over the feed at a 1:100 dilution.
3) As an additive to sanitation spray. Spray & wash all surfaces of the barn with a diluted solution of Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM and water at 1:50. Pigs can also be sprayed at the same time, which they will enjoy, especially in summer. Ideally this is done daily at the beginning and can then be reduced to every second day and eventually twice per week. Your nose will tell you when to increase spraying again.
Spray Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM onto litter (whether fresh or caked-out). Minimum Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM to be used should be at 50 ml per square meter of barn. This calculated amount should be diluted in just enough water to cover floors adequately.
4) As treatment for the pig waste, add Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM to the manure, bedding and other organic waste and make valuable compost.
Primebiotics Environmental Health/AEM solution is sprayed at 1:100 dilution on the materials to achieve a final moisture content of 30-40%.
