IF Micro-Zyme: Optimising manure management for safer and sustainable agriculture

Introduction: Livestock manure is a concentrated source of organic matter, essential for the fertility of agricultural land. However, during storage and processing, several hazardous gases such as ammonia (NH₃), hydrogen sulphide (H₂S), and methane (CH₄) can be generated. These gases are not only harmful to human and animal health, but also highly corrosive to concrete structures.

Challenges:

• Ammonia (NH₃): Farmers and feed manufacturers are striving to reduce ammonia levels by reducing protein in feed and using synthetic amino acids.
• Hydrogen sulphide (H₂S) and Methane (CH₄): These gases are produced during anaerobic fermentation of manure. Storage of manure often leads to crusting, creating an anaerobic environment that promotes gas formation.
• Health and safety risks: The gases formed are very dangerous to humans and animals and contribute to severe corrosion of concrete.

Solution with IF Micro-Zyme:

Advantages:

• Reduced crusting: IF Micro-Zyme promotes a more homogeneous manure mixture, significantly reducing crusting.
• Improved pumpability: Manure becomes more fluid and easier to pump, which increases the efficiency of manure management.
• Reduction of hazardous gases: Through the activity of carefully selected bacteria and enzymes, the formation of NH₃, H₂S and CH₄ is significantly reduced.
• Safer environment: Reduction of harmful gases contributes to a healthier and safer environment for both humans and animals.
• Fewer pests: Improved manure quality reduces problems with flies, mice and rats.

Composition:

IF Micro-Zyme consists of a combination of enzymes that promote the initial breakdown of organic matter. These enzymes are followed by carefully selected bacteria that compete with anaerobic bacteria. This reduces the formation of H₂S, methane and ammonia and breaks down the organic matter into a pumpable mass. The Yucca shidigera extract in the formula helps break down organic matter, supports the action of the bacteria and promotes ammonia reduction by binding to NH₃.

Usage:

• Dosage: 25 grams of powder per cubic metre of manure.
• Preparation: dilute the powder in a ratio of 1 to 5 with lukewarm water and let the mixture stand for 30 minutes before using.

Application: Repeat treatment weekly for optimal results.

Conclusion: IF Micro-Zyme offers an innovative and effective solution to the challenges in manure management. By reducing crusting, hazardous gases and pests, the product contributes to safer and more efficient farming practices. The use of IF Micro-Zyme leads not only to an improvement in manure quality, but also to a positive impact on the environment and overall farm safety.

After treatment:

After using IF Micro-Zyme, you will notice, due to reduced crusting, that the manure is workable. As a result, you can opt to control the fly larvae present with Maggots*.

The water-soluble granulate Maggots* is a growth regulator for controlling fly larvae. It can be sprinkled directly on manure, or diluted with water or sprayed. Maggots is suitable for use in a wide range of situations, mainly in dairy and calf farms, sow and fattening pig barns, poultry barns, sheep and goat barns, horse barns, rubbish dumps and waste containers.
