When raising pigs on a fermented bed, there are several important factors to consider. Using Jinbao's fermentation bed system as an example, here are key points to keep in mind: (1) **Control the density of the pigs**. Overcrowding can reduce the effectiveness of the fermentation process. It's recommended to provide 1.2 to 1.5 square meters per pig. For piglets, a slightly higher density may be acceptable. (2) **Maintain proper moisture levels**. The fermentation bed should not be too dry. A certain level of humidity helps microorganisms thrive. If it becomes too dry, you can spray water or an active agent solution onto the bed to maintain the right balance. Too much dryness can lead to respiratory issues in pigs. (3) **Regular deworming is essential**. Parasites can affect the health of the pigs and interfere with the fermentation process. Avoid introducing infected pigs into the bed, as they might ingest worms while feeding on the microbial hyphae. (4) **Monitor microbial activity**. Some self-collected strains may require additional active agents to function properly. However, professional strains like Kimbrough’s Fermentative Strains usually work effectively without extra additives, simplifying the process. If the wood chips in the bed become thin, you should add more microbial cultures or active agent solutions. (5) **Control the amount of feed given**. To allow the pigs to naturally turn over the material in the bed, feed them about 80% of their usual amount. Pigs typically defecate and urinate in specific areas, so managers can dig pits and spread waste evenly for better decomposition. (6) **Check the humidity of the bedding**. The moisture content in the central fermentation layer should be kept between 50-60%. If it gets too wet, open vents or use airflow to reduce it. You can also add sawdust to lower the moisture level. If it's too dry, mist the bed or apply a nutrient solution. (7) **Avoid chemical drugs and antibiotics**. These can kill beneficial microorganisms in the fermentation bed, reducing its efficiency. It's best to consult the official website or contact experts for more detailed guidance. By following these practices, you can ensure a healthy and efficient fermentation bed system for your pigs.
