Odour and Emissions Control
EvoAktiv: After Using BioAktiv 54% Lower Ammonia Emissions Recorded
USA 2017: EvoAktiv, the BioAktiv distributor of USA, reported that, after giving 200 g of BioAktiv Salis per day for 48 days to a piglet nursery in a 8,500-sow breeder farm, ammonia concentration in that nursery was once 54% lower than that of another nursery not given Salis. Methane emissions were 61% lower. In addition, unsellable pigs were 0.35% fewer, survival rate was 2.25% higher, FCR was 0.20 better and the farmer earned USD 0.13 more per pig. [Report]
“However when BioAktiv was applied the owner of the site said the leachate sump became alive and no odour was released…”
Australia 2014: Luke Zambelli of Zambelli Environmental, who started his consultancy service company in 2007, explained why he recommends BioAktiv products. More in his report.
Brazil: BioAktiv Halves Ammonia Emissions in a Dairy Goat Farm
Brazil 2014: BioAktiv Brasil conducted a study in a 400 m2 shed housing 120 dairy goats. They took the initial ammonia concentration in the shed before and after treating the shed floor with 1 kg of BioAktiv for Liquid Manure and feeding the goats 1.5 g/animal/week of BioAktiv Animal Feed. The ammonia concentration in the shed rose and peaked at about 15 ppm 28 days after the BioAktiv treatments. Then it dropped by a half which was slightly lower than the initial value.

Brazil: BioAktiv Cuts Ammonia Emission in a Dairy Cow Farm
Brazil 2014: BioAktiv Brasil carried out a study on two open-air sheds in a dairy cow farm. One shed, housing 75 cows, had two 140 m3 manure tanks and the other, housing 29 heifers, had a 100 m3 manure tank. They took ammonia concentration measurements before and after treating the three manure tanks with 1 kg BioAktiv for Liquid Manure and started feeding the cattle 1.5 g/animal/day of BioAktiv Animal Feed. Thereafter the ammonia concentration of the cow shed dropped continuously until to about 60% lower at the end of the study. There was no similar trend in the heifer shed due probably to strong airflow affected the ammonia concentration measurements. [Summary] [Report]
Brazil: A Trial at Languiru Coop Farm
Brazil 2014: BioAktiv Brasil conducted a month-long trial at a pig farm of Languiru Cooperative, a major producer of meat, poultry and dairy products in Brazil . They applied BioAktiv for Liquid Manure (sold as EcoAktiv) to a house for 800 piglets and used a house for fattening pigs as control. The BioAktiv-treated piglet house had much lower ammonia concentration than the untreated fattening pig house. [Summary] [Report]
Czech Republic: VÚZT Studies on NH4 Reduction by BioAktiv for Animal Feed
Písek 2012: VÚZT conducted a study on using BioAktiv for Animal Feed to reduce ammonia emissions using two identical pig houses in Písek. They fed fattening pigs of one of the houses with the BioAktiv product, while those of the other house received no BioAktiv product. The study showed that a BioAktiv-treated pig produced about 1.16 kg of ammonia emissions in a year, while an untreated pig produced 1.67 kg per year. [Summary] [Report 1] [Report 2]
Russia: A Testimonial from the Russian Academy of Agricultural Sciences
Moscow 2012: Pedigree Poultry Farm of the academy used its Salmet plant to process poultry droppings into fertiliser. They testified that adding BioAktiv for Liquid Manure (50 g/tonne) into poultry droppings significantly accelerated the decomposition process; significantly reduced ammonia and other foul gas emissions (by 80-90%), resolving the complaints from the neighbourhood; reduced the number of flies; and improved the quality of fertiliser produced.

Russia: A Trial at Atemarskaya Poultry Facility
Russia 2011: The Russian BioAktiv distributor, OOO BioAktiv, in collaboration with chief agronomist IF Glukhov and agronomist ON Naumkin, conducted a trial at Atemarskaya Poultry Facility. They reported on 30 June 2011 that the ammonia and hydrogen sulphide concentration of the heap of poultry manure treated with BioAktiv for Liquid Manure (30 g/tonne) were 3 g/m3 and 0.01 g/m3 respectively and that of the untreated heap were 40 g/m3 and 1 g/m3.

Germany: A Study by Saxony-Anhalt State Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture
Germany 2003: Saxony-Anhalt State Institute for Agriculture and Horticulture conducted a study on two group of 80 fattening pigs housed in identical sheds. The test group received BioAktiv feed additive while the control group did not. At the end of the study, the ammonia concentration in the test shed was more than 50% lower than that in the control shed. In addition, pigs fed BioAktiv had 7 fewer days in pen and 6% higher ADG with statistical significant. [Summary] [Report]
Germany: A Study by VTI Thuringian Process Engineering Institute
Germany 2003: VTI Thuringian Process Engineering Institute for Environment and Energy e.V. conducted a test on samples of liquid manure treated and untreated by BioAktiv and left to biodegrade with and without a bacterial culture. The results showed that, without the bacteria culture, the dry matter and H2S contents of BioAktiv-treated sample were a half and 20% those of untreated sample. [Summary] [Report]
Netherlands: BioAktiv Cuts Ammonia Emissions by 45% in a Pig Farm
Netherlands 1998: The Agricultural Research Department, Institute for Environmental and Agritechnics in the Netherlands conducted a study on two identical partitions from a same house each housing 60 pigs. In the test partition, they fed the pigs and treated the floor with BioAktiv Powder. There were no such treatments in the other partition. The measurements showed that, after treating with BioAktiv, the ammonia concentration in the test partition had reduced by 45%. [Summary] [Report]
Germany: BioAktiv Halves Ammonia and Methane in 24 Hours
Germany 1994: Germany Saxon State Institute for Agriculture did a study involving a house holding 550 fattening pigs. They measured various gas concentrations with 27 gas-detecting sensors before and after treating the house floor with 2 g/animal of BioAktiv Powder. The study revealed that 24 and 48 hours after the treatment the ammonia concentration in the air was 50% and 16% lower respectively. Nitrous oxide was 40% and 21%, carbon dioxide was 47% and 33% and methane was 50% and 27% lower respectively. [Summary] [Report 1] [Report 2]
