André FRANQUES, stock breeder in Aveyron department
« I am probably the first historical customer of the SOBAC and I have been for 20 years . Hundreds of farmers have come to see my work methods and have been surprised by my economic of results. The Bactériosol® - Bactériolit® concept allowed me to obtain a regular, more abundant and more appetizing fodder production, to arrange my work time for the better, to decrease the purchase of inputs. Moreover, over the last 3 years, we have observed that the meadows started again much better in the autumn in spite of the drought.
GAEC de Beauséjour, stock breeder Prim'Holstein and pigs in Limousin department
« We saw our grounds decay, our corn which didn’t get to maturity […] our grounds were blocked, first we tried only Bactériosol® on our meadows ; as of the first year, the grass wasn’t the same. Before, for a quota of 450,000 litres of milk, we needed 104 ac of corn, today we need between 74 and 84 ac for 550,000 litres of milk. The use of these products has facilitated our work and life. Today, we have spectacular effects thanks to Bactériosol® - Bactériolit® process. »
Bertrand CAYREL, stock breeder of Limousine cows in Lozère department
« I noticed that using this process allowed me to drop my veterinary expenses particularly regarding cases of calf diarrhoea. The Bactériolit® is a natural solution. This concept puts everything back in its natural order ; there is a real balance ground / animal. »
Bernard PHELIPPON, President of Pardaillan CETA
« I have tested many products […]. I noted that the long-haired young plants were more developed with Bactériosol and as a result allowed a better resistance to the drought but also that seeds germinate better, which meant an economy of seeds because today, instead of using 180 kg of seeds, I use only 110.
I noticed that on 12 farms, which had been using the product for at least 3 years, the CEC (capacity of cationic exchange) was multiplied by 2. This technique is therefore more profitable than the use of manures and allows us to make savings (fewer seeds to be bought, subsidies thanks to CTE). »
Jean-Pierre DUCLOS, Blondes Aquitaines selector in Haute Garonne department
« Concept Bactériosol has been part of my life for more than 12 years. Why?
En conclusion, grâce au concept Bactériosol, j’ai pu allier la génétique et l’équilibre des fourrages par le sol pour des résultats économiques très intéressants. »
Pascal MARATRAT, Charolais breeder in Allier department
« I have been using Bactériosol ® and Bactériolit ® for 7 - 8 years. These products have allowed me not to use either amendments or chemical manures any more for all these years. The major interest of the Bactériolit ® is to compost manure directly in sheds without having to manipulate it, then spread it directly over the meadows even when the animals are there since it does not bother their grazing. And I use Bactériosol directly on the land, just like manure, which replaces chemical manures such as nitrogen, potash and amendments. »
EARL des POCHATS (Mr.PAPIN), Normandes breeder in the Allier department
« Since the installation of the SOBACconcept, we have optimized the results of our herd as much as possible to attain the self-management of our farm. Thanks to Bactériosol ® and Bactériolit ® we promote all our farm manures and we succeed in fertilizing our whole farm for the same budget while respecting environment, which was not the case before, with the conventional system. For 2 years we have accomplished the silage of rye ; it is harvested at the end of June before the very hot season and guarantees the fodder system. it is an appetizing product with a value close to that of corn. We have also opted for the ten-plant meadows recommended by SOBAC and thanks to which there is no more competition between plants and as a result less dirtying. The use of this concept also allows us to spin out our temporary meadows, and we point out fewer refusals in the pasture. Little by little we reduce the part of corn silage in the ration of the milk cows, without any drop in production per cow. ¾ of the oxen sold are fattened with grass, which was the opposite before. The slurry gets less acid. Bactériolit ® allows a homogeneous compost with a big value without any mechanical intervention. It is also easier to spread. We noticed a better rooting of the corn and a better behaviour of cultures faced with dryness. No more fungicide, weedkiller, or P and K manures are used and we lime our plots no more . Today, work is more easily spread over the whole year and the expense per hectare is € 52.
