Description
Nitroslurry
A bacteriological-enzymatic product that accelerates the breakdown of organic material in slurry and manure.
KEY BENEFITS
- Reduces crust formation
- Accelerates the breakdown of organic material
- Clears blockages in pipes and equipment
- Reduces ammonium levels and nitrogen loss
- Improved performance noticed because the amount of ammonia-N in the air of sheds is reduced
ACTIVE INGREDIENTS
A concentrate of nature’s waste treatment agents;
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 oC
Bacillus licheniformis: 30-55 oC
Bacillus amyloliquefaciens: 15-45oC
Bacillus megaterium: 5-4o 0C
Bacillus pumilus: 10-40 oC
All strains grow in the PH range 5.0-9.0
All strains produce amylase, protease and lipease
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 oC in a bucket and leave to rest for 20-30 minutes
- For large storage systems stir in 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 slated floors add to water and pour through the slats
NB! THE TANK SHOULD BE RE-SEEDED WITH NITROSLURRY EACH TIME SLURRY IS REMOVED
