It can be said that in the breeding industry, chicken breeding is a breed with low investment and quick results. For laying hens, from chicks to laying eggs, it takes about 110 days to start making profits, and broiler chickens can be marketed after about 40 days. For the chicken industry, the problem of manure treatment is the most difficult problem for the chicken industry. Regarding the emergence of this problem, the use of a fermentation bed can completely solve it.

Fermentation bed chicken raising technology is an effective and more reasonable ecological chicken raising technology. It is a major change in the way of raising chickens. It not only achieves effective treatment of chicken manure, but also realizes zero emissions, no pollution, and no odor. , and provide the most suitable ecological environment for the healthy growth of chickens. Chickens grow in this environment, grow fast, produce more eggs, have good egg quality, less disease, labor, water and materials are greatly saved, and the benefits of raising chickens are significantly improved.

Compared with the old-style chicken raising methods, there are the following advantages: No odor, no need to clean manure, create a good fresh micro-ecological chicken house, exercise a strong chicken visceral system, enhance chicken immunity, improve chicken and egg quality, and produce green laying hens and broilers. In the life of the chicken, it is only necessary to clean the pen once (within three years). The older the chicken manure, the higher the nutritional value of the feed. If all the chicken manure is removed during the feeding process, it will bring harm to the health of the chicken. , resulting in a decrease in egg production.

1. The principle of raising chickens in fermentation bed

In the nature we live in, there are many kinds of bacteria living, we call them microorganisms. These microorganisms can be beneficial or harmful. EM bacteria is a mixed group of various local microorganisms. EM bacteria have vitality and adaptability, and have a strong decomposition ability. Then put this bacteria into the chicken coop, and use the activity of this bacteria to decompose chicken manure, so as to achieve the purpose of no chicken manure emission and zero emission.

The digestive tract of chickens is relatively short, and about 70% of the organic matter in the manure rate has not been decomposed. As for the treatment of feces, it has high water content and high organic nutrients. If it is not decomposed in time, it will deteriorate and stink. After the chicken pulls out the manure, it is decomposed by the EM bacteria on the fermentation bed and becomes bacterial protein. Chickens can also eat these bacterial proteins to supplement nutrition. Reduce the feeding amount of feed. There is generally a bad smell in the chicken coop, which is called ammonia gas in the language. When the ammonia gas inside is heavy, it will affect the health of the chickens and induce respiratory diseases. If the respiratory tract is light, it will reduce its feed intake and egg production, and if it is serious, it will cause it to die. EM bacteria can effectively deodorize, fully decompose manure, and reduce the amount of ammonia in the chicken house. The chicken coop will no longer produce unpleasant odors. While the feces are decomposed, the liquid can effectively prevent the infection of parasites and reduce the incidence of chickens.

2. Chicken shed construction

1. The chicken house is oriented from east to west, facing south, and should not be too low. Generally, the height of the eaves is about 2 meters, and the height of the ridge is about 3 meters. Windows should be large and low, especially the front windows.

2. Add skylights: The process of decomposing chicken manure in the fermentation bed will generate a lot of waste gas. At the same time, the heat of fermentation will evaporate the water in the chicken manure into the air, which increases the heat and needs to be discharged in time. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen the ventilation of the chicken house. Since the hot air can rise automatically, it is necessary to add a skylight at the highest point of the roof of the chicken house to allow the exhaust air to discharge by itself. A simple skylight can be used, as long as it is strong and does not leak rain.

3. Add floor windows: In order to supplement fresh air and form a circulating air flow inside and outside the chicken house with the skylight, add floor windows at the root of the wall about 15cm above the fermentation bed floor. In addition, chickens should be raised in the chicken house. It can be said that in the breeding industry, the breeding species requires less investment and quick results. For laying hens, it takes about 110 days from chicks to lay eggs to start making profits, and broiler chickens after 40 days. It can be released in about a day. For the chicken industry, the problem of manure treatment is the most difficult problem for the chicken industry. Regarding the emergence of this problem, the use of a fermentation bed can completely solve it.

Fermentation bed chicken raising is a major change in the way of raising chickens. Compared with the old chicken raising method, it has the following advantages: no odor, no need to clean manure, create a good fresh micro-ecological chicken house, exercise a strong chicken internal organ system, and enhance chicken immunity Improve the quality of chicken and eggs, and produce green laying hens and broilers. In the life of the chicken, it is only necessary to clean the pen once (within three years). The older the chicken manure, the higher the nutritional value of the feed. If all the chicken manure is removed during the feeding process, it will bring harm to the health of the chicken. , resulting in a decrease in egg production.

With the function of the fermentation bed strains, a biosphere of beneficial microorganisms is formed at the bottom of the circle, and the large number of beneficial microorganisms will cause the chicken manure to be decomposed and transformed into microbial bait, so that there will be no chicken manure residue; at the same time, the temperature of the circle will also increase Under the action of microbial fermentation, the temperature rises continuously, so the cost of artificial heating can also be cancelled.

In addition, pay attention to moisture-proof in the chicken house, the fermentation bed adopts the above-ground type, and the ground should be raised by 0.4 to 1 meter in humid areas.Pay attention to moisture-proof, the fermentation bed adopts the above-ground type, and the ground should be raised by 0.4 to 1 meter in humid areas.

