Deodorex - Surface Odour Treatment

Deodorex is a unique formulation of naturally occurring bacteria and enzymes specially formulated to address the problems created in livestock husbandry by animal waste derived surface odour effects. Deodorex is not a masking agent, it works by addressing the root cause of the odour.

Housing Environment

The prevailing environment in livestock housing can dramatically affect the health and productive efficiency of the animals housed in them. This in turn impacts the economic return that can be derived from those animals.

An unhealthy environment exacerbates stress in the animals thereby reducing production performance. Increased levels of stress makes animals ore susceptible to disease, thereby increasing medication costs and production losses which affect profitability. One of the major environmental stress conditions that adversely affects confined animals is the inefficient decomposition of animal wastes. In such conditions the volume of waste excreted by the animals greatly exceeds the rate at which it can be naturally degraded. An obvious indicator that waste decomposition processes are not progressing adequately is the presence of elevated levels of ammonia and hydrogen sulphide in the ambient air.

Mode of Action of Deodorex

Deodorex is not an odour masking agent.
The mode of action of Deodorex is to address the root cause of the odour.
Deodorex consists of a high concentration of viable bacteria and microbially derived enzymes which are part of the natural process of organic waste degradation.
Application of Deodorex ensures that the natural degradative processes for animal manure and urine wastes occur at an accelerated rate sufficient to prevent toxic odour build up in livestock housing.
Deodorex results in a healthier environment which provides for healthier animals and therefore healthier PROFITS!

Use of Deodorex in Veal Production

Duplicate veal barns of 4000 square feet each were used during a commercial veal grow out period. Both barns were identical in all respects. Deodorex was applied weekly, by liquid spray, to the floor surface of the treated barn.
