1207 Innovation Model

Seeing that Xiao Feng was also full of shock, Wan Gongzi was also very proud at this time.

It turns out that there are still things that you Xiao Feng doesn't know?

Although this set of breeding procedures and equipment were designed with the help of engineers from Xiao Feng's company.

But Wan Gongzi is still inevitably proud.

Then he began to explain to Xiao Feng.

"Actually, the building for the cattle is also designed by your company's engineers, and the breeding process is needed. If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I wouldn't have believed it......"

This beef cattle breeding is definitely the top priority in Wan Gongzi's farm.

Because in recent years, with the improvement of the living standards of the domestic people, people's eating habits are also changing.

In the past, Chinese people preferred to eat pork, mainly because they were too poor in the past.

Pigs are relatively good, the slaughter cycle is short, and the meat yield is also high.

Moreover, the fat content of pork is also relatively high, and it is more suitable for Chinese people's cooking preferences, and the most important thing is that it tastes delicious.

However, with the improvement of people's living standards, there are more and more scientific and technological exchanges with foreign countries.

People are also becoming more aware that eating beef is much healthier than eating pork in red meat.

Because pork, even lean meat, can reach 13 or 15 percent fat content.

If you eat pork regularly, you are more likely to gain weight and get sick.

The fat content of beef is only about 7 percent, so it is not easy to gain weight if you eat beef.

Therefore, in recent years, the consumption of beef by Chinese people has become higher and higher.

At present, the annual market share of beef in China is about 800 billion yuan.

Among them, the domestic production capacity can only meet the share of about 600 billion yuan.

In other words, we need to import about 200 billion yuan of beef every year to meet the domestic demand for beef.

And this share is still growing.

You must know that in China, the per capita annual consumption of meat is about 63 kilograms.

Of those, 75 percent is pork, and beef is only 10 percent.

According to statistics, China's current per capita annual consumption of beef is only 5.95 kilograms.

And this is far from the average Europeans and Americans who eat more than 30 kilograms of beef per person per year.

With the development of our economy, more and more families have entered the middle class, and the pursuit of quality of life is getting higher and higher.

Then the demand for beef among consumers in our country is also destined to increase.

So Wan Gongzi, in fact, this time to engage in breeding, the real point of force is actually in cattle raising.

Because he also saw it clearly early on, and now many bigwigs are engaged in pig raising.

For example, a certain big guy who does online games, as well as the big guy who built a house before, and even Erma have begun to quietly lay out in the pig industry.

All these people see is a possible downturn in the domestic economy in the coming years.

Ordinary people's wallets may shrink, but there is a need to eat meat, so they have entered the pig industry.

If they have the capital and can find technical experts, then their breeding will definitely be much cheaper than the previous extensive small-scale free-range farming model.

So they feel that this market is profitable.

And what they can see, Wan Gongzi can also see, but what he values more is the later development.

There may be difficulties, but once this hurdle is over, what about the economic recovery in the future?

Does he still have to compete with those bigwigs in this industry?

So it's better to differentiate from the start.

So his farm, in fact, focuses on cattle raising.

When it comes to modern cattle raising, it is very different from the past, and the grazing method on the vast grassland in everyone's impression is very different.

In fact, there are two kinds of cattle on the market now, one is grass-fed and the other is grain-fed.

Grass-fed cattle are, to put it bluntly, the kind that are primitively raised on the pasture.

Grain-fed, on the other hand, is fed with feed in the cowshed.

Considering that China's grassland is scarce, and many places need to protect the environment, so in fact, a large number of grain-fed breeding models are more suitable for China's cattle breeding model.

In the central region of China, such as southern Henan, Ludong and other areas of cattle farmers, basically adopt the model of barn grain feeding.

It's just that their breeding mode is relatively low-end.

And what really developed the grain feeding model of the cowshed to the state of vocational high school is actually the Wagyu cattle made by our neighbors.

If you look at Japan, this island country, not only farmland, but also not many places suitable for raising cattle.

Because they don't even have a basic grassland, there are only a few pieces of grassland on the Hokkaido side.

But why are they able to raise world-famous Wagyu beef?

It is because they have taken the feeding method of barn grain to the extreme.

When people talk about Wagyu beef, the first impression in their minds is that the cow wants to drink beer, listen to music, and someone massages the cow.

But no one ever paid attention to where those Wagyu cows lived.

Kobe is not a place where there are many grasslands where cattle can be raised.

