What are the benefits of raising black fragrant pigs on a dry-sprinkle fermentation bed?

The fragrant pig, also known as the “mini pig”, is famous nationwide for its small body, early maturity and delicious meat. The fragrant pig has thin skin and fine meat, a carcass with plenty of lean meat, bright red muscle, a delicate sweet fragrance and rich nutrition; even when cooked without adding any seasoning it gives off an appetizing aroma. Its meat has a protein content as high as 21.8%, which is 31.1% to 70% higher than that of ordinary pigs; its fat content is low, only 18.86% to 28.10% that of ordinary pigs, and its calorie content is also lower, at 60.85% to 76.1% that of ordinary pigs.

In addition, it is also rich in amino acids and trace elements essential to the human body. Therefore, even though fragrant pork sells at a high price, it is still very popular. Especially pigs raised on a dry-sprinkle fermentation bed have better meat quality and a richer, more fragrant taste, and are even more favored by people. According to the person in charge of the Tianjin Yijunsheng Pig Breeding Cooperative, since their cooperative adopted dry-sprinkle fermentation bed breeding technology, not only is pig raising less laborious and more profitable, but it is also more ecological and more environmentally friendly. The specific benefits of raising black fragrant pigs on a dry-sprinkle fermentation bed are shown in the following aspects: 1. Deodorizing, environmentally friendly and zero emissions. Under the action of functional bacteria, part of the fragrant pig manure and urine is degraded into odorless gases that are released, such as water vapor and CO2; the other part is converted into nutrients such as crude protein, bacterial protein and vitamins. This eliminates the pollution of manure and urine to the ecological environment at the source, making the pen odorless and achieving zero emissions. 2. Energy-saving, grain-saving and low input. The heat produced by fermentation in the bed keeps the surface temperature at around 20-plus degrees whether in winter or summer, which can save more than half of coal and electricity. Under the action of beneficial bacteria, the manure, urine and bedding are degraded to form bacterial protein and a variety of beneficial substances that are rooted up and eaten by the fragrant pigs. This satisfies both the fragrant pigs' habit of rooting for food and their requirement for eating more roughage. With waste recycled, about 20-30% of feed can be saved. 3. Disease resistance, growth promotion and healthy pigs. Through physical adsorption, chemical neutralization and the biochemical action of the fermentation process, the fermentation bed bedding eliminates the odorous substances in the manure and urine. Fragrant pigs living long-term in an environment with large numbers of beneficial bacteria and a fresh pen environment show markedly improved disease resistance and rarely get sick (for example, fragrant pigs raised on fermentation beds basically do not get foot-and-mouth disease, or if they are occasionally infected they recover quickly, unlike cement pens where malignant transmission continues). They grow healthily, each pig can save 5-8 yuan in medical costs, growth goes smoothly, and they can even be sent to market early. 4. Water-saving, labor-saving and easier work. When raising fragrant pigs on a dry-sprinkle fermentation bed, the manure has already been decomposed and transformed by Jinbao beneficial bacteria, so there is no need to clean out manure or flush the pen, which can save more than 90% of water. Work that previously took three people can now be completed easily by one person, saving time and effort. 5. Improved quality and higher selling price. Raising fragrant pigs on a dry-sprinkle fermentation bed lets the fragrant pigs live on a soft and comfortable “bed”, eliminating their tension on cement floors. They grow lively and healthy, use little or almost no medicine, and drug residues can be greatly reduced or even eliminated, making the meat quality of the fragrant pigs better, the taste better, and the selling price higher.
