Animal Waste Treat (AWT) is a professional-grade microbial blend formulated for the treatment of livestock and dairy waste in lagoons, pits, and manure handling systems. It contains high-CFU animal waste treatment bacteria that target manure, urine, and other organic residues, helping operators maintain cleaner, more efficient systems. The specialized strains degrade fats, proteins, and fibrous material, reducing odors, sludge buildup, and nutrient overload that often lead to costly management challenges.
AWT improves lagoon and pit stability, reduces hauling and dredging frequency, and helps farmers get more value out of manure effluent for land application. Its robust biology maintains performance across seasonal temperature swings, variable loading rates, and fluctuating pH conditions.
Key Benefits:
Livestock lagoons, manure pits, and dairy waste systems face constant challenges from heavy organic loading, solids buildup, and odor generation. Accumulated sludge reduces hydraulic capacity, while volatile fatty acids (VFAs), hydrogen sulfide, and ammonia drive nuisance odors, neighbor complaints, and compliance risks. Seasonal temperature swings and variable manure inputs further stress lagoon stability, leading to costly pumping, hauling, and dredging requirements.
Animal Waste Treat (AWT) is a high-CFU, spore-forming Bacillus blend engineered for reliable animal waste treatment in lagoons, pits, and manure management systems. These facultative anaerobic strains thrive in oxygen-limited conditions and across wide pH and temperature ranges, ensuring consistent pit and lagoon bioaugmentation in the challenging environments typical of livestock operations. AWT includes denitrifying bacteria for lagoons that support nitrifying bacteria like Nitrosomonas and Nitrobacter. The product helps reduce nitrates and nitrites under anaerobic conditions, while supporting nitrifiers that keep ammonia and nitrite in balance. This stabilizes nitrogen cycling and improves effluent quality in lagoons and manure pits.
AWT contains organic waste digestion microbes selected for their ability to degrade proteins, fats, cellulose, and fibrous residues. It has proven effectiveness in cattle & swine manure pit treatment and poultry waste lagoon treatment, where it accelerates solids digestion, reduces sludge buildup, and controls odors.The formulation also digests VFAs, ammonia, and other odor precursors, delivering lagoon odor control and stabilizing effluent for land application. AWT’s manure lagoon treatment bacteria reduces crust and odors, liquefies waste, and delivers more consistent nutrient recycling value for crops.
AWT microbes actively eliminate the root causes of lagoon and pit odors.
The livestock waste treatment bacteria in AWT are chosen for rapid and reliable digestion of manure solids.
AWT strengthens lagoon and pit performance by stabilizing the liquid fraction of animal waste.
By stabilizing manure biology, AWT enhances nutrient balance and fertilizer value.
Biological treatment of lagoons and pits delivers measurable operational savings.

A: Animal Waste Treat is a high-CFU microbial blend designed for livestock and dairy waste treatment in lagoons, pits, and manure storage systems. It contains facultative anaerobic Bacillus strains that thrive in oxygen-limited, nutrient-rich conditions where conventional products often fail. AWT strains produce protease, cellulase, and lipase enzymes to break down proteins, fibers, and fats while digesting volatile fatty acids (VFAs) and other odor-causing compounds.
A: Standard wastewater blends are not optimized for heavy organic waste, fibrous solids, and the odor challenges found in manure systems. AWT bacteria are specifically selected for high activity in livestock lagoons and pits, with strains that accelerate solids digestion, stabilize effluent, and reduce odors like ammonia, hydrogen sulfide (H?S), and mercaptans.
A: AWT bacteria support key biological processes that keep manure pits and lagoons stable:
A: Yes. By breaking down VFAs and other odor precursors, AWT reduces hydrogen sulfide, ammonia, mercaptans, and other nuisance gases. This improves on-farm conditions and reduces neighbor complaints.
A: AWT lowers BOD, COD, and TSS in lagoon and pit effluent, producing cleaner, more stable liquid for land application or discharge. It helps farms move closer to nutrient-management and water-quality targets.
A: Yes. AWT reduces sludge buildup, which lowers dredging and hauling frequency. It also cuts chemical dosing for odor control and helps extend lagoon storage life, leading to lower overall operating costs.
A: Most operations notice reduced odors within 2 weeks and measurable sludge reduction after 1-2 months of use, depending on loading rates and lagoon conditions.
A: Yes. AWT contains high-CFU livestock wastewater treatment microbes effective across dairy, swine, poultry, and cattle operations. It is equally suitable for use in CAFO wastewater treatment systems or smaller farms, with microbes that adapt to the variable loading rates and environmental conditions common in agricultural wastewater systems such as lagoons, pits, and manure tanks.
A: Yes. AWT contains 100% facultative anaerobic microbes, which perform reliably in aerobic, anoxic, and anaerobic conditions found in lagoons and pits.
A: Absolutely. By stabilizing nitrogen, phosphorus, and organic matter, AWT produces a cleaner, more uniform effluent that is easier to pump, spread, and use as a crop fertilizer.
A: Yes. AWT includes strains that break down fibrous material, reducing crust formation, mats, and solids buildup that restrict hydraulic flow in lagoons and pits.
A: Yes. AWT contains facultative anaerobic strains denitrifying bacteria for lagoons, helping reduce nitrates and nitrites by converting them into nitrogen gas. At the same time, AWT provides nitrification support in livestock wastewater by enhancing biological pathways that convert ammonia into more stable nitrogen forms. Together, these processes lower excess nitrogen levels, improve lagoon stability, and produce cleaner effluent for land application or discharge.
A: Yes. AWT is effective in anaerobic waste digesters as well as lagoons and pits. It contains facultative anaerobic strains that support the activity of nitrifying bacteria, which convert ammonia into more stable nitrogen forms. By reducing excess ammonia and nitrite, both of which are known inhibitors of methanogenic microbes, AWT helps protect and stabilize the methanogen population. This results in a more balanced microbial community, improved digestion of organic matter, and steadier methane generation over time.
A: AWT can be supplied in multiple dosing options:
A: Yes. They provide a controlled release of microbes, maintaining consistent biological activity and odor control over time.
A: Position them in areas with good water movement, such as near inlets, agitation points, or pump intakes, to ensure uniform microbial distribution.
A: Yes. AWT contains all-natural, non-GMO Bacillus strains that are safe for manure management infrastructure, crops, soils, and downstream ecosystems.
A: Yes. AWT is available in bulk and wholesale supply for farms, cooperatives, integrators, and agricultural service providers. Custom CFU concentrations and packaging options are available.
A: Yes. AWT is offered in private label, OEM, and distributor-ready formats across powder, liquid, block, and tablet forms.
A: You can buy livestock and dairy waste treatment bacteria from us in bulk, wholesale, OEM, and private-label formats, with domestic and international shipping available.
