Why organic farming?

• Concentrate on piggery & poultry,
- No pollution

Organic Farming barns do not smell. Natural resources, such as the

sunlight, efficient air circulations and micro-organisms, are utilized
to maintain the floor dry and fluffy.
 Why organic farming?
• Concentrate on piggery & poultry,
- No artificial heating

Instead of using fossil fuel or electricity to provide heating, we

help the livestock to develop the natural resistance against cold.

- Natural feed made locally by farmers

Chickens are fed with whole brown rice grains and bamboo
leaves immediately after hatching. Tough fiber-rich feed
strengthens their intestines. Animals raised by Natural Farming
methodology are healthy, strong and have little diseases.
 Why organic farming?
- Nutritive Cycle theory

According to organic farming, we can use manure as feeds for

livestock and fish. Fermented manure uses as a good fertilizer.
Methods in natural farming
• Indigenous micro-organism (IMO): Indigenous micro-organisms are
powerful and effective natural resources that improve the soil
conditioning and the crop health. They are easily collected from local
woods or fields using a simple wooden lunch box containing steamed
rice. They are then cultivated mixed with brown sugar and rice bran.
By utilizing micro-organisms that survived and adapted to the local
environment for hundreds or thousands of years, we can obtain safe,
cheap, yet powerful natural fertilizers and livestock feeds.

• Oriental Herbal Nutrient (OHN): Oriental herbal nutrient is made from

herbs valued in oriental medicine, such as licorice, cinnamon, garlic
and ginger

• Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ): New sprouts and young fruits with
high hormone concentration, fully ripened fruits, flower abundant in
honey, and any plant with strong fragrance are good resources to
make Fermented Plant Juice (FPJ). FPJ is made by fermenting
plant juices extracted from plant parts in brown sugar utilizing the
osmotic pressure.

• Fish amino acid (FAA): FAA is made from fermented fish or

leftover parts (head, guts, bones, etc), especially the fish having
green-color back. You can make a great protein source from fish
by extracting juice from fish fermented with brown sugar. FAA is in
the liquid form, and is used as a high quality natural nitrogen
fertilizer for crops.
• Water-soluble Calcium Phosphate (WCP): WCP is derived from animal
bones dissolved in the brown-rice vinegar. It suppresses an excessive
nitrogen manifestation. It is particularly effective for plants in the transition
stage between the growth and the fruiting stages.
• Water-soluble Calcium (WCA): WCA is extracted by dissolving shells of
eggs, oysters, crabs, etc. in the brown-rice vinegar. Calcium is effective in
increasing the fruit sugar level or maturing the fruits at the later stages of
growth.
• Lactic acid bacteria (LAB): LAB is made from the rice-washed water and
pure milk. It is similar to the yogurt making process. LAB gives strength to a
weak plant which is losing the photosynthesis capability. LAB also has an
outstanding effect in increasing the size of fruits.
• Insect Attractant (IA): Instead of pesticide, Natural Farming uses various
natural insect attractants (fermented plant juice mixed with raw rice wine) to
get rid of insects. Insects’ keen sense of smell and taste is utilized to lure
and catch insects into IA-containing plastic bottles with open side windows.

IMO helps to
• Remove insects.
• Make heat.(If we mix manure, saw dust and IMO, the temperature
rise up to 60°C.)
• Strengthen immune system.
• Strengthen intestine.
• Change manure to feed.
• Make good smell.
 Step 1 : Collect IMO
• Prepare 2kg of steamed rice.(Cassava, Matoke, Sweet
potato, Irish potato are also good.)
• Mix with 50g of salt, then make a ball.
• Keep protect net against rats and insects.

• Find good place, warm and shaded.

• Microorganisms need sufficient
temperature and humidity to survive.
• Keep it under humus soil.

• After 5-7days, mix with black sugar.

• Put these in a storage, and keep it on 22~23 ℃ for 7days.
• Shaded are without sunlight.

• After 7days,

Store
• Keep it at cold and dark place such as underground.
 Step 2 : Multiplying IMO

• Prepare 500times of water for IMO.

