Collection: Livestock farming

In livestock farming, the health of your animals is paramount. Zeolite and lime are the natural answer: for clean stables, vital cattle, pigs and sheep – and manure that truly gives back to the soil.

Zeolite is no new miracle – it's an ancient, volcanic mineral with an impressively versatile effect. Thanks to its unique pore structure, it binds ammonia (NH₃), dries out bedding, reduces odors, and creates a stable environment where animals feel comfortable and pathogens are less likely to spread.

What this means for your farm: lower vet bills, better animal hygiene, calmer animals – and ultimately higher product quality, whether it's milk, meat, or wool.

🐄 Cattle & Cows: From the stable to the slurry pit

In cattle farming, zeolite demonstrates its full versatility:

Bedding in cubicles: Sprinkled as a powder, zeolite keeps lying surfaces dry and non-slip. This has been proven to positively affect hoof health, Mortellaro, and purulent inflammation – and removes ammonia from the stable air.

Feed additive: Mixed into feed, zeolite acts as a molecular sieve in the digestive tract: It binds pollutants, free radicals, and excess acids, releases important minerals such as calcium, magnesium, and potassium – and demonstrably improves milk yield and the general condition of the animals.

Slurry enhancement: Clinoptilolite zeolite binds nitrogen in the slurry and prevents ammonia from escaping. The result: more nutrient-rich slurry that truly benefits the fields – good for the soil, good for the cycle.

🐖 Pigs: Stable hygiene you can feel

In pig farming, the stable climate is crucial. Ammonia and odor pollution are an underestimated problem in many operations – for animals and humans alike.

STALLKRAFT bedding with zeolite and organic herbs, as well as GÜLLEKRAFT N-FIX, help regulate pH, bind ammonia, and keep bedding drier. Less moisture means fewer germs, healthier hooves and skin, and pigs that are calmer and more resilient.

Used in slurry, zeolite binds nitrogen and ensures that the fertilizer has a significantly greater effect on the field – without chemical additives.

🐑 Sheep & Goats: Natural support for small ruminants

Zeolite is also a reliable companion in sheep and goat farming. The mineral-rich composition of clinoptilolite zeolite supports digestion and mineral supply – especially during growth phases and around lambing time.

As bedding, zeolite keeps stables dry, reduces germs, and protects the sensitive hooves of small ruminants. In combination with lime, a hygienic stable climate is created that can prevent foot rot and udder inflammation.

The STEINKRAFT circular economy concept

What makes STEINKRAFT products special in livestock farming: They think beyond the stable. Zeolite, which is used in bedding or slurry today, continues to work in the soil tomorrow. It improves soil structure, increases nutrient availability, and promotes soil life – without chemical intervention.

This is no coincidence. This is philosophy: We serve nature, animals, people. Natural. Meaningful. Sustainable.
