Location A has four 960 head pull plug, finishing buildings. The 24" pits had six inches plus of manure that would not flow or drain. One gallon of Pit Remedy was applied to treated buildings each month for the three-month test.

Results: "Tests back were very positive on the reduction of solids. Pits with additive showed significant reduction of solids compared to non-treated pits. In addition, treated pits drained better."

Location B has two thousand-head pull plug buildings. There was a feed spill below each feeder in one building. We were testing to see how Pit Remedy would decompose the feed.

Location C has two thousand-head pull plug buildings. This location had approximately 10" of semi-dry manure in the bottom of the pits that had sat unused for six to seven months. At the time Pit Remedy was added, liquid had been on the dried manure for approximately five months with no success in draining. We used the equivalent of one gallon per month in each building.

Results: "We found a good reduction in manure build-up in the treated pits compared to the control pits. When pits were emptied the slurry moved quicker from the treated pits. I feel that even though we were able to show good improvement, the solids to liquid ratio was too high and we would have had better results by using more recharge water for proper product activation."

 

"Our general view of Pit Remedy is very positive. In each unit Pit Remedy significantly reduced the solids when compared to the units that were not treated."
