Chapter 279 After the promotion is completed, our country will have at least an additional one-third of meat supply!
At this time, Su Wenchen was sitting upright in the first row, with beads of sweat on the back of his neck. He could feel that everyone was watching him from all directions.
If eyes could see through people at this moment, Su Wenchen felt that his body would have been full of holes.
However, Su Wenchen also knew that this kind of pig breed with a short market life and high feed-to-meat ratio must be extremely attractive now.
And this is not just about shortening the time to market, but about raising more pigs with the same feed.
If pork production increases significantly, the demand for grain will decrease slightly.
This way, a lot of extra space for food movement can be saved, which means many farms can do more.
On the rostrum.
The old man looked at the heated discussions in the audience, which were as lively as in a vegetable market, and saw many people who were fidgeting as if there were nails under their buttocks.
They all looked in the direction of Su Wenchen. If they were not in a meeting, the old man felt that Su Wenchen would have been surrounded by people at this moment.
He knew that these people must have a lot of questions in their minds now, just like when he first heard about this kind of white pig.
It was also completely unbelievable that it was cultivated suddenly without any warning.
So the old man looked around first, then tapped the mottled pine table with his fingers, asking everyone to keep quiet in the meeting room.
Then he spoke calmly.
"I know you must have a lot of questions, so I specially invited Comrade Su Wenchen from Blue Water Farm to come here."
"Now, let him introduce you to the various information and data about this new localized white pig breed."
"After the introduction, if you have any questions, you can ask them in an orderly manner."
After saying that, the old man glanced at Su Wenchen and started to applaud first, and then the participants in the audience followed suit.
Instantly, intense applause filled the entire venue.
Su Wenchen, who was sitting below, took a deep breath, took the manuscript in his hand, stood up and walked towards the podium on the left side of the rostrum.
Standing on the podium, Su Wenchen looked at the hundreds of people in the crowd below, all of whom were staring at him intently.
I first calmed myself down, and then began to speak according to the words I had been organizing in my mind.
"Dear leaders, fellow comrades in the agricultural and animal husbandry sectors of the revolutionary front, hello everyone!"
"I'm Su Wenchen, the head of Blue Water Farm!"
"Under the guidance of the national policy of 'taking grain as the key link and pursuing all-round development,' and under the correct leadership of leaders at all levels."
"Our Blue Water Farm pig breeding team, adhering to the principle of 'independence and self-reliance,' has successfully developed a new breed of white pigs adapted to our country's native growth environment after one year and nine months. We would like to report the details to the conference as follows."
"Currently, pig farming in our country generally suffers from the problems of 'three highs and one low'."
"First and foremost, feed consumption is high. The feed-to-meat ratio is basically five to one, which is a huge waste of our already limited coarse grain feed."
"The second issue is the long fattening cycle. Currently, the fattening cycle for most of our local black pigs takes twelve to fourteen months, which in turn increases feed costs."
"The third issue is the high cost of raising pigs. Since the pig-market cycle is so long, most families in production teams with limited financial resources simply cannot afford to raise more pigs."
"This also leads to the final problem, which is the low slaughter rate!"
"When the time to market is long, there are bound to be high unknown risks. State-owned farms like ours are actually doing quite well."
"Everyone has skills and connections. Even if there's a swine fever, the country will back them up, and we still have the courage to regroup and fight again."
"But it's different for the commune members below. Their foundation is too weak, let alone a serious disease like swine fever."
"It's just a common illness. If the veterinarian doesn't arrive in time, it would easily make the hard work of these members for a year go to waste."
"The more difficult a family's situation is, the more likely they are to live in areas with inconvenient transportation, and the greater the probability of what I mentioned above happening."
As Su Wenchen spoke, most people in the audience were also thinking.
They had to admit that what Su Wenchen said were the problems that needed to be solved urgently.
Of course, many people have known this for a long time. The reason they didn’t mention it directly before was because they didn’t have a solution.
After all, it's not normal to just raise questions without offering solutions.
Because an ordinary person can raise questions at will, but as a leading cadre in this industry system, the treatment you enjoy is to let you solve problems and do work.
You are not just asked to ask questions, you are also needed to find problems. Just go to anyone on the street and you will find out.
So solving the problem is the most difficult thing.
Now that they saw that Su Wenchen dared to put it forward directly, many people looked at the young man on the podium with some anticipation.
On the podium.
The reason why Su Wenchen mentioned the difficulties first was to provide an anchor point for comparison.
He thought about this for a long time last night before deciding, otherwise he would just come up and read out the data.
