1204 Modern Farming Is a Technical Activity
Mr. Wan had never done farming before, so he didn't know much about this industry.
But after doing it myself, I found out that farming is not what I imagined, it belongs to the stupid and unsophisticated agricultural industry with no technical content.
In fact, it was only after I started farming that I discovered that modern agriculture is a very high-tech industry.
And as long as the technology is right and the scale is large enough, this is definitely a lucrative industry.
Don’t you see that the ancestors of the H people have long said that food, clothing, housing and transportation are the four basic needs of people, and food is always the first.
And because of the failure of the first venture capital investment, and then the second successful turnaround experience.
Mr. Wan also cherishes his feathers even more. For example, this time when he is engaged in farming, he will lose some money if he fails.
As far as he is concerned, he can afford to lose this little money.
But he couldn't bear the blow to his reputation after the failure.
So ever since he agreed with Xiao Feng to cooperate in building a feed factory, he has conducted careful research on modern agriculture.
First, through my father's relationship, I found many professors in several famous agricultural universities in China.
After carefully understanding and consulting the situation of animal husbandry in modern agriculture, several professors and their students were hired.
A technical advisory group was formed, and then a team of managers was found to conduct very professional research and demonstrations on the entire investment project.
Finally, in Linjiang Province, such an investment was made.
He also made this investment quietly. In the early stage, he used an agent to acquire some breeding enterprises that could not continue to operate, and then integrated them together.
Finally, such a large factory was invested and built near Yushu County in Linjiang.
You must know that Yushu County is one of the top three major grain-producing counties in the country.
Because of the unique geographical environment, it is rich in crops such as corn and soybeans.
The output of crops every year is among the best in the administrative units of the same level in the country.
There used to be many breeding enterprises in this county, but because of the swine fever last year and the pandemic this year, most of them failed to survive.
Even if there are a few companies that are still persisting, most of them are in a state of dying.
And Mr. Wan's intervention relieved these people's urgent needs.
Not only the local government welcomes them to stay, but even those enterprises welcome him to take over their enterprises with both hands and feet.
After Wan Gongzi took over the local breeding enterprises, he integrated the breeding enterprises.
Then let the experts redesign a complete closed-loop breeding program.
Today, Mr. Wan originally wanted to show off his breeding business in front of Xiao Feng.
But after much deliberation, he decided to ask first what ingredients Xiao Feng added to the feed he got.
Because if you don't understand this, then the experts under him won't be at ease.
The experts were worried that his farm would not be easy to operate.
Xiao Feng was taken aback when he heard Mr. Wan's question.
"Feed? Is there really nothing mixed with it?"
"Really not mixed?"
Master Wan continued to ask with a half-smile.
"We raise all white-feathered chickens, but the cycle of this kind of chickens is generally about 38 days."
"But the problem now is that after eating the feed from you, the delivery cycle of this kind of chicken has been shortened to 30 days..."
After Mr. Wan said this, Xiao Feng immediately understood what this guy was worried about.
In fact, there are still many stories about this white feather chicken.
this chicken,
It is the legendary hormone chicken on the market, a chicken with four wings.
Anyway, if this kind of chicken is advertised, it is definitely like a monster.
This kind of chicken is like the status of domestic milk in the hearts of ordinary people in country H.
It is definitely the 'garbage' produced by modern industrialization, and it will never be as delicious as the free-range chickens raised in his mother's field.
But in fact!
If you had learned some real knowledge about white feather chickens, you would not become so angry.
The chicken originated in India, and later the British brought it to their colonies all over the world.
Because this kind of chicken is so easy to raise, it eats less, grows meat faster, and has a very strong anti-virus ability.
Finally, after entering the era of industrialization, this white-feathered chicken was selected by companies such as Aviagen and Keyubao in the United States, and became a breed of industrial broiler.
And with the white-feather chicken as the ancestor, the four main varieties of the current white-feather chicken have been bred.
Ross, Cobb, Hubbard, the Arbors!
The current domestic white-feathered chickens are basically these four breeds of chickens imported from abroad.
Because of the short growth cycle of this kind of broiler chicken, it only takes 38 or 39 days to be ready for slaughter in industrialized farming.
In the case of large-scale free-range breeding, it only takes less than 50 days to be ready for slaughter.
Moreover, the feed conversion ratio of this kind of chicken can reach 1.5 to 1, so it is very popular in the market.
However, the appearance of this kind of chicken has also greatly impacted the business of domestic yellow feather chicken farmers.
After all, yellow feather chickens have not been domesticated industrially, so the feed conversion rate is lower than that of white feather chickens.
