Vulkamin, volcanic powder for animal bedding

Vulkamin® is a 100% natural basalt rock powder of volcanic origin, known for its exceptional absorbency. Rich in minerals and trace elements, it improves bedding quality over the long term and helps create a healthier environment for animals.

Made from finely ground prehistoric rock, this volcanic powder acts as a natural regulator of moisture and fumes in barns, stalls, and deep-litter bedding. It is naturally gentler than lime, so it is less harsh on skin, mucous membranes, and cows' udders.

Thanks to its strong binding capacity, Vulkamin® traps ammonia and other nitrogen compounds (nitrates, nitrites, phosphates), limiting harmful fumes and unpleasant odors. Stalls stay drier, the air is cleaner, and there are fewer flies.

Vulkamin® is the ideal natural mineral solution for improving animal comfort, sanitizing livestock buildings, and making the most of manure while respecting the soil's natural balance.

Uses

Vulkamin® is applied by sprinkling it by hand directly onto damp areas of the bedding, alongside straw, flax, or sawdust.

It works just as well in standard stalls as in systems with mats or deep-litter bedding.

Suggested dosage:
About 0.8 oz per sq ft (250 g per m²) per week, applied regularly year-round.

For a stall of about 97 to 129 sq ft (9 to 12 m²):
2 × 1.65 lb (750 g) per week, depending on how damp it is.

With Microferm:
Prepare a 5% solution: 1.3 gallons (5 L) of Microferm to 26.4 gallons (100 L) of water.
Spray 1.6 quarts (1.5 L) of this solution in the barn 3 times a week (equivalent to 2.2 fl oz (65 ml) of Microferm diluted in 1.6 quarts (1.5 L) of water).
