Chapter 67: The Problem of Grazing Pastures
In less than ten minutes, all forty pigs obediently arrived at the grazing environment, and Jiang Xiaoliang immediately gave Jiang Yuanguo a thumbs up: "Awesome." ”
Jiang Yuanguo laughed, he was also inspired by the scene where Su Wanwan fed the king.
"After a few more days of going back and forth like this, the pigs will form a conditioned reflex, so that they don't have to worry about working as hard as they just did. Seeing that the grazing environment of forty piglets gradually became happy, Qin Hao couldn't help but praise.
Jiang Xiaoliang smiled and rubbed his hands: "That's right, that's right, this is really a good way, lifting the pig just now really broke me." ”
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, and when the time came, they changed a batch of adult pigs to graze in the grazing environment, and with bean cakes, the previous problems never appeared again. It wasn't until the evening that the three of them took the last batch of pigs back to the farm.
The grazing environment area is large enough, and with this method, the herd of pigs grazing each time also begins to become larger, from a small number of batches at the beginning, to a small number of batches and more quantities later, thanks to Jiang Yuanguo's method of bean cake. However, as this measure was implemented, the drawbacks gradually became apparent.
On this day, Jiang Yuanguo was sitting in front of the computer in the dormitory to record some points about the grazing environment, when he received a call from Jiang Xiaoliang, saying that the land in the grazing environment was a little seriously arched by pigs, and asked him to go over.
Grazing environment grazing is a random rotation system, and today Jiang Xiaoliang is free. Jiang Yuanguo knew that this little character would not take the initiative to find him in general matters, and even let him go over now.
So, after hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuanguo immediately went to the grazing environment, Jiang Xiaoliang was not far away, and when he saw Jiang Yuanguo, he immediately waved his hand: "Yuanguo, this way!"
Jiang Yuanguo walked over quickly. When he saw the place Jiang Xiaoliang pointed, he was stunned.
I saw that where Jiang Xiaoliang was, there was a basketball-sized pit, surrounded by arched soil and pasture, and even the grass roots were arched out.
"There are more than a dozen pits like this, and even the roots are arched out, and even if the pits are filled, it is not easy to recover. Jiang Xiaoliang frowned, this is also what he only found out today, and some of them have been trampled by pigs, and the pit has been filled slightly, which is not visible at first glance.
Jiang Yuanguo frowned, and called Qin Hao over again.
Qin Hao came over to take a look, and said in a slurp: "When the pig arrives in the grazing environment, this is wide and free, you can eat with an open stomach, or you can spread your legs and toss." However, we all know that domestic pigs are also domesticated from wild boars. Wild boars live in the wild all year round and food is hard to find, so they often need to open the land to find the roots and stems of grass plants to eat. And when in the wild, wild boars also like to eat this type of root food the most. But when it comes to the domestic pigs, although there is no shortage of food, this habit is still preserved. ”
Listening to him, it should have been a good thing, but this arch is too strong, even the soil deep in the grass roots is arched out, and it is not good.
Seeing that Jiang Yuanguo and Jiang Xiaoliang's eyes seemed to bury him in the pit, Qin Hao hurriedly said: "The grazing environment has the ability to repair itself, but it seems that the damage is too great, let's think of a way as soon as possible." ”
"That is, it does not destroy the grazing environment, but also allows the pigs to eat well. Jiang Xiaoliang made a summary after listening.
Qin Hao nodded, thought for a while, and said, "It is the nature of pigs to arch the soil, but with the domestication of wild boars, the habit of arching the ground on the domestic pig's side has actually become very, very small. In the current situation of our farm, I think it should be that we did not control the food well, which made the wild boar pick up its original nature. ”
Jiang Yuanguo and Jiang Xiaoliang didn't speak, waiting for his next step.
"Moreover, now we are all adult pigs, and to be honest, adult pigs have been in our farm for a long time. For such a long time, I have long been accustomed to the feed and crop food provided by our farms. Suddenly driving them to the grazing environment, not adapting is one thing, just like after the piglets are bought, there needs to be a transition period for them to adapt to this new environment. Speaking of this, Qin Hao glanced at the grazing environment and continued, "So, my suggestion is to control the feed when grazing. At present, the pigweed has not yet grown, and although the wild grass can be eaten by pigs, it is far from being as good as the feed we provide. We can use some containers to fill some feed and spread it out in various parts of the grazing area, so that the pigs will not have to look for food when they see that there is ready-made feed. ”
"And, as I have seen it, you have also taken a closer look at the soil that the pig has arched out, and there are some large and small rhizomes and rhizome debris nearby. These are all marks from pig bites. Therefore, it is completely certain that this is a deliberate act of nature by the pigs in search of food. ”
Jiang Yuanguo nodded and said: "I also remember, I checked some information two days ago, about the matter of the pig arching land, indeed, most of them are looking for food, as long as the pig is given a certain amount of food, they will not operate like this again." Moreover, this pothole is not particularly large, and the pig also knows that if it enlarges its own living environment, it will become very narrow, so this kind of football-sized space should be almost the limit. ”
"I see, it seems that I am too worried. But now that there is a way to deal with it, what should we do with the feed?" Jiang Xiaoliang asked.
