Xie Kaiji's suggestion was undoubtedly another way out for Qi Zheng, who was struggling to explain the spirit array.

Qi Zheng was also interested in what he said about using Chinese herbal medicine to prevent and treat livestock diseases, so he took the initiative to contact Liu Bangzu through Xie Kaiji.

Liu Bangzu is a native of Jiangyou Province, and I heard Xie Kaiji say that he has been deeply involved in the field of Chinese herbal medicine for more than ten years, and he thought he was an old man, until he met, and he was unexpectedly young.

He is Chinese New Year's Eve three years old today, but his face is tender, and he is only twenty-five or sixteen years old, and he has the sense of déjà vu of a recent college graduate.

"I majored in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine in college, and under the influence of my mentor, I studied herbal and veterinary medicine at the beginning, and I have been working hard for more than ten years. Liu Bangzu said with a smile.

According to Xie Kaiji, Liu Bangzu worked in Northeast China after graduation, mainly developing the application of Chinese herbal medicine for chicken farms. The chicken farms that use the herbal and veterinary drugs developed by Liu Bangzu have a pass rate of nearly 100 percent for epidemic sampling, and these chicken farms do not use antibiotics and chemicals.

Because of doubts about this data, the local quarantine department in Northeast China has also made many surprise inspections, because the pass rate of these chicken farms is much higher than that of their peers, but the results are the same.

Until after getting married, in order to revive the pig industry in his hometown, Liu Bangzu returned to his hometown to become a "swineherd" and used Chinese herbal medicine for ecological pig raising.

Speaking of his original intentions, Liu Bangzu patted his thigh and said, "In my country, the saying 'pig food is safe in the world' has existed since ancient times. Domestic pigs slaughtered every year account for more than half of the world's total slaughter, and is the world's largest pork consumption market. ”

"But the weight of pork in our country is not heavy. It is an indisputable fact that the aquaculture industry is overly dependent on antibiotics and chemicals in our country. The quality of our pork does not meet the health and pollution-free requirements of Western countries. ”

"Could it be that we can't find a way to let Chinese people eat pork without antibiotics, drug residues, and heavy metals? Look.Mao.Line.Chinese.Text.Net"

The answer he gave was to raise pigs with Chinese herbs.

Liu Bangzu believes that sooner or later China will enter the "antibiotic era", that is, no antibiotics, hormones and other exogenous drugs are used in the whole process of breeding, and ecological breeding is promising.

Liu Bangzu took Qi Zheng to visit his pig farm.

The pig farm is not big, only two or three hundred pigs.

Liu Bangzu said that in order to make the pigs have a good appetite and improve the feed intake of pigs, he added Chinese herbs such as astragalus, licorice, banlan root, houttuynia cordata, and plantain to the feed, and added an appropriate amount of vitamins and trace elements to regulate the health of the pig herd from the inside and effectively enhance the immunity of pigs.

Through comparative tests, pigs fed with Chinese herbal medicine grow fast, have strong disease resistance, do not need to be vaccinated, and are not prone to common pig diseases such as swine fever.

Moreover, the pig's mental state is good, the fur is smooth, the pork taste is good, the meat quality is good, the ecology is environmentally friendly, and the pigs are snapped up by relatives and acquaintances every time they are slaughtered, and the price is twice as high as the market price, and they are not worried about sales. Liu Bangzu said proudly.

Qi Zheng observed carefully and found that this statement was true. The pigs in the pig farm are indeed vigorous, even compared to the pigs in the Jiagu pig farm that have been nourished by the spirit array.

Liu Bangzu patted the pigpen and said, "Chinese herbal medicine is a good thing! As a precious and abundant medical resource in our country, the non-toxic side effects and versiciency of natural Chinese herbal medicine are incomparable to any chemically synthesized drug." Many traditional Chinese medicines contain hundreds of ingredients such as polysaccharides, alkaloids, and volatile oils, which not only have unique immunomodulatory functions, but also have obvious antiviral effects. ”

"The most important thing is that the ingredients of Chinese herbal medicines are easily decomposed in the animal body, without residue, and will not cause pollution to the environment. It has the function of improving animal growth and improving the quality of livestock products, so it can be used as a safe and green additive. ”

