Nitrogen-Stabilizing Technology Leads to Environmentally Friendly Fertilizer

In the words of Healthy Farms Brand Strategist Jay Moore, the swine industry has been preaching recycling for generations. That includes natural fertilizer from pork production. Moore cites the use of a nitrogen stabilizer in the pit to create a consistent liquid nutrient and reduce odor.
