Chapter 146 Brother, come over here to breed
After hearing Zhang Qianjin’s shout on the other side.
Old Yu, who had just returned with a bucket, was different from the leisurely man who carried the pig food before. This time, he ran over quickly, carrying a large medicine box in a hurry.
Because he also knew that these two pigs were the treasures of their farm and nothing could happen to them.
After the other party ran over.
Zhang Qianjin also pointed to the sick pig.
"Old Yu, that one, take a look at whether its left front hoof is moving too frequently!"
"Does it look like the symptoms of a cracked hoof?"
The other party observed for a while and nodded seriously.
"It does! I'll go take a closer look."
Then without saying a word, he climbed straight into the pigsty.
While the two pigs were eating, I squeezed in between them and observed.
Maybe it was because it was eating and had no time to pay attention to the other person, or maybe the pig also knew that the person had no ill intentions.
So even though the pig didn't want to show its hooves to the other party, its left front hoof was still forcibly lifted.
After that, the other party wiped it clean with gauze, looked up and said to Zhang Qianjin who was outside the pigpen.
"Zhang Chang, it is indeed a hoof crack, but it was discovered in time, so it is not serious now. Now all you need to do is apply some ointment."
After hearing the other party's confirmation.
Zhang Qianjin walked over and held Su Wenchen's hand.
"Thank you so much this time, brother."
Su Wenchen waved his hand.
"Brother, you've passed it. This isn't a serious illness. Even if I don't tell you today, you might be able to find out the problem soon."
Zhang Qianjin shook his head. It was possible to find out, but who knew what kind of accidents might happen.
"This pig is very delicate now. If it feels pain for one more day, it might be in a bad mood and get sick."
Then he looked at Su Wenchen seriously.
"Brother, I won't say any more polite words to you."
"As long as I stay at Qianjin Farm for one day, you can send your local pigs to breed with these two pigs."
"You are a smart man. You should be able to see the potential of this pig. As long as it can reach half the adaptability of our native black pigs, this pig can increase the pork production of our pig farm by half."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he didn't bother to be polite and immediately agreed.
"Then brother, I thank you in advance for going to the farm."
Because for others, this kind of pig may take more than ten years of improvement and breeding before it can be completely stable.
But for Su Wenchen it was much faster.
Only in his hands can the pig stabilize at the fastest speed and then slowly evolve into their local white pig.
Wait until that day.
It is estimated that countless large farms have sent people to their farms to borrow seeds.
At that time, it was up to our own farm to make any requests. After all, although they were all state-owned farms, they all served the people.
But they have the final say on who to lend to first and who to lend to later.
After all, no matter how strong a stud pig is, it is impossible for him to be a bridegroom every night!
Seeing that Su Wenchen agreed, Zhang Qianjin grinned, revealing his yellowish teeth and said with a smile.
"Brother, why are you so polite? But I didn't expect that you, a chicken farmer, would also know something about pigs."
Su Wenchen smiled.
"We can't just do one thing when we build a farm, don't we have to learn a little bit of everything? Besides, I'm from the countryside, and I've been exposed to raising chickens and pigs since I was a child. Plus, I'm used to observing, so I know a little bit about it."
Zhang Qianjin quite agreed.
"Brother, your insight is indeed much better than that of ordinary people. None of us noticed it, but you were the only one who noticed that there was something wrong with that pig's hoof."
"No wonder you have already made a career at such a young age."
"Come on, I'll take you to the chicken farm. I hope you can give me some pointers."
"To be honest, I was originally a pig farming technician. I can talk a lot about pig farming, but I don't know much about chicken farming."
"The egg production of our farm has always been low. In a year, we can only produce about 250,000 kilograms of eggs."
When Su Wenchen heard about the egg production, he looked at the other party with some curiosity.
"Two hundred and fifty thousand kilograms of eggs is not a small number. How many chickens do you have?"
Zhang Qiantian sighed and held up two fingers.
"There are more than 20,000 hens, but they only produce this much. In a whole year, including the culled hens, we can produce more than 300,000 kilograms of meat and eggs."
"We have to feed nearly one million kilograms of rice bran and husks every year."
"To be honest, the meat and egg production is too low. If we hadn't had enough food in the past two years, we wouldn't have planned to raise this thing."
After hearing what Zhang Qianjin said, Su Wenchen did some calculations in his mind.
The other party had more than 20,000 chickens, but in a whole year, they only produced more than 200,000 kilograms of eggs.
In other words, based on the 40-50 gram eggs laid by the other side's native chickens, a chicken only lays about 100 eggs a year.
