Using EM - Effective Microorganisms with large pets and poultry

USES FOR LARGER PETS AND THEIR PENS/PADDOCKS

Horses

In the stable
The EM Naturally Active system can be used in the stable. This system promotes fermentation of the manure and suppresses the smell of ammonia.

Spread 25-50 grams of clay minerals daily per m² over the layer of straw in the stable.
Spread 100 ml EM-Active per m² over the layer of straw in the stable at least once a week.

In the paddock

Once a year, spread 1000 kg seashell lime per ha over the paddock surface.
Once a year, spread 1000 kg clay minerals per ha over the paddock.
Once a year and divided up into at least five times, spread a minimum of 100 litres EM-Active per ha over the paddock. This is the equivalent of 5 litres EM and A+.

Feeding with Bokashi
In order to increase the natural resistance of horses, a daily amount of 50 gram Bokashi bran can be fed as a supplement. Bokashi is a fermented organic material that is rich in probiotics.

Ensiling with EM-Silage
Use EM-Silage for ensiling horse feed. This will prevent the formation of heat and fungi. In addition it will ensure a very good fermentation. See the Agriculture section of this website for more information.

Drinking water
Use EM ceramic products in the drinking-water trough or container. Use a proportion of 1 kilo ceramics to 1,000 parts water in the container.
Alternatively fit an EM water improver.

Goats and sheep

Treatment of paddocks

Once a year, spread an amount of 1000 kg seashell lime per ha over the paddock surface.
Once a year, spread 1000 kg clay minerals per ha over the paddock.
Once a year and divided up into at least five times, spread a minimum of 100 litres EM-Active per ha over the paddock. This is the equivalent of 5 litres EM and A+.

Silage treatment
Use EM-Silage to ensile grass. This prevents the formation of heat and fungi. In addition it ensures a very good fermentation process. See the Agriculture section for more information on EM Silage

Fertilizer treatment
Spread EM-Active over the goat or sheep manure once a week. Use 1 litre for every 10 animals.

Drinking water
Use EM ceramic products in the drinking-water trough or container. Use a proportion of 1 ceramic to 1000 parts water in the container.

Poultry

EM is excellent for ensuring healthy poultry. Not only does it help suppress disease, but it can rapidly eliminate and control the ammonia produced by chicken droppings. There is some 'here say' evidence that poultry farms in the Far East that used EM-A on a regular basis were unaffected by the avian flu virus, while others near by succumbed.

Treatment of chicken sheds and runs
In order to ensure a healthy climate with no unpleasant odours, spread 0.5 kg Bokashi per m² over the surface of the shed. Regularly spray EM-Active in order to counteract unpleasant smells and to efficiently convert the manure into fertiliser.

Drinking water
Use EM ceramic products in the drinking-water trough or container. Use a proportion of 1 kilo ceramics to 1000 parts water in the container.

Pigeons

EM is a new and healthy method of achieving top condition and maintaining it for pigeons. Improve their environment by making up a rich fertliser from their droppings with EM-Active and Edasil clay minerals.

Use
Dilute EM-Active to a solution of 10 ml to 1 litre water. Add this solution to the pigeon drinking water.
Dilute 10 ml to 1 litre water and spray this in the loft. Spread 15 tot 25 grams of Edasil clay minerals per m² over the surface of the loft.
