Mr. Truong Van Trinh's family in Nam Long hamlet, Nghia Long commune (Nghia Dan) has implemented a model of raising pigs on biological bedding, from renovating existing barns. Mr. Truong Van Trinh, Nam Long hamlet said: "The family's livestock model has been implemented for more than 4 months, with 9 sows and more than 100 pigs. It is seen that it does not take much time to clean the barns, there is no more environmental pollution, and the pigs have few diseases."

Using biological bedding to treat pig pens is not difficult. A 20m2 pen requires 50 bags of rice husks, 30 bags of sawdust, about 2 kg of bran and 2 kg of biological yeast to create a 60cm thick layer of bedding. The investment cost is about 70 - 75 thousand VND/m2, and the usage time is about 2 years.

Thanks to raising pigs on biological bedding, costs in the breeding process have been reduced, so profits are 20% to 25% higher than traditional pig farming methods.
