Additive

Solution Strengths, Weaknesses and Critical Indicators

Additives generally fall into two categories, feed additives and manure additives.

Feed additives are generally used to:

  • Increase production
  • Decrease greenhouse gas emissions
  • Manure additives are generally used to:

  • Disrupt the breakdown of manure
  • Reduce foaming
  • Physical and Biochemical Stabilization
  • Overall Summary

    Manuremagic provides an innovative, user-friendly, and eco-friendly solution to solids, foaming (according to a 2017 study by Iowa State University), odor, and other nuisance issues in pits and lagoons. Manure can be pumped more easily and at a cheaper cost due to increased flowability and consistency. Consequently, higher volumes of…

    CXI cultured microorganisms that thrived on waste as a food source and developed a microbial product now known as Waste Away®. Waste Away® had immediate application for improving natural decomposition of waste and minimizing odors emanating from waste lagoons, septic tanks, and the composting industry. With an increase emphasis on…

    Through accelerated digestion, Bactzyme will liquefy solid material so that it’s easier to agitate, pump and irrigate. Treated lagoons can be pumped lower with fewer plugging problems. Once transferred to cropland, because it’s already predigested, this manure will soak into the soil faster with less chance of caking on the…

    Pit-Boss® pit and lagoon treatment is an environmentally safe and pH-controlled product, not an enzyme or bacteria like most competitive products. Waste digestion involves three distinct bacteria types: aerobic bacteria, which break solids down into fatty and amino acids; anaerobic bacteria, which convert those acids into problematic gases such as…

    In the breakdown portion of the composting process, organic matter is broken down by microbial processes and their resulting heat. Nitrogen is converted from ammonia (NH3) to Nitrates (NO3). Inoculation with ACS N-Converter provides the specific microbes best suited to break down the organic matter efficiently and effectively, then convert…

    The LLMO product line includes six specialized bacterial formulations. While each of the six LLMO products is best at degrading certain types of wastes, a mixture of bacterial species is included in each product to provide optimal treatment efficiency. LLMO products can be used by pouring the product directly into…

    Aquafix’s knowledge of how to degrade complex wastes in lagoons has helped them to create innovative biological treatments for manure lagoons as well. Manure tends to consist of the material that is most resistant to biological breakdown, which is how it made it through the animal. This means complex catalysts,…
