Flowing and easy to handle manure

Using manure as fertilizer for crops is a certain way of recycling. By using the slurry produced by cattle and letting aerobic bacteria convert it into nitrate (nitrification), the slurry may be used as valuable fertilizer. The nitrates serve as food to the plants, for example, silage corn, which can again be refed to the cattle.

Penergetic g activates microorganisms and therefore supports the aerobic process leading to better nitrification as well as the reduction of crust and sludge. Furthermore, by stimulating the aerobic process penergetic g prevents the slurry from being overrun by anaerobic bacteria which are responsible for the creation of unwanted gases such as ammonia, nitrogen , hydrogen sulfide, nitrous oxide and methane. This can be noticed by the reduction of unpleasant odors.

Testimonial from Switzerland: Success with penergetic g in the rotting of long straw

In primary anaerobic ponds, sediments or sludge form on the bottom of the pond, whilst the liquid parts remain on top. Minerals (which easily bind to the particles of the sediment) sink to the bottom and are therefore found in higher quantity in the sludge.

This difference in nutritional value is important as to the nutritional content and even distribution of nutrients when spreading the liquid manure. If the slurry pit is not fully emptied from time to time or properly agitated, the liquid manure is regularly pumped out whilst the sludge and contained phosphorus and potassium remain on the bottom.

Sometimes the crusts or sludge in manure pits get as heavy as they get congested with grass/weeds growing out of the surface crust.

Heavy crusts and sludge in the lagoons or pits make it difficult to pump lagoon water or liquid manure. Manure pits in dairy barns are often problematic to be pumped out completely minimizing storage capacity due to remaining material after emptying the pits.

Penergetic g helps to break down crusts and sludge and therefore, the handling of manure becomes easier as the liquid manure becomes more homogenous and flowable. This not only reduces the time for manure handling but also decreases the wear and tear of the pumping equipment.

Prior to the treatment with penergetic g, there was a heavy crust on the lagoon surface. 

4 weeks after the initial treatment, there was evidence of the crust breaking down, the manure was bubbling. Additional 1 kg of penergetic g was applied in alleys per week. 

After seven weeks of treatment, the former crust largely dissolved. 

The following week the lagoon was partially pumped out. The operator said that the manure required minimal agitation and was much easier to pump.

Penergetic g promotes aerobic bacteria and the homogeneity of the slurry or liquid manure, which makes it more flowable and easier to handle. Floating layers, sludge and clogged solid parts have been noticeably reduced, thus considerably shortening the stirring time and lowering the cost typically associated with the extra work for cleaning out build-ups. An added bonus when using penergetic g can be a reduction in fly infestations caused by the reduction of crusting. Furthermore, odors are reduced to a natural level, also resulting in an improved barn climate.
