Zhou Ziwen would certainly not refuse Researcher Chen's request.
He even wants people to work for free!
If you want people to work willingly, you have to offer something.
Seeing that he was very interested in biological feed, Zhou Ziwen began to explain it to him.
"Researcher Chen, biofeed mainly utilizes microbial fermentation technology. First, we collect crop straw like corn stalks, soybean stalks, rice straw, and wheat straw, dry them, and grind them into fine bran. Then, we add a bio-fermentation agent in a certain proportion, mix well, and ferment."
Researcher Chen nodded as he listened, his eyes gleaming with excitement. "This is a really clever idea! But can piglets digest feed made with these things?"
Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded, continuing to explain, "Don't worry about that. Although these crop straws cannot be eaten directly by humans, the cellulose and hemicellulose they contain can be converted into sugars and other nutrients that are more easily digested and absorbed by pigs through microbial fermentation."
"Moreover, some beneficial bacteria produced during the fermentation process can help improve the intestinal health of pigs and increase the digestibility and absorption rate of feed."
Researcher Chen listened more attentively and asked, "How is this bio-fermenter made? What raw materials are needed?"
Zhou Ziwen patiently replied, "The preparation of bio-fermentation agents is relatively simple. They are mainly composed of some beneficial microorganisms and their nutrient matrix."
"We can choose suitable microorganisms based on local resource conditions. For example, we can use some common yeasts and lactic acid bacteria. These microorganisms can multiply in large numbers under suitable conditions, producing rich enzyme systems to promote the decomposition of cellulose in straw."
"As for the nutrient matrix, we can use some inexpensive and easily available raw materials, such as bran and rice bran. These raw materials can not only provide the required nutrients for microorganisms, but also increase the volume of the starter and reduce production costs." Zhou Ziwen added.
Researcher Chen was very satisfied with Zhou Ziwen's explanation. He said excitedly, "This method is really creative. It not only effectively utilizes agricultural waste, but also reduces breeding costs and improves breeding efficiency. Team leader Zhou, you are amazing."
At this moment, his admiration for Zhou Ziwen was like the endless torrent of a river.
He felt that Zhou Zhiqing's knowledge was far superior to his.
This discovery surprised him.
As far as he knew, Zhou Ziwen was just an educated youth who went to the countryside, but this educated youth was more knowledgeable than him as a researcher, which was a bit incredible.
"Team Leader Zhou, your method is so valuable. I must study it carefully when I go back to see if I can promote this method in our college's breeding farms." Researcher Chen said excitedly.
As a researcher at the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, he immediately saw the value of biological feed.
Zhou Ziwen waved his hand modestly and said, "Researcher Chen, you're too kind. If this idea can be promoted in the college, it will also contribute to agricultural development."
The discussion continued around the biological feed. Wu Dagang said with a smile, "If this biological feed can be promoted, it will truly benefit many farmers."
The team leader nodded in agreement: "Yes, the cost of raising pigs in our village has been reduced thanks to the method that Ziwen came up with."
"Haha, this method is not something I came up with. I learned it from a book."
Zhou Ziwen smiled and shook his head.
The concept of biological feed began to take shape and develop gradually in the middle of the twentieth century.
But in 1975, that year, the relevant technologies and applications were not popularized.
But in this era, some basic knowledge and technology of microbial fermentation already exist.
So Zhou Ziwen’s ability to come up with biological feed technology, while surprising, is not surprising.
The topic changed and everyone began to discuss the details of breeding Landrace pigs.
Researcher Chen introduced in detail some aspects that require special attention in the breeding process of Landrace pigs.
As we chatted, it gradually got darker.
Although everyone was still a little reluctant to leave, they thought about having to go to work tomorrow, and that Researcher Chen had just arrived in Dabazi Village and needed some adaptation time, so everyone stood up and prepared to go home and rest.
Wu Dagang said to Researcher Chen, "Researcher Chen, you are tired today. Go back and rest early."
Researcher Chen said gratefully, "Thank you, Secretary Wu. I'm sorry to bother you."
Zhou Ziwen also said, "Researcher Chen, if you have any questions, please feel free to contact us at any time. Don't hesitate."
Researcher Chen nodded, said goodbye to everyone, and walked towards the east side of the village.
When Zhou Ziwen returned home, the two sisters and Yueyue were already asleep.
He walked into the room quietly, looking at their sleeping faces, his heart filled with tenderness.
After washing up quickly, he returned to the bedroom, lay down on the kang and began to rest.
Nothing happened that night. Early the next morning, Zhou Ziwen opened the auto-play panel and took a look.
[Beast Taming LV4] (8/4000)
【Construction Level 1】(25/1000)
In the panel, the animal taming skill has reached level four.
The fourth level of animal taming gave him a deeper understanding of animal habits.
It is not only helpful for breeding Landrace pigs, but also can achieve a good domestication effect on other animals.
Like the wild goat in the backyard, he can tame it further.
After this period of domestication, although the wild goat has been initially domesticated, its wildness has not been completely eliminated and it still shows some resistance behavior from time to time.
Zhou Ziwen decided to use his newly improved animal taming skills to further tame it.
There is also construction skill. After this period of idle time, the construction skill has reached the entry level.
Although I have just reached the entry level, I am already capable of building a biogas digester.
In fact, a biogas digester is not very difficult, you just need to know the construction process.
The most important thing is the material.
But they now have the support of the commune, so materials are not a problem.
In addition to animal taming and construction, planting skills are also about to be upgraded.
And Baguazhang is almost at the maximum level.
As there are more and more AFK slots, his AFK skills also increase, and his skills are upgraded from time to time.
Whenever his skills are upgraded, that is when Zhou Ziwen is happiest.
After sorting out the harvest, Zhou Ziwen went to the yard to stretch his body as usual, and then went back to the house to wash up.
After washing up, he walked into the kitchen and saw Chen Shiying already preparing breakfast.
"Ziwen, do you have any plans for today?" Chen Shiying asked while busy.
"Let's go to the pig farm first! The piglets have arrived, so we need to pay more attention to their growth during this period."
Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile.
Chen Shiying nodded. She knew what these Landrace pigs meant to the village and understood why Zhou Ziwen cared so much about them.
"Then go ahead. The pig farm is more important. I'll be at the mushroom cultivation base."
Chen Shiying said gently, she always silently supported Zhou Ziwen like this. (End of this chapter)
