Abstract
Products and methods for controlling animal wastes are disclosed. The methods include making an inoculum containing a mixture of Bacillus species; mixing the inoculum with animal wastes and then incubating the mixture to result in an enriched culture; and then applying the enriched culture to the animal wastes. The inoculum for controlling wastes includes a mixture of Bacillus species in a liquid medium in which the mixture of Bacillus species were incubated.

A method for controlling animal wastes comprising:
- (a) preparing an inoculum comprising a mixture of Bacillus species and having a selected volume and a cell density of at least about 105 cells/ml;
- (b) mixing the selected volume of the inoculum with about 0.1 to 10 times the selected volume of the animal wastes to be controlled and incubating the resulting mixture at ambient temperatures for about 12 hours to 14 days to result in an enriched culture;
- and
- (c) applying the enriched culture to the animal wastes to be controlled.
An enriched bacterial culture for use in controlling animal wastes, the enriched bacterial culture comprising one volume of a mixture of Bacillus species having a cell density of at least about 105 cells/ml in a liquid medium comprising about 0.1 to 10 volumes of a sample of the animal wastes to be controlled in which the mixture of Bacillus species was cultured for about 12 hours to 14 days.
