Waste Handling
Hog & Dairy Manure Treatment
The application of MICROBE-LIFT®/MT is to follow pit volume reduction via pull
plug waste removal. Apply at the head of the pit away from the plug discharge
area. For optimum treatment results, dilute using 4 to 5 parts tap water to 1 part
MICROBE-LIFT®, then apply to pits.
For new barns or first application, wait until manure is in the pit prior to adding
MICROBE-LIFT® to assure the biology has an adequate energy source. Always
follow the application use instructions with adequate material added on the first
application. This considers the full capacity of the pit and not the volume of manure in the pit at the time of treatment. Follow weekly treatment rates for the next
4 weeks, then convert to monthly treatment.
Manure Enhancement Benefits
Speeds Waste Degradation:
• Significantly reduces surface crust and bottom solids
• Improves manure liquefaction
• Reduces agitation and pumping problems
Increases Fertilizer Value:
• Provides a consistent manure slurry from first load to last
• Fixes nitrogen following on field manure applicaiton
• Controls nutrient loss, runoff, and streaking of manure
Eliminates Odors In Barn and On Feild:
• Reduces hydrogen sulfide and ammonia production
• Limits pest
• Improves barn environment
Evaluate barn conditions and water use as low water may lead to manure storage
issues. When necessary, add water to the pit after pump down at a rate of 1,0002,000 gallons.

Standard Application:
Microbe-Lift Hog-Sow Farm Pull Plug Barns
Before application
of MICROBE-LIFT on
manure lagoon. Starting
with a completely solid
surface crust
• Apply 30 gallons of Microbe-Lift/MT for each one
million gallons of pit volume.
• Based on results, repeat the application within
5 to 10 days using 1/2 the rate of addition, then
apply 10 gallon combined product per month for
continued control.

Solving Pit Problems Naturally
MICROBE-LIFT® microbial technology
reduces the fat, protein and fatty acids believed to drive the generation of methane,
reducing conditions for pit foaming.
“We have been using Microbe Lift ever since we
built our first barn in 1999. We have never had
a sludge build-up issue, we have never had any
pit foaming, and our manure quality is always
good. We are very pleased with the product.”
- P. McChesney, OH
Treatment after dump down or pump out - if pump down eliminated most to all of
the manure and the barn is cleaned and sanitized, the farm must start treatment as
suggested in the use tables. During pump down no additional product is required,
other than normal monthly use rate. If the manure is removed 70-90 percent with
no sanitization and a fair supply of treated manure remaining in the pit, start treatment with the four week use schedule eliminating the initial heavy dosage. At the
same time, if the pits conditions are not ideal, and under low water start treatment
as a per standard instruction.
• Large Pits = 7,000 - 20,000 gallons
• Small Pits = 6,000 gallons or less
1st Application at start of treatment:
• Large pits = 1 gallon
• Small pits = 1/2 gallon
After first application, wait one week, the
second week treatment rate is 50% of the
first application volume:
• Large pit = ½ gallon
• Small pit = ¼ gallon
120 days following
initial application of
MICROBE-LIFT to manure lagoon. Removal
of surface crust and
associated odors.
Maintenance: After the first 2 weeks of treatment, at the higher rate of use:
• Large pits = 1 quart/weekly
• Small pits = 1 pint/weekly
To Determine the Volume of Manure Storage:
• Of Rectangular Pits: (LxWxD) x 7.5 = Gallons
• Of Round Pits: 3.14 x (RxR) x H x 7.5 =Gallons
