Vulkamin Antiseptic Bedding Powder

A naturally antiseptic bedding powder, rapidly becoming the preferred bedding powder used in animal husbandry.

Its mineralogical peculiarity gives it natural antiseptic qualities.

Microbes cannot tolerate fast changes in pH, giving Vulkamin its disinfectant effect.

Approved organic.

A 100% natural volcanic rock dust to improve hygiene and animal comfort.  Vulkamin will raise the pH sharply, fighting off harmful bacteria, it is so finely ground it is harmless to the animal teats and human hands.

Vulkamin has huge absorbency and the ability to dry out and reabsorb again, overall making your bedding last longer.

Vulkamin also binds elements such as Ammonium (NH4+), this means that it prevents Nitrogen losses, reducing on farm emissions and improve the nitrogen content of farmyard manure.

Vulkamin will enrich the soil with nutrients and trace elements, fundamental to soil fertility and balanced plant nutrition. Contributing to farm sustainability.

Suggested uses:

  • Calving pens
  • Sheep / Goat pens
  • Horse stables
  • With cat litter to increase life and neutralise odours
  • Hamster / rabbit / guinea pig cages

 

For every tonne of lime used on farm 440kgs of Carbon Dioxide is lost and if it only reacted with Ammonium 280kgs of pure Nitrogen would be lost as well. This hidden cost of using lime is reducing on farm efficiencies and increasing emissions.

Approved in organic farming in accordance with European Directives 834/2007 and 889/2008.
