Genesis BioChar can do a great job of reducing ammonia and other odors in barns, stables and poultry houses.There are other benefits too:
Biochar is very effective at capturing nitrogen (N) that is otherwise lost to ammonia vitalization..
Ammonia creates unpleasant odors in the barn, and harms the respiratory health of creatures who breath it. As ammonia volatilizes, the nitrogen it contains is lost to the atmosphere. If retained, this N could have fertilized fields. As N is lost, phosphorus (P) is concentrated in the manure. When manure is applied at the appropriate rate for N, too much P is added to soil where it can leach into groundwater and contribute to environmental problems.
Along with odor and ammonia reduction, Genesis Biochar leads to fewer flies and pathogens, for improved animal health.
Genesis BioChar can be added to manure after it is cleaned from barns, but by then, it is often too late to maintain the N:P balance because too much N has already been lost. The most efficient process is to use Genesis Biochar directly in the barn where it can capture nitrogen from urine and manure as it is generated.
