Reducing Crusting, Foaming, & Odors with Manure Additives
By: Dr. Ladlie, ProfitProAg Founder and Mike Strait, Manure Equipment Sales
This past year we have brought a few ProfitProAG manure additive products on board. Although we’ve only tested two products so far, we’ve been impressed with the results. This season we have treated around 12 million gallons of manure with Manure Master FoamAway. This product does a great job knocking down foam. More recently, we’ve been testing Manure Mechanical Defoamer. Our initial thoughts: it’s working better than we anticipated! One of our custom applicators said he’s been able to haul 1,500 more gallons on his 7300’s after treatment! Although we’ve not tested the Manure Master Plus or the Pit Accelerator, we are planning on trying them out in a few buildings after pump-out. More

This Season in History: The “Spreading” of Service
It’s no surprise Iowa ranks number one in the nation for pork production (and the by-product that comes with it). It’s estimated that Iowa livestock produces nearly 10 billion gallons of manure each year! Just as animal health and feed efficiency have increased over time, the way we view, and handle manure has as well. From hauling manure to the back 40 in the past to today’s maximizing manure’s nutrient value on a variable rate basis, the industry has dramatically improved. With this change, the way we service hog producers has adapted as well. More
