Microbial Programs for Animal Agriculture
Water-line inoculation shifts every trough, drinker, and manure-contact surface from putrefactive to fermentative microbial leadership — reducing ammonia, odor, and fly pressure facility-wide.
One Injection Point. Facility-Wide Results.
ASAM-C and ASAM-A are injected at the pump house or water-line header using a standard dosatron or proportional injector. From there, the fermentative microbial culture distributes through every water line in the facility — troughs, nipple drinkers, water bowls — continuously inoculating the environment.
The same microbial principles that drive soil and compost programs apply in animal systems: when fermentative microbes lead, putrefactive activity declines. Ammonia production drops. Fly populations follow the manure quality. Litter, bedding, and manure become fermentation substrates rather than rot piles.
Dairy
Dairy Operations
Pump-house injection at 1:640 continuously treats troughs, milking equipment water lines, and all manure-contact surfaces. Significant odor and fly reduction typically observed within days.
Beef & Swine
Livestock Operations
Scales from small cow-calf operations to large feedlots. Inject at 1:640 at the pump house or add directly to waterers at 1:500 per head. Suitable for all ruminant and swine operations.
Poultry
Poultry Operations
Poultry-specific dilution rates — 1:1500 water line, 1:5000 adults, 1:10000 chicks. Direct litter spray at 1:640 further reduces ammonia and fly pressure between flocks.
Quick Reference: Dilution Rates
| Application | Method | Dilution |
|---|---|---|
| Dairy & Livestock | Pump house injection | 1:640 |
| Cattle / Swine per head | Direct to waterer | 1:500 |
| Poultry water line | Pump house injection | 1:1500 |
| Adult poultry per bird | Direct to waterer | 1:5000 |
| Chicks | Direct to waterer | 1:10000 |
| Litter / bedding spray | Direct spray | 1:640 |
Do not use with chlorinated water — chlorine deactivates the microbial culture. Flush lines before starting if chlorine is present.
