flag Australia’s Mort & Co turns cattle manure into high-value, microbe-rich fertiliser, reducing synthetic use and boosting soil health.

flag Mort and Co, Australia’s largest privately owned feedlot, is turning cattle manure into advanced, microbe-rich fertiliser granules at its Grassdale facility in southern Queensland. flag After a five-year development, the company uses a 13-week microbial ageing process to create 4mm granules—compatible with standard farm equipment—that deliver nutrients immediately, reduce reliance on synthetic fertilisers, and boost soil health. flag The granules, part of the Terrus and Terrus Pro lines, contain live microbes, humic acid, and up to 30% carbon, enhancing root growth, nitrogen use, and soil moisture retention. flag A $10 million upgrade will increase annual production to 130,000 tonnes by early 2026, with tailored blends like Terrus Pro In-X. flag Field trials show higher grain yields and improved soil carbon, while the process converts 100,000 tonnes of manure yearly into a product equivalent to four times its composted value.
