Every year, Acti-Sol recycles thousands of tons of layer hen manure so that gardeners who care about the environment are supplied with natural fertilizer approved for organic farming.
Recycling and developing "waste"
Natural, abundant and renewable, layer hen manure has a centuries-old track record as one of the best natural fertilizers. As long as people eat eggs, there will always be hen manure!
Green and low-energy production
Installed directly in the coops, the equipment developed through Acti-Sol technology captures the heat given off by the hens and uses it to dry the manure. No other heat source is involved. And because drying occurs quickly, no ammonia is formed and released into the atmosphere. Since the dried manure is lighter in weight, less fuel is consumed in transporting it to fertilizer plants.
Local production
Acti-Sol farms and its affiliated farms have their own manure drying equipment and all droppings are dried on site. The raw material comes from southern Québec and eastern Ontario. Unlike oil-based chemical fertilizers, Acti-Sol fertilizers use local resources.

Whether you’re talking about their manufacture or use, Acti-Sol’s natural fertilizers have a greening effect. They re-use an abundant resource instead of relying on non-renewal resources.
