Manure lagoons are not only waste pits, but pits of unharnessed opportunity and value. As the first-of-its-kind powdered manure additive, SOP™ Lagoon can help transform the manure cows produce into an asset that boosts your bottom line.
Help savings grow deep
SOP Lagoon capitalizes on the nutrients in your manure pit, keeping them in their most efficient form before being lost to ammonia volatilization and greenhouse gas formation. By stimulating the natural microbial activity in manure, the product promotes a more efficient breakdown of solids, improving the fertilization capacity of dairy waste. It has even been found that SOP Lagoon can help reduce costly synthetic applications by up to 10%.
Get more per gallon
SOP Lagoon leverages beneficial microbes to decompose organic matter in manure, encouraging the consumption of carbon and nitrogen compounds while limiting the activity of methanogens and other emission-producing bacteria. In the 2024 North American product trials, five dairies saw ammonia (NH3) emissions reduced by an average of 44% following six months of product use. This will result in increased nitrogen availability for crops this upcoming growing season.
Reduce agitation
Breaking up sediment and fiber at pump-out costs you both time and money. SOP Lagoon enhances the activity of solids dissolving microbials naturally present in your pit increasing their functionality, which improves nutrient efficiency. This helps prevent crust formation without agitation, minimizing equipment wear and fuel expenses.
“Agitation times are minimal when SOP Lagoon is used and there is significantly less smell,” said Nanning Zeldenrust, Falona Springs Holsteins, AB, Canada. “My fertilizer costs are at a minimum, yet crop yields are at a high.”
Minimize odors
Dealing with lagoon odors stinks, whether you are accustomed to the smell or not. By preventing the formation of ammonia and other greenhouse gases that generate these odors, extreme smells are eliminated.
With more than 20 years of industry collaborated research and global product efficacy studies, SOP Lagoon can prevent your cattle’s waste from being wasted another year.
