BRZ™ has two methods of holding cations such as ammonium, and plant nutrients. The first method is by absorption in channel ways. BRZ™ will hold up to 55% of its weight in water. The second method is by "cation exchange" (measured as cation exchange capacity or "CEC"). By this method, BRZ™ holds ammonium and other plant nutrients in the crystal structure where they are not water-soluble but are plant-accessible on an as-needed time-release basis. Mineral: Consists of a volcanic mineral called "clinoptilolite” (see spec sheet) Size: 3/8” x ¼”. 4 x 8, 4 x 14, 14 x 40, 40 x 100, -100, -40 mesh GRAS: Classified as “GRAS” (generally regarded as safe) under21 CFR Part 582.2729 Color: Pale green when dry, dark green when wet Moisture: Holds up to 55% of its weight in water Surface Area: High surface area, 24.9 square meters/gram Weight: 55 pounds per cubic foot CEC: High cation exchange capacity (CEC) of 150 to 180 meq/1000gram Hydrophilic: Potassium: 3.47% Calcium: 1.6% Sodium: <0.5% (no water soluble sodium)
· ANIMAL FEED A -40 and -14X40 mesh products are fed to animals and poultry. It has the following advantages; (1) Increased NPN for ruminants, (2) odor control, (3) reduced mortality, (4) improved feed conversion and production, (5) better phosphate utilization, (6) flow agent/anti caking agent for food stuffs, (7) reduced need for antibiotics, (8) buffer in the rumen, (9) reduced acidosis, (10) increased pellet durability for pellet feeds. · CARRIER FOR PESTICIDES AND HERBICIDES BRZ™ in a minus 40 or 100 mesh size or even finer is used as a carrier for pesticides and herbicides due to its porosity. · ODOR CONTROL See BRZ™ Animal Odor Control. · SOIL AMENDMENT See BRZ™ Soil Amendment. · FERTILIZER BRZ™ can be ammoniated naturally with manure for the qualification of "organic grown" or artificially with ammonium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, urea, or other nitrogen sources. It contains approximately 3.5% potassium. Phosphate can also be added. · WATER POLLUTION CONTROL BRZ™ absorbs ammonium and ammonia gas to reduce the conversion of the nitrogen to nitrates and nitrites that cause water pollution. · PELLET BINDING The use of up to 2 % zeolite allows the pellet mill to be run at higher temperatures. This reduces friction, increases production by up to 35%, and increases gelatinization to make a more durable pellet. · FLOW AGENT BRZ™ helps dry materials and enhances the flow ability of feeds from bins, chutes, and trucks. · SPILL CLEAN See BRZ™ Spill Clean. |
