In a closed place not far from the junction of Vietnam, Min and Jiangxi provinces, a core pig farm of Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry is embedded in the green mountains and beautiful waters in the most harmonious and natural way.

This is one of the biggest confidence in the "explosion" of the Jiagu pig industry.

However, Qi Zheng and his entourage, who came to inspect the situation, were stopped in the quarantine area 3 kilometers away.

"Dong Qi, Mr. Li, Chen Gong, and Assistant Wei. As far as the four of you apply for admission, I'll take a look, um, the biosecurity manager has approved it, and I'm allowed to enter. A staff member looked at the registration information, and then looked at Qi Zheng and his party one by one, and said expressionlessly.

"Let me explain in advance that you can't bring all your belongings into the venue, including mobile phones and wallets, and there are lockers there to store them. Wait a minute, you have to go to the sample collection first, sample and test your hands, hair, and shoes, and after sampling, start to carry out disinfection, bathing, changing shoes, and change clothes, and then isolate for 48 hours to ensure that the test results are not abnormal, and then allow you to enter the site...... "The staff is like a robot, without emotion and concisely and clearly explaining the requirements of biosecurity management.

“......”

It wasn't until the belongings storage area that Wei Mingtong, assistant to the chairman, came to his senses and muttered, "Is this guy a robot......?"

Wei Ming can be regarded as following Qi Zheng up and down many departments in Jiagu, but the Jiagu employees who know the identity of Qi Zheng's big boss but completely ignore it, to be honest, this is the first case.

Li Dongliang of Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry smiled, and praised: "Don't say it, this kind of iron-faced and selfless employee may not be pleasing in other places, but it is perfect to be placed on the front line of biosecurity management." ”

Qi Zheng and Chen Jianzhang both nodded in agreement.

Among the four people present, only Wei Ming came for the first time, so Li Dongliang also explained a few more words to him: "We are disinfecting and isolating before entering the pig farm, but after passing this pass, we can only be regarded as entering the pig farm." If you want to enter the production area of the pig farm, you need to bathe, change clothes and isolate again for at least 24 hours, and then you can say that you can move freely in the main field, no, you can't say 'free movement', because there are still many 'forbidden areas' inside, and non-staff are not allowed to enter......"

"Inside and outside the pig farm, there are nearly 800 surveillance cameras in all corners, many of which have face recognition functions, so to speak, strangers do not say rash intrusion, even if they are allowed to enter, like us, if they rashly set foot in the 'forbidden area', they will trigger the alarm. So, don't run around......"

Wei Ming was stunned when he heard this, and couldn't help but exclaim: "This is really ...... The most stringent non-plague prevention and control level!"

"Assistant Wei, you're wrong. Li Dongliang smiled and said: "This is not a non-plague prevention and control measure, but just a normal biosafety management measure for this breeding farm." Let's put it this way, from the first day of the construction of this breeding farm, it has been implemented in accordance with such strict prevention and control standards. ”

"Watt?" Wei Ming blinked.

After the non-plague, he has not seen the Jiagu pig farm that started prevention and control, but he is not afraid to say that the same "highest level of biosecurity measures" is still a certain distance compared to the cumbersome and strict this time.

But this is actually a "normal" standard? Every time you enter and leave the farm, you have to go through a sterilization procedure that is more stringent than when a doctor enters the operating room? What kind of mood should the employees working on this farm have?

Before coming, Wei Ming had already done to understand that the pig breeding industry is the leader of the pig industry, and the core breeding farm is also the most mysterious and technical "weapon" of the Jiagu agricultural and animal husbandry pig breeding system. But there was no more moment than this moment that made him realize the extent of the "core" of this breeding farm.

Wei Ming put all his belongings into the locker and said with a wry smile: "If I hadn't done it beforehand, I would have thought that we were coming to some kind of endangered animal sanctuary." ”

"You're right. On the other side, Chen Jianzhang, the boss of the Jiagu laboratory, interjected, "Isn't this an endangered pig breed reserve?"

"Pig ...... Endangered?" Wei Ming was stunned again.