3. Production of fermentation bed

Different types of fermentation bed strains have different methods of making fermentation beds. The production method of Gymboree dry-scattering fermentation bed fermentation bed is as follows:

1. Dilute the bacteria. The dry-sprinkling fermentation bed fermentation agent can spread 15-20 square meters of chicken beds per kilogram, and mix and dilute with rice bran, corn flour or bran without adding water at a ratio of 1:5.

2. Litter preparation. A chicken bed with an area of 20 square meters needs about 8 square meters of sawdust. Sawdust must be non-toxic and harmless, remove impurities, and be used after drying.

3. Sprinkle the bacteria. It can be spread while spreading, or it can be mixed and then spread. Remember that there is no need to add water. The top layer of bacteria spread slightly more.

4. Lay enough bedding. The thickness of sawdust is required to be 40 cm for the chicken bed. Rice husks, peanut shells, and straw can be used as part of the sawdust if it is not easy to obtain. It is spread on the bottom of the fermentation bed, and sawdust is still used for the 15-20 cm on the surface of the bed.

5. Put the chicken on the bed. You can put the chicken in after paving, don't wait for the fermentation to finish before putting it in, as the surface is dry, you can sprinkle a little water first, so that it is better for the sheep to run and not raise dust.

4 Benefit Analysis

1. Reduce operating costs.

2. Save labor. There is no need to clean the coop every day.

3. Save feed. Chicken feces are generally decomposed by microorganisms in only three days on the fermentation bed. The feces provide rich nutrients for microorganisms, promote the continuous reproduction of beneficial bacteria, and form bacterial proteins. Chickens eat these bacterial proteins. Improve immunity. In addition, because chicken feed and drinking water are also supplemented with probiotics, there are a large number of beneficial bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract. Some cellulase and hemicellulase in these beneficial bacteria can decompose cellulose and hemicellulose in straw. Using this method of breeding can increase the proportion of roughage and reduce the amount of concentrate, thereby reducing the cost of feeding. According to production practice, feed saving is generally above 10%.

4. Reduce the cost of medicine. Chickens live on the fermentation bed, which is healthier, less prone to illness, and reduces medical costs.

5. After the litter and chicken manure are mixed and fermented, they can be directly turned into high-quality organic fertilizer.

6. Improve the quality of chicken eggs, and have more market competitive advantages.

5. Matters needing attention

1. Often drink 1:200 times EM dilution and feed EM fermented feed, which can decompose the nutrient content of the feed in advance and facilitate the full absorption of the chicken.

2. The density of chicken stocking should be well controlled. After the density is high, there will be too much feces per unit area, and the bacteria in the fermentation bed cannot effectively decompose the feces. Five to six chickens per square meter.

3. EM bacteria need a humid environment. Observe the humidity of the fermentation bed and spray 1:200 times EM dilution. Humidity is controlled at around 30%.

4. Pay close attention to the activity of probiotics: if necessary, add 1:50 times EM bacteria solution to adjust the activity of probiotics to ensure that the fermentation can proceed normally.

5. Prohibition of chemical drugs: the use of chemical drugs and antibiotics is prohibited in the chicken coop to prevent the killing and inhibition of probiotics, which reduces the activity of probiotics.

6. Attention must be paid to ventilation. Ventilation is an important and effective anti-epidemic measure. Mechanical ventilation is used in industrial chicken houses. The disadvantage is that the investment in equipment is large and the power consumption is high. However, chickens raised in fermentation beds in greenhouses do not use fans for mechanical ventilation, but rely on natural ventilation. Ventilation holes are left on the roof of the shed for vertical ventilation; using a film shaker, the front and rear skirt films can be opened for horizontal ventilation; the doors at both ends of the chicken shed can be opened for longitudinal ventilation. Natural ventilation does not require ventilation equipment, does not consume electricity, and is resource-saving.

7. Normal epidemic prevention. The fundamental method of epidemic prevention and eradication is to improve the animal's own immune and disease-resistant ability. To deal with bird flu and other diseases, we must change from simply relying on drugs to kill them to improve the resistance of the animal's own immune system. The chickens are raised in the fermentation bed. The chickens live in a soft and comfortable fungus bed without odor. In summer, the skirt film of the greenhouse is opened to achieve the maximum ventilation for cooling. In winter, the sunshade net is raised so that every corner of the chicken house can be exposed to sunlight, which can warm and disinfect. The temperature and humidity in the shed can be adjusted through the height of the skirt film. Chickens living in such an ecological environment are healthy and not easy to get sick. They do not need antibiotics and hormones, and they are fed a certain amount of green feed at the same time, which provides the best method for producing green and organic chicken and eggs.

Poultry products are an important source of meat consumption for people, and the great development of poultry meat production will make an important contribution to food safety. At the same time, as people pay more and more attention to environmental protection, animal welfare, and food safety, breeding techniques that pollute the environment, fail to manage livestock and poultry manure well, fail to reflect animal welfare, and are unsafe will be subject to more and more stringent regulations. Restricted or even eliminated, but environmental protection and ecological farming techniques will be increasingly welcomed and valued, showing strong vitality. We believe that this revolution in livestock and poultry includes not only the demand for quantity, but also the demand for quality, as well as the demand for environmental protection and sustainable development. Fermentation bed chicken raising is an environmentally friendly and ecological type of chicken raising, which fully meets the needs of sustainable development of the poultry industry and has broad development prospects. We will continue to do a good job in the improvement, application and promotion of the chicken breeding technology in the fermentation bed, and make new efforts for the sustainable development of the poultry industry and the increase of farmers' income.
