    If off site animal waste odors are affecting neighbors, farm operators can consider the use of AGRI-KAT.

    AGRI-KAT is a bio-activator that can reduce odors by up to 80 percent, lower nitrogen and sulfide levels, and lower the total volume of manure by as much as 30 percent, says the company. This would mean healthier air quality for farm workers, animals, and neighbors.

    Proven effective in field studies, AGRI-KAT is cost effective and easy to use, says the company. It’s sold in liquid form and is applied using the company’s custom designed equipment.

According to the manufacturer, AGRI-KAT will result in:

  • Better health of animals and lower mortality rates.AGRI-KAT reduces ammonia and hydrogen sulfide, which results in healthier animals and lower veterinary bills.
  • Reduced flies and other vectors: Within days of application, the surface crust of the manure liquefies, thereby preventing flies and other vectors from breeding.
  • Lower energy costs: Because lower ammonia and hydrogen sulfide levels allow for less venting of containment buildings, farm operations save on energy and in the winter spend less on wasted heat.
