Chapter 292: Super Cow
It's all about more milk. See. Wool, Chinese net
Whether Jiagu Dairy is expanding its farms or entering overseas, in the final analysis, it is all about the pursuit of sufficient and high-quality raw milk.
However, the iron still needs to be hard, and the source of milk production still falls on the cows.
If China is to become a country of "milk and honey everywhere", high-quality dairy cow breeds are an indispensable resource.
After Qi Zheng's triumphant return to China, good news came from Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, and the next generation of excellent dairy cow breeds selected by the Jiagu system was born!
Jiagu No. 1 Ranch, in the dairy cow breeding farm.
It is not an exaggeration to compare the Jiagu Breeding Farm to a "small United Nations", where there are high-quality dairy cows from all over the world, mainly Holstein cattle of American, Canadian, New Zealand, Australian and other breeds.
After continuous breeding, the Jiagu breeding farm has finally seen results this year.
Qi Zheng, Yang Ye, Li Dongliang and Chen Jianzhang of Jiagu Laboratory, a group of high-level executives gathered in the breeding field to witness the results of breeding for many years.
"To be honest, every time I come here, I think it's the cow's welfare that is better than the people. The corners of Li Dongliang's mouth twitched.
In the spacious and bright milking hall, dozens of cows are quietly waiting to be milked. The world's most advanced rotary milking machine is used here, and the cows walk leisurely onto the milking machine.
It's not the key, it's the light music that is played live.
Music has been used for a long time, or uplifting, or quiet, or flowing long, or enthusiastic like fire. But "playing the piano to the cow"? Ordinary people will still feel a little weird when they see it.
Everyone laughed.
Yang Ye smiled, "Now I don't want to say anything strange about the cow playing the piano, otherwise the cow should be angry, they are very musical." ”
This is no joke.
Jiagu laboratory has researched that listening to harmonious music to dairy cows can enhance the excitement of the cow's cerebral cortex, so that the milk removal response is strengthened, thereby increasing milk production. Cows that live a musical life produce at least 10 more milk than cows that don't10.
In the teases of several people, the sprinkler head above the outlet of the milking machine sprays water every 10 seconds, amicably prompting the milked cows to go. The cow has formed a habit of consciously retreating as soon as it feels the water gently squirting out.
"In the past, at Yili, I saw the staff give a stick to the cows when they didn't go to the milking hall, and a stick when they didn't go to the milking parlor. But at Jiagu Ranch, we don't allow the cows to feel a little sad and afraid!" Yang Ye sighed.
Chen Jianzhang said, "But the effect is obvious, isn't it? I can't imagine that creating a comfortable life not only increases milk production, but also promotes the breeding of dairy cows." ”
"High-quality milk comes from comfortable cows!", the concept of dairy development in the United States, was introduced by Xia Guoliang, an expert in animal husbandry and breeding hired by Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, who not only achieved excellent results in dairy farming, but also strengthened the breeding of improved breeds.
After milking, the cows walk freely back to the barn without urging, let alone scolding.
When the group followed them back to the barn, Xia Guoliang was inspecting the staff cleaning the barn - when feeding the cows and cleaning the barn, they chose to milk the cows, so as not to disturb the normal life of the cows. Xia Guoliang said with a smile that this is equivalent to invisibly hanging a "Do Not Disturb" sign in the cowshed.
In the breeding farm, comfortable indoor beds have been built for the cows. Bed rest is a sand bed, which not only makes the cows more comfortable, but also prevents the occurrence of some diseases.
Every day, the staff of the breeding farm turns the cows' beds over and turns them into soft and fluffy ones. Xia Guoliang also often checks whether the cows' beds and activity spaces are comfortable.
After entering the cowshed, they saw Xia Guoliang kneeling on the bed, feeling the softness and moisture content of the sand to ensure a comfortable sleeping environment for the cows.
"Lao Xia, why are you here in person?" Chen Jianzhang shouted.
Xia Guoliang looked up and saw Qi Zheng and his party, stood up unhurriedly, patted his knees, and explained as he walked over, "If you don't kneel in person, it's hard to feel whether it's soft or not, and whether the cow is comfortable." ”
Everyone knew his stubbornness and shook his head helplessly.
"We've come to see your babies. Qi Zheng teased.
Speaking of the cows he had selected, Xia Guoliang suddenly smiled.
