Effective Microbes Equine Starter Kit

Actiferm is a liquid mixture of active micro-organisms (bacteria, fungi and yeasts), that promote the organic conversion (fermentation) of waste materials.

You can innoculate the stable, spray on the pasture or on the manure heap.

Due to the principle of competitive exclusion and dominance, the good bacteria out-compete the pathogenic micro-organisms. The organic compounds in the manure, bedding and grass clippings are converted through a maturing fermentative process into easily absorbable nutrients. During this transformation they enter into competition with rotting bacteria, germs and ammonia vapours.

The chances of infections picked up by the horses from their environment is diminshed and the treated manure is a valuable product for the soil.

In the stable Actiferm creates a natural balance and a high biodversity. A decline in infections is noticeable which translates into a higher return because the vitality and immune resistance of the horse increases.

In addition, Actiferm also provides an easy solution for the processing of manure. Sprayed over the bedding material facilitates the conversion of the organic material (waste), in the horse-box. The production of ammonia is drastically reduced, thus preventing any rotting process. Respiratory problems are less frequent. There are fewer flies attracted to the stable and it has been scientifically proven that Actiferm disrupts the reproduction cycle of the fly.

Application

In the Stable Yard

1 litre Actiferm / m² / year.

In practice: 2 to 3 times per week 1.5 litres solution (0.5 litres Actiferm to 10 litres of water) atomised in the stable (9m2 ).

With a 12m² barn we atomise 2 litres of solution. Solution: 5% Actiferm (5 litres Actiferm /100 litres of water)

On Paddock Manure/topped grass

20 litre Actiferm / ha / meadow treatment diluted at 500 to 1000 liters of water.

3 to 5 treatments annually.

Advantages

In the Stable and Yard

• Dominance of a constructive microflora
• Fermentation of bedding in stable instead of rotting
• Conservation of energy and nutrients in waste materials
• Disease suppressive action
• Increases the overall condition and health of your horse
• Performance enhancing

In the paddock

• Conversion of organic matter into humus, increasing sustainability
• Promotes the microbial balance in the soil
• Improving the chemical, physical and biological properties of the soil

THE BIOSTABLE

Stable management is an important part of the cycle concept that Agriton promotes. With a well-constructed biostable you save on bedding material and labour. The risk of infection is lower than in traditional housing and the fermented manure contains up to twice the amount of soil nutrition compared with composted manure.

How to start a biostable?

First make a choice between “mucking-out“ or “deep bedding“. The start-up is similar, but the steps are different afterwards. The mucked out material goes to ferment on the dungheap whereas the deep bedding in the barn ferments as the layers are increased.

1. Spray Actiferm (ratio 5L / 100L of water) on the box stall floor.

2. Start with a layer of bedding (straw, hemp, flax straw). Avoid using woody material as this is difficult to ferment.

3. Apply a thin sprinkled layer (250g / m²) of Vulkamin (and clay minerals) on top of the bedding layer to absorb moisture.

4. Apply a layer of bedding material (ORGANIC wheat straw, elephant grass).

5. Spray Actiferm (ratio 5L / 100L of water) on the bedding material.

6. Depending on the chosen system, the balls of manure will either be removed daily or left on the bedding. In both cases fresh daily new bedding is applied. The bedding material is also sprinkled with Vulkamin twice a week (and clay minerals), to treat the wetter areas. ==> STABLE 9m²: 500g once / stable of 12m²: 750g at a time.

7. Spray three times per week with diluted Actiferm (5L / 100L) on the bedding material. ==> STABLE 9m²: dividing one litre of solution at a time. Stable of 12m²: 1.5 litre of solution.

On an annual basis it is a total of 1L / m² box stall.

How to use Actiferm to better breakdown manure

Horses defecate at fixed locations and barely eat afterwards. We see developing rich ‘toilet zones and poor grazing areas’ on the horse pastures. If we want to prevent such a phenomenon, the meadows should be mowed regularly and raked. This allows for the clippings and manure to be evenly distributed over the pasture and develop a nice even grass sod.

Spray Actiferm during or after mowing or raking to enhance the conversion of manure and grass clippings. The soil benefits quickly from the nutrition provided, which benefits the growth of the turf.

The Actiferm also acts as a soil activator increasing the ‘life’ in the soil whereby the root system of the grass is stronger and denser hence less weeds.
