One way to improve the soil is  humates.  These usually last from 4-7 years from one application (can apply 100 - 400 lbs/acre).  They hold water, stimulate biology, break down chemicals, hold nutrients so the growing plants have access to these nutrients, break up clay soils, and many other good things.  Global Humic Products out of Sherwood Park, Alberta, CA sells humates - website is  https://www.global-humic.com - They should be able to find a local store in your area to work with. They also have good information on humates at their website.  Do you have earthworms in the soil now?  Do you have a section of your acreage that earthworms can be introduced?  Earthworms will definitely get the soil broke up, pull organic matter down into the soil for the soil microbes to use, and supply calcium, nitrogen, etc. from their castings for the growing plants.  Focus on the organic matter and fungi for the soil as this will change the soil for the better - higher organic matter, improved soil biology functions, etc.  Hope this helps.  Blessings

Switching from Organic to "regular feed" is the cause of stinky poop. The "regular feed" probably has gmo species of corn which has lower nutrition along with toxins produced by the corn due to the gmo effecting the plant process of changing amino acids to proteins.  Formaldehyde and other toxins do show up in gmo corn.  Best is to stay with the Organic feed.  Have you tried adding Organic alfalfa either ground in their feed or placed in their feeding area?  Alfalfa is a cleanser along with providing a protein source, fiber, and other minerals.  Hope this helps in figuring out why the poop stinks.  Blessings

to Xisca Nicolas  - I use Opera for my browser and like it a lot - to  help your liver try milk thistle as it helps detox the liver Blessing

to Xisca Nicolas  When I go to the askaboutvitamins.com website it shows as secured on my computer - on the website click on excellacor and the go to the bottom to find the picture labeled as original run your pointer over the picture and then click on quick view for more information.  Blessings

Bio char works great with microbes.  Also humates - reed sedge peat - are another great source of microbe stimulate, some trace minerals for microbes, will breakdown chemicals in the soil, and will help the soil hold more moisture.  Blessings

Try using a good biological treatment product.  I like Ecological Labs Microbe Life - can buy online - microbelift.com - this will breakdown the waste and reduce the gases.  Biology is necessary to breakdown the waste to "recycle" the nutrients back into the soil for the next plant to use.  Blessings

Have you tried enzyme therapy?  you can go to askaboutvitamins.com and there is a product called Excellacor which is enzymes that will reduce your inflammation - take 3 on empty stomach first thing in the morning.  I had an inflamed knee which I could hardly bend, started enzyme therapy and in 3 to 4 months could bend my knee without pain.  Also cleans the blood.  Blessings

To Ben   Thank you for answering my question  on what it takes for the microbes to make humus.  I feel that the health of the soil is highly dependent on the nutrient cycling of the microbes in the soil working with the plants.  The goal of treating manure is to reduce the toxic gases produced when manure breaks down and hold more nutrients in the liquid to be transferred to the soil.  As for "What the heck is Humius" from what I have read, it sounds like a very fast changing component of the soil biosphere that ends and starts constantly.  Blessings

To Ben  the answer is that there is no living plant roots in these manure pits.  So the living plant root is providing a way to photosynthesis in order to create the necessary condition, chemical transaction, or other unknown needs to make the humus?  

I use liquid carbon 24% made from Reed Sedge Peat when making a biological cultural to treat manure pits and have noticed that the biology in the culture will use the carbon as a food source until I place the culture into a pit.  Since I have increased the rate of carbon in the mix, the culture once in the manure pit really takes off in digesting the manure.    If there is an issue with crusting on the pit, I will have the barn owner spread dry Reed Sedge Peat down through the slats to the top of the crusted manure and this will help reduce the crust over time.   My question is this, do you think that the carbon in the Reed Sedge Peat that is working with the biology in the pit would eventually create some humus when given enough time?  And would that humus bind with the nutrients in the manure to create a stable compost loaded with nutrients that are more soil friendly.
