Livestock operations are often faced with the problem of dealing with odor coming from urine and fecal
matter. High concentrations of urine produce ammonia gas, which causes respiratory stress not only for the workers, but also for the animals living under such conditions, affecting production. The trick to increasing the general health of the operation and public opinion is to reduce, or eliminate, the ammonia.
Beneficial microbes naturally break up ammonia. As ammonia is an oxidative substance, it is putrefactive and supports the growth of pathogenic microbes. EM has a strong antioxidant effect on manure. This antioxidant effect will resist putrefaction, preventing noxious odors. In addition, the makeup of EM has also been shown to promote the growth of other beneficial microbes therefore suppressing the growth of pathogenic bacteria.
Using EM not only helps control odor, a regular maintenance plan with it also leads to a healthier operation that is more productive.
