Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry slaughter million pigs annual slaughter pig breeding base, sows and piglets are mainly from two companies breeding and multiplication and outsourcing.

Among them, the introduction of outsourcing is the majority.

Because the number of breeding and multiplication within the company is not enough, and the time can't wait, it can only be purchased and introduced from the market.

Pig breeding not only burns money, but also time.

Pig farming is an industry with slow technological progress, and the reason for the slowness is that pigs have a long growth cycle, and sows take hundreds of days from pregnancy to production. On the other hand, pigs have unique biological properties.

Even if you improve the feed formula and set up an experimental group and a control group to verify the effect, it will take more than half a year at the earliest, and the technical iteration is naturally very slow.

The investment is large, the return is slow, and the pig enterprises in the initial stage either can't afford to invest, or dare not invest.

For a long time, China's investment in pig breeding is seriously insufficient, and in fact, the funds invested in pig breeding and improvement are much lower than the funds invested in the introduction of seeds.

Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry is already a pig breeding enterprise with huge investment in breeding, but it is only able to meet the company's internal needs, and in the face of the sudden expansion of the scale, the breeding supply is immediately numb.

As for the progress of breeding improvement, it is even more slow.

......

The starting place of Jiagu is Pucheng County.

The first Jiagu pig farm here has been converted into a pig breeding and multiplication base for Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry.

Qi Zheng and Li Dongliang returned here to learn about Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry's background in pig breeding, so as to formulate the introduction scale of the new pig breeding base.

Inside the base, in the breeding room.

Under the bright lights, a sow stood quietly in the middle of the room, and a boar was wandering around next to it - not for mating ~ mating, natural mating ~ mating efficiency is too low.

The boar's role is equivalent to a "hair piece", which is merely to soothe - with it by its side, the sow in heat will react statically and stimulate ovulation.

Next to the sow, a heavily armed technician wearing a thick mask and thick gloves, holding a bag of pigs, squatted on the ground, and carried out artificial insemination for the sow with a serious expression.

Qi Zheng and Li Dongliang watched this rare scene through the glass window.

Do you think that today's male and female sows are still reproduced through natural mating~ mating?

The efficiency of natural mating ~ mating of male and female sows is relatively low, and 1 boar can only be responsible for 25~30 production sows. In contrast, 1 boar in the artificial insemination system can correspond to 300~500 sows.

Of course, only boars from large farms can have this honor.

As the saying goes, there is no such thing as a ploughed field, only a tired cow. But there were no more tired pigs in the future, and the advent of modern technology such as artificial insemination fulfilled the wish of letting the boar lie down with piglets - from then on, the meaning of the boar's life was only death.

Li Dongliang said lightly: "The ratio of males and females exceeding 10 times reduces the cost of the farm and greatly improves the efficiency of the boars. In the world's commercial pig farms, artificial insemination has become mainstream. The proportion of pig artificial insemination is almost always above 75, and in Denmark it is even more than 9095. Looking at the world, there are not many pigs with sex anymore. ”

"In China, the proportion is still relatively low. But in large pig farms or breeding bases, it is also higher than 50. Artificial insemination has huge advantages in terms of cost, efficiency and breed control, especially for large-scale and standardized pig enterprises. ”

Qi Zheng blinked and asked, "Did you use a local boar or did you bring it in from abroad?"

Li Dongliang coughed lightly, "It's a frozen pig shipped in from abroad, no way, the quality of local boars is indeed not as high as the frozen pigs shipped in from abroad." ”

Qi Zheng was heartbroken when he heard this, "Alas, the boars in China are not angry, and even the last line of dignity - the qualification for artificial insemination is about to be lost." This hat is not so simple as being green, it is simply green and glowing. ”

Li Dongliang laughed when he heard this.

Qi Zheng also shook his head and laughed.

In fact, even the introduced pig breeds have all kinds of details that laymen can't imagine in terms of breeding.

For example, Dan pigs.

