Chapter 316: Lao Hou, you, a man with thick eyebrows and big eyes, have also learned to flatter!
Su Wenchen just took a look.
I found that those who were isolated were all caused by eating only one kind of food, so I said directly.
"Don't just feed alfalfa. This breed of rabbit needs a concentrated feed. It should be fed with alfalfa mixed with soybean meal and corn."
When Hou Guozhong heard this, he was stunned at first, then frowned a little.
"So they can only eat concentrated feed? I was wondering why they could only be raised on state-owned farms in places like Harbin!"
"But this isn't suitable for our farm!"
"There's not enough corn and soybeans for humans to eat, so how can we possibly feed them to rabbits?"
After hearing this, Su Wenchen continued to walk to the next room and spoke directly.
"I'll look at other breeds first, and then try to breed them with this breed of meat rabbits to see if there's a chance I can create a rabbit that only eats alfalfa."
"This kind of meat rabbit that grows fast and has good meat quality has a good foundation!"
Enter the third room.
All the rabbits in this room are dark brown and relatively large. Su Wenchen took a quick look and estimated that the largest one weighed nearly ten kilograms.
Belgian Rabbit LV0
Current status: Breeder rabbit screening period
Fattening direction training: increase subcutaneous fat content, enhance muscle deposition efficiency, optimize feed conversion rate, and enhance transportation stress tolerance
Fur cultivation: brighten the dark brown hair, expand the high-quality leather area on the back and waist, enhance high temperature tolerance, and improve resistance to fur diseases
Introduction: A large Belgian meat rabbit breed with a slender body and well-developed muscles. Its dark hair has strong heat absorption, but it needs ample space for exercise and has extremely high requirements for cages.
"Director, these are Belgian rabbits imported from the Shandong Province state-owned meat rabbit breeding base. Although this type of rabbit doesn't grow as fast, it's the largest!"
"It also has the lowest mortality rate in our farm, except for the local rabbits!"
He said this by pointing to the largest rabbit, which he thought was the only thing he could show off this time.
"Director, we just weighed this one, and it weighs a full ten pounds! It can't even fit into the cage if it stands up."
"And it can tolerate roughage, straw, leaves, alfalfa, it can eat everything."
"He always eats less for no apparent reason, and sometimes he even chews on the cage."
As they were talking, a rabbit in the distance was trying hard to hit the iron cage, but compared with the huge iron cage, its strength was just a drop in the bucket.
However, the noise created still attracted Su Wenchen's attention.
After the two walked over, Su Wenchen looked at the rabbit, which was obviously very annoyed. When the rabbit saw them coming, it didn't even show any intention of retreating.
Normal rabbits, due to their nature, will subconsciously hide behind people as soon as they approach.
Of course, there are also some brave ones who just pretend that the person doesn't exist.
However, this was the first time Su Wenchen had seen a creature rush forward and ram the cage.
After approaching, Hou Guozhong asked directly in confusion.
"Director, you said this is also delicious food and drink to serve."
"I wasn't bitten by a dog, so why are you acting like a madman?"
"Do you think this breed of rabbit has any hidden diseases that we don't know about?"
After observing carefully, Su Wenchen looked at the other person speechlessly.
"Old Hou, what would you become of me if I locked you up in a small place where you couldn't even stand up?"
When Hou Guozhong heard this, his eyes widened instantly.
The next moment, he slapped his head.
"So that's how it is. I was wondering why this rabbit seemed so easy to raise, but why does it always get sick for no apparent reason?"
"Love is like being disgusted by the small environment and wanting to run away!"
"But it's true. Although our cages are large enough for other rabbits, they are a bit small for a large rabbit like this. No wonder this problem occurred."
"Director, please wait a moment. I'll call someone over to see if we can change their cages."
With that, Hou Guozhong hurried to the door.
I saw a few employees chatting under the straw shed in the yard and cutting alfalfa with choppers.
"If anyone of you has time, go call a few male workers from the storage bin next door and have them bring over the wooden cages we made earlier!"
"Tell them to bring their tools, I'm afraid they can't get in through this door."
After hearing Hou Guozhong's words, the lady who had stopped Su Wenchen before immediately stepped forward to express her opinion.
"Chief Hou, I'm very nimble, I'll go!"
Having said that, he ran outside without waiting for Hou Guozhong's consent.
The others were dissatisfied when they saw that the director had finally come over but his chance to show off was snatched away by someone else.
"Humph, Chuntao's mother just loves to show off. I think she just wants to show off in front of the director!"
"Who said it wasn't true? And you said her legs were bad! Look at her nimble calves!"
Hearing the group of women start to chatter again, Hou Guozhong didn't want to interfere.
Because he couldn't understand these women, they would quarrel over trivial matters.
He intervened a few times at first, but later found that he was completely unnecessary, because everyone started to blame him for meddling in other people's business, as if nothing had happened.
Anyway, he completely couldn't understand it, so it was generally not a big deal, and he didn't want to bother with such verbal matters anymore.
