This is the
most effective point of addition. Many farms
have eliminated most of their odor by
feeding between ˝ to 2% BRZ™ of the total
ration on a weight basis. A 14 x 40 or 40
mesh product should be fed in mash, or a 40
mesh or 60 cycle should be used to pelletize
supplements.
A thin layer should be applied to the
bedding area or to the area that receives
the manure each time it is cleaned out.
The compost or dry stacked manure should
be “top dressed” with a thin layer of BRZ™
after it is turned or after the addition of
a new layer of manure is added.
Alternatively, a layer of BRZ™ should be
placed in the area of the barn receiving the
fresh manure. Composting is an important
process that (1) converts organically bound
nitrogen that is not plant accessible to
ammonium hydroxide, ammonium nitrate, and
ammonia that are plant accessible, (2) kills
the pathogens, (3) reduces or eliminates the
odor, (4) dries the manure, (5) reduces the
flies, and (6) kills weed seeds. Composting
should be conducted “in vessel” to prevent
groundwater and air pollution. Wash down
operations are no longer environmentally
acceptable due to groundwater pollution of
nitrates, nitrites, and hydrogen sulfide.
The introduction of BRZ™ with the
manure, compost, or lagoon water to the
soil has the added benefit of increasing
water retention, holding the nitrogen
and other micro-nutrients in the growth
zone, providing a medium for the future
capture of nitrogen, increasing the ion
exchange capacity of the soil, provides
potassium and calcium, and enhancing
infiltration and aeration of the soil.
BRZ™ is a value added soil amendment
that should be advertised
Fixing the nitrogen and various heavy
metals reduces the pollution of the
groundwater.
Increasing legislation is mandating
the control of odor. The most effective
way to control odor is to feed BRZ™ in
quantities of ˝% to 2% of the total
ration. The BRZ™ exchanges the ammonium
cation in the alimentary track before it
gases to ammonia and creates odor.
BRZ™ is a flow agent and anti-caking
agent in urea and other oil feed
ingredients.
BRZ™ allows the operation of pellet
mills at higher temperatures that
reduces friction and increases
production. The higher temperature
results in better gelatinization and a
more durable pellet.
BRZ™ increases and fixes the nitrogen
in the manure and compost so that it is
plant accessible but not water-soluble.
Many of the fields that have been
repeatedly fertilized with cow manure
now have phosphate problems. This is a
result of not enough nitrogen to balance
the plant uptake of the phosphate. The
problem can be solved by increasing the
nitrogen content of the manure, compost,
or lagoon water.
