Abstract
The invention herein is directed to pig waste silage, which is derived from the conversion of pig waste, a fermentable sugar source, and lactic acid fermentable culture, thereby pig waste is transformed into a nitrogen-rich, crude protein concentrate ingredient, suitable for consumption by cattle, sheep, and goat diets. The pig waste silage of the invention herein is a crude protein source that can lower operational costs for cattle and other ruminant producers, by using less protein-based grains, as well as reduction in greenhouse gas emissions, through a better and more efficient digestion of ruminants, based on physiological principles.
Claims16
A method for obtaining a pig waste silage, comprising a crude protein concentrate, wherein the method comprises:
- collecting pig waste which comprises pig feces, a fermentable material, and a lactic acid bacteria culture source which is live and comprises at least one of:
- fresh milk whey, reconstituted active dry milk whey, and plain yoghurt;
- mixing the pig waste, the fermentable material, and the lactic acid bacteria culture source, in a container, thereby yielding a heterogenous material, wherein the heterogenous material is fermentable;
- and
- fermenting the heterogenous material for a time period selected to raise a level of crude protein in the heterogenous material therereby yielding the pig waste silage which is tailored for consumption by ruminants.
