The BioCircle™ by EnviroSystems

At EnviroSystems, sustainability forms a large part of our company ethos, and this extends onto our customers’ farms, where all of our products are based on a circular model, which we have called the BioCircle®. This puts farmers’ needs at the centre of our focus, and ensures that essential and valuable organisms, nutrients and chemicals flow from one area to another, providing maximum recovery and profitability for the farming community that we support. 

Sustainability forms a large part of our company ethos, and this extends onto our customers’ farms, where our range of products offer a holistic approach to modern day farming practices. 

So how do each of our products relate to the BioCircle? 

Traditional lime-based bedding kills bacteria indiscriminately due to the high pH. If an excesses of lime-based bedding makes its way into slurry stores and AD plants, the lime can accumulate and raise the pH of these systems to conditions where the bacteria breaking down the slurry (SlurryBugs) can no longer survive. The neutral pH of EnviroBed and ComfyCrumb means that the bedding can be added to slurry and AD systems without disrupting these bacteria.

The neutral pH also is kinder on the teat ends, meaning that the skin surface condition is much improved and has fewer irritations and cracks. This means that when used with a nourishing and skin sensitive teat cleaner such as EnviroCare Teat, the bacteria are easily washed off the surface and have a reduced ability to penetrate the skin surface and cause inflammation within the teat body.

The bacteria in Cobiotex are most effective in neutral pH bedding materials, such as EnviroBed, where they can grow rapidly to develop dominance over pathogenic strains. The reduced need for caustic and highly alkaline additives such as lime, means that spent bedding can be incorporated into slurry stores without disrupting the delicate bacterial population breaking down your slurry (SlurryBugs) producing highly nutritious fertiliser.

OptiSile ensures that the nutrients taken up from the soil and incorporated into the grass are preserved, meaning as much of them as possible can be transferred to the cow during feed out. This increases milk production and overall cow health without requiring additional bought in food costs. It also ensures less nutrients are wasted to the atmosphere (as CO2 gas during storage) resulting in a more efficient use of nutrients and a more sustainable farming practice.

Farmers needs are at the centre of our focus. The BioCircle ensures that essential and valuable organisms, nutrients and chemicals flow from one area to another, providing maximum recovery and profitability for the farming community that we support
