George Washington Carver has been a hero of mine since I was a child. He wrote a pamphlet in the early 1900's titled "Help for the Hard Times". It was written to help struggling farmers with tips for their farms to perform better. We have taken a lesson from this and decided that our ability to help struggling poultry farmers is what motivates us.
We want to provide "Help for the Hard Times"
It truly feels good to know that we are helping growers find solutions to poultry health issues. In this line of work we often talk to farm owners who feel that they are on the brink of disaster financially. They are searching for something to help.
- To help grow a larger bird.
- To help increase feed conversion
- To help reduce mortality
- To help pay the bills
The following is a testimonial of a grower in North Alabama (Pilgrims) who was searching for "Help".
"Our Farm is 9 years old. We purchased it 2 years ago. At that time we did not know that the farm had a history of poor performance. In fact the farm had never placed above average or "+"in the whole 7 years. As a grower I felt that I could do better than that. Our first flock was a +1 and it has been down hill ever since. We are currently ranked close to the bottom of all the farms in our complex. The techs and broiler managers have not been able to pinpoint any deficiency in management nor equipment. After 2 years of being below average, finances were tight and the thought of giving up and selling the farm had started to sound good. Big Ole Bird and Litter Life have been a game changer for us. This last flock, our birds were very healthy and we placed 2nd in a strong week with a 9.53 lb bird with a 2.03 F.C. +66 points and over $12000 more than our previous flock. The only significant change would be the addition of the Southland Organics poultry health program with Big Ole Bird and Litter Life."
These are the stories that drive us to do what we do.
The traditional methods for dealing with many of the major diseases that effect poultry have been virtually eliminated in a very short amount of time. This has many farmers left holding the short end of the stick. Keeping the birds healthy on the farm is one of the biggest challenges that a commercial grower faces. In this new climate of NAE (no antibiotics ever), ABF (antibiotic free), and Organic production, there are few options once a bird gets sick.
When it comes to bird health, I am completely convinced that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Southland Organics offers products that are proving to be some of the best tools that a commercial grower can use to help provide that ounce of prevention.
What about BOB?
BOB is a probiotic that has been enhanced with a very rich source of humic and fulvic acids as well as activated carbon. The ingredients are simple, BOB ingredients . It just makes sense to me that if you can provide a better, safer, healthier way of raising birds, then why not incorporate this into your program. This product is helping many farmers to work through these new challenges in a safe effective way.
Check out the video below, as my buddy Allen Reynolds explains BOB.
What is Litter Life and What does it do?
Litter Life is a non-corrosive liquid poultry litter treatment that provides ammonia control and forms a biological barrier for poultry houses and litter beds. Our poultry litter treatment is a patented liquid formula specifically designed to improve the management of poultry by reducing ammonia and pathogens thereby increasing poultry health. Unlike most litter amendments, Litter Life is organic and safe to use and does not employ the use of toxic chemicals. Our poultry litter treatment promotes poultry welfare by using safe and natural methods.
Litter Life and BOB are a powerful combination that can help growers fight disease, protect their flocks, and ultimately provide a better product to the consumer.
