Effective Microorganisms (EM®) have been successfully increasing sheep and lamb health worldwide for decades. The beneficial microorganisms can be used in the drinking water, feed and even sprayed on manure to create nutrient-rich compost to sell or use on agricultural crops. Spraying EM® inside the barns will improve the microbial environment of the whole barn, including the intestinal bacteria flora of the livestock, and maintain the health of the entire operation.
TeraGanix offers probiotic products that use the Original EM-1® Microbial Inoculant to create a cost effective liquid ready for use without activation. For sheep and lamb, products include LG300, Apc500 and Ag1000.
