Application of eco-cushioning technology in animal husbandry

Provincial science and technology project: "Replicating ecological cushioning models in livestock and poultry breeding" implemented by Bac Giang Center for Scientific and Technological Application Progress since April 2011 to now In the area of ​​Yen The and Tan Yen districts, there are many benefits.

279 households in Dong Tam, Phon Xuong and Tan Hiep communes of Yen The district and Lien Chung and Lien Son communes of Tan Yen district were selected to participate in pig and chicken breeding model using bio-padding technology. Thai

In addition, the agency in charge of the project also organized technical training on ecological cushioning and certification for 30 agricultural and veterinary extension workers and farmer households; organized 10 training courses to transfer ecological padding technology for 750 turns of project participants.

In Lien Chung and Lien Son Son communes of Tan Yen district, 50 households participated in the model of raising pig meat with ecological padding with the scale of 1,000m2 of breeding facilities.

Through monitoring and analysis showed that pigs raised on ecological gels increased weight better, were less infected and had less recurrence than pigs raised on cement cages.

The reason is that animal husbandry on ecological padding has created a good, clean, non-polluting sub-climate environment; The impact of beneficial microorganisms in fermentation padding has caused inhibition and destruction of pathogenic bacteria in the barn.

Comparing specifically with control pigs, the herd of pigs raised on ecological padding has reduced by more than half the number of children suffering from diarrhea, almost no children have respiratory disease, the ability to gain weight also better.

Meanwhile, the model of raising chicken and layer chicken with ecological padding in the communes of Tan Hiep, Dong Tam and Phon Xuong of Yen The district with the scale of 12,500m 2 of barns of 229 households also gives the results. positive results.

When using fermented padding substrate microorganisms, feces and waste are decomposed regularly, making the barn air more clean and dry, thereby improving the survival rate of chickens.

Compared with the control, the flock of chicken raised on the ecological padding has reduced about 1/3 of the diseases of respiratory, digestive and some other diseases.

Assessment of some technical and environmental indicators also showed that the concentration of NH 3 , H 2 S emissions in chicken and pig cages by ecological padding was 2.67-3 times lower than that of cages. not using eco-cushioning foundation, thus significantly reducing environmental pollution in livestock.

In addition to the above advantages, the breeding of ecological cushioning technology also helps to reduce about 80% of labor due to during the process of raising the farmers without having to clean the barn; reducing electricity costs, buying veterinary drugs; Do not pollute the barn environment as well as the surrounding environment.

Breeding ecological cushioning also helps keep pets warm in the winter, thus reducing electricity costs due to warming animals in winter; Feces and urine of livestock are treated right in the barn, so it is not necessary to treat the manure but directly apply it to the plants.

At present, Bac Giang province has a pig herd of about 1.2 million and poultry herd of nearly 16 million.

From the results of the model, in the coming time, Bac Giang province will continue to widely apply eco-cushioning technologies in livestock and poultry husbandry to contribute to raising the value of the livestock industry and minimizing Environmental pollution.