Although many people who have bred breeding pigs may understand it, farm leaders most likely will not understand it.
After all, many farms have their own specialties, such as farms that specialize in growing cotton, farms that specialize in growing grain, and farms that specialize in growing rubber. For these farms, raising pigs is just to fill the meat gap for employees.
However, after talking about the current practical difficulties, we are ready to get to the point. Otherwise, it will be useless to just raise problems without solving them.
After turning a page of the manuscript, Su Wenchen continued.
"I can now clearly explain to you the issues I mentioned earlier."
"To address these issues, our farm's breeding team has combined hybrid selection with targeted breeding. This has resulted in three breakthroughs in addressing these 'three highs and one low' issues."
"First, the most important breakthrough is in feed conversion efficiency."
"The new breed of white pigs can still maintain a stable feed-to-meat ratio of 3.5 to 1 when fed with 60% roughage."
Su Wenchen said directly after looking at many people calculating with notebooks below.
"Let me put it this way. Based on the normal 200-jin (approximately 200 kg) standard for slaughter, this new breed of white pig can save approximately 300 to 350 kilograms (approximately 100 to 200 kg) of feed compared to traditional black pigs."
"This feed is enough to raise another half-grown piglet."
"If this policy is implemented nationwide, our country's meat supply will increase by at least one-third."
As soon as the words fell.
“Wow!”
There was immediate applause from the audience.
Obviously, this is a good thing for all the farms present, because whether the extra meat is exchanged for resources or turned into welfare, it is a good thing for them.
After hearing this, Zhang Qianjin had to admire the breeding ability of Lanshui Farm. It was also a breeding pig.
How come he can only breed pig breeds with average health and even unstable genetic traits?
Over there, they can directly achieve this kind of all-round crushing pig breed.
Could it be that this pig also knows how to judge the person he is serving?
After the applause died down, Su Wenchen continued.
"The second is the breakthrough in the growth cycle that everyone already knows about."
"Through hybrid breeding, we have shortened the fattening cycle to six months. Compared to the traditional black pigs that take a whole year to be marketed, this has been cut in half."
"In six months, they can fully reach the standard of about 200 kilograms for slaughter."
"Because the time to market is short, the risks of time and feeding costs are also greatly reduced. In the past, we could have no problems for a whole year, but now we only need to have no problems for six months."
"These white pigs actually gain weight very quickly in the early stages, reaching over 100 kilograms in just three months. So as long as there aren't any problems within those three months, the breeding cooperative members won't lose everything."
"Finally, there's a breakthrough in adaptability. Through selective breeding and crossbreeding with local black pigs, this white pig has now successfully overcome the problem of only being able to eat concentrated feed."
"Since they've arrived in our country, they have to adapt to our lifestyle. So now these new white pigs can eat both canteen swill and the leftovers produced by the members of the cooperative. They can also adapt to a mixed diet of roughage and concentrates, such as wheat bran, straw, and soybean meal."
"This new breed of white pigs can already meet the basic cycle requirements of our current 'using agriculture to support animal husbandry, and using animal husbandry to promote agriculture.'"
"That's all the data for now. If you have any questions, please feel free to ask and I'll answer them."
As soon as he finished speaking, the meeting room fell silent.
An elderly man with gray hair in the front row immediately stood up and spoke excitedly.
"Comrade Su, I'm from the Heilongjiang Provincial Agricultural Reclamation Bureau. I have a question. Winters are very long over there. Can these pigs be cold-resistant? Can they meet the environmental requirements over there?"
Su Wenchen shook his head when he heard this.
"The stress resistance tests we're doing now are limited to temperatures between -5 degrees Celsius and 30 degrees Celsius."
"The winter temperature in your area has almost reached -15 degrees Celsius. If you want to raise them outdoors, I think it's highly unlikely that they will work."
"But as long as you can ensure the temperature in the pig house meets the standard, the growth rate will not be greatly affected."
Of course, the reason why Su Wenchen did not conduct such extreme stress resistance tests is because it is not necessary at the moment.
Most pigs cannot survive being raised outdoors in an environment of minus ten to twenty degrees Celsius.
And even if you can withstand it, you probably won't gain much weight.
When the old man heard this, he nodded excitedly.
"Five degrees below zero is enough, it's enough!"
Su Wenchen nodded.
"Comrades, do you have any questions?"
As soon as he finished speaking, many people in the audience immediately raised their hands.
The question-and-answer session continued for more than two hours. Su Wenchen finally returned to his seat after speaking until his mouth was a little dry.