Facts have proved that for this one of the most mysterious pig farms in the Jiagu pig system, Wei Ming's "homework" in advance is still insufficient.

Qi Zheng knew, Chen Jianzhang was not joking.

It is a breeding farm, but it is also a protected area for endangered pig breeds, and it can even be said that it is one of the largest "reserves" for native pigs in China.

In the eyes of the layman, breeding is a relatively mysterious job.

But to put it bluntly, that's the same thing.

For example, pig breeding, in the simplest terms, is to select excellent individuals for breeding purposes, so that the offspring can perform better than their parents. Repeating this process results in a steady improvement in pig performance.

"Landrace", "York", "Duroc", these three foreign breeds are currently the most widely used pig breeds for the production of commercial pigs, generally speaking, the core of the breeding work is to improve the three purebred pigs.

But how could Jiagu ignore our country's most abundant pig breed resources in the world?

Pork is eaten every day, but most Chinese people don't know that the pork they eat is of "foreign pig" blood. Among the new generation of young people, they don't know whether they have eaten real local pigs or not.

However, most of the answers should be no. Because, not to mention the market, many native pigs have even reached the state of endangered or extinct.

Pigs have also become rare animals?

The answer is yes – out of 88 local pig breeds, only 13 are in normal condition. Aside from the sharp decline in numbers, four pig species, such as the Xiangcheng pig, have become extinct, and another 31 are endangered.

For example, the number of sows in the famous Jinhua Ham production of Jinhua Ham has dropped from nearly 250,000 in 1980 to more than 10,000 now, so many of the "Jinhua Ham" still sold on the market are estimated to be unqualified to be called this name.

That's pretty good. For example, the number of sows in the Yue Province has dropped from 13,000 in the 80s to several hundred now, and the number of Bamei pigs, Chenghua pigs, Neijiang pigs, etc., was once only in the triple digits.

"A few years ago, when the situation was at its most critical, there were only a few dozen or even a dozen of some endangered pig breeds left, which was really rarer than giant pandas. Chen Jianzhang recalled the past and sighed: "Our native pigs are all in a very difficult and harsh natural environment, breeding for thousands of years, and inheriting them to this day." But it escaped natural selection, but it almost couldn't escape the market choice. The white pigs introduced now seem to grow fast, but with a single gene, it is easier to be served in a pot when a certain disease strikes......"

These words reminded the other three of them of the current non-plague who "swept thousands of armies" in China, and they were also embarrassed.

Of course, it does not mean that the native pig can resist non-plague, but there is no doubt that the native pig breed has stronger resistance to adverse environments and disease resistance.

Now, it is very necessary for the protection of local pigs.

At this point, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry is at the forefront of all pig enterprises.

"If I'm not mistaken, there are 16 endangered local pig breeds in this breeding farm, right?" Qi Zheng recalled for a moment, turned his head and asked.

"Yes. Chen Jianzhang's mood suddenly rose, and he said with a smile: "Speaking of which, our protection work is still very effective. Like Lingao pigs, there was only one male and one female at the beginning, and after breeding, the number has exceeded 100. Of course, the priority of this breed is to maintain its current trait and try not to alter its existing appearance and performance. For example, the population size of the large white flower pig in Yue Province has been expanded, and it can be cross-bred with other pigs or other breeds of pigs......"

"Alright, Lao Chen, I know it's all thanks to your research team. You can see it when you go in, so let's go to disinfection and quarantine now. Li Dongliang interrupted Chen Jianzhang's impromptu "boasting" and urged.

Chen Jianzhang smiled dumbly, and then shrugged.

The four of them said no more, and each went to the shower to change clothes and perform quarantine.

After two nights and one day of isolation, several people officially stepped into the breeding farm.

The first time Wei Ming came, he saw that the mountains were stacked with green, the blue waves were sparkling, the continuous pig barn and office buildings integrated the architectural elements of the Hui school, and the aura of the mountains and rivers was like a royal garden-style pig farm.

Behind him was Li Dongliang's introduction with a smile: "Xiao Wei, welcome to China's largest pig farm." In front of you is a super breeding pig breeding farm with 200,000 breeding pigs and an area of more than 20,000 acres!"
