Reduce Waste In Your Lagoon

By Lianne Derocco


When most people hear someone say lagoon, they imagine a beach and crystal clear ocean water. However, if you are a hog or dairy farmer, you might instead think about manure. A lagoon is also a livestock man-made waste containment and treatment basin.

However, if these lagoons are not maintained properly, it can pose serious health risks for both the animals as well as the nearby human population. Fortunately there are safe, effective and natural ways to maintain these waste systems. These products can greatly reduce the toxic environmental impact of raising livestock.

The AgraSphereLGT is a chemical-free product that is very easy to use. The spheres will stimulate waste solid liquefaction, as well as reducing the flies and the odors associated with livestock lagoons. This product also can increase the value of the nutrients in the manure, which makes the manure more suitable as a fertilizer.

AgraSphere is a biodegradable sphere that contains a mix of bacteria that eat away at the waste. The spheres are easy to use, you just toss them into the lagoon and they begin to work within minutes. Each sphere lasts for 30 days and will treat 400,000 gallons of lagoon waste. All you need to do is calculate the amount of gallons in your lagoon and toss in enough spheres to accommodate the size. You need not mix the product into the lagoon; it will simply go to work by itself.

When crusting is excessive and a bit out of control, you need to find a product that will quickly reduce the crusting and activate the liquefaction product prior to beginning a monthly course of AgraSphereLGT treatment. Activator Plus LGT works with the same types of bacteria and is ideal for treatment when a lagoon is overloaded with this harmful sludge and crust.

Veterinarians have approved both of these products and they will not harm your livestock or people or any other animal. There are no chemicals in these mixes so you never have to worry about polluting the environment is any way. As livestock farms do create quite a bit of pollution, finding natural ways to limit this pollution should always be a priority for farmers.
