How Your Pigs Benefit from
Biochar:
- Reduced mortality rates (e.g. tail biting)
- Lower stress levels in animals
- Strengthened immune system
- Improved piglet health and survival rates
- Improved food intake and nutrient utilization
- Increased activity of important liver enzymes
- Reduction of mycotoxins and aflatoxins concentrations
- Reduction of hoof diseases
- Fewer intestinal and diarrheal diseases
- Lower fungal contamination in feed, leading to fewer animal health issues
- Improved stable hygiene and odor pollution
- Binding of ammonia in the barn
- Increase feed efficiency with better weight gain
- Improved meat quality
- Extended lifespan of bedding material in barns
- Reduced veterinary costs
- Lower feed costs (due to increased feed efficiency)
- Extended animal productivity (reducing costs per unit produced)
- Lower methane emissions (cost savings on CO2 taxes)
- Improved stable hygiene (reducing the need for expensive ventilation systems)
- Lower bedding costs (biochar binds moisture and extends bedding usability)
- Potential subsidies and funding programs

Promote animal well-being, reduce costs, and increase yields with QS-certified feed-grade biochar from BioChar, made from A1-grade wood chips. Our organic feed biochar can be easily mixed with all types of feed and supplements—no need to change your existing feed regimen.
Key Data:
Water content < 3%, carbon content > 93%, specific weight approx. 90 kg per m³, specific surface area approx. 450 m² per gram of feed charcoal, grain size 0 – 5 mm, QS-certified
QUALITY PROMISE
Our Promise:
The Highest Quality for Your Animal
Our BioChar organic feed charcoal for animals is already characterized by its strictly controlled production process. As the health of the animals correlates with the quality of the feed charcoal, the control of quality standards in this area is a top priority. The production of our organic feed charcoal is therefore strictly separated from other production chains. We only use pure, natural coniferous wood, preferably pine or spruce from German forestry operations, as our raw material. The sustainable forest management of these operations is certified to the highest standards. The use of biogenic waste as a biochar raw material or an admixture of this is expressly excluded.
Studies Have Been Confirming the
Benefits of Biochar for Years:
Several studies on the use of bamboo biochar in pigs show that a supplement of 0.3% biochar increased weight growth by 17.5%. Higher dosages did not lead to significant differences. Biochar improved meat quality and fatty acid composition, and in some studies was able to maintain the growth rate otherwise achieved by antibiotics. – Chu et al. 2013c
Biochar improved growth rates and feed efficiency while reducing harmful gas emissions and fecal microflora in finishing pigs. In addition, biochar can protect pigs from infections and reduce stress due to decreased cortisol concentration and increased IgG concentration in serum or blood cells in fattening pigs. Biochar is expected to improve pig production due to the improved gastrointestinal environment of fattening pigs. -Chu, G. M., Kim, J. H., Kim, H. Y., Ha, J. H., Jung, M. S., Song, Y., … Song, Y. M. (2013)
