ANIMAL FARMING OPERATIONS

Smarter Nutrient Solutions
For Animal Farm Operations

Animal farm operations are a critical part of global food systems. From livestock and poultry to integrated aquaculture, animal farming activities generate essential food products but also produce excess nutrients as part of daily operations.

Nutrients from animal waste, feed inputs, and unutilized fertilizers often move beyond where they are needed. When nutrients are not efficiently captured, they can contribute to pollution, lost productivity, and long-term soil and water challenges.

PhosLocker supports animal farming operations by helping capture and manage nutrients more effectively using a subtractive, chemistry-based approach.

WHAT IS ANIMAL PRODUCTION
IN AGRICULTURE?

Animal production in agriculture refers to the process of raising animals for food, fiber, and other products.
This includes cattle, poultry, swine, fish, and other species raised through structured farming operations.

What is animal farming at its core? It is a system that combines land, water, feed, labor, and infrastructure to support animal growth. As animals are fed and managed, nutrients move through the animal farming process and exit as waste, runoff, or unused inputs.

Efficient animal operation farm management practices focus on controlling where these nutrients go and how they are reused.

NUTRIENT CHALLENGES IN MODERN FARMING OPERATIONS

Modern farming operations, including concentrated animal farming operations, often operate at a scale where nutrient accumulation becomes difficult to manage.

Common challenges include nutrient buildup from manure, uneaten feed, and fertilizer applications that exceed uptake rates. These nutrients can move into soils, holding ponds, or adjacent waterways if not managed carefully.

Aquaculture systems face similar pressures. Nutrients generated during fish and shellfish production are difficult to fully capture, especially in open or semi-open systems.

Finding sustainable ways to manage nutrients is essential to long-term animal production.

HOW PHOSLOCKER SUPPORTS
ANIMAL FARMING METHODS

PhosLocker uses a subtractive nutrient capture technology that targets excess nutrients rather than adding more inputs to the system. By binding nutrients into a stable form, PhosLocker helps reduce nutrient mobility and loss.

This approach supports animal farming methods that aim to recycle nutrients back into productive use. Instead of treating nutrients as waste, PhosLocker helps retain them within the operation where they can be managed more efficiently.

The result is reduced nutrient pollution and improved
nutrient control across animal farm operations.

SOIL, WATER, AND SYSTEM EFFICIENCY BENEFITS

When nutrients are lost from animal farming activities, soil systems become less efficient and require additional inputs over time. Capturing excess nutrients helps soils hold nutrients more effectively, supporting consistent productivity now and in the future.

In water-based systems, including aquaculture and runoff containment areas, nutrient capture improves water quality stability and reduces downstream impacts.

PhosLocker helps animal operations improve nutrient efficiency without changing core production practices.

APPLICATIONS ACROSS
ANIMAL FARMING SYSTEMS

PhosLocker can be applied within a wide range of animal farming
operations, including:

Livestock and poultry farming operations

Manure and waste management systems

Runoff and retention areas

Aquaculture production systems

Integrated crop and animal production models

These applications support better nutrient control without disrupting daily
animal farming jobs or workflows.

Sustainable Food Production

Supporting Sustainable
Animal Agriculture

What is animal production if not the foundation of food security? Food production must continue to meet global demand, but it must also evolve to become more sustainable and resource-efficient.
PhosLocker plays an integral role by supporting nutrient recycling and reducing nutrient losses that impact both the environment and farm economics. Its chemistry helps animal farming operations move toward long-term sustainability while maintaining productivity.
Sustainable solutions are essential to the future of animal agriculture and responsible food production.

WHAT ARE THE BASIC FARM
OPERATIONS THIS SUPPORTS?

PhosLocker aligns with basic farm operations such as nutrient management, waste handling, soil conditioning, and water quality protection.

By improving how nutrients are captured and reused, animal operation farm management practices become more efficient and resilient over time.

Next Steps For Animal Farm Operations

Animal farming methods continue to evolve as operations seek better balance between
production and sustainability. PhosLocker offers a practical tool to support that transition.

Our team works with animal farm operations to design nutrient management strategies that fit
existing systems and long-term goals.
