Feed prices have risen, labor costs have increased, and the cost of raising pigs has been further increased. Farming has entered a high-cost era, and it is an indisputable fact in the industry. How to reduce the cost of raising has become the most concerned topic in the industry.
Liu Zheran, deputy director of Taiwanese Bolo County Jingu Feed Co., Ltd., believes that the key to reducing costs is to reduce feed costs.
Increase feed utilization by 15%
So how do you reduce the cost of feed? Liu Zheran believes that farmers can only improve feed utilization and reduce losses when they cannot control the price of feed.
Liu Zhe-nan introduced that the cost of aquaculture includes eight major items: feed, labor, medicine, depreciation, interest, water and electricity, sewage treatment, and management fees, of which feed costs account for 60-70% of the total cost. "If you can reduce the feed cost by 1%, it will be great to reduce the cost of raising the feed." Liu Zhenan said.
“Using fermented feed is one of the effective methods to improve feed utilization.†Liu Zhenan said that the current feed utilization rate of general pigs is about 65%-70%. The more you eat, the more waste. The fermented feed uses various decomposing enzymes, a variety of beneficial microbes, and commonly used pig feeds such as corn, soybean meal, wheat husk, etc., to break down the feed ingredients into easily absorbable nutrients. Experiments have shown that the use of fermented feed can increase feed utilization to 80%-85%.
Liu Zhe-nan said that in the case of the same total feed, the general feed can only raise pigs to 100 kg, while the fermented feed can increase the pig weight to 112 kg, the net weight gain is 12 kg, at 12 yuan per kg. The pig price is calculated by a total increase of 144 yuan, minus the cost of fermented feed of about 34 yuan, each pig can get an additional profit of 110 yuan, which is lower than the common feeding method, can reduce the cost of raising about 1 yuan / kg (110 yuan / 112 kg) .
In addition, the fermented feed can not only improve the feed utilization rate, but also establish a micro-ecological balance under the action of various microorganisms, enhance the immunity of the pigs, improve the health of the pigs, and improve the conception rate of the sows. Each child can have more than 1-2 piglets, and the survival rate is as high as 98%.
"Because of this exact effect, many farmers are paying more and more attention to the fermentation technology of feed." Liu Zhenan said that in Taiwan, the penetration rate of fermented feed is very high.
A variety of factors make it difficult to promote
In fact, in the pig industry, fermented feed is not new.
"In particular, the fermentation (enzymatic hydrolysis) soybean meal industry." Pan Jun, general manager of Guangzhou Boshan Biological Feed Co., Ltd. introduced that fermentation (enzymatic hydrolysis) soybean meal industrialization began in Europe and was introduced to the mainland via Taiwan. The increase in the price of fishmeal that began at the end of 2005 has allowed many feed aquaculture companies to accept this product. In the past year or two, domestic fermented feed enterprises have been established, and different brands of products are everywhere in the market.
