Biochar is basically charcoal made typically from wood. It is made by burning wood with very limited oxygen. That way the volatile gases and such burn of and the carbonized structure of the wood remains.
Feeding it to livestock has shown in studies improved growth performance, better egg yield, ability to resist pathogens and a reduction of methane production. The high absorption capacity of biochar also aids in the removal of toxins from the animals and the farm.
