Animal Husbandry

Animal health is a key factor in optimal production.

It is important to look at all aspects when considering animal husbandry. Ensuring hygienic conditions creates a healthy environment for the animals and ensures best productivity. Beneficial bacteria help us optimally use the nutrient cycle. Making the most of the available nutrients can lower variable costs such as vet bills and medication and reduce mineral fertiliser use. 

Microbes can play a part in a wide range of animal husbandry benefits from hygiene, improved digestive health, increased production and even odour control. Effective microbes have shown results for a wide range of animals including cattle, pigs, poultry, sheep, goats and even our pets. 

Using microbes as a nutrition supplement can optimally support the gastrointestinal flora. Effects of optimised digestion include more stable health as well as higher fertility and performance rates. Secondary effects include stable environment with few flies as well as higher fertilisation values in the manure.

Benefits:

  • Reduced odours, especially ammonia

  • High quality yields

  • Increased immune system and less pathogenic bacteria which reduces the need for regular medicines and antibiotics

  • Enhanced appetite

  • Improved coat condition

  • Reduction in harmful insects such as flies, ticks and fleas

  • Reduced stress on livestock

  • Increased productivity

  • Improved quality of animal products

  • Increased nutrient availability in manure from animals supplemented with microbes

Applications:

  • Added as a feed supplement or to silage

  • Mixed into drinking water

  • Sprayed in barns and animal bedding

  • Applied to animal waste and manure to reduce odour and flies
