SOP® LAGOON is a powdered additive for the treatment of the liquid manure of dairy cows, to fluidize it and to mitigate the release of Ammonia, odors and GHGs. It is used at 2 grams per cow (0.07 oz per cow), per week, making it very practical and with simple logistics. It reduces the formation and emission of odors, ammonia and GHGs from the manure stored, as well as that spread on the fields. The application of the product can reduce the emissions of Methane by up to -80%, of CO2 by up to -75%, Nitrous Oxide up to -100% and Ammonia up to -100%. It helps the farmers with the management of liquid manure, dissolving any crusts or sediment, keeping it fluid and reducing/eliminating the need for agitation. It also improves the manure fertilizing capacity, displacing part of the synthetic nitrogen fertilization resulting in cost savings for the farmers

The Environmental Benefits

  • Reduces from 50 to 100% of the time (and diesel consumption) required to agitate liquid manure
  • Compared to untreated manure up to -75% CO2, -80% CH4
  • Precursor of the PM2.5 reduced by up to 90%
  • No hyperaccumulation of nitrogen compounds in the liquid manure, limiting the impact on soil and groundwater, aligned with regenerative agricultural practices

The Financial Benefits

  • Saves up to 16 € per head per year for farmers in terms of agitation costs and synthetic fertilization
  • SOP LAGOON is profitable for a farmer already from the first year of use, as it does not require equipment compared to traditional manure management
