Raising pigs with probiotics

(Baonghean) - Mr. Luong Van Luyen (1972) and his wife Lang Thi Ha (1970) in Ke Le village, Chau Hoi commune are the first people to apply clean pig farming technology using the method of fermenting microorganisms on biological bedding in Quy Chau. This method brings high economic efficiency, reduces environmental pollution, and prevents diseases that may occur to humans and livestock.

Currently, the clean pig farming model of Mr. Luyen and Ms. Ha's family is being built. According to the plan, the total construction area is 1,200 m2 with an investment of 1,800,000,000 VND. After completion, the farm will meet the demand for clean pork, provide good pig breeds, ensure quality as well as create jobs, increase income for local workers.

To prevent risks, a month before, Mr. Luyen built and raised 40 breeding pigs on a trial basis, including wild pigs and pigs that had been crossbred with wild pigs. Realizing that this method of raising pigs helps them grow quickly, has fewer diseases, and does not have the foul smell of the old method, Mr. Luyen boldly built a clean pig raising model right in his garden.

In this method of raising pigs, fermented food is fed to pigs, completely without using industrial feed. The main foods used are rice bran, corn and cassava. Pigs are fed vegetables and use locally available foods, agricultural by-products, which has taken full advantage of the locality by using rice husks, sawdust, sand and biological products as bedding, helping to decompose waste well on site.

Gradually, he plans to produce raw materials for animal feed, especially corn and soybeans to increase digestion efficiency, ensure food hygiene and safety and reduce environmental pollution. Thanks to that, he can save a lot of costs for animal feed, pigs can increase nutrition, ensure the quality of safe, delicious commercial meat, favored by consumers.

Mr. Luyen added that the growth rate when raised using clean methods is a little slower than when raised with industrial feed, but still ensures the speed of weight gain. With the breeding process on biological bedding, pigs move a lot, have firm meat, high lean meat ratio, beautiful color, delicious taste, favored by consumers. Not only that, after 2-3 years, the bedding can also be reused as organic fertilizer for clean agricultural production.

However, this method of raising clean pigs has not yet received much response. The reason is that people have not had much contact with modern farming technology. Along with that, the initial investment of a large amount of capital is required, making people still hesitant about this farming model. When Mr. Luyen's family's farming model achieved high economic efficiency, the district had many more models of clean, environmentally friendly pig farming...
