FarmDry™
Livestock Environmental Control from Diatomaceous Earth (DE)
In livestock farming, even a small amount of moisture can lead to significant costs.
FarmDry™ helps control floor moisture in livestock housing to support a more balanced farming environment.
In poultry houses or pig farms, the floor may appear dry in the morning. But beneath the bedding surface, moisture can still accumulate. That hidden moisture is often the starting point of many farm problems. It is similar to soil that looks normal on the surface, but internally begins to lose its structure. As moisture continues to build up, the environment inside the livestock house gradually changes. FarmDry™ was developed to help manage moisture and support environmental control in livestock facilities.
A Challenge Well Known to Farm Operators
Inside livestock houses,
moisture can accumulate easily,
especially beneath the surface of bedding materials.
As moisture increases,
the internal environment of the facility begins to change.
This can lead to several operational challenges.
Operational Impact
Tangible Impact
- Ammonia accumulation
- Reduced animal health conditions
- Lower growth performance
- Increased mortality risk
- Higher animal care costs
Organizational Impact
- Reduced confidence for farm operators
- Fluctuating production results
- Risks related to farm management standards
In livestock farming, small environmental issues that accumulate can become significant costs across an entire production cycle.
The Concept Behind FarmDry™
Efficient farm management does not begin by fixing problems at the end. It begins with controlling the environment of the livestock house floor. Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has a naturally porous microstructure. This structure helps absorb excess moisture and contributes to a more balanced floor condition. DONTUM therefore developed FarmDry™ to support better environmental management in livestock farms.
What is FarmDry™?
is a moisture control material for livestock farms developed from carefully selected diatomaceous earth (DE). It is designed for use in:
- Poultry houses
- Pig farms
- Large-scale livestock facilities
The material can be applied directly to the livestock house floor to help absorb excess moisture and support better floor conditions.
Key Advantages of FarmDry™
Helps Control Floor Moisture Diatomaceous Earth (DE) has a naturally porous structure. This allows it to absorb excess moisture and help reduce environmental conditions that promote ammonia buildup.
Supports a More Balanced Livestock Environment
When the floor becomes drier,
the overall farm environment
tends to become more balanced.
This contributes to improved conditions
for long-term livestock management.
Easy to Use in Farm Systems
FarmDry™ can be used together with common bedding materials.
Farm operators can simply apply the material
in areas where moisture control is needed.
Example Applications
FarmDry™ Suitable for:
- Broiler chicken houses
- Layer chicken houses
- Pig farms
- Large-scale livestock facilities
In many cases, controlling floor moisture helps improve the stability of farm management.
Research & Field Study
FarmDry™ is developed based on the study of the material properties of diatomaceous earth (DE), as well as evaluations conducted in real farm environments.
Research areas include:
- Moisture absorption capability
- Changes in livestock house floor conditions
- Relationships between floor condition and farm environment
The research program involved multi-million-baht investment to develop reliable data that supports farm management decisions. Because in livestock farming, accurate information helps reduce risk throughout the entire production cycle.
