TECHNOLOGY FOCUS - PHARMACEUTICALS - Preferred Composition: The composition (C1) includes non indigenous, gram positive, heterotrophic bacteria; and water to create constant pH mixture; and an alkaline soluble, oxidized humic acid/humate. The composition is diluted with water in ratio of 1:9. The pH of the composition begins to increase as the bacillus bacteria enter the log growth stage.Preferred Method: The treatment (M1) further involves adding water such that a constant pH mixture is formed. The added bacteria are adsorbed onto the humic acid surface. The composition begins to release ammonia. The composition is sprayed onto the surface of the poultry bedding. The concentration of indigenous bacteria is lower after the composition is added to the litter than it was prior to the addition of the composition. The litter bed sits for a humic acid concentration dependant time to allow substantially complete gassing off. The available nitrogen has either dissipated as ammonia gas or been tied up as complex, water insoluble nitrogen compounds. Chicks are introduced to the sprayed bedding. The poultry chicks scratch the surface of the bedding. The scratching mixes the surface only humic acid with subsurface litter and fresh manure.In (M2), the ambient temperature is greater than 40degreesF and at a quantity sufficient to stimulate ammonia production and maintain pH of 8.5 -10; the heterotrophic bacteria are adsorbed onto the humic substance surface at a pH of 8.9 - 9.5; the humic substances are adsorbed on the indigenous bacteria surface, including ammonia producing bacteria and pathogens; the microorganisms with adsorbed humic substance grow rapidly when substrate and oxygen are available; the ammonia producing bacteria grow rapidly by consuming nitrogen-rich substrate and simultaneously producing ammonia; the poultry chicks are introduced to the poultry barn; the poultry chicks feed and grow, providing new nitrogen-rich substrate and moisture; the heterotrophic bacteria, feeding on the ammonia producing bacteria, produce carbon dioxide; the carbon dioxide dissolves in the poultry-produced water, creating bicarbonate, which buffers the pH to 8; and the bicarbonate is the carbon source for bacteria which convert ammonia into nitrite-then-nitrate. In (M3) additional 9 parts water are added to the mixture to make 10 parts; the composition (5 - 10 ppm) is applied to the head works of the wastewater treatment system or to an anaerobic waste lagoon; and the preserved bacteria enter exponential growth simultaneously.Preferred Substance: The humic substance is Carboxx (RTM: humic substance), available from Microganics, LLC, Southlake, Tex. ACTIVITY - None given.    MECHANISM OF ACTION - Microbial growth stimulator.    No biological data given.    EXAMPLE - Known bacterial growth inhibitors were mixed with non indigenous, gram positive, bacillus bacteria and water to form mixture (m1). (m1) and alkaline-soluble, oxidized humic acid/humate were mixed with additional water such that constant pH mixture (m2) was formed. (m2) was distributed to the point of use. At or near the point of use, one part of the mixture (m2) was added to 9 parts water to make 10 parts mixture (m3). The mixture (m3) was sprayed on the litter bed. The humic acid (a1) was Carboxx (RTM: humic substance), available from Microganics, LLC, Southlake, Tex. The pH was 9.3. To the mixture (m1) (5 gallons) was added (a1) (65 gallons) and water (195 gallons) to make mixture (m2). (m2) was mixed with water to make mixture (m3) (2650 gallons). (m3) was sprayed on the litter bed at a rate of 0.45 gallons/1000 ft2. The bacilli were preserved in lag growth. When the humic acid was added, some of the humic acid fragments adsorb onto the bacteria. When (m2) was diluted 10-fold, the preservative system was destroyed and the bacteria begin to grow rapidly. This growth was reduced because there was limited substrate.
