Suddenly, a group of aunties rushed in.
Gu Yunyang also quickly took a few steps back; it's not good for men and women to get too close.
The aunties were still laughing and joking, reaching out to touch Gu Yunyang.
Because Gu Yunyang is relatively young, they are not so bold as to expose themselves, otherwise, outsiders would talk about them.
Gu Yunyang twisted his body a few times and withdrew from the aunties' lively groping.
These married women are really bold.
In such a conservative era, they actually dared to do this.
He didn't want to be taken advantage of by his aunties.
The aunties were just joking, and seeing this, they didn't say anything more.
The group looked at the piglets and then carefully inquired about the food that Grandma Hong ate every day.
They were surprised to find that the food fed to the pigs on the farm was probably similar to what they fed at home.
At least the value should be about the same.
The only difference might be that concentrated feed may need some corn kernels and soybeans.
Their family simply cut pig feed, cooked it, and that was it.
"But looking at these piglets, they'll probably get a pound of meat a day after coming here, right?"
“I think so too. Although piglets naturally grow slower, our own piglets can gain half a pound a day, which is excellent.”
These black-skinned pigs weigh around 150 to 160 pounds at most.
They are raised for about ten months a year before being ready for market.
It grows slowly in the early stages, not this fast.
A group of aunties were surprised to discover this, and they were all astonished: "Secretary Gu, at this rate, wouldn't the pigs in our pig farm be ready for market in about six months?"
In the later stages of growing and finishing pigs, they eat more feed and grow faster than piglets.
Of course, the proportion of food consumed and the weight gained will decrease somewhat.
During the piglet stage, if a piglet eats about six pounds of feed, it will grow about one pound.
But when they reach the adult stage, they need more than four pounds of feed to gain only one pound of meat.
At this rate, the number of pigs to be slaughtered would only be around 150 jin (approximately 75 kg).
Doesn't that mean they can be ready for market in six months?
Gu Yunyang nodded: "They'll be ready to slaughter in about six months. But this feed is all carefully formulated by myself; it wouldn't be as good if someone else did it."
If left in someone else's home, it might take about eight months, and the weight would likely be between 120 and 160 kilograms.
It depends on how well each person takes care of the animals and the amount of feed provided.
An auntie asked enviously, "Can we know how this feed is made?"
She wondered if her own animal feed would grow faster if prepared in the same way.
Each family can only raise two pigs: one for their own annual breeding and one for other tasks.
This is also the family's most profitable source of income.
If the time to market can be shortened, it indirectly increases the ways a family can make money.
Everyone understands.
Gu Yunyang didn't hide anything and gave a brief explanation.
One of the women asked, "Then, will there be any problem with this growing flesh?"
She was also worried that the pigs would have problems if they ate this feed.
Just because it hasn't been released yet doesn't mean there won't be problems later.
Gu Yunyang was aware of their concerns, but if you want benefits, you have to take on the corresponding risks.
Is there any thing in this world that has no risks and only benefits?
Gu Yunyang spread his hands: "That's what the book says. Besides, I gave them things that pigs can normally eat; it's just a matter of proportion. And that proportion is hard to get right."
The aunts didn't receive any assurances from Gu Yunyang, so they weren't entirely at ease.
Gu Yunyang took the opportunity to leave.
The women stayed to look at the piglets a little longer before leaving.
On the way back, they chattered on and on.
But after returning home, the aunties all tacitly decided not to use Gu Yunyang's recipe.
"Let's see. Once these pigs are ready for market and there are no problems, then I'll proceed."
One pig accounts for the vast majority of a family's annual income.
They had no choice but to be cautious.
