Epizym slurry additive reduces levels of ammonia, odour concentration and flies in pig houses.
Supplied in powder form in 1 kilo containers, it contains a mixture of bacteria. The powder is rehydrated with water and applied to the liquid fraction of the slurry store. An odour assessment by Silsoe showed gross odour emissions are reduced by 55 percent per kilo pig liveweight. Indole, skatole and organic amines, three of the most potent and offensive odours in slurry, are reduced to odourless compounds by the bacteria.
Epizym works on solids (where odours are formed and stored), produces a more liquid and homogenous mix and removes crusts. This reduces the time and costs of mechanical mixing with fewer blockages and ensures a more even application of nutrients when spreading. Crust removal also means flies have nowhere to land to lay their eggs and so fly populations are virtually eliminated.
