Non-Synchronous Fermentation Theory

Non-synchronous fermentation theory describes how different regions, parts, and times within a fermentation system can experience varying levels of microbial activity. This variation occurs because factors like temperature, humidity, oxygen availability, and nutrient concentration differ across the environment. As a result, the growth and reproduction rates of beneficial microorganisms in the fermentation bed are not uniform. In other words, some areas may be highly active while others remain dormant—similar to the "niece marries first" phenomenon observed in certain fermentation systems, such as those used in Gembe.

This theory has both advantages and disadvantages. One key benefit is that it helps conserve microbial strains, bedding material, and nutrient solutions. When pigs excrete waste, the functional microbes in the fermentation bed begin to work using the nutrients from the manure along with suitable temperature and humidity. In areas where conditions are less favorable, the microbes enter a "resting state," slowing down their activity and reducing strain and bedding consumption. This allows the system to function for extended periods. For example, the Jinbao dry-type fermentation bed can maintain its microbial population for many years without regular cleaning, with bacterial species remaining viable for over three years under proper conditions.

However, this approach requires high-quality microbial strains that can survive long periods of dormancy and thrive under fluctuating environmental conditions. Strains like those used in the Golden Dolphin Eco-Fermentation Bed possess excellent dormancy capabilities, strong resistance to antibiotics, temperature fluctuations, and pH variations. These traits make them ideal for non-synchronous fermentation systems.

Despite its benefits, the non-synchronous fermentation theory can be misunderstood. Some people might think there's no fermentation happening at all or that the microbial quality is poor. However, if properly understood and applied, this method can greatly improve the efficiency and longevity of an ecological fermentation bed. For instance, when setting up or maintaining a treasure-style ecological fermentation bed, you don't need to add water constantly. Instead, you should focus on adding nutrient solutions gradually and allowing the fermentation process to start naturally over time. This reduces the risk of dead or ineffective beds and ensures better overall performance.
