Deodorize Pig Manure With Fedgrozyme
The neighbors of Hipolito “Jun” F. Saoyao of Linapaw; Tubao, La Union used to complain about the obnoxious odor of the manure of his pigs. But he was helpless as he did not know vet how to eliminate the foul odor, and was convinced that it was inevitable in swine production.
In a seminar on livestock production and management, however, this 54-year-old farmer, municipal councilor and chairman of the Agriculture Committee of the Tubao Sangguniang Bayan has learned from Dr. Jovita Datum, a livestock expert and head of the Ilocos Integrated Agriculture Research Center, that the offensive odor of swine manure could be eliminated by adding an enzyme-based solution called Fedgrozyme to the feeds.
Fedgrozyme is developed by Berlin trained industrial microbiologist Dr. Ronaldo A. Sumaoang, who is also the president and CEO of the Novatech Group of Companies. It is manufactured by Novatech Vet and Biologicals, which also produces other veterinary and biological products.
According to Dr. Sumaoang, Fedgrozyme eliminates the odor of the manure by lessening the ammonia emitted by the manure. Likewise, the protein that is still present in the manure continues to be degraded by Fedgrozyme microbial activity. Fedgrozyme is actually a stabilized source of potent enzyme of microbial origin for animal use, Dr. Sumaoang adds. It contains immobilized biological microorganisms, organic acids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids, phospholipids, and UGF.
Jun said that during the seminar Dr. Datum also introduced the use of Biosec as a very effective method of turning animal waste into organic fertilizer.
Most of the participants of the seminar, however, could hardly believe Dr. Datum’s pronouncements, according to Jun. Yet, he wanted to deodorize the manure of his swine so his neighbors would no longer say something against him and at the same time, make money by selling organic fertilizer from the decomposed pig’s manure. Hence, hc bought 5 kg of Fedgrozyme and 1 kg of Biosec.
He was eager to tell his wife about Fedgrozyme and Biosec, but when she had heard of it, she had concluded that these would just be an additional expense.
After three days his wife “was already singing a different tune” for the obnoxious odor of the manure was gone. And when they started to sell the first bag of organic fertilizer from the decomposed pig manure, his wife became more enthusiastic and started to gather the manure herself whenever he had other matters to attend to.
“That is how effective Fedgrozyme is in eliminating the foul odor of the manure,” Jun said.
For swine pre-starters and starters, he mixes 1.5 kg of Fedgrozyme per ton of feeds. For older pigs, he mixes only 1 kg of Fedgrozyme per ton of feeds.
He has observed that pigs given feeds mixed with Fedgrozyme grow faster and are heavier. The pig’s feed conversion ratio (FCR) has improved by 8 percent to 10 percent, and average daily gain has increased by 4.5 percent. Litter size has also improved. He adds that the market vendor who buys his fatteners has told him that their back fat is not thick, and this is the kind of pork that consumers prefer.
Marianito Garinggo, a police officer in Tubao proper, is also very pleased with the effects of Fedgrozyme.
His piggery is practically a stone’s throw away from the municipal building so he was told to do something about the foul odor of his farm or else he would be forced to close it. Worse, he was throwing his pigs’ manure to the irrigation system, making the environmental condition more unpleasant for the municipal employees and his neighbors.
When the municipal sanitary inspector heard of the improved environmental condition in Jun’s farm, he told Marianito to consult Jun. And right away, Jun sold Marianito 1 kg of Fedgrozyme and, presto, his problem was solved. After a week, he bought 1 kg again, and in two months he had already bought 4 kg.
Fedgrozyme is used also in the farm of Tubao Mayor Noemi Balloquing. Her caretaker, Jovito Bualan, has started to use it last July and much has improved since then. For one thing, he said, the foul odor is gone. And for another, the pigs become healthier unlike in the past when they were afflicted by diseases. Mayor Balloquing is, of course, very satisfied with the performance of her pigs.
So try using Fedgrozyme, and you’ll find that your neighbors have nothing anymore to say against you.
