Field Impact
- Helps accelerate the breakdown of organic waste and solids within manure pit systems
- Supports improved biological activity throughout the manure storage environment
- Helps minimize crust formation that can interfere with pit performance and pump-out operations
- Helps reduce odors and environmental conditions that contribute to fly pressure around livestock facilities
- Promotes more consistent manure handling and pump-out conditions
- Supports long term pit performance through continuous biological digestion activity
- Encourages a more balanced biological environment within the pit
- Assists in breaking down difficult organic material that can contribute to buildup and maintenance challenges
- Designed to work naturally within modern livestock manure management systems
- Safe for manure application back onto agricultural fields when used as directed
- Works effectively in hog, cattle, dairy, and other livestock manure pit systems
- Compatible with a wide range of pit styles, lagoons, and manure storage environments
- Provides a biological approach to improving pit conditions without relying on harsh chemical treatments
When to use Devour™
Devour is a good fit for growers who want to transform manure management from a bottleneck into streamlined applications of high-value fertilizer.
If your pit or lagoon has heavy solids, crusting, odor issues, or inconsistent nutrient content, Devour helps break down material and improve overall manure quality.
Growers often use Devour to create a more uniform, easier-to-handle product that can be applied more effectively and safely to fields.

BTI has really changed the way we think about the crop in general—whether that’s below-ground soil fertility, soil health, or above-ground plant health.
Zach M.
