EM•1® Case Study: Sheep & Lamb

Effective Microorganisms (EM®) have been successfully increasing sheep and lamb health worldwide for decades. The beneficial microorganisms can be used in the drinking water, feed and even sprayed on manure to create nutrient-rich compost to sell or use on agricultural crops. Spraying EM® inside the barns will improve the microbial environment of the whole barn, including the intestinal bacteria flora of the livestock, and maintain the health of the entire operation.

TeraGanix offers probiotic products that use the Original EM-1® Microbial Inoculant to create a cost effective liquid ready for use without activation. For sheep and lamb, products include LG300, Apc500 and Ag1000.

TO INCREASE GUT HEALTH

LG300™ Direct Fed Microbial

LG300™ is a liquid probiotic solution for direct fed use in sheep drinking water and feed. LG300 can increase the gut health of sheep and lamb and decrease stress and disease. This leads to a decreased need for antibiotics and other chemical usage.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR FEED:

Add 1 oz (30 mL) per 7.5 lbs ration at every feeding. Bulk mixing; 1 gal (3.8 L) per 1000 lbs.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL:

spray pens or heavy manure areas with 1:100 in water solution weekly to control odor.

BOTTLE FEEDING: Add .25 tsp (3 mL) per gallon of milk or formula at time of feeding. (Do not premix and store).

TO TREAT COMPOST OR GROW FEED

Ag1000 ® Agricultural Concentrate

Ag1000® is a liquid probiotic solution for growing crops and for composting manures. Using Ag1000 in the process allows for avoiding the lengthy maturing process which can add an addition 90-120 days before land application. Growers love this because they plant the same day they spread the compost without worrying about burning the plants.

Ag1000 can also be used as a soil and foliar inoculant to add beneficial microorganisms to your crops. If you grow your own feed for cattle, Ag1000 can increase your yields and increase the health of your soil.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR COMPOSTING:

  • Inoculate fresh manure with 2 gallons Ag1000® Organic per ton of manure.
  • Follow standard composting methods of turning and heat, turning roughly 18-20 times with a turner (not a bucket loader) over the course of 40-45 days.
  • Compost will be biologically mature and stable, ready for planting at 45 days, no curing is needed.
  • Spread compost on fields at rate of 5 tons per acre yearly to replace most, or all, of fertilizer needs. You may also sell as compost.
