Case Studies Wheat Trials grown with EM-1® Microbial soil conditioner

Effective Microorganisms (EM) have been successfully increasing poultry health worldwide for decades. The beneficial microorganisms can be used in the drinking water, feed and even sprayed on the litter to prevent ammonia and pathogen production. Recent research with the USDA and TeraGanix has even found that Salmonella can be completely eliminated with the use of Effective Microorganisms in broiler houses.

TeraGanix offers probiotic products that use the Original EM-1 Microbial Inoculant to create a cost effective liquid ready for use without activation. Products include Lt1000 for litter and Ps300 for drinking water and feed. See below for application methods and benefits.

TO DECREASE ODOR AND PATHOGENS

Lt1000™ Poultry Litter Treatment

Lt1000™ is a liquid probiotic solution for poultry litter and fogging systems. Spraying Lt1000 will eliminate odor almost instantly and has also been shown to eliminated Salmonella in studies with the USDA (see study here). Lt1000 can be sprayed on all surfaces (floors, walls, ceiling) and is safe to use around animals.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR BARNS, SHEDS, LOAFING AREA:

Spray Lt1000 on all surfaces. The bedding area and all manure should be sprayed.

Applications should be done at least 3 times per week. For a guideline, apply about 1 quart of Lt1000 diluted with 50 parts water per square yard of the barn/house.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR MISTING OR FOGGING:

If your facility has a misting/fogging system in place for cooling, Lt1000 can be added into the water at a ratio of 1:1000; 1 part Lt1000 per 1,000 gallons of water.For best results, run the solution on a timer that cycles for 10 seconds every hour when the building is open (summer) and 10 seconds every 30 minutes when the building is closed (winter).Prior to running the Lt1000, flush the lines to clean out any gunk as nozzles may plug.

TO INCREASE GUT HEALTH

Ps300™ Direct-Fed Microbial Probiotic

Ps300™ is a liquid probiotic solution for direct fed use in poultry drinking water and feeds. Available in conventional and organic, Ps300 increases bird health by focusing on gut health and reducing the use of antibiotics.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR DRINKING WATER:

Add to drinking water continuously at a 1:2000 ratio. In a 1:128 medicator, this will equal 1 quart (946 mL) of Ps300 to 5 gallons of water.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FEED:

Add 1oz (30mL) per 7.5 lbs ration at every feeding. Bulk mixing: 1 gal (3.8 L) per 1000 lbs.
