Animal bedding

Application: Add biochar to existing bedding at a rate of 5-10%

Desiccant: Biochar absorbs moisture leaving a dryer and more hygienic living environment, requiring less frequent replacement

Reduced ammonia emissions: Biochar binds urea and amino acid molecules preventing them converting into ammonia. In addition, the bacteria which convert urea into ammonia thrive in slightly acidic environment and are repressed by the presence of alkaline biochar

Improved fertilizer: Biochar supports the development of beneficial aerobic soil microbes present in the manure, and retains nutrients such as nitrogen, meaning that the efficacy of the bedding for later soil application is improved, making the agri-waste management loop more effective
