Why didn't fermentation beds take off in Japan? Japanese livestock scholars confirm it themselves
Japanese livestock scholars confirm themselves that fermentation beds have not been promoted in Japan
When talking with three livestock scholars from Shinshu University, Kyushu University and Tohoku University respectively, we discussed the application of fermentation beds in Japan. They said that fermentation beds were an idea put forward by Japanese microbiologists, but they were never recognized by Japanese farmers and have not been promoted in Japan.
Livestock People Editorial Department: From being highly sought after at birth to being controversial after various inherent defects were discovered in practical application, fermentation bed pig farming technology has long attracted the attention of people in the breeding industry. Is there a farm near you that uses fermentation beds? How effective is it? What do you think of this technology? Everyone is welcome to speak up!
--------------------------------------
Japan has done a lot of work on the utilization of microorganisms
--------------------------------------
The fermentation bed issue is no different from the EM technology of more than the past ten years. I think there is a lot of research, but the practical application value is not very great. Because these technologies are about beneficial microbial communities.
--------------------------------------
But in China it is very popular, right?
--------------------------------------
Besides Japan, other countries also use it. I heard someone in Canada uses it.

It is mainly used more in cold regions.
--------------------------------------
Have we been fooled?
--------------------------------------
Chinese people are quite good at hyping concepts, but few truly do solid industrial work
--------------------------------------
Why hasn't it developed?
--------------------------------------
There is no way. Many experts and professors have become spokespeople for interests.
Right now there are a few (brick experts) (beast professors) hyping Berkshire pigs, one costs 15,000 to 20,000 yuan, and the cheaper ones cost more than 9,000 yuan. My boss has already decided to buy a few back to "improve" the pigs on our farm.

As a pig farmer, with only a half-understanding of the Berkshire breed, it is somewhat rash to just believe the statements of certain experts
--------------------------------------
Several were built in our Kaifeng area. The actual use process was not ideal, and they were converted into cement slatted floors.

Personally, I think it must solve the following problems:
1. The contradiction between it and the use of disinfectants and antibiotics on pig farms: in a highly intensive breeding environment, how to effectively cut off the spread of pathogens such as mycoplasma, pseudorabies, and swine fever, or purify these pathogens within the area, otherwise, once disease breaks out, doomsday for the pig farm will arrive.
2. The contradiction between its requirements for pig density and intensive production: labor costs, pen costs, and especially land occupation.
--------------------------------------
The cost is too high, making it difficult to promote
