(Baonghean.vn) - Thanks to raising chickens on biological bedding, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai Luong's family in block 6A, Anh Son town has an income of 330 million VND/year..

Previously, Ms. Nguyen Thi Hoai Luong's family raised chickens using traditional methods, so the chickens often got sick and the stench from waste affected the lives of people around. Since 2013, she has implemented a model of raising chickens on biological bedding. On an area of ​​about 350m²raise more than 600 meat chickens, mainly domestic chickens and ant chickens.

Ms. Luong prepares bedding for raising chickens.

On the floor of the barn, she lined it with rice husks or sawdust with a thickness of 20cm. Ms. Luong also fermented biological yeast and rice bran with a ratio of 1kg of yeast/3kg of rice bran for 3 days. This mixture was spread on the surface of the rice husks on the floor of the barn, for every 1kg of biological yeast mixture spread over 40m², this pad can be used for about 1 year.

Ms. Luong said: “Applying this method makes use of agricultural by-products such as rice husks, sawdust, and corn stalks, so the cost is low but the efficiency is very high. Since applying this model, the stench and toxic gases in the barn have been reduced, creating a clean environment for livestock to grow well. Thereby, reducing the incidence of diseases, and the chicken flocks grow quickly.”

When the chickens are nearly 2 months old, she lets them out in a fenced garden twice a day, each time for about 2 hours. This helps increase their resistance and makes the chickens firmer, so the family's chickens are popular with traders.

After nearly 4 months of raising, the chickens weigh from 1.3kg - 1.5kg/chicken. On average, each year she sells over 3 tons of chicken meat, earning about 350 million VND.

Every day, Ms. Le Thi Hoai Luong lets her chickens out in the garden. Thanks to that, the chickens grow well and the meat is delicious.

Raising chickens on biological litter reduces costs during the raising process, so profits are 30% to 35% higher than traditional raising methods. This model is easy to apply, the investment cost is not large, it can be implemented in a short time but brings high economic efficiency to farmers and protects the environment./.
