The county is very active in the idea of bringing back the cousin Chen Yuan, although it has not yet received specific approval, but it is certain that this idea of building the road with a toll road mortgage is very interesting.

Qi Zheng also put his mind at ease. At this time, the manufacturers who built the pig farm were also invited to come and make the overall plan for the pig farm in Jiagu.

The overall planning of the pig farm plays a very key role in the construction of the pig farm, especially for the later management and operation.

In the early stages of planning and designing a new large-scale pig farm, all aspects of the construction plan need to be considered.

This is not like the chicken and duck farm built in the village, gathering a group of villagers to pick up the guys and do it.

Modern large-scale pig farms, with huge investment in the early stage, must be planned and designed by professional construction manufacturers.

The manufacturer led the team to Zhou Yanliang, who followed Qi Zheng and Zhao Shugen, the township secretary, to inspect the pig farm site planned in Guanting Township.

Zhou Yanliang pointed to the area in front of him and said: "Whether the pig farm site is selected properly is not only related to the health and epidemic prevention of the pig farm, the growth of pigs and the work efficiency of the breeding staff, but also related to the success or failure of pig breeding and the protection of the surrounding environment." ”

"The terrain here is neat and open, which is conducive to making full use of the site and rationally arranging the buildings, and reducing the workload of cleaning the site before construction. ”

"Due to the epidemic prevention needs of pig farms and the pollution of the surrounding environment, large-scale pig farms should be built far away from urban areas, residential areas, and traffic arteries. There is a forest belt as a barrier, and the surrounding area is sparsely populated, which is no problem. Coupled with your supporting organic fertilizer manufacturing plant, pig manure can be fully absorbed. ”

"The traffic conditions are a little worse. Whether it's getting in and out of feed, or transporting commercial pigs and fertilizers, inadequate transportation can cause great difficulties in production. However, as long as you are willing to invest, it is not difficult to improve. ”

"Then there's the water and the power supply. Large-scale pig farms must have a reliable water source of good quality, quantity and pollution, generally a 50,000-head pig farm consumes about 1,000 tons of water per day. And there are complete sets of mechanical and electrical equipment, including water supply, insulation, ventilation, feed processing, cleaning, disinfection, washing and other equipment, plus the electricity of workers, if the local power grid can not be stable power supply, large pig farms should provide their own corresponding generator sets. ”

"In this way, the water source here depends on groundwater, and the groundwater resources are abundant, so there is no problem. And what about the power supply, oh, the government guarantees the power supply, yes, that's fine, but it's better to bring your own set of small generator sets, just in case. ”

"Well, in the end, the area is big enough, and it is not difficult to expand. ”

Zhou Yanliang wrote and drew in the notebook from time to time, and consulted Qi Zheng for relevant information, and finally synthesized it, and had a general plan for the pig farm.

"Mr. Qi, according to your requirements, it is to build a modern pig farm with 50,000 heads. It is required to achieve assembly line production from breeding, pregnancy, childbirth, lactation to breeding, fattening and sales, and strict requirements in terms of sewage discharge and environmental protection, combined with the implementation of the goal of 'zero emission' in organic fertilizer manufacturing plants. Right!"

Qi Zheng nodded.

Zhou Yanliang continued: "This is no problem, our company has rich design experience. But Mr. Qi, I must remind you that such a high-standard pig farm has a lot of investment. ”

Qi Zheng said categorically: "Investment is not a problem, my requirement is that the pig farm will not lag behind for at least ten years, and there is a corresponding redundancy for improvement." By the way, how far can your 50,000-head pig farm be automated, and how many workers do you need?"

Zhou Yanliang was stunned for a moment, thought for a while and replied: "If it is a pig farm alone, it will need about forty employees. ”

Then he saw Qi Zheng pouting, and couldn't help explaining: "This is already the advanced level in China, and you can't find a manufacturer that is stronger than us in China." ”

Qi Zheng estimated the level of the country and knew that he was not lying, although there was a significant gap compared with foreign countries, but he could only choose to improve slowly.

"Okay, another point, our pig farm will be based on forage pigs, and you have to design the feed processing and adding equipment. Qi Zheng added.

Zhou Yanliang was surprised again, it was the first time he encountered a large pig farm raising pigs with pasture.

Seeing this, Qi Zheng explained: "The soil here is very suitable for pasture planting, and through the combination of planting and breeding, it can also drive the surrounding area to become rich." ”

Zhou Yanliang was stunned.

Theoretically, pigs are fed green feed all year round, and they can receive the effect of "supplementing essence with green, reducing costs and increasing efficiency".

From the perspective of income, planting grass and raising pigs can also save more concentrate feed and reduce production costs even more.

In fact, few people use forage to raise pigs, but because of the relative shortage of domestic forage resources, it is mainly used to raise cattle or sheep.

If there are such good resource conditions around, it is a good way.