The so-called "pig technology is strong, the European continent is looking for Denmark." "The SY of Danish pigs (the number of weaned piglets per sow per year), the world's top, pursues the doctrine of take-it-or-leave-it, and has introduced a lot of Danish pigs, but they are always not fed well.

The main reason is the poor level of fine management.

For example, in front of the breeding, the sow likes to turn on the light "about ~ cannon", and it requires a certain light intensity - the stimulation of the boar and the insufficient intensity of the light will lead to unsatisfactory estrus uniformity and unstable estrus.

Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry also suffered a lot of losses, so the two indicators of live birth and annual parity were raised to reach the world's advanced level.

There are other unique doorways and know-how, and it is these seemingly inconspicuous details that often make the difference between life and death for a business.

But in general, after several years of development, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry have mastered more advanced pig breeding technology.

......

After watching the breeding, the two walked out of the breeding room and came to the breeding improvement field.

In the pig barn, black pigs roam freely, which is the standard for local pigs.

This is the Chenghua pig introduced from Sichuan Province by Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry in order to improve the selection and breeding of pig breeds.

Speaking of domestic pigs, it is a bitter and tearful.

Since the 80s of the last century, a dangerous domestic offensive and defensive city war has entered a white-hot degree, and the defending side is the Jinhua pig, the Rongchang pig, the Taihu pig, and the Ningxiang pig The four pearls are the 88 local pig breeds in China, which have adhered to the land of China for thousands of years, and are familiar with the terrain, but the weakness is backward in the tactical system; the besieging side is the foreign pigs headed by the "Du Chang" (the big white pig of Britain, the Landrace pig of Denmark, and the Duroc pig of the United States), with advanced combat technology and strong continuous combat capability.

This great war lasted for more than 20 years, and finally ended with a complete victory for the besieging side, and the domestic native pig breed of the defeated side was either extinct or endangered.

Twenty years ago, local pigs accounted for more than 90 percent of the market, and now less than 10 remain.

Pointing to the Chenghua pig in the pig house, gluttonous Li Dongliang introduced, "Sichuan cuisine has a fresh and mellow taste, and is known for its good use of spicy seasoning. The first pot meat of Sichuan cuisine has conquered the tongue and stomach of countless people, but the current pot meat is basically not worthy of the name. ”

"The standard configuration of the back pot meat is the Chenghua pig born and raised in Sichuan Province in front of me, and the intramuscular fat content of 35 makes the pork show a ghostly marble texture, commonly known as 'snowflake pork'. The higher fat percentage can make the meat reach the peak of deliciousness when it is put into the pot for the second time, and it is the most authentic ingredient for authentic back to the pot. He smacked his lips when he finished speaking.

Qi Zheng was speechless.

Li Dongliang smiled, and then continued, "It's a pity, for pig farmers, whether it is authentic or not is a crooked way, how much feed a pig needs to eat for a kilogram of meat is the key, professionally speaking, it is the ratio of feed to meat." At present, the feed-to-meat ratio of foreign pigs dominating the domestic market is 2~31, and the feed-to-meat ratio of Chenghua pigs is as high as 61. ”

Raising one Chenghua pig is enough to raise two foreign pigs, how do you choose?

The good taste and high nutrition of local pigs lost to foreign pigs only half of the slaughter time, in the efficiency of the king of the market expulsion, local pigs gradually lost the "right to live" and "spouse rights" - foreign pigs in the domestic market across the wilderness, local pigs are a hat green panic.

Foreign breeding pigs, foreign pigs, in the domestic anti-customer, foreign pig breeding farms all over the country.

Li Dongliang finally concluded: "We at Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry are actively protecting the local pig breed resources and using them to breed excellent breeds, but this process is not destined to be fast. In the current critical period of gambling with Goldman Sachs, we must vigorously introduce foreign high-quality breeding pigs. ”

"Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry currently has 50,000 sows and about 20,000 gilts of the Du long breed. This scale needs to be expanded at least twice to meet the company's own breeding needs, and if you want to export it, the scale will naturally be larger. ”

Qi Zheng rubbed his chin thoughtfully.