For the same 2.3 kg broiler chickens, yellow-feathered chickens will consume about 2 kg more grain than white-feathered chickens.
And the slaughter cycle is not as good as that of white feather chickens.
Therefore, with the help of people with good intentions, there are demonized sayings such as hormone chicken, fast-growing chicken, six-wing chicken, etc., which are crowned on the head of white-feathered chicken.
Later, it was really impossible, and there were many sayings that the nutritional value of free-range chickens is higher than that of white-feathered chickens.
But in fact, just like the eggs of free-range machines, like the eggs of white-feathered chickens, they have been brought out by nutritionists countless times.
In fact, the nutrients are all the same, there is no difference at all.
The difference is just the imagination in everyone's mind.
And if we really want to talk about the taste, in fact, the taste of free-range chicken is not as tender and juicy as that of white feather chicken.
Free-range chickens bounce around in the fields every day, with strong muscles, but such chickens taste very bad.
It often takes a long time to simmer to soften and taste.
And it often clogs your teeth when you eat it.
But this is not the case with white feather chicken. The taste is much better than free-range chicken. The meat is tender and juicy, and it is easy to taste.
In terms of taste, white feather chicken is actually much more delicious than free-range chicken.
It's a pity that many Chinese people don't believe this, just like many people still believe that drinking chicken soup can nourish the body.
But from the perspective of modern nutrition, the yellow layer on the chicken soup is actually fat and purine.
Drinking too much will not only not be good for the body, but will increase the burden on the kidneys to detoxify. Long-term drinking will also cause gout due to high uric acid...
If you don’t believe me, you can check the survey report of regional diseases in my country in recent years.
It can be found that in the high-incidence areas of gout and kidney disease in our country, it is a certain area in our country that likes to drink soup the most and says XXX soup is nourishing every day.
The white feather chickens raised by Wan Gongzi and the others were originally expected to be ready for slaughter in 38 or 9 days.
But after using the feed brought back by Xiao Feng from South America, they found that the chickens were ready for slaughter in only 30 days.
And the feed conversion ratio can reach 1.3 to 1.
This discovery stunned the technical experts he invited.
It is quite amazing to know that the feed conversion ratio of white feather chicken is 1.5 to 1.
But now the white-feathered chickens raised by Mr. Wan actually achieved a ratio of 1.3 to 1.
Moreover, during the breeding process, these white feather chickens do not need to be fed a lot of anti-disease drugs, and their physical fitness can be leveraged.
Clearly there was something 'wrong' with the feed they were eating.
So these breeders turned their attention to other breeds.
Just like the beef cattle they raise, you must know that they only bought some 6-month-old calves at the beginning.
According to the normal breeding cycle, it will take 10-12 months for these beef cattle to be slaughtered.
But after they fed these calves, the feed that Xiao Feng brought back from South America.
They found that the growth rate of these calves was about 1.5 times faster than that of calves fed ordinary feed.
This means that the slaughter cycle of these cattle is likely to be shortened by several months.
This will save a lot of food and greatly improve the feed conversion rate.
However, because the cycle of raising cattle is relatively long, those experts have to track several cycles before they can make a conclusion.
But after they discovered such a miraculous feed, they could still bear it there.
They were all from animal husbandry scientific research background. After experiencing so many things, everyone felt that the feed provided by Xiao Feng was weird.
So I took the feed for analysis, but the feed was all smashed.
Upon inspection, it turned out to be a mixture of corn, soybeans, and some hay, but nothing else.
After chemical analysis, they found that the feed contains a very high content of plant protein, which is the favorite of livestock and poultry.
And unlike ordinary plant protein, this plant protein is still very easy to absorb.
Now everyone understood, so they gathered the questions to Mr. Wan.
I hope that when Master Wan sees the Lord, he can ask for help.
Of course, what everyone wants to know most is whether there are any drugs or hormones mixed in the feed that Xiao Feng got.
Because those livestock and poultry that ate this kind of feed not only grow faster, but also have a greatly improved anti-virus ability than before.
When these farmed poultry and livestock face many diseases that they were afraid of before, they can overcome them without spraying medicine.
This makes those technical experts even more puzzled, what exactly is added to this feed?
So these experts were very worried, whether Xiao Feng had added some serious material to those feeds.
And this kind of fierce food, after being eaten by livestock and poultry, will there be residues, which will harm human health.
And Mr. Wan was also afraid of messing up his own signboard, so he had no choice but to bite the bullet and raise this issue with Xiao Feng.
