(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 350m²raising 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 rice husks on the floor of the barn, for every 1kg of biological yeast mixture spread over 40m², the usage time of this pad is 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, the rate of diseases is reduced, and the chicken flock grows quickly.”

When the chickens are nearly 2 months old, she lets them out into the garden with a safe fence twice a day, each time for about 2 hours. This helps increase their resistance and makes the chicken meat firmer, so the family's chickens are favored by 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 into the garden, thanks to which 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./.
