How to Make a Fermentation Bed for Pig Farming? Detailed Production Methods and Steps

AbstractMaterials: You need to buy bedding material, microbial bacteria and mixed feed. Laying the fermentation bed: cover about 80% of the area with the materials, with a thickness of about 0.8 m, and stir the bedding material, microbial bacteria and mixed feed evenly so that they ferment fully; this can provide a warm environment for the pigs, while the remaining 20% is left as the pigs' feeding area and resting area. Management: regularly clean out the nutrients that have already fermented; if the weather is very dry, the environment should be humidified appropriately, and if it is too damp, ventilation should be carried out appropriately.

The fermentation bed for pig farming is a very scientific method in current breeding technology. The production of the fermentation bed is generally carried out in three steps. First, all the materials need to be purchased, and it is better to buy according to your economic budget as the standard. Next is the production of the fermentation bed; in this process it is best to use a mixer, which will save effort. Finally, there is the management of the fermentation bed; because it saves effort, the cost is not high.

1. Purchasing Materials

The materials for the pig farming fermentation bed are bedding material, microbial bacteria and mixed feed, these three kinds of feed. Because the prices differ, you can choose and buy according to your own economic situation; if you want a relatively high utilization rate, it is best to buy more nutritious grain when purchasing the mixed feed.

2. Laying the Fermentation Bed

1. It is best to cover about 80% of the area with the materials, as this can provide a warm environment for the pigs. About 20% of the space needs to be left as the area for the pigs to eat and the place for the pigs to cool off in summer.

2. When laying the fermentation bed, the bedding material, microbial bacteria and mixed feed, these three kinds of feed, need to be stirred evenly so that they can ferment fully, and the thickness is best at about 0.8 m, so that materials do not need to be added frequently.

3. Fermentation Bed Management

1. The management of the fermentation bed is relatively easy. While providing feed for the pigs at irregular intervals, you only need to manage the pigs' feed trough well and add some consumed materials; frequent addition is not needed, but the nutrients that have already fermented need to be cleaned out.

2. Pay attention to controlling the humidity of the fermentation bed. If the weather in summer is very dry and the moisture of the fermentation bed evaporates, the environment should be humidified appropriately. If it is too damp in autumn and winter, ventilation should be carried out appropriately.
