Revolutionizing Dairy Production
Revolutionizing Dairy Production Home Revolutionizing Dairy Production: Groundbreaking Findings Prof. Prinsloos has unveiled transformative findings in laying hen production in Germany. His research demonstrates that integrating 1-3% EM•Bokashi AH into daily feed, 1:1000 EM•ProBiotic in drinking water, and weekly 1:200 EM•Viro sprays around the chicken houses results in notably healthy chickens and high organic egg production. Crucially, the use of EM® Mist Blowers, when needed, ensures that ammonia is virtually eliminated from the chicken houses. This innovative approach not only enhances poultry well-being but also sets a new benchmark for sustainable and efficient poultry farming. Healthy Dairy Production No Foot Infections & No Antibiotics EM® Mist Blowers – No Methane & Ammonia Clean Milking Parlor Thanks to EM® Effective microorganisms feed on organic matter, which is abundantly present in the milking parlour: milk, feed and bedding residues, animal faeces, urine and saliva or fly droppings are just a few of the organic substances that get onto the floor and walls during the milking process , the facility and the clusters arrive. When cleaning, you often don’t get rid of the dirt completely and unintentionally create breeding grounds for unwanted germs and bacteria. Anyone who has their milking parlor with Dr. Higa’s Original™ EM® Effective Microorganisms cleans, cleans naturally, sustainably and improves overall milking hygiene. We explain the “Why, how, for what reason”. Why can EM® improve the Overall Hygiene Status? All current regulations and recommendations for cleaning and disinfection measures in the company have a weak point in terms of sustainability: After cleaning/disinfection, microorganisms settle on the cleaned surfaces again within a few minutes and hours. Depending on how the environment is microbially colonized and the speed at which individual species multiply, this recolonization can consist of a high proportion of undesirable germs. Unless the resettlement is actively controlled – with original EM®. If positive EM® microorganisms are deliberately brought onto all surfaces during or after cleaning/disinfection measures, the potentially free habitats on which harmful germs could multiply are already occupied. This prevents them from multiplying naturally. This effect of the EM® can be transferred to all surfaces. On uncleaned surfaces (e.g. also difficult-to-clean surfaces in the barn) it occurs with a delay if used regularly, on regularly / freshly cleaned surfaces it actively protects immediately. If you are interested: In an article on cleaning pigsties, we have already reported on the colonization power of EM® on surfaces. Cleaning effect of EM®? Organic matter is the nutritional basis for EM®. You can take advantage of this property, especially with stubborn dirt, because it is continuously dissolved by the EM®, provided it is used regularly. A positive side effect of cleaning with EM® is that you can save on conventional cleaning agents. EM® reduces the surface tension of water. As a result, detergents work better even with hard water. Calcifications are prevented directly during cleaning or by repopulating with EM®. EM® cleans on two levels: visible dirt and microbial. Visible dirt is dissolved and at the same time organic and inorganic deposits are prevented. Cleaning the Milking Parlor with EM® A good preparation for later cleaning is to atomize a 2% EMIKO stable cleaner-water mixture during milking. All floors and furnishings as well as the animals themselves can be easily sprayed with a pressure sprayer, weather permitting. In the case of stubborn dirt, it is worth using the higher cleaning power of the EMIKO all-purpose cleaner instead of using the stable cleaner here as well. More information on the EMIKO all-purpose cleaners lemon dark and lavender dark can be found in the EMIKO shop. The cleaners are generously distributed in a 2 to 5% dilution on all surfaces to be cleaned. Remove odors with EM® Organic matter is the nutritional basis for EM®. You can take advantage of this property, especially with stubborn dirt, because it is continuously dissolved by the EM®, provided it is used regularly.

Calcifications are prevented directly during cleaning or by repopulating with EM®. EM® cleans on two levels: visible dirt and microbial. Visible dirt is dissolved and at the same time organic and inorganic deposits are prevented. Neutralize Bad Smells with EM® Odors are caused by degrading (putrefaction) processes. EM prevent this degradation and instead promote fermentative processes that do not produce any unpleasant odors. In this way, EM cleaners eliminate the odor very significantly within a few minutes. Due to the effect of positive microorganisms and the purely natural ingredients, there is no longer any room for bad microbes and bad smells. Bad smells stick particularly stubbornly to couches, armchairs, beds and pillows. These are difficult to clean, so you often only have the option of treating them superficially with a spray. These cleaners, often mixed with chemicals, also attack the material, make it porous and store the unpleasant odors even more easily, so that the problem keeps coming back. In addition, one should consider that the use of chemical cleaning agents can have health effects. Animals also suffer greatly from the use of chemical agents, as the odors are often very penetrating. How EM® Tackles Bad Smells The all-purpose cleaner Citrus and EMIKO Blond are very good against stubborn odors in the house. Whether cigarettes, litter box or textiles of all kinds: simply spray on diluted and wait. After a few minutes, the odors disappear and a pleasant light fragrance develops. TIP: Just follow your nose! If it smells – just spray EM® on it! If odors are particularly stubborn, EM® can also be used several times a day until the odor is gone. The EM® cleaners are 100% ecological and free of synthetic fragrances and preservatives. They are completely natural products that have been developed for daily, safe use. TIP: The product should first be tested on an inconspicuous area. Although this is a light EM® product, slight

ZZ2 Nature Farming® or Natuurboerdery® Home EM® Technology in ZZ2 Nature Farming® More than two decades ago, ZZ2 started a journey that steered away from conventional, industrial agriculture towards a system that aims to farm in harmony with nature. They call this journey Natuurboerdery®. ZZ2 has a long history with EM® Technology dating back to 2001. EM® forms a crucial part of the ZZ2 Natuurboerdery® concept. Prof Prinsloo was a founding member of NEM, an entity established jointly with by ZZ2 which became the vehicle through which various Nature Farming, and composting methods and processes were researched and optimised to arrive at the techniques that are currently implemented by ZZ2 today.