There are many Wagyu cattle that live in cowsheds for the rest of their lives.

The design of the cowshed of Wagyu beef is very particular.

For those who have visited the Wagyu cattle breeding base, the first impression when they arrive at the cattle farm is that it is very clean.

Even if you walk in, you won't smell cow dung, and the traditional cow dung culture is used by mosquitoes and flies.

It is very common in our country that half of the cow is covered with cow dung, and it is not allowed to appear in other people's cattle farms.

And Wan Gongzi's new barn-style cowshed is actually borrowed from the Japanese experience of raising Wagyu cattle.

It's just that the cowshed is designed to be bigger.

The cattle in each pen are fed in the pen every morning.

After that, it will be slaughtered and raised, even if it is a cattle in captivity in a cowshed.

Because cattle can't always be enclosed in the pen, and after a long time, the cattle will get sick, so it is necessary to let the cattle out to protect from the wind.

It's just different from driving out of the cowshed and going out into the wilderness to let off steam.

Because this cattle farm doesn't have that much area, and there isn't that much grass outside for cattle to graze.

So the engineer designed a staircase for the oxen to walk.

In addition to the pen, the cattle will slowly walk up the stairs under the 'care' of the sheepdogs.

That's why the main reason for the design of the building for the cow, on the third and fourth floors, there will be small squares.

After the cows enter here, there will be a special passage to connect, and the girls can walk the maze in this square.

And the roof above this floor can be opened automatically, so that the cows can receive sunlight here.

There are even auxiliary ultraviolet spotlights on the floor, which can more effectively kill insect eggs and germs on the cows.

At the same time, the workers had to clean the cowshed.

All the manure in the barn is discharged into the septic tank outside through the underground drainage system.

It is then piped directly into a specially designed biogas digester for cattle farms.

The biogas produced can be used for cooking and bathing by the farm employees.

There are other surpluses, which need to be supplied to the power generation equipment of the plant, which can help the plant solve a large part of the electricity problem.

As for the manure in the digester, after a period of fermentation, it becomes a very good farm manure.

At that time, on the one hand, this farm fertilizer can be used on their own farms, and on the other hand, some of it can even be sold to local farmers at a low price.

The cattle are on the top floor, and after sunbathing, they are driven down by the sheepdogs.

On the lower floors, there is a shower sterilization before returning to the cowshed.

This is a flow cycle complete.

After the cattle return to the cattle pen downstairs, the upstairs will start the process of cleaning and sterilization.

This design, although the upfront investment cost of the entire barn-type cowshed is very high.

But as long as it is built, because of the use of a lot of durable steel equipment, such a barn can be used for many years once it is built.

Long-term apportionment, can greatly reduce the cost of breeding.

The most critical problem of this breeding method is to solve the most difficult site problem of cattle raising in the past.

You must know that the most headache of traditional cattle raising is how to get a high-quality pasture.

And even if you get a ranch, the maintenance and maintenance of the ranch every year is very expensive.

The pasture should be weeded and the fertility of the land should be protected, otherwise it will not grow high-quality grass in the second year.

And you have to eat according to the weather, and if the drought doesn't rain, you have to irrigate the pastures.

So it seems that the traditional farming method seems to have a low initial input cost.

But in the long run, it is really not as cost-effective as this kind of cowshed grain feeding method.

Moreover, this intensive breeding model can also be replicated on a large scale, and the economic benefits that can be created will be higher.

And if you talk about the quality of beef, then people who eat beef regularly may know it.

Just like free-range chickens, grass-fed beef is very difficult to cook, and you have to simmer for two or three hours without a pressure cooker.

Not to mention the waste fire, it is difficult to taste.

The grain-fed ones are much better, the meat is tender and juicy, easy to cook, and very delicious.

If you really want to talk about nutritional value, it is actually half a catty.

There is no need to talk about natural products, which are already better than industrial products.

In fact, in today's era of industrial assimilation, in fact, sometimes the quality of things produced by industrial mass production is really stronger than many so-called natural products!

Wan Gongzi proudly introduced Xiao Feng to the situation of his cowshed in the new era.

"So, the quality of the beef produced by such free-range cattle is actually not worse than those free-range. ”

"And although the use of feed from the Pan American Agricultural Development Corporation will greatly shorten the slaughter cycle of beef cattle. ”

"But the quality of the beef does not decrease at all, and the marbling of the cow's muscles does not decrease, but increases. ”
