A better shed starts in the bedding
Ammonia smell and flies can make housing unpleasant for livestock and the people working around them. Actiferm introduces beneficial microbes to the bedding and manure. Applied regularly during housing, it helps manage odours and fly nuisance as part of a more comfortable shed environment. Agriton recommends weekly applications onto bedding during the housing period. www.agritonfarm.co.uk
What can Actiferm help with?
Ammonia odours: helps reduce the sharp smell associated with manure and bedding.
Nutrient retention: 95-97% of nitrogen and carbon is retained from the bedding you already have (££)
Fly nuisance: helps manage flies around organic material in the shed.
A fresher shed: makes bedding management part of a regular housing routine.
Farmyard manure: can be used to ferment used bedding and manure as Farm Bokashi after clean-out.
Manure management: Bokashi muck can be spread as early as 8 weeks after being covered
From shed to field
Actiferm’s job does not have to end when you clear the shed. Use it as part of Agriton’s Farm Bokashi process: treat suitable organic material, build the heap and cover it for fermentation before returning it to the land.
How do I use it?
Apply Actiferm to bedding once a week during the housing period. 2L of Actiferm to every 1 ton of dry bedding material.
With fertiliser costs volatile and regulatory pressure increasing, keeping nutrients where you paid for them is critical. Actiferm supports on-farm nutrient cycling and reduces avoidable losses.
Repeat Use: Yes – ongoing biological management product.
