Product Information

For control of ammonia and odour, and the liquefaction of solids and sludge build-up in slurry channels, holding tanks and lagoons.

Product Description

A dry product containing specially selected natural organisms fortified with enzyme catalysts. These organisms have been isolated from the environment as being particularly effective in liquefying and de-odourising the organic materials found in slurry channels, holding tanks and lagoons.

Performance

Epizym Pigs positively digests and liquefies all forms of organic pig waste and solids from slurry channels to holding tank and lagoons and in the process will significantly reduce levels of ammonia and odour concentration in the system. By the same process it also liquefies crusts that may form on the surface of holding tanks and lagoons, and thus reduces the need to employ expensive mechanically driven agitation equipment prior to pumping. Case histories will show the benefit to farmers in controlling and improving: -

1. Atmosphere within the building
2. Pig performance
3. Local environment
4. In time taken to clean and empty slurry channels

Benefits

• Easy to use one-step application procedure.
• Controlled microbiological and enzymatic activity will convert odour-forming liquid and solid waste into a soluble end product with low odour levels.
• Will reduce sludge in slurry channels and reduce crusting on top of holding tanks and fundamentally differs from conventional odour suppressing chemicals by enzymatically changing the molecular structure of odour causing organic amine compounds, including indole and skatole - two of the most potent and penetrating odours found in animal wastes. Cleaner overall house atmosphere helps improve pig health and performance.
• Is non-corrosive to metal, concrete or plastic components of waste holding tanks, lagoons and slurry spreading systems.

Cost Effective

• Better environment helping to improve pig health and food conversion ratios.
• Reduces time taken to empty slurry channels and lagoons and thus allows other important tasks to be performed.
• Better working conditions for staff in the pig house.
• Improves local community relations through lower odours and ammonia.
• Less leaf contamination when spreading onto crop.
• Improves available nutrients to crops.
