Keeping Your Livestock Safe And Clean

By Lianne Derocco


Owning or raising any type of farm with livestock, whether it is horses, cattle, pigs or other animals, can be a fun and satisfying way of life. You can be closer to nature and often enjoy a good profit at the same time. However, this way of life does indeed come with a lot of responsibility and you must find the best ways to care for these animals. Here are a few safe and natural products that can make life much easier for those with animals on a farm.

Animals, like people, must have fresh and clean water to drink and this is definitely something to which all farmers must attend. If they are situated in a hygienic place or area then your livestock will surely produce an amazing quality of meat. It is not recommended to clean out of stock tanks every few days. They are simply too large to dump out and clean every few days, but the water quickly can become dirty. To save time and keep water clean, the Healthy Ponds Stock Tank is an excellent product to consider using.

With this product, the water in your tank can be kept fresh for 30 days and each submersible dispenser can treat up to 500 gallons daily, using a mix of safe bacteria that eat away the debris and other substances that often build up in standing water. This product is non toxic and has been approved by veterinarians. You can be rest assured that your farm animals will be safe, and the product also will not harm humans. This product can also help reduce or even remove those unwanted odors that often occur in stock tanks.

Handing animal waste is never easy. This is a common issue on many farm and you need to find ways to make sure that waste does not become a problem. Using natural products can be the best option because these are completely safe for animals and people. This is the easiest way to correct problems or stop them from occurring. You should always deal with waste issues immediately before they cause large problems, and there are several natural products that can make agricultural waste management much easier.

If you want to prevent sludge from building up on the bottom of you waste pit or lagoon then you may want to use either Lagoon Agra Sphere or Agra Sphere. This natural product uses only safe bacteria and also prevents excessive odors and top-level crusting by liquefying waste. This is very easy to use and you don't have to do any mixing just toss the biodegradable spheres into your waste system and it immediately goes to work.

When crusting is already present, you can speed up the liquefying process by using Activator Plus or, if you have a waste lagoon, use Lagoon Activator. This product is sprinkled over the waste pit or lagoon and begins to eat away at the crust. For a particularly hard crust, a few treatments might be required. However, after the crust is gone, you can simply treat with Agra Sphere and problems should be kept at bay.
