Northeast, Nebraska | Yes, the treatment is adding biology that breaks down the solids, prevents crusting, and also prevents harmful gasses from being formed. Biggest compliment we get from people using it is how it decreases the amount of flies and the smell of the manure. When they collected the samples for the results I shared, they pulled samples I think he said every hour and put them in a 5 gallon bucket with a lid. When the pit was done being pumped, they took a drill with a mixer and mixed it up and then pulled the sample. It was the best way they could come up with to get a good representative sample as we all know manure can be pretty variable. Yes they have sampled other pits as well, but this is the first one I found in my files.
This biology doesn't come in a jug. They are dry weighted pucks so you can just take them and toss them evenly throughout the pits and they will not float. The biology in the puck will start feeding on the manure and then over time they will spread out. Pucks cost $3.50 a piece plus shippping and in a 2400 hd barn, we throw in 120 pucks in the first month($420) then 24 every month after($84) so total for a whole year is ($1344) give or take. They come in boxes of 60. I also have customers all over the midwest so if I happen to be going that way, I could probably save you shipping. | |
