BIO-ACTIVE-SYSTEM

A step on the way to poison-free farming

Institute for agriculture in Sachsen, department, cultivation and botany

Measuring of ammonia (NH3), nitrous oxide (N2O) carbon dioside (CO2) and methane(CH4) took place in the stable plant of the „Grethener Qualitätsfleisch (=quality meat) GmbH, (GQF), 04668 Grethen".

First measuring in the fattening pig plant of the „Grethener Qualitätsfleisch GmbH (GQF)“ were taken in order to start tests of reducing the hothouse effect of trace gas by developing excellent agricultural systems and in order of first use of the multi-gas-monitor, type 1802 developed by the firm Brühel & Kjaer.

The GQF has got 10 pigsties of the same size. Tech measuring took place in pigsty number 5, with 550 ready-to kill pigs. The measuring instrument was placed in the middle of the second driveway. The antenna was 0,3 m above the grated floor. The measuring took place for two hours as follows:

1. measuring: Before the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER (2g/animal )

2. measuring: 24 hours after the first use (the mixture of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER water had been sprayed over the surface of the grated floors).

3. measuring: 48 hours after the first use of the BIO-AKTIV-POWDER mixture.

They measured:

ammonia(NH3): limit of proof 0.15 ppm (0.11 mg/m3)
nitrous oxide (N2O): limit of proof 0.05 ppm (0.09 mg/m3)
carbon dioxide (CO2): limit of proof 3.00 ppm (5.40 mg/m3)
methane (CH4): limit of proof:0.25 ppm (0.16 mg/m3)

Testing results:

The measuring of ammonia, nitrous oxide, carbon dioxide and methane took place three times (20.09.94, 21.09.94, 22.09.911). Results as follows:

AMMONIA, which is not traceable in the atmosphere, was in the pigsty - before the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER - in a concentration of 13.60 and 25.70 ppm (average 20,81 ppm). 24 hours after the use of a BIO-AKTIV-POWDER mixture (2g/animal) the concentration of ammonia reduced to 6.20 and 13.90 ppm (average 10.3 ppm). 48 hours after the use of the BIO-ACTIVE-POWDER mixture the concentration of ammonia raised to 12.50 and 25.70 ppm (average 17.51 ppm ), but stayed below the first results (before the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER).

NITROUS OXIDE, which is in the atmosphere in a concentration of 0.4 ppm, showed in the pigsty before the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER, results between 1.29 - 2.35 ppm (average result: 1.86 ppm). 24 hours after the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER the content reduced to 0.88 - 1.39 ppm (average result: 1.12 ppm). After 48 hours the concentration of nitrous oxide raised to 1.11 - 2.16 ppm (average result 1.47 ppm). Even after 48 hours the BIO-AKTTV-POWDER showed a positive effect.

CARBON DIOXIDE is in the atmosphere in a concentration of 0.03%, that is 300 ppm. Before the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER the concentration of carbon dioxide was 1793 and 3573 ppm (average: 2683 ppm). After use of the powder the values reduced to 1220 and 1685 ppm (average: 1507). After 48 hours the results showed numbers between 1508-2568 ppm (average: 1916 ppm) that's a 10% higher concentration than in the normal atmosphere. With the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER the concentration was reduced to 50%.

METHANE, which is not traceable in the atmosphere with a gas-monitor, showed a concentration of 53.80 - 114.0 ppm (average 88.41 ppm) before the use of BlO-AKTIV-POWDER. 24 hours after the treatment with BIO-AKTIV-POWDER the concentration reduced to 35.8 - 58.9 ppm(average (44,46 ppm). 48 hours after the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER the results raised to 36.80 - 105.0 ppm (average 64.20 ppm) but they still were about 25 % below the concentration that was measured before the use of BIO-AKTIV-POWDER.

Valuation:

A first use of BIO-ACTIVE-POWDER (2g/animal ) in the stables (pigsties etc.) to reduce environmentally relevant trace-gas showed a positive effect after 34 hours, which was proved by measuring results. The air improved considerably. Further systematic testing is necessary. It is suggested that TG plans and makes tests in two similar stables with the gas-monitor using the BIO-AKTIV-POWDER.