But he still went back to the house and explained a few things to Su Wenchen.
"Director, we actually made some cages at the beginning."
"But they're all made of wood, so they're not as convenient as the custom-made iron cages at the headquarters."
“So we gave it up later, but now it seems that raising these large Belgian rabbits is really useful.”
"That wooden cage is much bigger, it's definitely big enough for these rabbits to move around."
Soon, a group of people came in carrying huge wooden box-like objects.
It was so big that it had to be disassembled before it could be moved into the rabbit hive.
However, since it is made of wood, it is easy to assemble after re-nailing.
It took just over an hour to move the larger Belgian rabbits to the new cage.
This time it was much higher, and even the two rabbits couldn't reach the top.
And it's also much more spacious.
However, its light transmittance is much lower than that of a wire cage.
However, seeing that the Belgian rabbits inside were obviously much more active, the employees who helped feed them every day also looked at the rabbit cage in surprise.
"Hey, you guys are really active now!"
"I was wondering if the rabbits in this room always seem listless. It turns out they're dissatisfied with the small size of their cages!"
"We thought of so many possibilities. I even considered whether the rabbit had epilepsy, but I never thought that it was because the cage was too small."
“Who says it’s not?”
Hou Guozhong also looked at Su Wenchen with some admiration.
"Director, when it comes to breeding, I think your observation skills are sharper than an eagle's, and your brain is better than ours."
"I'd never guess it, but this rabbit got sick because it was too small to be in such a small place."
"I've tried many things, but I've never tried changing their cages."
"As for the diarrhea issue mentioned earlier, you were able to identify the problem at a glance, Director."
Although it has not been tested before, Hou Guozhong has confidence.
What his director said must be correct. This was due to his absolute confidence, as he had witnessed this miraculous ability time and time again since he started working at the brigade's chicken farm.
When Su Wenchen heard this, he immediately became annoyed.
“That’s enough!”
"Old Hou, you've gradually become a leader. Your skills haven't improved much, but your flattery skills have!"
Hearing this, Hou Guozhong suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"Director, I'm not flattering you, I really feel that way!"
"Your ability to see things at a glance is like having X-ray vision. I don't think I can learn it in my lifetime."
Su Wenchen waved his hand, looked at the house at the end, and said directly.
"Alright, if you keep praising me, I'll be proud."
"Are these the only ones you've introduced? No others?"
Hou Guozhong immediately said helplessly.
"Director, it's not that easy to introduce breeding rabbits!"
"I brought this in under the banner of our main farm. If I didn't use the banner of our main farm, the farm wouldn't even bother me!"
"I even pushed out the old seedlings. They were able to send these breeding rabbits so quickly because they were thinking of introducing our ordinary-grade Yuehua rabbits from our farm."
Su Wenchen also understood Hou Guozhong's helplessness.
Although they are all state-owned farms, it is impossible for them to cooperate unconditionally just because you ask.
Either let the superiors issue accurate orders, or the two sides negotiate among themselves.
But this also comes at a price.
For such simple matters, Su Wenchen would rather exchange resources with others than ask his superiors for help directly.
It is obviously not a cost-effective deal to ask your superiors just to save a few resources.
It’s not that Su Wenchen was embarrassed to talk to his superiors. When he was in Beijing before the New Year, he had all kinds of excavators, large tractors, and large quotas of diesel, and he was not embarrassed at all.
But if such a small matter still requires orders from higher-ups, it would show that their farm is very unpopular.
After all, introducing rabbits does not mean emptying other people's farms, especially for rabbits like these, dozens or hundreds of them are just a drop in the bucket for the scale of farm breeding.
Just when Su Wenchen and Hou Guozhong were about to go out, Chun Tauniang stopped Su Wenchen and reminded him by asking someone to lift the cage.
"Section Chief Hou, you forgot that you also let us raise several rabbits in the backyard!"
"Director, why don't you go take a look? We're taking good care of those."
"They eat everything, and other than growing a little slower, they have no other disadvantages."
Hearing this, Su Wenchen immediately looked at Hou Guozhong.
Hou Guozhong immediately remembered.
"Yes, yes, Director, I almost forgot about the ones in the backyard."
"But those are local white rabbits. I can't remember which one is healthy or not."
Of course, Hou Guozhong forgot because this kind of native rabbit is easy to obtain. Since he can go to the surrounding areas to buy it at any time, he naturally didn't care much about it.
In addition, since it is a local variety, it is unlikely to have any problems with acclimatization, so he needs to worry less.
However, after hearing this, Su Wenchen felt that he really needed to go and see the properties of the native rabbits.
If possible, Su Wenchen thinks that it is still necessary to use local breeds as the mother breed and absorb the advantages of other rabbit breeds.
In fact, the Yuehua rabbit was finally born after several generations of breeding with local breeds.
If it weren't for the genes of the native white rabbit, he estimated that the Yuehua rabbit would not be so adaptable.