• Pour IMO in a big plastic storage.
• Pour water.
• Put in 5% of sugar and 5% of bran.(Rice bran, Maize bran and so on.)
Thanks to weather of Uganda, put in sugar is an option.
• After 3-4days, you can smell something sour.
• Do not leave IMO liquid more than 1week.(If we don’t put sugar, we can
leave IMO liquid at least 2weeks.)

Step 3 : Multiplying IMO secondly

• If there leaves only 10% of IMO, then pour water to fill all the storage.
• Pour sugar and bran.
• Tip
The weather of Uganda is warm of hot. According to that reason, if sugar
is contained in IMO, the speed of fermentation would be faster than no
sugar in the storage. Because of that reason, putting sugar would be
controlled by farmers. As there’s no sugar, it would be fermented slowly.
 Making Vitamin Juice
• Gather leaves which are wide and contains much moisture without
poison. Matoke leaf is not good.
• If you can’t gather one kind of leaf, then gather more than 3 kinds of
leaves.
• Mix 1kg of leaves with 300-400g of sugar.
• Keep in plastic basket or plastic bag.
• Put a big stone on leaves for stopping to breathe these.
• Keep in shaded area for 2 weeks.
• Cover the plastic basket with mosquito net.
• After 2 weeks, mix the liquid with 500 times of water.

Making Lactic Acid Bacteria

• After washing rice, put the washed water in shaded area.
• After 5-7days, pour 10times of milk after eliminate the surface which is
colorful.
• Milk is expensive. So you can use boiled bean’s water with some
crashed beans. The ratio of original liquid and boiled beans water is 1 :
10.
• After few days, it would be finished. Use only liquid with mixing
100times of water.
Fruit Juice
• Prepare 1kg of Pineapple.(Sweet banana is also good.)
• If you don’t have much, mix with banana and carrot.
• Put one fruit in the basket and then put same weight of sugar.
• Per 1kg of fruit, 1.1~1.2kg of sugar is good.
• Put in shaded area for 1week.
• When you use it, mix with 500times of water.
• Man can also drink it as a vitamin juice. It is very healthy drink.

 Principles of piggery
Problems of raising pigs in Uganda.
1. Excessive Pig Sty Mal Odour
2. Dirty and filth
3. Over consimption of feed.
4. Rampant Disease eg African Swine fever
5. Weak immune system
6. And so on

In response to these issues

This presentation would like to intruduce a
new concept
of
Pig production.
and management

• Introduction to Korean Organic Piggery

1. Reduced smell of the pig sty
2. Feed intake can be be reduced up to 30%.
3. Healthy pigs with reduced disease outbreak.
4. Natural heating system
5. Reduced noise in the pig stead
6. Reduced bodily injuries resulting from more contented animals.
7. Last but not least, an Eco-friendly piggery that everyone can
access with no obvious discomforts
 Structure of the Pig house.
• IMO and fermented ground
(Sawdust + soil + manure)
• Sunlight disinfecting inside through eradicate almost every mites,
ticks, and so on.
• Ventilation makes the ground to maintain 60-70% of humidity.
• Manure and sawdust are fermented through mixing with IMO and
changed to feed.
• During the process of fermentation, there is a production of
heat.(Natural heating system)
• Pigs would exercise according to the structure of piggery house.
Feed tray and water tray are placed opposite side each.

• Ventilation and condition of the ground

 Structure of piggery house.

• Sufficient sunlight & natural heating

Constructing piggery house

Prepare a land for pigs.(3.5X8.0m) for 20~25 pigs.)

Constructing piggery house

Dig 1meter deep trenches at the
boundaries of the pig house.
Constructing pig house
Set up posts in the
trenches.

Ground-making and
foundation setting

Build a brick wall up to

4 feet high.
Continue with the brick wall at
intersections.

Plaster the walls but do not

cover the ground with
cement.

After roofing.
• Use some transparent sheet.

• Build up wall with wooden

paling and use welded wire
mesh for the upper potion to
allow proper ventilation.

• After construction.

• Distance view after

construction.
• Fill organic matters such
as rice straw, corn stalk,
branches, and so on
(maximum 30cm)

• Fill sawdust, soil,

salt and limestone.

• After finish, mix IMO.

 • After 4weeks.

Making house for piglet

• On cement ground, spread 15-20cm of sawdust.(Size is 3.5 by 4meter.)

• Spread IMO.
• Now.
