Improve Slurry Consistency, Retain Nutrients And Reduce Crusting

Slurry Ease is a biological slurry treatment containing a combination of enzymes and beneficial bacteria.

It is designed to break down fibrous material, reduce crusting and produce a more consistent slurry that is easier to manage and spread and smells better!

How does it work?

The enzymes begin breaking the bonds that hold fibrous material together, providing an immediate effect. The bacteria then support continued breakdown during storage.

These bacteria use organic material as a carbon source and ammonia as a nitrogen source. This helps reduce the solid material that causes crusting and caking while converting ammonia into microbial protein.

Retain more nitrogen

By incorporating ammonia into microbial protein, Slurry Ease helps retain valuable nitrogen that might otherwise be lost through volatilisation during storage or spreading. Once the slurry is applied, this organically bound nitrogen provides a useful nutrient source for soil microbes.

This can support:

  • Improved nutrient utilisation
  • Healthier soil biology
  • Reduced risk of grass scorching
  • Better sward recovery and regrowth

Reduce crusting and blockages

The breakdown of fibrous material can make the slurry more uniform and easier to handle.

Regular use, combined with appropriate agitation, can help reduce:

  • Crusting and caking
  • Blocked pipes and spreading equipment
  • The time and effort required for mixing
  • Inconsistency during application

Less ammonia and odour

By reducing ammonia levels and helping to break down sulphurous compounds, Slurry Ease can also reduce odour in livestock buildings, outdoor stores and during spreading.

This may be particularly beneficial in buildings with underfloor slurry storage, where lower ammonia levels can contribute to a more pleasant housing environment.

Application rate

Use 250g of Slurry Ease per 200m³ or 44,000 gallons of total store capacity.

Apply according to the capacity of the slurry store rather than the amount of slurry currently present. Distribute the product as evenly as possible; agitation is ideal for dispersing the bacteria throughout the store.

For under-slat stores, mix Slurry Ease thoroughly with plenty of water and pour it through the slats. Where possible, apply it so that a pool forms over the crust.
