Chapter 315 Director, you can see this?
After Su Wenchen walked out of the field compound.
After walking west along the rammed earth road for about five minutes, a farm converted from an old commune warehouse slowly came into view.
When Su Wenchen approached, he could see various slogans painted on the mottled earthen walls of the farm, such as "breeding meat rabbits to ensure food security, and building a home through self-reliance."
But when you look at the base of the wall, you can see obvious traces of lime being sprinkled several times.
My heart still sank.
Obviously, Lao Hou has used lime to disinfect the place countless times, but the effect should not be particularly obvious.
At this time, except for their main farm, most places have not yet trained veterinarians specifically responsible for treating rabbits.
If you want to treat pigs or chickens, you can at least go to the city veterinary station to find a solution.
After all, these two are the main poultry and livestock, and veterinarians in almost all places mainly know how to treat pigs, cattle, sheep, chickens and the like.
Su Wenchen also understood that this was actually related to value. For many members in rural areas, the value of most rabbits was actually not very high.
Unless it is a special leather rabbit like theirs, or a wool rabbit that has been specially sheared.
Otherwise, even if it is a local wild rabbit, you can't sell it for much money after raising it. Considering the effort and the cost of seeing a veterinarian and taking medicine if it gets sick, even the slightest extra cost will not be enough to cover the cost.
Since there is no market for this, naturally no veterinarian would be interested in studying how to treat rabbits.
As for state-owned breeding farms, they are basically the same as Su Wenchen’s farm, and they all train specialized veterinary technicians internally.
We are now in the stage of observing, exploring and summarizing various diseases of rabbits!
It will take at least another three to five years of development to form a complete systematic treatment method for rabbits.
This is because of the sudden emergence of Yuehua Rabbit, and many local state-owned farms suddenly began to pay attention to rabbits.
Otherwise, Su Wenchen estimated that the development of the rabbit farming industry would have to wait until after the reform and opening up, when private farms entered the market, before it could be further promoted.
Open the door of the farm.
There is a large courtyard in front of you.
There were several older female workers in the yard at this time. They were holding scythes and chopping alfalfa into pieces under a straw shed.
See Su Wenchen walk in.
Suddenly, an elderly lady put down her hands and walked over.
"What are you doing? Don't you know this is a breeding farm?"
"Don't come in and look around if you have nothing to do. If you bring any poison in, you will be responsible for it!"
As he said this, he was about to drive Su Wenchen out.
And seeing that Su Wenchen had no intention of leaving, he immediately prepared to step forward and push him.
"Hurry up and leave, or I'll have the security department kick you out!"
Just when Su Wenchen was about to explain.
Hou Guozhong came out of the house with a frown on his face, the moment he saw Su Wenchen.
He immediately showed a look of surprise and ran over and shouted.
"Director, great! You're finally here!"
"If you don't come over, I won't be able to hold on any longer."
After saying that, he also said to the lady who just walked out.
"Mrs. Chun Tao, this is Director Su! Didn't you come when we were building the farm?"
When the other party heard this, he was suddenly at a loss and quickly explained to Su Wenchen.
"Director, I don't know. My legs and feet aren't very good, so I didn't come over that day. I really didn't know it was you. It was our Section Chief Hou who said we couldn't let anyone in casually."
"I just thought you might be like everyone else, just curious and came here to watch the fun!"
Su Wenchen shook his head.
"It's okay! I went to the headquarters right after the meeting. It's normal that you don't recognize me. Just go about your business."
Then he spoke to Hou Guozhong.
"Let's go! Let's go in and see the rabbits first!"
Su Wenchen naturally couldn't take this little thing to heart. Besides, he didn't show up much at the branch site, so it was normal that few people knew him.
Hearing Su Wenchen's words, Hou Guozhong immediately nodded and led the way.
"Come on, come on, Director. I'm telling you, these rabbits have been giving me a lot of trouble lately. If you come over, I can finally breathe a sigh of relief and hand over some of the rabbits to you safely."
After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the rabbit house in the house with Su Wenchen.
After seeing Su Wenchen and Hou Guozhong enter the house, the old lady behind them immediately spoke to her companions in a hurry.
"What should I do? What should I do?"
"You didn't even remind me, how could I have stopped the director?"
"He can't just fire me!"
Then he spoke to his companions with a complaining tone.
"I was wondering why you were so silent just now. It turns out you were just watching me get tricked!"
It is obvious from the words that the other party cherishes the current job very much.
The others immediately comforted him.
"It's okay. The director is such a big boss, he definitely won't bother with you!"
"That's right, I can sit with Director Shi from the county. Why would I bother with you about such a small matter?"
"Humph, that's so easy for you to say. Why didn't you get on just now?"
In the house.
