Hi Everyone
Just hope to start new topic and see if any of you had expirience with using EM in poultry as heard from my very good friend from Poland lots of praises he keeps 50 chickens in big shed and there is no bad smells anywere,chickens very healthy too).As I'm always interested in improving wellbiing my chickens and my garden too(really crazy as my hubby always tells me) :-)07 I had allredy sterted using them in feed,water and as cleaner for chickens cop.Will tell you my obserwations,so follow this link if you interested.
Poultry

EM is excellent for ensuring healthy poultry. Not only does it help suppress disease, but it can rapidly eliminate and control the ammonia produced by chicken droppings. There is some 'here say' evidence that poultry farms in the Far East that used EM-A on a regular basis were unaffected by the avian flu virus, while others near by succumbed.

Treatment of chicken sheds and runs
In order to ensure a healthy climate with no unpleasant odours, spread 0.5 kg Bokashi per m² over the surface of the shed. Regularly spray EM-Active in order to counteract unpleasant smells and to efficiently convert the manure into fertiliser.

Drinking water
Use EM ceramic products in the drinking-water trough or container. Use a proportion of 1 kilo ceramics to 1000 parts water in the container.
I had copy this text from website where you can buy some of they products.I had to order most of them from Poland as could not find all the products I was interested.
So I would love to hear from you guys if you have come accros them,maybe using them and if you have good supliers EM products in England :D
 
I have 270 adult birds and nearly 500 chicks - and non of my hen houses smell - - because I keep them clean - so no - I've never needed to use anything other than Diatom :D
 
I'm totally agree,you can newer raplace clining,but some help is always good as I have very good sense of smell and can smell things the other can't :D
 
None of my very close neighbours smell anything different than before my arrival here with my birds -cleanliless is the essence to all chicken breeding - otherwise we could all hide our bugs, illneses etc behind "products" - and I can't afford that.. clean everything steralise everything - and you won't have any problems - a lot of extra work - maybe - bit it is well worth it :-)17
 
I had used EM to eliminate odour of bertolli creosote which i had treated my cop.It is works wonders.Birds very healthy ,active and full of energy.In few months time I will test they poo to see if EM keeps worms at bay:)To read about this more you can check this website http://www.effectivemicro-organisms.co.uk/. I have using them also to clean my home and in my garden :D
 
Hi Tyg------ I can't get onto the site. Is this the use of specific organisms against others that produce odours or antibacterial chemicals? What is in it and how does it work? If no food or rotting debris is the runs and droppings removed etc there is no reason for chickens to smell (bar the odd broody!) Ros
 
Hi,I have amend the addres,try again.It is not only to supress the smell but to boost health of the animals,supress patogens etc.They not chemicals of any kind but living organizms to much writing to explain try thre site again:D
 
Thats the problem with people,they think that definition of clean is to get rid of all bacterias,but truth to be told soon as you do that a new bacterias will spread like wildfire.It is better to intoduce to the envoirment good microbes which keep all baddies surpress.EM gives an oportunity to intoduce bacterias and other microbs which helps to keep everything in order.This is a very simplified version of what EM stands for.
 
Hellow again
I just come acros a great article about cleaning water in ponds and lakes.This may be a great interest for all duck owners ejoy

Just to add that I'm not representative of this tehnology but a big fan of it and this stuff is great for the envoirment :-)08

My sincerest apologies for the later than normal response, but I wanted to thank everyone on here for their advice. As I mentioned in a previous post, I'm a complete and utter n00b when it comes to animal husbandry. . . this includes proper care and maintenance of such areas. I was curious to know myself, what one would do they happened to observe such "microorganisms" in one's environment. Would you folks suggest spraying the area down with a chemical (safe for our feathered friends, of course) or a simple scrubbing through good ol' elbow grease? What about filtering the water utilized (say, with a Ge mwf filter or something similar) to clear our impurities? Thanks, folks!
 
We have about 2 tons of rotting chicken poo in a heap alongside the canal. Funny thing it doesn't smell but it does have a good circulation of air. It gets moved around this time onto year 1 of the compost heap. Year 1 goes to year 2 position and year 2 goes onto the vegetable plot. Then in Spring we plant seeds in it and in Autumn eat 'the poo' effectively! Fortunately there are the micro-organisms along the process making it safe to eat.
 
I give my hens some bokashi bran in a little coop cup alongside a cup of grit, and I think it does help with poop odour, and, ahem, firmness. Bb is a bran "inoculated" with EM. Touching wood, my hens have always been healthy too.
 
I buy mine from wiggly wigglers, or generically from.eBay. its not that expensive, it lasts a fairly long time. I think a paid £6 for a bag from ebay. Wiggly wigglers do layers mash with EM already in, but mine like pellets.
Costwise , I suppose, in away , its like the Aubiose I use in the run.some people think its expensive, but its fairly cost effective, lasts a long time and easy husbandry for me. So its a personal decision..:smile:
