Innovative Fermentation
PIGS - Dr.FERM "in practice"
UNIQUE ACTIVATION STEP!
Years of experience showed clearly that using freezedried bacteria in fermentation of raw materials is a risky activity! Freezedried bacteria are sleeping and not active for first 5 to 8 hours, significantly increasing the risk of mal-fermentations. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to activate the lactic acid bacteria before adding them into the fermentation. Since 2017, Dr.FERM is the only supplier of an unique activation concept. Our concept is made for simple, safe, and succesful activation and control on-farm: a color change will show the user when the starterculture is ready to use.
Simple, Successful, Safe!
Dr.FERM has 25+ years experience in fermentation concepts for animals. Our first projects were done on pig farms using liquid feeding. Through trial and error, and many tests, a well-funcioning fermentation concept was developed. The basic characteristics are:
1) batch-fermentation,
2) temperature 36-38C, and
3) use of activated starterculture, incl. color change.
Inclusion of 10% up to 40% of these liquid fermented feedstuffs in pig diets results in better feed conversion, less mortalitiy, less antibiotic use, no need for ZnO, and reduced feed costs.
We offer also exciting concepts for use in dryfeed and around farrowing to improve pig health and efficiency. In recent years, we are also more and more involved in fermentation concepts for broilers, layer hens, calves, dairy cows, aqua, and insects (some information can be checked on this website).
Dr.FERM products are available in whole European Union, and distributed by Dr.FERM. For countries outside European Union please contact us.
Dr.FERM's consultancy is available world-wide: know-how projects, presentations on symposia, training for R&D and nutritionists, farm-visits, implementation of fermentation concepts on-farm or on-feedmill.
