Erik Valk, a dairy farmer in Broekland (near Raalte). “I’ve had positive experiences with the product over the last six seasons in the stalls.The homogenous slurry, which can be mixed more easily, is very important when pumping it across to my slurry basin. On top of that, I’ve been able to reduce the amount of nitrogen [...]
Users positive about additive An increasing number of cattle farmers use AgriMestMix and Compost-O as additives in manure with the aim of improving the effect of the slurry and/or improving the composting of solid manure. Users are positive but 'you have to believe in it’. Although the heavens do not look very reliable, a large combine harvester [...]
AgriMestMix can contribute to the suppression of mould, which ensures proper growth of the good bacteria and suppression of bad micro-organisms like moulds that produce mycotoxin.
Research effects of AgriMest with gas production in manure:
Introduction. This study was carried out within the scope of a graduation assignment in the study programme Animal and Dairy Farming at the Van Hall institute in Leeuwarden, the Netherlands. (2005). This study was carried out on assignment from Rinagro BV in Piaam, the Netherlands. Results of the test. The manure treated with AgriMestMix contains 0.3kg/ton [...]
Last Thursday (27 August), at the invitation of the study association in Noordbroek (Groningen) and surrounding areas, a demonstration was given at Mr Vermue's farm to show what the effects of improving manure quality are. Enthusiastic interest, increased nutritional value of the grass and a fresher stable climate were only a few results achieved with better quality [...]
The trial field showed a remarkable difference in the development between the three different treatments of the plants.
Climate change According to the KNMI (the Dutch meteorological institute) the growing season has increased by 12 days in the past 40 years. At the same time, the number of months with precipitation of more than 60 mm has increased significantly. In addition, winters are less cold and summers are becoming warmer. This means that grass [...]
Exploratory research at Wageningen University in the emissions of greenhouse gas emissions from solid manure worked with Agri-mestgives rise to further research.