After sitting down, Su Wenchen felt his legs were a little numb. He took out the teacup in front of him and took a big gulp of tea.
He didn't expect these people to have so many problems.
It was the old man on the rostrum who stopped him directly, otherwise these people probably wouldn't have planned to let him come down.
After Su Wenchen finished speaking, the old man coughed lightly and spoke slowly.
"Everyone is pretty much clear on the situation now. If there are any questions, please go down and discuss it privately. Now I'll tell you about the promotion plan currently provided by the ministry."
"If you have any opinions later, you can also raise them."
As soon as these words were spoken, almost everyone's eyes lit up, because everyone understood that whoever could introduce it first would gain the upper hand in subsequent promotion.
Especially for the leaders of the Animal Husbandry Bureaus of some provinces and cities, for them, this not only concerns the animal husbandry under them, but also affects their own progress speed.
It will naturally be easier to achieve results in places where promotion and implementation are first achieved.
Moreover, if others introduce it from you, it will be a sure win whether it is a favor or resource exchange.
So naturally we have to try our best.
On the rostrum, the old man saw this and said directly without hesitation.
"After listening to opinions from Blue Water Farm, the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, the Animal Husbandry Bureau, and other relevant departments, and based on the current situation of Blue Water Farm's breeding pig production, the ministry decided to adopt a 'three firsts, three lasts' promotion strategy."
"It will be promoted first in state-owned farms, and then spread to collective pig farms and production team family pig farms."
"It will be promoted first in areas with sufficient feed, and then gradually in general areas with food shortages."
"Prioritize training of technical backbones and then roll out the system on a full scale."
"Currently, the ministry has teamed up with the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and Blue Water Farm to develop the 'New White Pig Management Regulations', which will cover a full set of procedures including epidemic prevention, breeding, and feed nutrient ratios."
"Subsequently, units that receive the first batch of promotion indicators must immediately select their best personnel and send them to Blue Water Farm to participate in technical backbone training."
"I hope that the technical backbones you send over there can bend down their bodies, lower their heads, and seriously and thoroughly learn a series of technologies such as various epidemic prevention, breeding, and ingredient preparation."
"Comrades! This time I visited Blue Water Farm and was deeply touched, not only in terms of epidemic prevention and breeding."
"There are many things you can learn from their farm's employee management and working methods."
"Of course, the department won't make any requirements for these matters. You can adjust them according to your actual situation."
After saying this, the old man looked at the time.
"It's almost time. Let's have lunch at noon and then continue discussing the specific arrangements for the first batch of promotion units in the afternoon."
After saying that, he looked at the leader coming over from the courtyard next to him.
"Leader, do you want to say something?"
The other party waved his hand.
"I've already told you that I'm only bringing my eyes today, not my mouth. You guys can make your own arrangements."
Since they had already discussed it in the courtyard, the old man nodded.
"Then we'll stop here for the morning. Let's take a break and continue in the afternoon."
As soon as the meeting ended, a group of people immediately packed up their notebooks and ran towards the front left.
Some people who were quick to react knew the reason and quickly followed.
"Comrade Su, I'm from the Dangyang State Farm. Can we exchange phone numbers?"
"Comrade Su, I'm from the Suizhou Animal Husbandry Bureau. Can I have your company's phone number?"
"Comrade Su, I'm Zhoukou."
"Comrade Su!"
Almost immediately after the meeting was adjourned, Su Wenchen suddenly realized that he was surrounded by people holding notebooks.
It can be said that it is surrounded by three layers inside and three layers outside.
After seeing this scene, the old man shook his head and said something.
"Because this meeting was postponed, our comrades from the Agricultural Reclamation Bureau specially purchased ten large Blue Water roosters from the Blue Water Farm to provide lunch for our comrades attending the meeting."
"Everyone, please try to go there early! If you go too late, you might just be able to smell the food."
After saying that, he felt a little helpless when he saw that Su Wenchen was still surrounded by a crowd of people.
"Let's go! Leader, let's go to the cafeteria!"
"I'm afraid this kid won't be able to come out for half an hour. I'll go tell the cafeteria to leave some food for him in advance."
Hearing this, the other party immediately laughed.
"Haha, it's your turn as a leader to save some food for him!"
The old man also packed up the documents and replied with a smile.
"Leader, as long as it's good for our country's agriculture and animal husbandry, and we can cultivate more livestock breeds that are suitable for our national conditions, I'd be fine with you, not to mention leaving food for them, even if I could be their chef!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the other party shook his head repeatedly.
