There’s nothing more peaceful than rolling farm and
ranch land, except when manure and naturally occurring
ammonia fill the air with a sour, rancid smell. Controlling
odors from confined feed lots and ranches and protecting
livestock from the bacteria present in manure that
can cause foot rot is the key reason behind the development
of Pure Ag.
Agricultural experts throughout North America agree:
if you can speed the drying of manure, you can reduce
odors, which also reduces complaints from nearby
ranches, neighbors and communities, an increasing
problem as rural areas continue to gain population.
Chemical treatments and removal options such as
incineration, adsorption, absorption, ozone treatments
and UV light treatments have been extensively tested
and have proven cost-prohibitive for most livestock
operations. In addition, the negative effects of
toxic chemical sprays have often been found to far
outweigh the benefits of odor reduction.
By contrast, Pure Ag utilizes naturally occurring
Colloids and sophisticated colloidal chemistry to
create an organic, biodegradable, and USDA-approved
treatment for effectively reducing agricultural
odors.
The Sweet Smell of Pure Ag
Pure Ag is applied to pasture land or feed lots
using a sprayer. No protective equipment is required.
As a natural product, Pure Ag contains no toxic
chemicals. It won’t harm people, animals or plants,
and it produces a pleasant, sweet, clean scent as
it works to break down manure and aid in the decomposition
of organic waste.
When applied to fresh manure, Pure Ag begins drying
immediately, speeding up the natural microbial process
of breaking down the manure. Studies at Purdue and
Michigan State Universities have shown that the
quicker manure dries, the sooner odor is reduced.
Pure Ag is effective at achieving that goal.
The Science of Pure Ag
Pure Ag penetrates manure and soils, using a reduction-oxidation
reaction to degrade the targeted organic compounds.
The liquid product emulsifies and degrades the compounds,
reducing odor and eliminating bacteria that can
cause foot rot in livestock.
The homogenous blend is amber in color, is 99.935%
water soluble, and contains no arsenic, borate,
chlorine, or enzymes.
Pure Ag is the environmentally responsible way
to treat nuisance agricultural odors, and because
it’s safe to plants and animals, it can be used
effectively wherever manure is used as a compost,
on backyard gardens or agricultural crops, and even
in agricultural housing.
