Products That Are Perfect For Your Livestock

By Lianne Derocco


It is very satisfying and fun to own or raise any type of farm with livestock, such as hogs or cattle. You can enjoy having fresh foods at any time and be closer to nature, and you can even turn your farm into a profitable business. Farming is hard work, and the health of your animals in extremely important. Keeping everything clean and safe is highly crucial and here are some handy products that can make animal care easier. These products also are chemical-free, natural choices for agricultural waste management.

You should look at the water you provide for your animals and make sure that these are always as fresh as possible. The more hygienically your animals are raised, the happier and healthier they will be, which actually improves the quality of meat. Clean water is essential, but cleaning stock tanks every few days is not practical. This will take a lot of your time because they are simply too large to dump out, clean and then fill up constantly. You can help make the water cleaning process easier by trying out products such as the Healthy Ponds Stock Tank Cleaner.

This cleaner is a dispenser that holds a packet of beneficial strains of bacteria. Each bacteria pack can keep up to 500 gallons of water fresh for 30 days. For larger tanks, simply use an extra dispenser. You cannot over treat the water, so don't worry if you have a bit more stock tank cleaner than you need. The product is veterinarian approved and safe for livestock, wildlife and people. Because the water in stock tanks is stagnant, there are often pungent odors. The Healthy Ponds Stock Tank Cleaner not only keeps water clean, it reduces or eliminates these odors as well.

Handling animal waste is indeed a very daunting task. All farmers need to find agricultural waste solutions that are effective and free from chemicals. Using natural agricultural waste products is the very best option that can help you keep your animals safe and also the people around you that work on the farm. This proved to be the easiest way to correct these problems or stop them from occurring. It is good to deal with problem as soon as possible to avoid any unwanted troubles in the future.

Using a manure treatment such as Agra Sphere or Lagoon Agra Sphere has many advantages and it can help prevent sludge from forming. You can prevent top-level crusting which leads to flies and excessive odors and it can also help liquefy waste. You can use them directly since mixing is not needed and you just toss the product on top of your waste pit or lagoon. It is 100% biodegradable, and completely natural, preventing the aforementioned issues as well as deep pit foaming.

Activator Plus or Lagoon Activator can also be used to deal with top crusts that already have formed and are causing problems. This can stop the excessive accumulations of organic solids and waste. You can use this together with the Lagoon Agra Sphere or Agra Sphere. Once Activator Plus has eliminated the tough, top crust, you simply regularly use Agra Sphere to keep these problems from occurring in the future.