Turning his head to look at the cows who returned to the barn, he was not in a hurry to lie on their soft "Simmons", but enjoyed the food with relish. Let's go away and don't interfere with their eating. ”
Feeling Xia Guoliang's gentle gaze looking at the cow, Rao is everyone knows who he is, and they can't help crying and laughing, and they can only walk away.
Chen Jianzhang couldn't help but roll his eyes, "Okay, okay, who doesn't know the comfortable life you give to the cows?"
"After several years of breeding, we crossed different breeds of Holstein cows, and continued to select the best of the best among the hybrid offspring, and bred the first generation of 'Gargok Holstein cows'. Xia Guoliang gushed endlessly, "The biggest feature of the first generation of Jiagu Holstein cows is that they can efficiently exert high yielding performance. ”
"The current data is that the average annual milk yield has reached 11 tons, and the highest annual milk yield is as high as 15 tons, which has definitely reached the international first-class level!"
"Not only is it high-yielding, but the milk produced by the first generation of Jiagu cows is thicker and more mellow, with thick milk quality, and the content of milk fat and milk protein is significantly higher than that of ordinary dairy cows. ”
Everyone was surprised and delighted when they heard this.
"Good guy, the average annual milk yield of domestic dairy cows is about 5 tons, right?" Li Dongliang muttered to himself.
Chen Jianzhang affirmed, "The annual yield of dairy cows in China is about 48 tons, and the yield level of international high-quality dairy cows is about 10 tons, which has undoubtedly reached the world-class level." ”
That is, one Jiagu Holstein cow is at least equivalent to two domestic Holstein cows, what does this mean?
Even the dairy cows currently farmed on a large scale in Jiagu Ranch have an annual yield of only about 8~9 tons. If all the cows are replaced by the first generation of Jiagu cows, even if the same number of cows are in the herd, the milk production will increase directly and steadily30.
"Good job!" Qi Zheng praised.
Xia Guoliang did not have the slightest pride: "In fact, our cultivation time is still short, and we can have such results, mainly because of the welfare of dairy cows!"
"Freedom from hunger and thirst, let the cows eat and drink well, live comfortably, live comfortably for the cows, express their nature, the cows live carefree, have no sadness and fear, do not beat the cows or scold the cows, avoid pain and disease, and prevent and treat the cows in a timely manner......"
Here it is again, and everyone is holding their foreheads.
Xia Guoliang is a loyal fan of welfare farming, and he firmly believes that the welfare farming of dairy cows will gradually be accepted by more and more people in the modern dairy industry, and he will often sell this concept to everyone.
Everyone is helpless, but seeing his results, I have to admit that it seems to be really useful.
The herd of dairy cows in the large ranch is good to say, after all, there are many of them, and some welfare measures have not yet been popularized, but Xia Guoliang has implemented the welfare of the cows in the breeding farm to the point of madness.
Simmons-level beds, spacious grass for leisurely walks, specially designed ticklers, scientifically tailored set menus, and even professional pedicures, as well as hoof bathing twice a week – so much so that Li Dongliang often says that the cows in the breeding farm walk a little bit like they walk the catwalk......
What everyone doesn't know is that in order to create the most comfortable environment, Qi Zheng also took great pains.
"Three-star Gathering Spirit Array" makes fitness quenching the body; "Green Bamboo Hundred Soul Array" makes rapid growth and excellent education; "Blue Wave Qinghua Array" makes drinking water pure; "Tiangang Wuji Array" makes the breeze blow, and "Nine Shadows Ecstasy Array" magnifies joy......
A small breeding field, most of the spirit arrays of the Qi Political Society have been applied. If everyone learns, they must not cry and shout, "Truth is not as good as a cow."
Otherwise, other people's families often have more than ten years or even decades of selection and breeding to be effective, why does Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry have such outstanding achievements in just a few years?
Looking at the smooth coat and full of spirit of the Jiagu cows in the field, Qi Zheng was proud, "This is the first generation of our Jiagu super cows, but it is definitely not the end. With limited land and other natural resources in the country, such super cows are undoubtedly more able to meet the needs of the people. ”
"Isn't there a goal for the new ranch? That will be our first grassland pasture in Jiagu, so let the first generation of Jiagu cows enter and show the power of super cows!"
