Core Configurations & Technical Specifications of Dual Solutions

1. Fermented Bedding Ecological Floor

Key Components: Adopts an ecological system of “bedding substrate + composite functional bacteria”. The bedding uses non-toxic and harmless raw materials with a carbon-nitrogen ratio ≥25∶1 (such as raw wood chips, rice husks, crushed straw) with a particle size of 5-50mm, combined with composite bacteria (photosynthetic bacteria, bacillus, etc.), supporting special nutrient solution and turning tools. The ground foundation is a 120mm-thick concrete cushion (higher than the outdoor ground) with water-proof and moisture-proof functions. Above-ground type (bedding thickness 30-40cm), semi-underground type (bedding thickness 15-30cm) or underground type (bedding thickness 20-30cm) structures are designed according to the groundwater level.

Critical Processes: The bedding pre-fermentation period is 7-14 days, during which the temperature rises above 70℃ for sterilization. After cooling to about 45℃, it is laid. The chicken house needs to be disinfected and vacated for more than 24 hours before chickens are introduced. Daily maintenance requires keeping the bedding humidity at 40%-50% and the middle layer temperature at 30-50℃. The bedding is turned once every 20 days (depth 15cm), and the upper bedding is replaced every 1-2 years. The waste bedding can be recycled as biological organic fertilizer after secondary fermentation.
