How to use EM for poultry
Stall fumigation:
1st month:
min. 3-4 times/week, the ideal solution consists of fix-mounted fumigation jets with a time switch.
Subsequently:
spray 1-2 times/week: 0.02 l/m2 EM-A solution 1:1 (0.01 l EM-A + 0.01 l water) in the warm months. In the cold months dilute 0.01 l/m2 EM-A with the technically required water volume.
Stall preparation:
Clean thoroughly with a high-pressure spray. Evenly spray 1 l/m2 EM-A solution 1:4 (1 l EM-A + 4 l water) throughout the stall. Do not forget the ventilation shafts, roof vents, etc.
Cleaning the drinking system:
14 days before stocking allow a 50% EM-A solution to take effect for 4-5 days. Repeat this process 2-3 times and then rinse well with water. Install a filter between the water containers and the drinking system and clean regularly.
1 day before stocking:
Spray 0.10-0.15 l/m² of 1:9 diluted EM-A (e.g. 0.01 l EM-A + 0.09 l water) on the finely chopped straw. This is ideal for humidity and the reduction of dust in the stall.
Liquid manure and dung handling:
Add a minimum of 1-2 l EM-A/m3 material.
The addition of ultra fine, alkaline silicate stone meal is recommended (dosage: 3 kg/m³).
EM-FKE in poultry feeding
Use of EM-A FKE and EM-FKE Bokashi for broilers – laying hens - turkeys
- Mealy feed:
7 l EM-A FKE/to for min. 3 months; subsequently 5-7 l EM-A FKE/t or mix 1-3% EM-FKE Bokashi into the feed depending on environmental conditions.
In order to guarantee good distribution throughout the feed, EM-A FKE can be mixed with a little cereal bran.
- Press feed:
Once the pellets have cooled (< 40 °C) add 1-3 %
EM-FKE Bokashi to the feed
The following EM-A FKE dosage has proven highly effective with broilers under practical conditions:
EM-A FKE dosage in drinking water:
| 1st and 2nd days | 5-10 % EM-A FKE |
| 3rd day: | 3 % EM-A FKE |
| 4th and 5th days: | only water |
| 6th day: | 3 % EM-A FKE |
| 7th and 8th day: | only water |
| 9th and 10th day: | 10 % EM-A FKE |
| Subsequent to the 4th-6th day: | repeat consecutively, in the case of problems, increase to 10-20% EM-A FKE for some hours |
Use of EM-A FKE and EM-FKE Bokashi for ducks and geese
- Mealy feed:
7 l EM-A FKE/to for min. 3 months; subsequently 5-7 l EM-A FKE/t or mix 1-3% EM-FKE Bokashi into the feed depending on environmental conditions.
In order to guarantee good distribution throughout the feed, EM-A FKE can be mixed with a little cereal bran.
- Press feed:
Once the pellets have cooled (< 40 °C) add 1-3 % EM-FKE Bokashi to the feed.
- Cereal grains:
Soak maize, cereals in 2% EM-A FKE solution (0.2 l EM-A FKE + 9.8 l Water) for 12-24 h and allow to swell.
