The Rural Voice, 1994-05, Page 41Nuhn Bio-Tech's microbial products assist hog farmers While some segments of society are just starting to discover the benefits of microbes, Nuhn Bio -Tech has been working with farmers for 10 years now to make hog farming more efficient and easier. "Our business was built on the hog industry's early acceptance of our microbial products," says Darnell Nuhn. Man has employed micro- organisms for thousands of years to make bread rise, to ferment wine and beer, to turn milk into cheese and eventually to dispose of waste products from an industrial society. For many years, before the work of Louis Pasteur, no one knew what caused wine to ferment. Today there is a huge interest by scientists in what bacteria can do to break down the wastes of any organic product such as food wastes and industrial wastes into water, carbon dioxide and protein. Nuhn Bio -Tech, now in its 10th year of serving farmers, offers three bacterial inoculant products to assist pork producers. Sani-Bac makes the job of washing hog pens and crates much easier. It not only removes odours but liquifies manure build up on all surfaces and gutters. Sani-Bac promotes a healthier environment and costs much less than chemical disinfectants. Primalac is a viable microbial feed additive that has been used in all types of livestock feed programs across North America for more than a decade. In dozens of accredited feed trials Primalac has demonstrated superior performance and stability. Years of experience help Nuhn Bio -Tech advise farmers about waste treatment. They offer such products as Manure Activator or micro aeration to help solve waste problems at low cost. The company also supplies Sila-Prime inoculant for high - moisture corn.0 Naturally uperior genetics and an Pigs emphasizes service breeding stock operation. emphasis on service are the Genetics are a big selling point keys to the success of for Naturally Pigs' stock.
