Despite application of the most sophisticated technologies, disinfection and improved manure management, harmful and malodorous gas emissions and risk of health problems persist. One of the reasons for this trouble is probably the high animal density in confined spaces (unnatural situation). This creates a lack of oxygen due to the high concentration of animal manure, this way disrupting the microbiota.

In turn, this results in dysfunctions of metabolic reactions that produce unwanted gases, such as ammonia, hydrogen sulphide, mercaptans, etc. These gases are not only malodorous, but also dangerous both to human and animal health. They negatively impact the environment, but can also impair the whole farm productivity. Both in animals and humans, high concentrations of ammonia (NH3) in breeding farms can produce effects such as irritation of lung and eye membranes (eyes and the respiratory tract) and inhibition of the gut microbiota.

Kopros® H products range is a group of microorganisms naturally occurring in soils and specific to equine farming. Kopros® H triggers and accelerates the transformation processes of equine manure.
