Septic Tank Treatment.
"To whom it may concern,
Prior to using the Biobugs International septic tank
treatment, we had been troubled by a bad smell coming from
the out-flow from our septic tank. This smell completely
vanished after we used the product and the smell has never
come back. Four months later we administered a follow-up
treatment with continued success. We would definitely
recommend the use of this product to any one who has a
troublesome septic tank for the treatment of outflow. We
received excellent service from our local agent."

Dairy Effluent Treatment
"Directors of BioBugs International Ltd
We have been taking part in a trial to test the effectiveness of
the product as supplied by BioBugs International Ltd that has been
applied to our dairy effluent system on our farm at Ota Creek.
The first dosing of the pond was carried out on 17th July 2006 and
further treatments have been carried out at monthly intervals. The pond
had not had any dairy shed waste added since the herd was dried off at
the end of May 2006. The pond still received rainwater discharge from
the dairy shed roof and yards during the winter months.
A few weeks after treatment, we noticed that aquatic wildlife (ducks in
particular) were returning to the pond, which is a good sign. By early
November, in the first season of the trial, our travelling irrigator had
covered about 65% of the paddock that the irrigator was in and my son
pointed out that the cows had really eaten the grass much harder on the
land sprayed with treated effluent.
At the start of the trail my son was very skeptical about the
effectiveness of a litre of BioBugs being poured into a large pond.
Until soil test results come in, we have no positive proof that the
BioBugs are changing the soil conditions that would cause the grass on
the treated land to be more palatable. The herd was in the paddock two
nights, and when photographing the area there was quite a visible line
between the treated land and the untreated land.
While we can see the difference the treatment has made to the land, we
can only rely on the lab test results to verify that the BioBugs are
doing their job in the effluent pond.
When we moved the irrigator to a new paddock last season we began to see
the results almost immediately. A visitor to the site wondered why we
strip grazed our paddock from north to south, when the logical way would
be from east to west. It was quickly pointed out to him that in fact,
the electric fence was placed east-west and what he was seeing was the
difference between the irrigated and unirrigated land.
Our pond has the discharge pipe from the dairy placed too close to the
irrigator pump. We think that when we move the pipe outlet to the far
end of the pond, the Biobugs will have more time to do their job. We
have now removed the grass and crust that were present during the early
part of the trial and it will be interesting to see how effective
Biobugs are at keeping the crust from forming again.
Even with the short time that the Biobugs have to work in our present
setup, we are delighted with the huge reduction in odour coming from our
pond.
We can also confirm the effectiveness of the Biobugs in reducing the
odour from our household septic tank. Rosina poured a sample of Biobugs
into the septic tank (via the toilet). The results were almost immediate
and the odour has not returned since.
With the new rules for applying dairy effluent to pasture at lower rates
than has been previously been permitted, we see BioBugs being a great
tool to make full use of the nutrients applied to the land."

"To the directors of Biobugs International Ltd.
We have been using the dairy effluent treatment of Biobugs International
Ltd since October, 2007.
This company has treated our effluent ponds, by installing an automatic
daily dosing pump and timer system. This is a time saver. We are
confident that our effluent system is being treated correctly, without
us (the owner of the ponds) needing to do anything.
The treated effluent is benefiting the soil. We have noticed that there
is quicker re-growth and better palatability and our cows eat the
sprayed areas evenly leaving no tufts behind. We have also been able to
graze pastures 3 - 5 days after spraying using the K-line system and we
have not had any blockages of our pipe work.
The odour has been eliminated from the ponds. We have also sprayed
beside the house and we have not noticed any odour, which is very
pleasing to us.
The results are even better than we expected and we are particularly
pleased with the better root growth and soil structure.
We are very happy with their product and we recommend this product to
the dairy community.
The service of Biobugs International has been outstanding. Monthly
servicing is done regularly and efficiently and without us being
required to do anything. Sometimes the only way we know that they have
been here is by the business card they leave behind."

The following are very recent comments received from two
clients who would be very happy to discuss the benefits of our product.
We have cut our herd by 7%, but regardless of this, compared to
October 2007:
- We are up 5.1% in volume for October with milk fat up 2.9%
and protein up 7.9%
- November: fat 9.6%; protein 13.6%; ms 11.3%; milk volume
7.4%
- Cycling is better - 34 a day with the vet not being used.
(On our other unit next door we are only doing 15 a day, with the
vet needing to attend regularly*)
- Cows lost their winter coats and have good shiny coats now.
- Bloat is not a problem. We lost a few last year.
*The farm owner has more than one unit - the
reference to "Next door" is a unit that is not being treated by Biobugs.

Compared to October 2007:-
Milk is up 27% for October and up 21% for the season.
Our milk solid target was 18,000Kg. We are currently at 21,950 and we
haven't peaked yet.
Biobugs is the best thing I have ever seen.
Off 4.7Ha we have taken 82 bales (4,900Kg of dry matter)
Off 5.6 Ha we took 102 bales.
The baleage is all leaf - no seed heads.
The paddock that previously wouldn't grow anything is now producing
grass equivalent to, if not better than the two above.
