At present some 90% of the biochar used in Europe goes into animal farming - ranching. Different to its application to fields, farmers will notice its effects within a few days. Whether used in feeding, litter or in slurry treatment, farmers will quickly notice less smell. When used (check legality in your location) as a feed supplement, feed intake is improved, the incidence of diarrhea rapidly decreases, allergies disappear, and the animals become calmer. In Germany, researchers conducted a controlled experiment in a dairy that was experiencing a number of common health problems: reduced performance, movement disorder, fertility disorders, inflammation of the urinary bladder, viscous salivas, and diarrhea. Animals were fed different combinations of charcoal, sauerkraut juice or humic acids over periods of 4 to 6 weeks. Experimenters found that oral application of charcoal (from 200 to 400 g/day), sauerkraut juice and humic acids influenced the antibody levels to C. botulinum, indicating reduced gastrointestinal neurotoxin burden. They found that when the feed supplements were ended, antibody levels increased, indicating that regular feeding of charcoal and other supplements had a tonic effect on the heath of the cattle.
