Slurry processing and barn cleaning

Slurry has two key benefits.

It contains a variety of essential nutrients for plants and, at the same time, it provides organic substances that ensure an active soil life and good soil fertility in the long term. It increases the humus content of the soil. This allows plants to absorb important nutrients and water more easily and also reduces the need for mineral fertilisers.

When the feed supplement that we have developed (Fermented Herb Extract or FHE) is fed to the animals, it helps to ensure that the slurry is more free-flowing and has a reduced odour.

Usefully, the slurry can either be treated directly with FHE or MK Soil (soil additive), or indirectly by adding the products regularly to the animals’ feed.

Benefits of Fermented Herb Extract (FHE) for slurry processing

  • Rotting is suppressed
  • The odour and the flies are reduced
  • The slurry is more free-flowing
  • The formation of “sink and swim layers” is reduced
  • Nitrogen is retained in the slurry
  • Soil organisms are no longer harmed when the slurry is spread
  • Nitrogen is not washed out and emitted into the atmosphere
  • No risk to groundwater

 

Application: Mix FHE into the animals’ feed

If bubbles form in the slurry, this is a sign that it has been well fermented.

Cleaning barns with probiotic cleaners

Cleaning the barn is an important preventative measure in animal husbandry. Regular cleaning reduces bacteria levels and the risk of disease.

Using a probiotic cleaner from Multikraft populates surfaces in the barn with regenerative microorganisms. They prevent the occurrence of rotting, unpleasant odours and large numbers of flies. They also improve hygiene levels. This also optimises the indoor climate in the barn.

 

Benefits of eMC ® barn cleaner at a glance

  • Removes unwanted smells and cleans surfaces
  • Can be used in a pressure washer
  • Surfaces are populated with probiotic microorganisms
  • Only a small quantity is needed, so it is highly economical

What effects does slurry processing have on soil quality?

The agricultural fertilisers produced in livestock rearing, such as slurry and manure, are high-quality natural materials in the agricultural circular economy. Because of the high price of mineral fertilisers over recent years, slurry and manure have become more valuable to farmers. This makes it all the more important to ensure that they are of high quality.

 

What effects does slurry processing have on emissions and the quality of forage?


By managing and processing the fertiliser correctly using FHE and charcoal or rock dust, you can avoid the reduction in quality caused by rotting and emissions of ammonia and nitrous oxide. By applying only 1 litre of FHE per cubic metre of solid manure, you can reduce ammonia emissions by more than 40 per cent. This means that up to 1.1 kg of nitrogen is retained in each tonne of fertiliser and is not emitted into the atmosphere.

If rotting develops in the slurry or manure, together with the accompanying microbiology, hydrogen sulphide, hydrogen peroxide and other metabolites will be produced, which inhibit the soil life. In addition, bacteria such as Clostridium and other pathogens will spread to surfaces and could have a negative effect on the quality of the forage or arable crops.

The probiotic microorganisms in FHE suppress rotting and significantly reduce fertiliser loss, emissions and odours. This creates the ideal conditions for a high-quality agricultural fertiliser in a simple and natural way, and supports soil life and plant growth.
