Digest 3 + 3 is a highly concentrated formulation of aerobic and anaerobic bacteria. It decomposes, liquefies and deodorizes all types of animal waste in liquid storage systems.
Digest 3 + 3 is safe for humans, animals and plant life and does not corrode metals, concrete, fiberglass or plastic.
Digest 3 + 3 when added to the manure system, starts to multiply and act on the odor causing compounds directly. As a result of this action the BOD and COD of the manure are lowered drastically and the odors reduced not only during storage, but also when the manure is spread in the fields.
Digest 3 + 3 when activated and applied to the manure, will mass-produce at an enormous rate, thriving on the particles of manure. These particles remain in suspension. This results in uniform slurry and there is no separation of solids from liquids. The uniform consistency of the slurry reduces the need to agitate the manure at the time of hauling.
Digest 3 + 3 is packaged in 25 lb pails and will treat 150,000 to 200,000 gallon of manure.
If you have a crust like this on your pit...
...let us help you get a foam like this.
The foam above is 1" thick and is from good bacteria activity. If you have more foam then that, it is caused by a bad bacteria and will continue to increase and reduce pit capacity. It also increases the amount of gases in your barn.
Two ways to reduce this foam:
Add DiGest 3 + 3 and get a good bacteria back in your pit. This will replace the bad bacteria over time and get your foam under controll. Second, if you are running out of capacity in your pit for ventilation, we have a New product DiGest Foam Eliminator that will reduce the foam in a day or two. It is a quick fix and will control the foam for a couple of months.
DiGest Foam Eliminator
Having foaming problems?
Pits foaming through the slats Can’t fill your tanks full when pumping
DiGest Foam Eliminator will eliminate foam to increase pit capacity and allow proper ventilation.
It keeps the manure from foaming when added before foaming begins. When agitated into the manure prior to pumping, you get less foam and more manure in your tank.
Mix with water and dump in pit through slats.
5 gallons per pail/treats 100,000 – 150,000 gallons
GASES OF CONCERN TO LIVESTOCK AND POULTRY PRODUCERS
Ammonia is released from decomposing manure and urine. It can slow growth rate and reduce feed conversion efficiency. If also hinders the lungs’ normal ability to remove or destroy airborne disease organisms that are inhaled, increasing the chances of respiratory infection. The recommended maximum exposure limit to ammonia is 20 ppm for pigs, poultry and calves, and 7 to 10 ppm for humans.
Hydrogen sulfide, also known as pit gas and recognized by its characteristic rotten egg smell, can be deadly to pigs and humans exposed to a concentration as low as 20 ppm. While day-to-day concentrations of hydrogen sulfide are generally safe, dangerous concentrations can sometimes be measured during agitation of manure during pit pump-out procedures. The recommended maximum exposure limit to hydrogen sulfide is 10 ppm for pigs, poultry and calves, and 5 ppm for humans.
Carbon monoxide is a colorless, odorless gas given off by gas-fired supplemental heaters that are not burning fuel efficiently. It can cause still births in baby pigs and slow growth rate in nursery pigs. Because of the susceptibility of unborn babies to carbon monoxide breathed by the mother, pregnant women are encouraged to work only in heated facilities that are free of carbon monoxide gas. The recommended maximum exposure limit to carbon monoxide is 50 ppm for pigs, poultry, calves and humans.
Carbon dioxide, while not considered dangerous at concentrations normally measured in enclosed animal facilities, can be used as a rough indication of overall air quality and effectiveness of a ventilation system. Concentrations of carbon dioxide that exceed 5000 ppm may indicate that too little fresh air is being supplied to the animals.
