Ammonia and other gases are generated in animal husbandry due to poor activity of the micro-organisms present in the manure. Kopros® rebalances and reactivates these natural microorganism populations so that the correct mineralization and humification activities can take place, and the elements are fixed in the manure/mud instead of being released into the air as gases. The main reason for ammonia emissions is due in particular to a high concentration of animals on small areas, and that the manure is also stored in a very concentrated way. In this situation, elements such as nitrogen, sulfur and other elements become toxic to the microorganisms, which eliminate them by producing gas, which has an impact on the well-being of the animals and their productivity.

The Environmental Benefits

  • A 65-95% reduction in ammonia emissions from animal husbandry, with a direct impact on human and animal health.
  • A reduction of up to 50% of fertilizer consumption for soil fertilization.
  • A significant reduction in veterinary costs

The Financial Benefits

  • A 40% reduction in the volume of manure and therefore a reduction in the cost of moving it.
  • Creation of a virtuous cycle: Animal health - better productivity - better soil fertilization
