Epizym Pigs and Cattle formulas for slurry digestion were successfully trialled in the 1990s. 

Epizym Pigs Trial Data
Trials have shown that Epizym Pigs reduces emissions of ammonia and other odour compounds, improving the pig housing environment. The effect of Epizym was trialed on odour emissions in an intensive pig finishing unit.  Results showed:

• Odour emissions (units) decreased by 53%
• Odour emissions per kg pig liveweight decreased by 55%

Ammonia capture also boosts the organic fertiliser value of slurry as ammonia-N is more readily available to the crop. The effect of Epizym on total-N content and ammonia-N retention of pig slurry in intensive systems:

• Total Available Nitrogen increased by 33%
• Total Ammonia Nitrogen increased by 57%

Epizym Cattle Trial Data

Trials have shown that Epizym Cattle treatment reduces emissions of ammonia and other odour compounds. The higher N-retention improves the fertiliser value of the slurry, reducing chemical fertiliser requirements.

Ammonia capture also boosts the organic fertiliser value of slurry as ammonia-N is more readily available to the crop. A three-year study in the Netherlands estimates that Epizym treatment can increase crop utilisation of slurry nitrogen from 50% to 60% of the total-N content.
