MICROBE-LIFT® technology saves swine farm from forced closure — restoring lagoon function and eliminating downstream odour.
Agrotel swine farm — archived partner study · Moca, Dominican Republic · 1 November 2024
The challenge
Wastewater from the barns drained into a lagoon that percolated through surrounding soil, generating severe downstream odours. Local authorities threatened closure unless the farm could demonstrate odour and discharge control.
The approach
MICROBE-LIFT® biological programme applied under Ecological Laboratories' field methodology to accelerate organic breakdown, control odour generation and restore lagoon biological health.
Results
Prevented
Farm closure
Eliminated
Downstream odour

Regulatory compliance
When a farm faces closure, the stakes go beyond compliance — livelihoods depend on it. This case shows how biological treatment can rescue operations that are running out of options. Eco Balance Ltd provides the same crisis-response programmes for farms across the UK and Ireland.
