Fermentation is a powerful process that enhances the appeal of feed. Many people don’t like whole grains, and similarly, livestock often avoid roughage that’s hard to digest. However, when using a product like Golden Gourmet starter, beneficial microorganisms work their magic. These microbes break down the tough fibers, making the feed more palatable and easier for animals to digest. This transformed feed is known as fermented feed, and it plays a key role in improving animal nutrition.
During fermentation, these microorganisms are highly active, producing heat, sugars, alcohols, and organic acids. As a result, the feed becomes softer, more nutritious, and develops a pleasant sour or sweet flavor—something that pigs especially enjoy. This improved taste leads to increased feed intake, which in turn accelerates growth rates in livestock.
There are numerous benefits to using fermented feed. First, it helps expand the range of available feed sources. Corn stalks, wheat straw, bean vines, sweet potato leaves, rice husks, grass, and other agricultural by-products can all be turned into high-quality fermented feed. This not only reduces waste but also provides a sustainable alternative to traditional feed.
Second, fermented feed improves digestion and nutrient absorption. The microorganisms break down complex plant materials into simpler forms, making them easier for animals to absorb. Plus, the microbes themselves contribute valuable nutrients such as proteins and fats, which further boost the nutritional value of the feed. This means animals grow faster while requiring less high-cost feed.
Third, fermented feed can help save fuel. In colder seasons, some farmers might use heating methods to prepare feed, but with fermented feed, this step is often unnecessary. It can be fed directly to animals, reducing energy costs.
Lastly, fermented feed can help animals gain weight more efficiently. Because it stimulates appetite, animals tend to eat more, leading to increased fecal production and better overall performance. Overall, incorporating fermented feed into livestock management is a smart, cost-effective, and environmentally friendly choice.
