<p>Pruex work in Ireland the EU, the UK and Africa helping farmers keep animals healthy and contribute beneficially to the environment. Healthy animals, lead to healthy muck and healthy soils. Healthy animals don't need antibiotics. Healthy aerobic muck and slurry ensure better air quality with reductions in volatilisation of ammonia and methane, and denitrification of toxic nitrous oxide. Healthy soil is also vital for healthy rivers and oceans, and is key in our strategy to capture carbon from the atmosphere.This strategy ensures healthy plants and soil biodiversity which are vital to the survival of small birds and mammals.</p>

<p>Pruex help farmers produce food and other products in both sustainable and environmentally beneficial ways, replacing heavy pollutive chemicals with natural bacteria which originate from soil and water. Pruex add more nature into the farms by means of substituting chemicals with biological products. Modern chemistry knowledge has resulted in our environment being bombarded by man made chemistry, but Pruex is changing this scenario. Pruex use bacterial detergents, products containing good bacteria that keep animal muck and soils aerobic, full of oxygen and life. This helps plants develop deep roots which improves the soil so that it can hold more water, nitrogen, phosphorus, carbon and oxygen. This prevents the soil from becoming too acidic and from releasing toxic nitrous oxide and ammonia. Reducing nitrogen and phosphorous leaching to the river is key to the health of all waterways. <iframe width="560" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/322WJDnByjA?si=y2FFhb3uyIi3Hjcy" title="YouTube video player" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen=""></iframe> Sustainability and the circular economy were the norm for many of our grandparents in Europe. With technological advancement, and a drive towards a linear economy, we've unintentionally polluted our air, rivers, oceans and soils. Pruex is helping small, medium and large farmers to rebuild sustainable industries based on the circular economy.</p>

<p>Biology has the answer to our environmental pollution issues and oxygen is really important. We have to keep animal muck aerobic, soil aerobic, and our waterways aerobic if we want to ensure agriculture doesn't pollute the air, soil or water, and continues to thrive as an industry in an environmentally beneficial manner. Pruex has the expertise that enables farmers to achieve aerobic excellence in their guardianship of soil.</p>
<p>In 2015, Aled Rhys Davies, our founder, set out on a two year international travel scholarship awarded by the Nuffield Farming Scholarship Trust. He studied antibiotic use in agriculture in Europe, Oceana, and Northern America. He realised that the use of chemicals in agriculture led to sick animals, sick waterways and soils. He realised that the issues of algae blooms in rivers and oceans, greenhouse gas and ammonia release from muck, slurry and human sludge, and the high velocity of increase in antimicrobial resistance (AMR), were all linked. The answer to all of these issues relies on keeping animal (including human), muck, waterways and soils aerobic. He founded Pruex in 2016 with the aim of leading the fight against AMR and environmental pollution. Eight years later, Pruex has developed internationally with operations in the EU and Africa.
