PROJECT DESCRIPTION
1)
The social-economical condition of the community
The pig-farming in the southern provinces of Vietnam has been developed strongly,
such as not only Saigon Agriculture Incorporation(SAI) has 45,000 pigs, San Miguel Company
in Binh Duong province has 100,000 pigs, and Kim Long Company has about 15,000 pigs, but
also the households and some private breeding farms have about 200-10,000 pigs. Recently, the
pork’s price has increased in the market, and the increase in the amount of farming pigs has
brought about some problems of epidemic diseases and environmental pollution because of
dung and waste water from the pig breeding. Everyday, dung and waste water are released in a
large amount. At Kim Long Company, with 15.000 pigs, they throw away about 5 tons of dung
and waste water per day. Until now most of the breeding farms has sold fresh night-soil to
farms with low price about 5000 vnd for a 40-kg bag. Because of not being treated or not being
treated in the right ways, it has polluted the surrounding areas with bad smell and flies.
2) The specific problems to be addressed and why the problems need to be addressed
The project was made to apply biological treatments which we can use to reduce bad smell,
and environmental pollution around us, and simultaneously we can use the dung and waste water
to produce high quality biofertilizer.
The project’s scheme:
For pigs drink
everyday
Diluted VEM
Phaânsmell
giaûm
muøi
Less
fecal
matter
hoâi
Treated with
BIO-F
Biofertilizer
Fermentation 7-10 days
3) How will the problem be tackled by your proposal;
To solve the pollution due to dung and waste water, and concurrently make the most of the
dung to produce biofertilizer with high quality, we set up a thorough treatment model with 2 stages
Stage 1 - VEM process:
VEM is a liquid product made by Department of Applied microbiology, Institute of Tropical
Biology; its ingredients include a group of useful micro-organisms such as lactic bacteria, Bacillus
spp., yeast and photosynthetic bacteria, the total useful micro-organisms density are over 109
CFU/ml. At this stage, VEM is diluted 1/500-1/1000 with the water for pigs drinking everyday.
After coming in the digestive system of the pig, this group in VEM will inhibited the pathogenic
bacteria, stimulate digestion, reduce food consume ratio, and decrease the bad-smelling of pig dung
at the same time.
Stage 2 - Treat with BIO-F and produce biofertilizer:
BIO-F product is the microorganisms which is use to produce biofertilizer. BIO-F‘s ingredients
include Streptomyces sp., Tricoderma sp. and Bacillus sp. these total microorganisms density are
about109 CFU/g. These microorganisms are selected; they will hydrolyze quickly the organic
compound in pig dung (protein, cellulose) and get rid of the bad smell. These micro-organisms also
have antagonistic effect on phytopathogenic fungi. After being wasted, the pig dung will be adjusted
humidity, and composting by BIO-F product. After 3 inoculated days, micro-organisms begin to
develop strongly. The temperature increase to 60-700C and kill pathogenic bacteria and worm’s eggs in
the dung. This stage will end after 7-10 days; the attained product is biofertilizer whose ingredients
include: Streptomyces sp. 106 CFU/g, Trichoderma sp. 106CFU/g, Bacillus sp. 108 CFU/g, total protein
2%, humate 3%.
4). What is innovative about the idea;
Isolate and select useful micro-organisms, which support digestion for pigs, reduce bad smell,
and prevent digestive disease. These micro-organism types can live well in Vietnamese geological
conditions. Therefore, we do not depend on imported micro-organisms.
Isolate and select micro-organisms which have the ability of both hydrolizing high organic
compound (cellulose, protein) and competing and antagonizing phytopathogenic fungi. Using those
good strains to produce biofertilizer.
Reducing bad smell is accomplished through method in which pig directly drink VEM.
Use pig dung and waste water to produce biofertilizer. This is also the method we use to dispose
bad smell, and minimize environmental pollution. Products gain high quality and act in preventing
phytopathogenic fungi.
Help pig farms to get more income, and also give more opportunities of employment for people.
5).
Who is the target group;
Because this process is simple and cheap, it can be use on the large scale by many pig
farms with the number of pig from 10,000 to 100,000 pigs. In addition, this process can also be
applied for households with family size about 200-2000 pigs.
6).
What are the success criteria;
Minimize bad smell and flies in breeding facilities and the around environment.
Use pig dung to produce biofertilizer which have high quality and bring more income to
companies. These biofertilizer’s ingredients include: Bacillus sp. 108 CFU/g; Trichoderma sp.
106 CFU/g; Strepomyces sp. 106 CFU/g.
7). Any other details you would like to add that would help us fully understand the proposal;
BIO-F product was used to produce biofertilizer from household garbage (This topic
was financed by the department of Science and Technology Ho Chi Minh City and got the good
result in checking).
BIO-F product was used to produce biofertilizer from the bottom sludge in shrimp pond
(The topic was financed by the Vietnam Academy of Science and Technology and got excellent
result in checking).
BIO-F product was used to produce biofertilizer from the coffee’s skin (with this topic,
students of Tay Nguyen university got the first prize of the green invention which was organized
by Ministry of Education and Training, Ministry of Environment and Resource, and Sony
Company).
VEM product was applied to treat the environment in aquaculture pond. Test field of VEM
product in shrimp ponds in Ben Tre province and chickens (attachment of papers)
7. Answer the questions below:
7.1 The impact of the project:
 Economical impact:
Using VEM product for pigs brings economical impact to farmers because it can reduce the
disease ratio, reduce food consume ratio, and also shorten the breeding time.
High-quality biofertilizers bring more income to pig raisers and farmers.
 Social impact:
Help to solve the pollution problems caused by bad smell and flies, and harmful
microorganisms; keep the environment of cattle farms and the surroundings clean and healthy.
It solves the important concerns that the government are struggling.
7.2 The ability of expanding:
If this project is successful, it can be applied in the whole country. This solution can be applied
not only for pigs, but also for cows and chickens.
