Humid and dirty grounds and fermenting litters, are responsible for mastitis, lameness and diarrhoea in calves. Maintaining hygiene and treating bedding with BioSuper can prevent these diseases.
What are the benefits to the producer?
Neutralises humidity - It absorbs 70% of its water weight: 700g of water for 1kg of BioSuper.
Neutralises germs - Dramatically reduces bacteria, which can induce breeding diseases and ill health.
Neutralises ammonia - Decreases the amount of ammonia by chemical reaction, and aids heat detection for cows.
Makes labour easier - It can be applied in the presence of cows and calves, ewes and lambs, and speeds up the turnaround of each lambing pen.
