Versatile benefits for your animals
Feed charcoal is increasingly being used in livestock farming - both in feed and in the barn. The benefits for animal health, feed efficiency, product quality and barn climate are now well documented on many farms. In contrast to scientific studies, the focus here is on everyday experience: What benefits does biochar actually bring farmers in their daily work with animals?
Many poultry farmers - from family farms to commercial stables - have been reporting positive experiences with biochar for years. They use it as an additive in the feed and in the litter to improve the climate in the barn. The animals are more vital, grow faster and at the same time meat and egg quality improve.
Practical experience with biochar
- Significantly better feed conversion, up to 17 % higher growth rates in young animals
- Higher final weight, up to 9 % for broilers (including turkeys) through better digestion and liver relief
- Lower mortality, more stable animals even under stress
- Meat quality increases: less cholesterol, more unsaturated fatty acids Fatty acids, better tenderness
- Laying performance optimized: +5 % egg weight, +12 % feed efficiency, +33 % more stable shell
- Binding of toxins: reduction of aflatoxin residues in the liver by up to 72 %
- Stronger immune system: more beneficial gut bacteria(e.g. Lactobacillus), fewer cases of diarrhea
Advantages of biochar as bedding charcoal
- Dry barn, significantly less odor (ammonia reduction of over 50 %)
- Fewer plantar fasciitis, decrease in pododermatitis by up to 92 %
- Lower disease pressure, less to no use of antibiotics
- Higher vitality, better final weights, more animal welfare
- Sustainable cycle: Feed charcoal goes into the Bedding and later as fertilizer on the field (CO₂ sink)
Quality you can rely on
When using feed charcoal in animal husbandry, maximum purity and quality are crucial for the health of your animals and for maximum safety in the barn. The charcoal produced in the Carbotec-1 reactor achieves a PAH content of less than 0.6 mg/kg - one of the best values on the market and well below the limit value of < 4 mg/kg according to the EBC standard (European Biochar Certificate). Maximum safety for your animals and yields.
