The BioProfessional enzyme system is a ''permanent'' bedding system - a treated bed will last for 12-18 months. The bedding material (shavings, flax, hemp or similar) is initially mixed throughout with 5 applications of 200gms of BioProfessional powder and 200mls of Micropan solution; the base of the bed is left undisturbed and only the droppings removed. Once the bed is established, it is maintained by a weekly treatment with 150gms of BioProfessional powder, the addition of more bedding and periodic spraying with Micropan Solution.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The mixture of enzymes transforms the urine produced by the horse into a clear, odourless liquid. The ammonia which is so damaging to the respiratory system of both horse and groom is thus eliminated. Any small pieces of dung are also broken down and as the bed matures, the bottom layer begins to compost into a dark peat-like texture.

ADVANTAGES

 SANITARY problems are reduced - Reduction of ammonia smells and bacterial pathogens: Improved environmental conditions for horse and groom. ECOLOGICAL - Less pollution of soil and water table from muck-heap. When deep litter is eventually removed, the composted bedding can be used on the land immediately. ECONOMIC - Less bedding material used: Enormous reduction of time and labour spent mucking out: 80% reduction in size of muck heap. THE COSTS - Approximately £3 per horse per week. PRODUCTS - BioProfessional Powder is available in 1.5kg,5kg,10kg & 25kgs. Micropan Solution is available in 1ltr,5ltr,10ltr & 25ltrs.

RUBBER MATS

For boxes with rubber mats a weekly application of 60-75gms of Micropan Normal powder will degrade and clean areas where excrement and urine exist. Reducing ammonia smells and decreasing the formation of pathogenic bacteria. For sanitising use Micropan Solution diluted in water at 10%. Micropan Normal is also ideal for using in horse transporters,horse walkers and treadmills. The product is available in 750gms,5kg,10kg & 25kgs.