"Don't bother me, don't I know your cooking skills?"
"You can even make boiled cabbage in plain water inedible. If I were to ask you, you'd be wasting food by cooking."
The old man said dissatisfiedly.
"Boss, what you said is wrong. I just haven't done it often enough. Before I joined the team, I wanted to be a chef!"
soon.
After the number of people in the venue gradually decreased, Su Wenchen wrote down the phone number of the last person.
The other party invited directly.
"Comrade Su, there's no one else here, why don't we go to the cafeteria to eat together?"
"Closing the notebook that has already been packed with pages."
He looked at Zhang Qianjin who had been waiting for him in the distance and shook his head to refuse.
"Comrade, I'm so sorry, a friend of mine is already waiting for me. Let's wait until later!"
"When you have the chance to come to our Lan City, I will treat you well."
Hearing this, the other party did not force it, but just said it with a smile.
"That's fine too. If you have the opportunity to come to Ningxia on a business trip, you must contact me!"
"Then I'll take you to try the beach sheep from our Yanchi area. Let me tell you, our beach sheep are famous for their tender meat and lack of mutton smell!"
"Except for some special channels, you can hardly eat this kind of mutton outside our local area."
When Su Wenchen heard this, he smiled and nodded.
"Don't worry, if I have the chance to go, I will definitely contact you first."
Afterwards, Su Wenchen immediately kept the notebook filled with addresses, phone numbers and names in a safe place.
In this era, this notebook is a precious treasure.
In this era of underdeveloped information dissemination, it is generally very troublesome to inquire about information in other regions.
At this time, if you have a local friend, especially a friend within the system.
Then it will be relatively easy for you to find out the information you need.
So having many friends in this era is really useful.
Now if he needs to find out something, he doesn't have to go through the trouble of looking for others to ask indirectly like before.
He can just take out his little notebook, find the people in this place, and ask around to find the person who can act as a matchmaker.
Because most people in a place actually know each other.
Although the specific matters may still need to be discussed, being able to directly find the real culprit has already saved a lot of trouble.
At this point, almost everyone in the venue had left.
There were only two people wearing armbands guarding the video recorder. Su Wenchen thought that they were probably afraid that someone would damage these valuable equipment.
After putting away his notebook, Su Wenchen also walked to the third row.
"Brother Qianjin, you've been waiting for me!"
"Why don't you just go to the cafeteria early? Why are you still waiting for me?"
"I guess there's no more meat dishes now. You'll probably have to eat vegetarian food with me."
Zhang Qianjin saw that Su Wenchen still had the same expression as before.
Said directly with a smile.
"Haha, brother, if I were to eat with you right now, even if it's just boiled cabbage, there would be a lot of people rushing to eat it!"
Su Wenchen simply waved his hand.
"Brother, you're exaggerating. We at the farm can't decide on the promotion of White Pig. The department has the final say."
"But no matter what, I will definitely do my best to help you advance to the farm this afternoon."
When Zhang Qianjin heard this, he felt relieved.
Because if Su Wenchen regrets it now and doesn't intend to admit what he said before, he actually has no way to stop him.
"Okay then. Thank you for your help, brother."
At this moment, Yang Fusheng next to him couldn't help but pull Zhang Qianjin's sleeve several times.
Comrade, please introduce me first!
I'm a living person standing right in front of you and you can't see it!
And why did he wait for so long and not go there alone to exchange contact information?
Don’t you just want me to introduce you to you individually?
Zhang Qianjin was also in a good mood after receiving Su Wenchen's promise.
He was also willing to help the other party, so he pointed at Yang Fusheng and introduced him.
"Brother Su, this is Comrade Yang Fusheng from the Eryuan County State Farm!"
"He happened to be sitting next to me, and he's also a very young farm leader like you."
Although Zhang Qianjin introduced the other party, he did not say much about the other party being a friend. He just stated the facts he knew and let Su Wenchen decide for himself.
Su Wenchen naturally heard it, but he still reached out his hand.
"Hello, Comrade Fusheng!"
“Everyone can exchange and learn from each other if there is an opportunity.”
Because he saw few younger people in this venue.
Although there is still a certain age gap between him and me, overall the age gap between us is much smaller.
After hearing this, Yang Fusheng was immediately surprised.
"Director Su, you are too polite. We should learn from you."
Su Wenchen smiled.
"Everyone learns from each other. It's getting late. Let's go to the cafeteria first! Otherwise, the food will get cold."
