Fermentation straw feed is an energy-saving and emission-reduction method that quickly converts straw into high-quality animal feed. However, to get the best results, it's important to follow some key techniques. Using Jinbao straw fermentation starter as an example, here are some essential tips to keep in mind:
First, always use fresh and non-toxic straw. Avoid using rotten or degraded materials, as they can inhibit the growth of beneficial microbes and reduce the effectiveness of the fermentation process.
When piling up the straw, make sure it’s not too compacted. Proper aeration is crucial for good fermentation—overpacking can lead to poor ventilation and lower quality feed.
Store the starter in a cool, dark place away from direct sunlight. UV light can damage the functional microorganisms, which may affect the overall fermentation outcome.
Different types of straw have varying nutrients and odors, so the final fermented feed will also vary in taste. To achieve better nutrition, it’s recommended to mix different straws. For example: 1) Combine coarse and fine materials, like adding about 10-15% cornmeal to the straw before fermenting; 2) Mix different crop straws, such as corn stalks and wheat straw, to create a more balanced nutritional profile; 3) Blend with other feeds. Fermented straw should be mixed with complete feed in the right proportions. Cows, sheep, ducks, and geese can eat it directly, while pigs and chickens should have it in controlled amounts.
Each batch of fermented straw should weigh at least 15 kg. Smaller quantities may not heat up properly, making it harder to maintain consistent fermentation quality.
It's best to use the fermented feed as soon as possible. If you need to store it, do not keep it longer than two days. If storage exceeds this period, use an anaerobic method—cool the material and seal it tightly. For small-scale farmers raising three or five pigs, it's ideal to mix the raw materials, such as corn flour and straw, during fermentation. After fermentation, combine the concentrate and feed them together. This approach improves digestion and nutrient absorption while solving feeding challenges.
