Ecological Restoration Theory of Fermentation Bed
Ecological Restoration Theory of Fermentation Bed
Ecological fermentation bed aquaculture is an advanced farming technique that integrates principles from microbiology, ecology, and fermentation engineering. It relies on active functional microbes as the central converters of organic materials and energy. The core idea behind Ecobiology’s ecological fermentation bed technology is to continuously and efficiently transform animal waste—such as pig excrement—into valuable substances and energy. This process leads to complete degradation of animal waste, achieving a pollution-free, zero-emission system. It represents one of the most cutting-edge environmental protection models globally. Within the fermentation bed, there are distinct gradients in moisture and fermentation activity. Due to gravity, the top layer of the bedding tends to be drier, while the lower layers gradually become more moist, creating a "longitudinal moisture gradient." Additionally, because pigs tend to urinate in the same spot, and sawdust bedding absorbs water at different rates, a "transverse moisture gradient" forms. The top area near the pig’s resting spot becomes wetter, while the surrounding areas dry out over time. Fermentation intensity also varies across the bed. In the early stages, optimal conditions—such as proper microbial activity, aeration, nutrients, and pH—support rapid fermentation. As the process continues, these conditions may weaken, leading to slower post-fermentation. This creates a "fermentation intensity gradient," which helps maintain balance throughout the entire pigpen. The fermentation bed itself functions like a self-repairing system. During the process, some bacteria may be lost or become inactive, but dormant beneficial bacteria quickly adapt and multiply rapidly. This cycle of loss, recovery, and renewal ensures long-term stability. However, if the area is too small or overused, it can lead to breakdowns, such as a "dead bed" or "bad bed" situation. For example, a fermentation bed should ideally cover at least 10 square meters to function effectively. To enhance the repair process, the litter can be turned periodically to improve aeration, adjust moisture levels, and remove excess water through evaporation. Techniques like "slimming down," "replenishing nutrients," and "balancing the mix" can also help restore the bed. Activities such as adding fresh material, mixing evenly, and supplementing with nutrients promote faster restoration and help maintain a balanced, efficient fermentation environment.Dried Shiitake Mushroom,Dehydrated Mushroom Dice,Shiitake Mushroom Powder,Dried Shiitake Mushroom Cubes, Cheap Dried Shiitake Mushroom
