SHAC Feed Additive

SHAC Feed additive harnesses the natural benefits of humic acid, which plays a crucial role in enhancing the overall health and sustainability of hog barns and manure management. Humic acid improves soil structure and nutrient retention, promoting the availability of essential minerals and organic nutrients necessary for optimal plant growth. In hog barns, the inclusion of SHAC Feed additive aids in reducing ammonia emissions by enhancing microbial activity and promoting the breakdown of waste products, thereby creating a healthier environment for livestock and workers. Additionally, as humic acid helps in stabilizing manure, it contributes to the reduction of odors and pathogens, making manure more manageable and beneficial when applied to agricultural land. This promotes a more eco-friendly approach to hog farming, aligning with modern sustainable agriculture practices.

  • • Reduces the concentrations of ammonia gas in hog barns, creating safer, healthier conditions for workers and livestock.

    • Reduces odors in hog barns, lowering the impact of hog operations on the community.

    • In various hog industry research studies, chronic exposure to ammonia has been correlated with a reduction in average daily gain and feed efficiency, as well as an increase in disease and medication costs.SHAC Feed Additive™ products are effective in reducing the levels of this harmful ammonia gas to which hogs are often continuously exposed.

Guelph University Air Quality Results and SHAC Field Trials Indicate:

57.8% reduction in odors in barns.
51% average reduction in ammonia.
28% reduction of carbon dioxide.

SHAC Liquid Feed Additive CFIA #480573: For Grower/Finish hogs, apply 250 ml (1/4 litre) of liquid Feed Additive per tonne (1000 kg) of complete feed ration. For weaners and sows, 500 ml (1/2 litre) of liquid Feed Additive should be added per tonne of complete feed ration.

SHAC Feed Additive is designed to be applied to complete feed rations at the application rates outlined above. SHAC Feed Additive can be added to batch mixers by simply pouring the required amount of product into the mill mixer.

Yes. SHAC Feed Additive has been registered by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) for use in hog/swine production for the reduction of ammonia and odors.

SHAC Feed Additive was found to have no toxicological effects on hogs fed up to 10X the recommended rates. However, it is always recommended that CFIA-approved application rates be used in all applications.

SHAC Feed Additive is only registered and approved by the CFIA for use in complete hog feed at this time.

In various industry research studies, chronic exposure to ammonia has been correlated with reductions in average daily gain and feed efficiency as well as increases in disease and medication costs.

This varies relative to pre-treatment conditions in each operation. Generally, odour and gas reduction results will begin to be observed within 3-6 weeks of initial application to feed rations.

Initial application of SHAC Manure Digester are recommended when SHAC Feed Additive is first applied to feed. In addition, operations experiencing pit solids accumulation and high ammonia levels may benefit from using both products simultaneously.
