“We are mixing EM･1 into sawdust and also into the water to spray the barn. By doing this, we can keep a hygienic and healthy environment without using chemicals.” Says the farm foreman. EM･1 is also used in the pig’s drinking water, pig’s wastes and waste water treatment.
The main feed for the Agu is barley mixed with natural fossil coral, mugwort (yomogi), garlic, seaweed, molasses, etc. Agus here are raised with good food, good water and good air!
