The Product
Pit Remedy is a concentrated bacterial product made up of 46 different strains of bacteria engineered specifically for manure decomposition. The ecological diversity of Pit Remedy is what makes it so effective. Unlike Pit Remedy, many bacterial products on the market today provide a formulation of between four and ten different strains of bacteria. Unfortunately, bacterial products with a limited number of organisms seldom digest waste and reduce odors on a consistent basis between different engineering systems and environments.
Each organism in Pit Remedy falls into four different categories of bacteria: anaerobic, facultative, microaerophilic, or aerobic. Each stratum is responsible for completing specific tasks within the waste or nutrient confinement system. Without one type of bacteria, another type would not be able to function. Pit Remedy is therefore in essence what microbiologists call a bacterial consortium. A bacterial consortium is a community of organisms that live together in a certain harmony and are synergistic in their relationships with each other.
Aerobic bacteria in non-aerated manure containment systems occupy only a small volume, usually the top 3-6 inches, of the manure column. They however are responsible for providing a certain degree of odor control in manure systems. Without anaerobic bacteria in the bottom of the sludge providing ammonia, hydrogen sulfide, and volatile fatty acids, the aerobic bacteria would not have a constant food source.
Therefore, it is easy to see why Pit Remedy is so effective. Our product provides bacteria to decompose manure as quickly and efficiently as possible while, at the same time, providing the necessary bacteria to reduce odorous emissions to a minimum. We have proven our technology in an overwhelming majority of manure storage systems available in agriculture today.
