What are the benefits to producers?
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.
