Time rushed into 2003. Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net

It's not a good year.

During the Spring Festival of 03, Qi Zheng was absent-minded.

Because there is a ghost called "SARS virus" that is hovering over the province.

Regarding the epidemic that spread across the country not long after, Qi Zheng did not know the specific origin and time, but only knew that it probably broke out from Yue Province. Therefore, even if you are worried, you have nothing to do.

And Jiagu's major projects will not stop because of Qi Zheng's concerns.

In early spring, the weather is getting warmer, ushering in the season of spring flowers.

The first to take action was Jiagu Ranch.

In the past winter, the green manure such as milk vetch planted last year was broken and returned to the field, and the treated saline-alkali land silently recuperated and accumulated strength.

After the beginning of spring, Yang Ye began to lead the ranch staff to plough the land and plant the high-quality alfalfa that Jiagu purchased from the Winter Camp Experimental Station.

The high-quality alfalfa cultivated by the Winter Camp Experimental Station is suitable for planting on mild saline-alkali land, and can be harvested three times a year, and the yield of hay per mu can even reach about one ton if well managed.

Of course, the nearly 200,000 acres of land will not be used for pasture.

Tens of thousands of acres of land with relatively good geological conditions, like the cultivated land in the two nearby villages, are used to grow corn as a concentrate feed supplement for pastures.

As the largest single dairy farm in China, the main construction has been fully completed - rows of spacious cow feeding sheds, the largest milking parlour in China, and an integrated milk processing plant with an annual output of more than 200,000 tons.

It can be said that everything is ready now, only the cows are missing.

Due to the growth period and experience of the pasture, the introduction of dairy cows will be carried out in stages, with 10,000 Holstein cows in the first phase and 30,000 heads in the future.

Holstein cows, also known as black and white cows, are the most famous breed of dairy cows in the world. China has also used the introduction of various types of foreign Holstein cattle and local cattle crossbreeding, and after a long period of breeding, the formation of the "Chinese black and white cattle" breed, which is also the only dairy cow breed in China.

It is a pity that there are many dairy cow breeding bases in China, but the scale is generally too small, and the breeding centers with thousands of heads are ranked high, which cannot meet the needs of Jiagu Ranch at all.

To build a pasture, you have to have cattle. However, the shortage of domestic dairy cows has long plagued the development of the dairy industry.

In this case, Jiagu Ranch can only choose to import cows from abroad.

Good milk comes from good cows.

In order to ensure the purchase of high-quality cattle breeds, Yang Ye personally traveled to Australia and New Zealand with several assistants to select the best dairy cows.

Picking out 10,000 high-quality cows from hundreds of thousands of cows is no easy task. Rao is Yang Ye is experienced, and he is also very tired.

But after choosing a cow, it is the first step, not that it can be imported casually.

The import of dairy cows is a systematic project, and there are many complicated procedures and interlocking links.

First of all, after the end of the quarantine abroad, there must be a special person to supervise the loading of cows on the ship, from the source to ensure that the good cows are selected, and the ones on the ship are the selected cattle - don't believe in the foreigner's temperament at any time, if you dare to relax, he will dare to let loose.

When the cows arrive in the country, you think it's all over?

Not really.

When cows arrive in China, they are subject to a 45-day statutory port quarantine – a 15-day or so journey from Australia and New Zealand to China, which is a significant drain on the cows' physical energy.

The quarantine period is the time when the cows are recovering and an important period of "terroir domestication" – the cows used to eat grass, but in China they have to eat not only grass but also feed, and they are now kept together in captivity.

Life changes so much, if you don't serve these "coquettish" well, they are not just as simple as giving you a look.

If the imported cattle are not raised during the quarantine period, even if the situation will improve in the hands of the user, it may never return to normal conditions.

To put it simply, the most immediate effect is that milk production is drastically reduced.

Isn't it to import high-quality cows to increase milk production?

Yang Ye directly sent a team composed of senior pastors and senior veterinarians to be responsible for the "terroir domestication" process of dairy cows in the isolation field, so that the cows can recover their physical fitness and healthy development during the isolation period, and lay a solid foundation for the cows to better play their production performance.

In the end, a fleet of hundreds of large trailers smoothly transported 10,000 cows to the Jiagu Ranch.

It took the entire ranch to move around and it took a whole day to settle the cows into the barn.

......

The scale of 10,000 dairy cows in Jiagu Ranch has once again attracted the attention of the dairy industry after last year's introduction of industry rules.

Mainly in this era, non-large-scale animal husbandry is the basic production mode of the domestic dairy industry.

The most common scenario is that cows are wagging their tails in the pasture, leisurely munching on grass and producing fresh milk.

The main body that sustains this mode of production is the more than 2 million dairy farmers scattered throughout the country, especially in pastoral areas. They use their hard work to be the milk source of milk processing enterprises.

Strictly speaking, there is no large-scale intensive dairy farming base in China in the real sense - even the Yili Ranch where Yang Ye worked before is only three or four thousand heads, and it is still a natural grassland grazing.

Due to the high risk of intensive large-scale farming of dairy cows, the risk of losing all their money in the event of a disease may occur. At that time, foreign countries have very perfect breeding experience, but there are not many successful cases in China.

In a sense, Yang Ye is also groping forward.

The original time and space is established in 05 years of modern animal husbandry to establish the first super-large-scale "10,000 head pasture" in China, creating the era of intensive breeding of domestic dairy cows, but also created a "planting and breeding integration" breeding model, from the source of production to ensure the high quality and safety of milk source.

Now it is Jiagu who dares to be the first in the world and has advanced this process by more than two years.

At present, the domestic dairy industry is playing the model of "heavy sales and light milk source". A large-scale ranch like Jiagu is not mainstream.

Therefore, there are those who watch good shows, those who question them, and those who mock them...... There are very few who are really optimistic about Jiagu Ranch.

Qi Zhengcai ignored the disturbing voices of the outside world, and after the cows entered, he first arranged a "three-star spirit gathering array" to ensure that the cows would not have large-scale epidemics.

As long as there is no epidemic, everything else can be explored slowly.

As for the doubts and ridicule of the dairy industry, Qi Zheng didn't take it to heart at all.

Because the future will prove that the scale of the ranch is unstoppable.

Now these people who watch the excitement will be taught by the market to be people in the future.