Zhou Yanliang thought for a moment and replied affirmatively: "No problem, the corresponding equipment only needs to make some changes to apply." This can be assured. ”

Qi Zheng bowed his head, thought about it, and made some more requests to him: "I have some small personalized requirements here, you can see how to design ......"

......

Large-scale pig farming has always been a technical job.

Large-scale pig farming is not simply feeding, growing meat, and sending it to slaughter - sows and fat pigs are raised in completely different ways, pigs are fed differently at each stage of growth, when sows are suitable for breeding, how to quickly and accurately find the sick one in a herd of pigs to avoid large-scale infection, and what diseases are susceptible to infection in different seasons...... All of these require the interdisciplinary integration of biology, veterinary medicine, nutrition, and management.

The initial investment in pig breeding is large, but the subsequent income is not stable.

This is where the famous "pig cycle" comes from.

To put it simply, it is a cycle of "high meat prices, farmers flocking to the market, sows increasing in the herd, increasing the supply of live pigs, falling meat prices, farmers leaving the market, a large number of sows being eliminated, a decrease in the supply of live pigs, and rising meat prices".

If you encounter a "once-in-a-millennium" disaster such as African swine fever, then the fun will be great.

The epidemic in later generations came suddenly, broke out quickly, and swept across the country, and all pig farm owners were helpless but to adopt the means of isolation and closure.

The underwear of the farm employees even has to be purchased in a unified manner, and all the daily life is carried out in the pig farm, "The employees can't even bring money in, because the paper money may carry the swine fever virus." ”

In the era of rising pork prices, it is really necessary to pay in installments even to buy pork - if you want to prove that you are rich, you don't need to hang any gold chains, hang a pork belly around your neck, you are more rich than anyone else.

Many people conclude that the basic law of the pig industry is that one year earns, one year flat, and one year loses. So the money for the second two years must be earned back in the first year.

The "second senior brothers" are so delicate and expensive, and the farmers can't afford to be careless.

Even so, the difficulties faced are real.

Most of the pig farms are in remote rural or suburban areas, and some of the pig farms have been fully enclosed, which means that employees need to stay in a closed environment full of odors for a long time, repeat feeding, clean manure, check for diseases, etc.

Thinking about the taste of the ~ soul, it is no wonder that young people would rather go to Foxconn to work than raise pigs.

No one wants to do it, so you have to get on the machine. With the spread of equipment, the number of employees in pig farms has begun to shrink.

The Chinese are the most pork-loving group in the world. Half of the pigs slaughtered in the world go into the stomachs of Chinese every year, but China's pig breeding efficiency is much lower than that of Europe and the United States.

The most efficient country in this regard is Denmark.

And one of the most bizarre pig farms is the Danish Crown Pig Farm: the feed for the pigs can be eaten, the pigs drink mineral water every day, and the pigs are not only given music and baths, but also special laws are set up......

It's simply not as good as the pig series......

But every rule that makes you feel unbelievable is the key to success.

All pig farmers have a degree, not only to learn professional pig breeding knowledge, but also to learn management and philosophy;

A high degree of mechanization and intelligence has allowed most of the heavy manual work to be replaced by machines;

The feed is the best of the best, mixed with wheat, barley and minerals, the taste is sweet and soft, and even people can eat it directly;

Drinking mineral water all your life grows up, without pollution, away from disease;

Every pig is an athlete, tired and dirty from exercise, and there is automatic equipment for bathing to clean the pigs......

If you think about it carefully, in addition to the fate of being killed, being a second brother in the Danish crown is actually quite happy!

But in fact, if you think about it carefully, you will find that the high efficiency of Danish pig farms does not only rely on advanced technology and equipment, but also has a complete set of supporting management methods.

It's never the pigs that are the hardest to manage, it's the people.

So the best thing to do is to reduce the number of people on the pig farm.

With the advent of the wave of technological upgrading of China's pig industry and even the entire breeding industry, many technology giants can't wait to step into the pig industry. Overnight, it felt like everyone was out of business.

Integrate AI technology into pig raising, pig face recognition, and Internet of Things transformation......

After all, many times, it is just to solve an identity problem, using computer vision to collect data and train models, the technology is very complex and the cost is too high.

The direction and logic are right, but whether the cost and cost performance are worth it or not have their own considerations.

Qi Zheng doesn't expect to reach the technical level of future generations now - now his own mobile phones are still Nokia's "smashing walnut machine", and Apple's era is still far away, what more bicycle?

He just hopes that through the cooperation of the spirit array, he can improve the efficiency of pig raising, improve the management level, and then stand tall in the "pig cycle".

At present, he does not understand the industry, he is not in a hurry, take his time, as long as he is willing to continue to cultivate the industry, these problems will be gradually solved.

It can be said that everything has just begun, and Qi Zheng is also moving forward in exploration.
