Bacterial Powder Solution for GHG reducing

 

Current Practices and Environmental Impact:

Many goat farmers in Vietnam currently lack practices that protect the environment.  Goat manure and urine can release harmful gases, such as methane (CH4), ammonia (NH3), and hydrogen sulfide (H2S), and contribute to unpleasant odors.

A. Project Goals:

This project aims to develop a powder containing bacteria strains like Actinomyces sp., Bacillus sp., Thermobacillus sp., and Streptomyces sp. These bacteria may help reduce harmful gas emissions and unpleasant odors associated with goat manure.

B. Project Phases:

1. Lab Development: The project will first develop and test the bacterial powder.

2. Pilot Production: this phase will be conducted to manufacture 200 kg of the bacterial powder.

3. Free Distribution and Farmer Education: 4 kg of the powder will be distributed free of charge to each of 50 participating goat farms in the Central Highlands of Vietnam.

C. Scaling Up the Impact:

To reach a wider audience, we will create video clips explaining the benefits of the bacterial powder and the importance of sustainable goat farming practices. These videos will be uploaded to Youtube and Facebook.

D. Estimated Impact:

1. Direct Impact: The project will directly target 50 goat farms , approximately 5,000 goats. The project aims to potentially mitigate the volume of gas (e.g., 200,000 cubic meters based on the provided calculation).

2. Indirect Impact:  The project estimates indirectly benefit 60 hectares of durian, jackfruit, and coffee farms by enriching their soil ecology. Additionally, it could potentially support the growth of 60,000 trees.
