After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying went to the production team to gather together.
Technician Chen was the protagonist in today's morning meeting.
Wu Dagang and the team leader pulled technician Chen to the stage and introduced them to everyone with an iron loudspeaker.
"Let me introduce to you all. This is Technician Chen from the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College. He will provide professional technical guidance to our village's pig farm in the coming days. Welcome everyone!" Wu Dagang said, and was the first to applaud.
The members in the audience also applauded.
"Now, please invite Technician Chen to give a speech."
As he said that, Wu Dagang handed over the iron loudspeaker.
Technician Chen took the iron speaker with embarrassment. "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Guowei. I'm very happy to come to Dabazi Village and work hard with everyone in the pig farming industry."
"I will do my best to share the breeding knowledge and techniques I know with everyone, and I hope we can raise Landrace pigs well together."
Chen Guowei's speech was brief and sincere, winning even warmer applause from the members below the stage.
Wu Dagang took the iron speaker again and continued, "Everyone, Technician Chen is an honored guest in our village. His professional knowledge and experience are invaluable to us. I hope that everyone will actively cooperate with Technician Chen in the coming days, study breeding techniques seriously, and make our pig farm better and better."
…
The members have a good impression of Technician Chen. They all know that he is an expert sent by the Agricultural and Animal Husbandry College specifically to guide them in pig farming.
The team leader also came to the stage and delivered a brief speech. He emphasized the importance of this cooperation and encouraged everyone to cherish this rare learning opportunity.
After the morning meeting, Zhou Ziwen went to the mushroom cultivation base for a while.
Seeing that nothing was happening here, he came to the pig farm.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the pig farm, Chen Guowei had already started his inspection of the pig house.
He carefully observed each piglet's movements and eating habits, recording the data in his notebook from time to time. Zhou Ziwen was quite satisfied when he saw Chen Guowei's concentration.
As expected of a researcher at the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, he is professional in his work.
"Technician Chen, do you see any problems with our pig house?" Zhou Ziwen walked forward and asked politely.
Chen Guowei raised his head and replied with a smile, "Team Leader Zhou, the overall condition of your pig house is quite good. I can see that you put a lot of effort into its construction."
"Yes, we have invested a lot of energy in building this pig farm." Zhou Ziwen sighed.
"Please rest assured, Team Leader Zhou. Landrace pigs are an excellent breed. As long as they can be successfully bred, I believe they will bring considerable economic benefits to Dabazi Village."
Technician Chen said confidently.
Obviously, he is very confident in Landrace pigs.
"Well, I also think raising Landrace pigs is a good choice."
Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.
After chatting with Researcher Chen for a while, our relationship became much more familiar, and we even changed the way we addressed each other.
"By the way, Ziwen, I have seen the biological feed you made, but I don't know how to use it. Can you teach me?" Chen Guowei asked somewhat embarrassedly.
"Of course." Zhou Ziwen nodded. "Guowei, actually the amount of biological feed used is about the same as ordinary feed, the difference is not that big."
"Is there anything special that we need to pay attention to when using it?" Chen Guowei asked.
"First, biological feed must be ensured to be fresh. Once opened, it must be used as soon as possible to avoid prolonged exposure to the air. This will maintain the activity of microorganisms. Secondly, it is best to mix it with a certain proportion of conventional feed, so that pigs can adapt better." Zhou Ziwen explained.
"So that's how it is." Chen Guowei suddenly realized, "Then can we use it now?"
Zhou Ziwen nodded. "Sure, we can start with a small-scale trial to observe the pigs' acceptance and growth response to the bio-feed, and then gradually expand its use based on the situation."
Chen Guowei strongly agreed with this proposal. As a researcher, he is also quite rigorous in his work.
He was really worried that something might go wrong if it was used in large quantities at the beginning.
But if you take it step by step, there will be no problem.
Even if there are any problems, they can be discovered and adjusted in time.
Then, the two began small-batch experiments.
After feeding the piglets, Zhou Ziwen found Li Lei and discussed the biogas tank with him.
Now that his construction skills were up to snuff, it was time to build a biogas digester.
This matter should be dealt with as soon as possible. We should take advantage of the support from the commune and try to get the biogas tank ready as soon as possible.
If it is too late, it will be difficult to get the materials for building a biogas digester.
The reason why Zhou Ziwen wanted to build a biogas digester was based on the idea of waste utilization.
Biogas can not only be used as fuel gas, but also can be used to generate electricity, which can be said to have many benefits.
For example, although Dabazi Village has electricity now, because electricity is relatively expensive, everyone is still accustomed to using kerosene lamps.
Even in Zhou Ziwen's house, the lights are rarely on.
To the villagers, electric lights are a benefit but not a practical benefit.
It is usually closed except when guests come to the house.
But if the biogas digester is built, people won’t have to pay for electricity in the future.
Of course, the pig farm is just starting out, so there isn’t that much pig manure yet.
Fifty piglets are of no use at all.
If we really want everyone in the village to have access to electricity, the pig farm must be developed.
Generally speaking, a ten-cubic-meter biogas digester can meet the needs of a family for lighting, cooking, boiling water, etc.
If we only use electric lights, ten cubic meters can feed several households.
In addition to biogas, the biogas digester also produces biogas liquid and biogas residue.
Sludge and biogas residue can be used to fertilize crops with very good results.
The biogas tank does not require much technical content. Zhou Ziwen talked to Li Lei about it, and he arranged some people to come and let Zhou Ziwen give orders at will.
With Zhou Ziwen's guidance, it is easy to build a biogas tank.
After all, he had planned the biogas digester when he built the pig farm.
He was busy until noon and was about to get off work, so Zhou Ziwen went home early.
At this moment, Chen Qiaoyi was holding little Yueyue and playing with Tayun and Xiaobudian in the yard.
The animals at home are all very nice to Yueyue.
As long as Yueyue is awake, these guys will come over to protect her safety and also want to play with her.
"Brother Ziwen, you're back!" Chen Qiaoyi greeted Zhou Ziwen with a smile when she saw him. "Why are you here so early today?"
Zhou Ziwen kissed Yueyue's forehead and replied, "I came back early because I thought there was nothing else to do. Let's cook first! Shiying will be back soon."
"Brother Ziwen, you must be tired! How about you take care of the kids while I cook?"
Chen Qiaoyi took the initiative to speak.
Zhou Ziwen felt a surge of warmth in his heart when he heard Chen Qiaoyi's words. He knew that Chen Qiaoyi was worried about him and didn't want him to be too tired.
"That's fine. Thank you for your hard work today, my wife." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile, holding little Yueyue in his arms, letting her sit in his arms and rocking her gently. (End of this chapter)