Qi Zheng shrugged and said, "But in the real context, there is often a simpler and more direct killer feature for epidemic prevention and control - vaccination and the use of antibiotics. ”

Liu Bangzu spread his hands, "That's right, that's where the problem appears." In my observation, many pigs in domestic pig farms enjoy the treatment of 'medicine jar' from the moment they are born, starting from the feed of piglets, they add preventive drugs to Ri, and when they catch a cold and fever, they don't ask what the reason is, they quickly inject and use the medicine until the slaughter weight, forming a vicious circle. ”

"In fact, the indiscriminate use and abuse of antibiotics have led to serious drug residues, led to an increase in drug resistance, and further led to the emergence of superbugs, which will inevitably seriously affect the survival and health of human beings. ”

"As for vaccines, because the speed of their update is nowhere near as fast as the virus mutates. As a result, there are actually limits to the immunity it produces. For example, this swine fever. ”

Speaking of the swine fever that originated in Jiangyou Province this time, Liu Bangzu's face became a little solemn: "Don't look at the swine fever this time, it seems to have disappeared, but I don't think things are so simple." This is supposed to be a new swine fever that is extremely contagious. Now that everyone doesn't pay attention to it, it will definitely suffer a big loss later. ”

Qi Zheng gave him a thumbs up, worthy of being a professional, and his judgment on this pig disease was to the point.

"How effective is Chinese herbal medicine epidemic prevention in the face of this swine fever epidemic?" Qi Zheng asked.

Liu Bangzu spoke with facts: "I still have some influence near my hometown, and many farmers use Chinese herbal medicine to raise pigs like me. I am also willing to follow my epidemic prevention instructions. ”

After the outbreak of swine fever, Liu Bangzu knew that in such a special period, he must not be sloppy. He led everyone to adopt a fully enclosed feeding for the pig farm, the implementation of a strict multi-disinfection system, alternately using three different disinfectants to disinfect the pig house, timely cleaning of feeding utensils, regular cleaning of the pigsty, to ensure that the pig water source is clean and hygienic, the use of clean mountain spring water......

He smiled and said, "The old folks laughed and said that in the pig pen, everyone can sleep." But as a result, there is basically no swine disease on our side so far. ”

This is truly shocking.

You must know that this side is very close to the center of the swine fever outbreak, and Liu Bangzu is surrounded by small farmers, who should have been the biggest victims of swine fever, but now they have all passed safely. In addition to the well-established anti-epidemic measures, the role of Chinese herbal medicines should not be underestimated.

Qi Zheng asked, "It's not easy to promote Chinese herbal medicine to raise pigs, right?"

Liu Bangzu smiled bitterly when he heard this.

First of all, the efficacy of Chinese herbal medicine is relatively slow, and the cost is higher than that of vaccines and antibiotics, which is difficult for ordinary farmers to accept. ”

"Moreover, raising pigs using Chinese herbs also requires considerable experience and skill. However, most of the pig farms lack experience, and it is not very clear when to use what drugs, what kind of role will be played, etc., and there is a large blindness. ”

"In fact, Chinese herbal medicine is not a panacea, let alone a miracle medicine. However, as long as the unique functions of traditional Chinese medicine are understood, scientific application, combined with reasonable vaccination and supplemented with a small amount of necessary antibiotics, the comprehensive prevention and control of swine diseases is undoubted!"

Under the leadership of Liu Bangzu, Qi Zheng visited a nearby farm that also used Chinese herbal medicine to raise pigs.

After removing the doubts, Qi Zheng immediately made a decision, hoping that Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry could cooperate with Liu Bangzu to further promote this pioneering new breeding model.

Hearing that Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry intends to build a giant pig farm with an annual output of one million heads, Liu Bangzu's eyes almost popped out.

After reacting, he hurriedly agreed to cooperate. To have a bigger platform to play, he simply can't ask for it.

As for Qi Zheng's thoughts, even if Jiagu has the existence of a spirit array, it can suppress pathogenic microorganisms. The use of Chinese herbal medicine to raise pigs can also be beneficial in promoting the digestion of nutrients, isn't it? Moreover, to a certain extent, it can also disguise the existence of the spirit array, what else is there to say, it's you!
