Pig fattening farms close to residential areas always get complaints about their “fragrant” business from residents who scrunch up their noses. Indeed, there is usually a significant ammonia concentration in the air around them and these unpleasant smells will travel farthest with adverse wind conditions. Kurt Stoller and his family from Aach near Romanshorn in Switzerland work a PAL farm, which stands for “particularly animal friendly livestock housing”. On a PAL-farm the animals have more space than on a conventional farm and are housed on littered floors. In spite of large groups of piglets (mostly more than 80 animals in the individual pens) there are hardly any fights among the animals. They are mainly fed concentrated liquid pig feed, but they also receive 20 tons of hay per annum. [Read more...]

Edgar Smith and his two brothers work a 300 ha farm in Comox on Vancouver Island (B.C.), Canada. It is very important to him that all work is carried out in an environmentally friendly way. For the extensive trial outlined here, the aim was to find out if Penergetic-g is able to bring about an odour reduction in the barn and if changes in nitrogen and ammonia levels would be noticeable. Another aim was to see if the slurry conversion would be accelerated. The trial was divided into two parts: slurry was to be examined on the one hand and solid manure on the other. This was gathered before the trial. The trial period was set at 16 weeks. [Read more...]

Penergetic at work naturally

Werner Saurer

Werner Saurer puts his heart and soul into farming. This becomes obvious when walking through his meadows and fields, when looking into his cattle shed and listening to what is important to him. However, he not only loves farming, he is also an expert in all aspects of it, including the business side. Like many others he noticed that the new type of suffers from a few big problems: the low rate of decomposition of the slurry itself, the problem of sedimentation layers forming, perhaps of greatest concern putrefaction and the formation of biogas in the containers which are usually closed tightly. Up to now, time- and cost-consuming mechanical agitation has been the only solution. However Werner Saurer has discovered another effective method – Penergetic-g slurry activator. [Read more...]

Over the years Penergetic has made a great name for itself in liquid manure treatment. What are the reasons for this?  Amplified resonances (information) stimulate biological cycles of micro-organisms in a directed fashion. The information of oxygen, for example, leads to slurry bacteria making the slurry homogeneous and fluid. The aerobic conversion reduces floating and sedimentation layers and leads to a dramatic reduction of odour emissions. When the slurry is spread there are less scorching of the plants and the effects of the slurry are optimised. All in all, this process could simply be called “bringing life into slurry” – as is so often the case, the simplest method is the best one. With a minimum of energy and other factors that could have a negative impact on the environment, the aerobic bacteria are stimulated. [Read more...]
