"Secretary Gu, well done."
"Secretary Gu, I knew you could do it."
Gu Yunyang was walking down the road; it was already afternoon.
Although the cow in the cowshed is not yet confirmed to be pregnant, the news of what happened this morning has already spread.
The brigade is only so big; if something happens, it can't be kept secret at all.
Gu Yunyang was confident that if it didn't work the first time, he would try again.
That's pretty much it.
Beast taming abilities can also be helpful in this regard.
So he accepted the praise from his teammates.
When I got back, I heard the chirping of chickens.
The hen was in the coop, clucking away.
Gu Yunyang planned to release the hen again in a few days, otherwise the hen would definitely go back along the original path.
Once it gets used to its new home, it won't leave easily.
He glanced at the worm box over there and decided to make some chicken feed.
Inside the base, Gu Yunyang had also gathered quite a few boxes, which were piled up on the plaza and had already begun to multiply.
At least when you raise these chickens at home, you don't have to worry about not having enough earthworms.
Gu Yunyang planned to promote earthworm farming throughout the entire Hongqi Brigade later.
The commune had requirements on the number of chickens and ducks that households could raise, but there were no requirements on raising earthworms.
Who cares how many earthworms you keep at home?
At worst, just leave the earthworms outside and dig them up when you need them.
Who can control what's going on outside?
Gu Yunyang had already researched the chicken feed formula.
Earthworms make up 25%-30%, and cornmeal makes up the majority, about 50%-55%.
In addition, there is wheat bran and salt.
You don't need much salt, about 1% is enough.
The weight of earthworms in the feed for broiler chickens and laying hens also needs to be adjusted.
Adding 15% earthworms to the mixed feed and feeding it to laying hens for 10 days increased egg production by 175 grams, with an average increase of 1.7 grams per egg, saving 1.4 grams of feed.
Adding 20% ​​vermicompost and 3% fresh earthworms to the formulated feed for laying hens can save 2.5 kg of feed in 20 days, produce 2 more eggs, and increase the weight of each egg by 1.2 grams.
These findings were all obtained through rigorous data collection and research by later generations.
Gu Yunyang naturally took these and used them directly.
Corn flour can be replaced with other grains.
For example, broken rice and sorghum.
It just so happens that sorghum doesn't taste very good. Apart from being used for brewing, it's not particularly tasty to eat directly.
It just so happens that the Hongqi Brigade also grows sorghum, so we can use sorghum to replace cornmeal.
After all, cornmeal can still taste good if you don't add corn on the cob and make cornmeal.
Gu Yunyang really liked to add corn flour to flour to make corn buns.
It tastes a bit sweet.
"What are you doing?" Yang Shengnan asked as Gu Yunyang was stirring something when she returned.
Gu Yunyang smiled and said, "The earthworms I raised before have now reached a certain number. The chicks have just been returned, so I made some special broiler feed using chicken feed, sorghum, and wheat bran to raise the chicks first."
Then adjust the dosage and make some feed specifically for laying hens.
This method can save on concentrated feed and increase the number of eggs laid by each hen by about two every 20 days.
This number may not seem like much, roughly one extra every 10 days.
But over the course of a year, there were about 36.
If raised properly, this number can be increased.
Two chickens per household equals over seventy eggs.
