Feeding Biochar to Livestock

Feeding Biochar to Livestock

Livestock that eat biochar become healthier and more productive, while passing the biochar through into their manure. That black manure becomes a powerful fertilizer, helping biochar improve animal health first and then continue its value in the soil.
