How to Perform Routine Maintenance of the Fermentation Bed Using a fermentation bed for raising pigs is an efficient and eco-friendly method, but proper daily maintenance is crucial to ensure its long-term effectiveness. Here are some key points to keep in mind: 1. **Moisture Control** Maintaining the right moisture level in the fermentation layer is essential for microbial activity. The ideal moisture content should be around 50-60%. To check this, grab a handful of the litter—if it holds together without dripping, it’s just right. This range supports optimal microbial growth. However, the top layer (about 10 cm deep) usually has lower moisture, around 30-40%, as it's less active. This surface layer should remain dry to avoid discomfort for the pigs. If needed, you can lightly mist the sawdust, but avoid over-wetting, which could reduce airflow or make the bed too damp. 2. **Adding Active Ingredients** In most cases, no additional ingredients are necessary. However, during cold weather when fermentation slows down, you can add small amounts of brown sugar water or urea solution to boost microbial activity. These can also be used occasionally to enhance fermentation intensity if it begins to decline. 3. **Keeping the Environment Clean** Fermentation beds made with the Jinbao system naturally break down waste over time, reducing the need for frequent cleaning. The bedding decomposes into nutrient-rich material that can be used as fertilizer or feed for smaller animals. You can clean or remove the material as needed, but always replenish the litter and fermentation agents to maintain the system’s performance. Whether or not to clean regularly depends on your specific needs—some farmers choose to leave it untouched for years, while others clean periodically. 4. **Sow Care** The fermentation bed works well for all types of pigs, including sows. However, extra care is needed during farrowing. Avoid exposing piglets’ umbilical cords to sawdust or debris to prevent infection. If necessary, temporarily move the sow or change the area for a few days until the wound heals. During pregnancy, the sow’s belly may come into contact with the litter, so it’s best to use aged sawdust that has been disinfected for a few days. This helps prevent allergic reactions, though they are rare. If redness or irritation occurs, it usually clears up within a few days without treatment.

A Profilometer is a precision equipment used to measure the shape of various mechanical parts' lines and cross-sectional contours. In the bearing industry, it is possible to measure the contour shapes of various rolling elements and raceways, such as protrusion, contact angle, surface curvature radius, and reference part angle. In the mechanical industry, it is possible to measure the straightness, line profile, parallelism, inclination, and angle of various parts. Especially suitable for measuring the appearance of pistons in automobiles, tractors, and motorcycles. The production instruments of this research run enterprise are controlled by microcomputers, which automatically achieve measurement cycles, eliminate installation errors, directly display the shape and parameters of the measured parts, and can print graphics and data for product quality testing and process analysis.
