Beef Cattle

The Rebalance Line of solutions for Beef Cattle provide farmers with numerous benefits.

Benefits with the Rebalance Beef Line:

  • 1. Biovalorization and Fluidification of Liquid Manure
  • 2. Biohygienization of the Environment
  • 3. Animal Bioresilience and Improved Welfare
  • 4. Reduction of Emissions and Odors

1. Biovalorization and Fluidification of Liquid Manure

Thanks to the Biovalorization of the liquid manure achieved with SOP Lagoon, it is possible to reduce nitrogen fertilization by 10%.

Biovalorization helps fluidify the manure in under-barn pits, reception pits, and manure storage tanks, while at the same time improving its fertilizing potential.

2. Biohygienization of the environment

Biohygienization refers to the ability to condition the environment without adding external microorganisms or indiscriminately eliminating beneficial microbial populations.

It makes it possible to create a balance that favors humification and composting processes instead of putrefactive ones.

Biohygienization® consists of:

Counteracting environmental pathogens
and up to a 70% reduction in udder issues;
Reduced emissions of harmful gases
up to -99% of odor and ammonia emissions;
Increase in beneficial microbiota
which results in drier and cleaner bedding and stalls, lower labor costs, and fewer flies.

3. Animal Bioresilience and Welfare

Bioresilience is the ability of a system to withstand stressful events or its tendency to restore balance.

It can be achieved in beef cattle through the stimulation of the microbiome, the digestive system, the neuroendocrine system, and the immune system.

The SOP Star products combine Biohygienization and Bioresilience, aiming to reduce environmental impact, improve herd welfare, increase farm profitability, and consequently achieve:
  • A more stable and balanced ruminal and intestinal microbiome with improved nutrient assimilation;
  • Better feed conversion and improved protein synthesis;
  • Greater ability to adapt more quickly to changes in environment or diet;
  • A stronger immune system with a consequent reduction in the risk of epidemic spread;
  • Greater resistance to disease and improved recovery capacity;
  • Better meat quality at slaughter.

During the restocking phase:

  • Better recovery of animal welfare;
  • Improved rumen recovery;
  • Faster adaptation to a new environment.

4. Reduction of emissions and odors

The Rebalance Beef line products reduce odor and ammonia emissions right in the barn.

They also provide valuable support in reducing the environmental impact of farming by counteracting greenhouse gas emissions: in the barn, with SOP Star Beef which reduces enteric emissions, and in the liquid manure, with the SOP Lagoon line.
This can lead to:

-100%*

Ammonia (NH₃) and Nitrous Oxide (N₂O) emissions

-50%**

Enteric Methane (CH₄) emissions

-80%***

Methane (CH₄) emissions from manure

-75%***

Carbon Dioxide (CO₂) emissions
