How PIT PERFECT Reduces Solids, Odor & Boosts Fertilizer Value
Managing manure pits and lagoons is one of the most complex, costly, and often overlooked parts of running a hog operation. Between solids buildup, foaming, and odor issues, poor pit conditions can slow down productivity, hurt fertilizer value, and raise operational costs.
PIT PERFECT, a biological manure pit treatment from Ecological Laboratories, offers a proven solution for farms of all sizes—from mid-size barns to some of the largest operations in the U.S.
This natural, liquid additive is designed to tackle the core challenges of swine manure management: reducing solids, controlling odor, and enhancing nutrient value for land application.
Here’s how it works—and why producers are calling it a game-changer:
💧 Solids Reduction Without Heavy Agitation
Buildup of bottom sludge and surface crust in manure pits can make pumping a nightmare. Not only does it require extensive agitation, but it also reduces your storage volume and increases wear and tear on equipment.
PIT PERFECT uses nonpathogenic bacteria and humic compounds to break down solids naturally, liquefying waste and preventing thick sludge from forming.
Proven Results:
-
Up to 90% reduction in agitation costs
-
Improved flow and easier pumping
-
Reclaimed up to 34% of pit storage capacity in year one
“After one year of using the product, I had almost zero crusting, better fly control,
and consistent manure from the first load to the last.”
— Tanner Differding, Custom Pumper & Producer, MN
🌬️ Manure Odor Control at the Source
Nothing creates tension between operations, employees, and neighbors like strong odors from hog manure. Gases like ammonia and hydrogen sulfide aren’t just unpleasant—they’re dangerous at high concentrations and can trigger community complaints or regulatory scrutiny.
PIT PERFECT improves air quality by optimizing microbial activity in the pit, reducing the conditions that lead to excessive gas production.
Measurable Benefits:
-
Reduces ammonia and H₂S emissions
-
Improves worker safety and ventilation efficiency
-
Helps protect animal comfort and barn health
-
Aids in pest control
This makes PIT PERFECT not only an odor control solution, but part of a broader strategy to maintain a safer, more productive barn environment.
🌾 Manure Fertilizer Value: More Yield, Less Waste
Your manure isn’t waste—it’s a resource! But if solids settle and nutrients concentrate at the bottom, your application becomes uneven, inefficient, and less valuable to the field.
PIT PERFECT promotes slurry consistency and boosts nutrient availability, helping you get more out of every load.
Benefits to Fertility:
-
Up to 18% increase in plant-available nutrients
-
Better nitrogen retention and less nutrient runoff
-
Even distribution across fields for improved yields
Whether you’re running a conventional or organic operation, better pit performance translates directly to better land performance.
⚙️ Built for Large-Scale Hog Operations
From custom pumpers to top 40 producers, PIT PERFECT is already being used in barns managing 500,000-gallon pits and multi-million-gallon lagoon systems. Its liquid format is:
-
Easy to apply
-
Scalable across multiple sites
-
Requires no mixing or additional equipment
Available in:
-
5-gallon totes
-
Cases of 4 x 1-gallon jugs
-
Certified organic formulation available
📈 The ROI Is Real
PIT PERFECT helps reduce costs where they hit hardest—fuel, labor, equipment wear, and fertilizer inefficiency. Producers have reported a 2:1 return in the first year, and up to 3:1 in maintenance programs—driven by improvements in fertilizer value alone.
It’s not just a product.
It’s an investment in smoother operations, cleaner barns, and smarter manure handling.
