MicroZyme R product image

Make the most of your slurry.

MicroZyme R is a ruminant-specific biological product for use in the reduction of solids, odor control and nitrogen retention in stored liquid slurry. Containing a unique blend of bacterial strains and enzymes specifically selected for their capability to break down fiber, starch, pectins, fats and protein residues within ruminant slurry over a wide range of temperatures.

MicroZyme R protects the nutrient value and makes slurry easier to manage.

The Challenge

In any dairy farming operation the production of milk is inevitably accompanied by the production of animal waste most of which ends up in the slurry pit. The storage and management of this waste is an important part of the farming operation not just for environmental and legislation reasons. This material is a good source of fertiliser because of its high content of nitrogen, phosphorous and potassium.

The Solution

Decreases solids

  • Less time stirring, fewer blockages
  • Quicker pump outs, less diesel used
  • Less cost to spread
  • Easier injecting or drilling
  • Reduction in surface run off risk
  • Reduces crust formation

Storage benefits

  • Reducing odour and ammonia emissions
  • Less separation after mixing and a more consistent slurry
  • Lower harmful emissions that can affect livestock and operators
  • Less sediment, faster and easier emptying

Nutrient saving

  • Helps retain nutrient value, reducing the need for bought in fertilisers
  • Accelerates the degration of organic waste material
  • Improves plant uptake, allowing slurry to be applied to multi-cut systems
  • Provides consistent nutritive value from start to finish

Reduces harmful emissions, BOD and COD

  • Reduces ammonia levels
  • Considerably lowers levels of coliforms and E.coli in slurry. Biological Oxygen Demand (BOD) and Chemical Oxygen Demand (COD) are lower than untreated slurry
