- NitroSlurry accelerates the breakdown of animal waste and plant fibre in the slurry
- Slows down crust building and reduces pipe blockages
- Retains increased levels of nitrogen compared to untreated
- Reduces odour
Fertiliser nitrogen loss in untreated slurry is up to double that of NitroSlurry treated slurry
Caution – Slurry can omit poisonous gases | Always take extreme precaution when in the vicinity of slurry
NitroSlurry – KEY BENEFITS
- Reduces crust formation
- Accelerates the breakdown of organic material
- Clears blockages in pipes and equipment
- Considerably reduces bad smells
- Reduces ammonium levels and nitrogen loss
- Improved performance noticed because the amount of ammonia-N in the air of sheds is reduced.
NitroSlurry – ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
- Anaerobic bacteria- The necessary micro organisms for the digestion of organic matter in the absence of air
- Aerobic bacteria – The necessary micro organisms for the digestion of organic matter in the presence of air
A concentrate of nature’s waste treatment agents:
- Powerful enzyme mixture
- Amylases – to degrade undigested carbohydrates
- Proteases – to degrade undigested proteins
- Lipases – to degrade undigested lipids
- Cellulases – to degrade plant fibres
- Also contains hemicellulase, pentosanase and betaglucanase
- Activators – protect and enhance enzyme activity in the slurry and ensure even distribution and fast action after application
Selected bacteria to degrade organic waste fast
- Bacillus subtilis
- Bacillus licheniformis
- Bacillus amyloliquefaciens
- Bacillus megaterium
- Bacillus pumilus
- Temperature ranges for growth:
- Bacillus subtilis: 15-45°C
- Bacillus licheniformis: 30-55°C
- Bacillus amyloliquefaciens: 15-45°C
- Bacillus megaterium: 5-40°C
- Bacillus pumilus: 10-40°C
- All strains grow in the pH range 5.0-9.0
- All strains produce amylase, protease and lipase
- All strains assimilate ammonia-N either by production of glutamate dehydrogenase or by glutamine synthetase and glutamate synthetase
NitroSlurry – FEATURES
- Free flowing powder
- Neutral colour and smell
- Packed in 100g quantities in alufoil sachets
NitroSlurry – DOSAGE AND USAGE
- NitroSlurry is usually applied when the slurry tank has been emptied
- One 100gram sachet will treat the slurry of 20 cows, 30 beef cattle or 40 weanlings for a four month winter
- Dissolve in warm water not exceeding 40 °C in a bucket and leave to rest for 20-30 minutes
- For large storage systems stir and add as much water as possible to dilute and spread or mix NitroSlurry over the tank or store surfaces
- Apply via a reception tank of the main tank where possible
- For lagoons spread as evenly as possible and agitate if possible.
- For tanks under slatted floors add to water and pour through the slats.
NB! The tank should be re-seeded with NitroSlurry each time slurry is removed