This ratio is indeed too low.
As for their brigade's chicken farm, according to the calculation before Su Wenchen left, their brigade only had 4,000 chickens, and the annual egg production was close to 100,000 kilograms.
This is Su Wenchen's calculation based on only ten months, because after entering winter, given the conditions at the brigade's chicken farm, egg production will definitely drop sharply. This can only catch up to half of their production.
The number of hens culled in their team is definitely slightly higher than that in the chicken farm here.
But no matter how fast they are eliminated, the threefold increase in egg production alone is a win-win situation no matter how you look at it. The eliminated chickens are not thrown away, they are still chicken meat, and can be sold for a lot of extra money.
Seeing Su Wenchen fall into deep thought, Zhang Qianjin continued.
"But one good thing about raising chickens is that the cycle is short and they can provide meat and eggs in real time. Otherwise, the feed-to-egg ratio would almost catch up with raising pigs."
"The feed-to-meat ratio in our current pig farm is basically controlled at around 5:1, 5 kilograms of feed for 1 kilogram of meat. If it weren't for the slow rate of marketability, we might as well just raise pigs."
After hearing what Zhang Qianjin said, Su Wenchen also agreed.
"Indeed, I calculated that the feed-to-egg ratio of your chicken farm is almost four to one. It takes four kilograms of feed to produce one kilogram of eggs. I guess this ratio is not much different from the free-range chickens in the brigades below."
Hearing Su Wenchen say this.
Zhang Qianjin scratched the back of his head.
"In fact, we didn't eat that much. Of the one million kilograms of husks and rice bran, there is still a little more than half left in the warehouse."
"We mainly let them find their own food."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was stunned at first, then he understood instantly.
"No, brother, your chicken farm is free-range! Then I'm not surprised by your ratio."
He wondered why the other party's material-to-egg ratio was so high. After all, he had never seen such a high material-to-egg ratio in Shiquan!
Four pounds of feed produces one pound of eggs. If we feed them purely with grain, we would be at a loss!
Although many chicken farms cannot control the production of one pound of eggs for two pounds of feed like their team, one pound of eggs for four pounds of feed is not much either.
Su Wenchen asked Hou Guozhong that the chicken farms he had visited for exchanges and learning had a basic ratio of about one pound of eggs for every three pounds of feed.
After hearing Hou Guozhong's detailed explanation, Su Wenchen found that most of the problems in these chicken farms were due to feed and lighting.
The first one is that the feed types are too concentrated and the nutrients are uneven.
The second is that the lighting time is not enough, the lighting in the chicken house is unreasonable, and no fill lights are installed.
Thinking of this, Su Wenchen looked at Zhang Qianjin.
"Brother Zhang, do you really want me to give you some advice?"
Zhang Qianjin looked at Su Wenchen, nodded seriously and said.
"Brother, I won't hide it from you. After I came back, I called Lan City and asked someone to ask about your chicken farm."
"Although your Blue Water Chicken Farm is not yet completed, the egg production of your brigade's chicken farm is so high that I asked two people about it and they couldn't believe it."
"In the end, it was even our director who stepped forward and asked someone to find Deputy Director Luo of your Municipal Planning Commission. After repeated confirmation, we dared to believe it."
"Brother, let me be frank with you. If you can make our chickens lay more eggs, as long as you don't take my two sweethearts away, you can ask for anything else! We will definitely do our best to satisfy you."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he was suddenly speechless.
Good job.
Two hearts and one heart, which means you can have all the others except the two big white pigs?
The other party has invested enough money!
However, Su Wenchen felt that he was not sure how much could be fulfilled. If his request was too excessive, the other party would definitely not agree.
While the two were talking.
Arrived at the location of the chicken farm.
There is a large fenced area with countless chickens walking around inside.
After seeing this, Su Wenchen said slowly.
"Brother Zhang, if you raise laying hens, it's best to keep them in cages. It's okay to let roosters rooster free-range, but laying hens lay more eggs in cages."
Zhang Qianjin nodded.
"In fact, the manager of the chicken farm has applied for several applications to run our farm."
"But we have never done this before. We originally planned to send people to those caged chicken farms to learn a little bit, and then come back to do it."
"I just didn't expect that I was so lucky that I went to Beijing and came back by chance to meet an expert like you!"
"Let me tell you, I originally wanted to ask you how you made your insulated chicken coop, and then we can do some research on our own."
As he spoke, he looked at Su Wenchen cautiously.
"Brother, you won't be angry!"
