Lushui, also known as "scraped water" or "waste cooking oil," refers to leftover food waste from hotels, restaurants, schools, and other food service establishments. It is a highly nutritious and low-cost feed option for pigs. However, it cannot be directly fed to animals without proper treatment, as it can easily spoil and may contain harmful bacteria. Traditionally, people have used boiling to process this waste, but this method is labor-intensive, time-consuming, and inefficient. Moreover, boiled waste tends to degrade quickly and cannot be stored for long periods. A more effective and sustainable solution is to ferment the waste using microbial cultures. The Ginseng Glutinous Water Feed Starter is an excellent choice for this purpose. It not only simplifies the process but also enhances the nutritional value of the feed while making it safer for pigs. Here’s how the fermentation process works: 1. **Fermentation Method**: Mix 40–50% of the wet waste with a special starter culture called "Gold Treasure Bait Water Fermenting Agent." Combine it with wheat bran, rice bran, and the waste in a ratio of 30%:30%:40%. If there is a lot of liquid, drain it first. Add the baby's water-fed starter at a rate of 2 per 1,000 parts, and mix thoroughly. Ensure the moisture content is around 65%. To check if the moisture is right, squeeze the mixture in your hand—it should form a ball without dripping. Spread it out and let it dry slightly before placing it into a fermentation tank (which can be as simple as a large container or a sink). Seal the tank and let it ferment for 3–5 days. After each use, cover it again, and it can be stored for over six months without spoiling. When feeding pigs, mix 20–60% of the fermented material with unfermented waste that has been boiled and disinfected. This can be done once a month, along with deworming treatments. 2. **Benefits of Fermenting Lushui with Kimbo**: - **Eliminates the hassle of traditional cooking**: Boiling waste requires fuel, time, and effort. With fermentation, you avoid all of that. Plus, non-fermented waste can only be fed to pigs over 100 pounds, while fermented waste can be given to smaller pigs. - **Improves physical and chemical properties**: After fermentation, the waste becomes easier to digest and safer for pigs. According to tests by Mr. Dai, even 50-pound piglets can be safely fed this fermented waste without experiencing diarrhea. In contrast, non-fermented waste, even when cooked, is unsuitable for pigs under 100 pounds. This reduces overall feeding costs significantly. - **Replaces up to 80% of expensive feed ingredients**: Fermented lushui can effectively substitute for wheat bran, corn flour, and other costly feed components in full-price feed. - **Long-term storage**: Unlike raw waste, fermented lushui can be stored for over six months without spoiling, making it a reliable and consistent feed source. By using fermentation, farmers can reduce labor, save money, and provide healthier, more sustainable feed for their pigs. It’s a smart and eco-friendly approach to managing food waste and improving livestock nutrition.
