Reducing Odor
Odor is the most offensive problem relating to livestock operations. Basically, manure pits stink!
Many products claim to reduce, abate or mask odor, but Only Farm For Profit Manure Pit Liquefier corrects the causes of manure pit odor!
Manure-related odor is caused by the fermentation of organic compounds in livestock manure. Farm For Profit Manure Pit Liquefier works three ways:
- It establishes the mechanisms which reduce odor.
- It establishes the mechanisms by which those compounds can be converted into innocuous by-products of metabolic respiration, such as carbon dioxide and water.
- It converts nutrients to more environmentally friendly forms.
The microbial oxidation (metabolic respiration) of the organic compounds found in manure pits also:
- Reduces total nitrogen
- Reduces available phosphorus
- Breaks down solids (see table at right)
- Begin with an easy initial pit treatment
- Continue with a periodic maintenance program.
Each pit varies. Consult your local representative, or call Farm For Profit for application rates and procedures.
