Animal Husbandry

EM Benefits Animal Health

The health of the livestock directly reflects the health of their environment. In modern animal husbandry, managing odors, controlling pathogens, and maintaining animal wellness are constant challenges that impact everything from morale to the bottom line.

By introducing a consortium of beneficial, fermentative microbes, EM works to stabilize the ecosystem of your barn, feed, and manure.
EM Technology fosters a low-stress, healthy environment that leads directly to improved animal welfare, better feed conversion, and safer, better-quality production.

The Benefits of EM in " Animal Husbandry "

Improving the Livestock Environment

Managing the living conditions of livestock is a top priority for farmers. Odor control, pathogen reduction, and maintaining animal health are essential for productivity and welfare. Manure and leftover feed often rot due to harmful microbes, creating foul odors and encouraging the growth of disease-causing bacteria. EM (Effective Microorganisms) addresses these issues at the source, helping to maintain a cleaner, healthier barn environment.
Odor and Pathogen Control

Odors in barns are primarily caused by volatile fatty acids and ammonia in manure. EM breaks down these compounds, greatly reducing unpleasant smells. Regular spraying of EM establishes a population of beneficial fermentative microbes, which suppress spoilage organisms. It also helps control dangerous pathogens such as Salmonella and E. coli, protecting both animals and humans.
Manure and Wastewater Management
When added to animal feed or drinking water, EM improves not only the gut microbiome of livestock but also the microbial balance of the entire barn. Manure treated with EM ferments more easily, produces less odor, and attracts fewer flies. Applying EM to urine tanks and slurry pits reduces odors and allows waste to be safely reused as fertilizer. The fermented manure becomes a high quality, nurient-rich input, free of antibiotic residues, supporting chemical-free sustainable agriculture.

Enhancing Livestock Health

In barns where harmful microbes dominate, animals are under constant stress, leading to poor digestion and weaker immune systems. By contrast, barns managed with EM maintain better air quality, suppress odors and pests, and create a healthier environment overall. Adding EM Bokashi to feed or water promotes stronger immunity, better growth, and lower mortality rates.
Growth Promotion and Reduced Mortality
Animals given EM develop a healthier gut microbiome, which improves feed efficiency. Lactic acid bacteria and other beneficial metabolites in EM prevent pathogens from attaching to the intestinal lining while stimulating immune function. As a result, livestock grow more robustly without relying on antibiotics, and disease risk is significantly reduced.

Improving Meat and Egg Quality

Healthier animals raised in low-stress, EM-managed environments produce better-quality food. Meat from EM farms has been reported to have less odor, improved firmness, better juiciness, and higher concentrations of compounds responsible for desirable flavor and aroma. Since antibiotics are not used, the meat is also safer and more trustworthy for consumers.

In poultry farming, EM has been shown to improve egg quality and laying performance in hens. When added to feed and drinking water, EM enhances the intestinal environment, boosts immunity, and improves nutrient absorption. As a result, chickens lay more eggs of higher quality, even while consuming less feed.