Su Wenchen was observing carefully in front of a row of rabbit cages made of wire mesh.
Each wire cage was covered with hay, some of which had been gnawed into a mess.
The rabbits in the cages all looked listless, especially when they saw someone approaching, they all hid in the corner and trembled.
Hou Guozhong also walked to the front of the rabbit cage and introduced it to Su Wenchen.
First, he pointed to a large rabbit with upright ears in a cage.
"These are big-eared white rabbits imported from the Shanghai Animal Husbandry Station. I heard they're also a new breed imported from Japan after our Yuehua rabbits came out last year."
"Like the Yuehua rabbits in our farm, they're a breed that can be used for both skin and meat. It's said that they can grow to a maximum weight of ten kilograms when fully grown. That's why I chose this breed."
Su Wenchen looked at the rabbit in the cage, which was obviously in a bad mood.
Because Hou Guozhong had tried to feed it before, it was the breeding feed originally used for Yuehua rabbits.
So Su Wenchen can directly see the other party's attributes.
Big-eared white rabbit LV0
Current status: Eating
Breeding direction: reduce environmental stress response, improve embryo survival rate, accelerate ear blood vessel development, and enhance antibiotic tolerance
Fur cultivation: purify the transparent white hair on the ears, expand the ear membrane area, increase the skin area, and enhance parasite resistance
Introduction: This experimental rabbit breed requires careful care and is very prone to stress. Its characteristic large ears have clear blood vessels and are suitable for vaccine production and various medical experiments. Its meat fibers are relatively coarse.
Seeing the attributes, Su Wenchen shook his head.
"These rabbits are not suitable for meat. They were probably brought here for medical experiments. As meat rabbits, they are too easily stressed out, and the staff don't have the energy to take good care of them."
When Hou Guozhong heard this, he looked at Su Wenchen in surprise.
"Director, you can see this?"
He raised them personally for a month, and out of the fifty pairs of rabbits, only twelve pairs were left due to the death of the rabbits.
Only then did he confirm that this rabbit was just as the animal husbandry station had said, and it would basically not survive outside the laboratory.
He didn't say anything about this kind of rabbit before, but the director saw through it at a glance.
Then he said to Su Wenchen with an admiring look.
"Director, this rabbit is just as you said. It's incredibly timid. Sometimes, if something falls on the ground, it will be so frightened that it won't eat for several days."
"In the end, he starved himself to death. To be honest, Director, I've seen timid rabbits before, but this is the first time I've seen one as timid as this."
Just then Hou Guozhong spoke a little louder.
The rabbit, which had been eating cautiously, immediately stopped eating and looked around in fear.
After seeing that the status above had become stressful, Su Wenchen shook his head helplessly.
"Let's go! You scared me to death again."
Hearing this, Hou Guozhong looked at the rabbit in the cage, which was obviously in a state of stress, and said helplessly.
"Director, there's really nothing we can do. If we expand the scale of rabbit farming, the employees won't dare to speak up."
Then the two of them walked into the next room.
When Su Wenchen saw this, he felt much more normal than before.
However, there were still a group of listless ones in the separate cages, but there were also some that were not afraid at all when they saw the two people coming and were still eating peacefully.
Su Wenchen took a look.
New Zealand White Rabbit LV0
Current status: Fattening
Fattening breeding can be selected to improve conception rate, shorten the market cycle (120 days → 90 days), enhance digestive enzyme activity (improve feed utilization), and improve coccidiosis resistance.
Optional fur cultivation: maintain the stability of pure white fur color, optimize the skin-to-flesh ratio, enhance high-density breeding tolerance, and improve resistance to foot dermatitis diseases
Introduction: High-quality meat rabbits of North American origin, with snow-white body and extremely tender meat, need to be raised with a mixture of high-quality alfalfa, soybean meal and other concentrated feed.
"Director, these are New Zealand white rabbits imported from Harbin!"
When Su Wenchen saw the attributes, he nodded in satisfaction.
"This breed is a good introduction. It grows fast and has good meat quality, but it requires a concentrated feed, which is a bit of a downside!"
"But this variety does have the potential for further cultivation."
When Hou Guozhong heard this, he looked at the New Zealand white rabbit eating in the cage several times with his eyes.
He was really completely convinced, because he really didn't know how this was seen!
"Director, you're absolutely right. This type of rabbit's favorite food is our alfalfa. Since we just planted our own, I even had Dongfeng Commune send us a truckload."
"However, although rabbits love to eat this kind of thing, eating too much will cause diarrhea."
"He pointed to the sickly New Zealand white rabbits that had been isolated."
"Director, look at those sick rabbits that are constantly suffering from diarrhea. They won't eat straw or leaves, so if you keep feeding them alfalfa, they'll continue to have diarrhea. I'm so worried about this now."