Jiang Yuanguo grinned: "Qin Hao also said just now, just use containers to pick up some feed and put it in some areas of the grazing environment, and each feed basin should be at least thirty meters apart, so as to ensure that the pigs will not guard a bunch of food bowls to eat feed, and indirectly ensure their daily activities." ”
Jiang Xiaoliang patted his head: "My brain is short-circuited, and I haven't figured out this little thing." ”
"Hey, hey. Jiang Yuanguo and Qin Hao looked at Jiang Xiaoliang with a smile.
Then, the three of them laughed.
After a while, seeing that the time was almost up, they drove the pigs back together, then checked again, cleaned the manure and urine, added feed, and after doing this, went back to the dormitory.
As soon as he went back, Jiang Yuanguo turned on the computer, Jiang Xiaoliang and Qin Hao sat next to him left and right, and the three of them perfected what they just said in more detail and concretely. When it was completely finalized and the meal was ready, the three of them ate and continued to talk about the grazing environment.
After the plan for grazing was decided, everyone followed suit, and as time passed, the pig cubs joined the herding ranks, and the effect was showing little by little.
The farm is running in an orderly manner, Jiang Xiaoliang spends most of his time on the farm, Du Yunfang has stayed here, plus Su Wanwan, a total of three people, they take a fixed two hours every day, and Jiang Yuanguo and Qin Hao give lectures to teach them some relevant knowledge of breeding.
Among these three people, Jiang Xiaoliang has helped Jiang Yuanguo from the beginning to the present, and there is no problem except for some slightly complicated things that he does not understand. Su Wanwan was a while later than Jiang Xiaoliang, but when Qin Hao was hospitalized, she learned a lot about breeding with Qin Hao, plus the little girl was lively and studious, drawing inferences from one another, it was not a problem. Finally, Du Yunfang knows almost nothing about the breeding industry, but her down-to-earth and diligent character also makes her progress very fast.
With them, Jiang's father and mother spent most of their time in the mountains, taking care of their own poultry, and coming to the farm for a few days, or Jiang Yuanguo and others going to the mountains for a night.
The small group was gradually forming, and Jiang Yuanguo was naturally very happy in his heart.
As the number of pigs increases, the young piglets grow up, and the farm produces more and more manure every day, although the farm has no smell, but the area where the manure is stacked, the smell has been revealed.
Not to mention the biogas digester for septic tank fermentation. When it was first designed, the digester was not made very big, and in this case, it was not allowed to add more pig manure to the digester.
Otherwise, there will be a big problem.
Although the several farmland contractors who signed the contract before had demand, it was far from enough to eliminate so much pig manure, Jiang Yuanguo pondered, what method should be used to deal with this backlog of pig manure?
After inspecting the pigsty as usual, Jiang Yuanguo made a call to Zhao Lei.
"Hey, Yuanguo, how are you doing, I heard that your farm has expanded. As soon as he picked it up, Zhao Lei's bold voice rang out.
Jiang Yuanguo smiled: "Brother Zhao, don't laugh at me, I also heard that Brother Zhao was rated as an excellent farmer this year." ”
Not long ago, when Jiang Yuanguo was chatting with the village chief, he heard the village chief say that Zhao Lei's breeding industry was ready to develop into the village, so the village committee awarded him a pennant of outstanding farmers.
"Yuanguo, your news is good, what, is there something wrong?" Zhao Lei laughed, the aquaculture industry is developing better and better, and he is naturally the happiest.
Jiang Yuanguo was not ambiguous, and said straightforwardly: "Brother Zhao, I can't hide it, although my scale has expanded, but there is also more feces to be processed, I want to ask, Brother Zhao's side ......"
Speaking of this, Jiang Yuanguo paused slightly, obviously Zhao Lei had already understood what he meant, he laughed twice, and then said: "Yuanguo, Yuanguo, I knew that you were paying attention to this, it just so happened that I had two families who followed me, and it would take about a few days, and I would recommend them when the time came, so you just wait for the news." ”
"Okay, then thank you Brother Zhao, I will definitely invite you to dinner when I go back. Jiang Yuanguo said with a smile.
Hanging up the phone, Jiang Yuanguo breathed a sigh of relief, although the problem of pig manure was alleviated, Jiang Yuanguo had other plans in his heart.
He turned on the computer and looked it up on the Internet, what kind of pig dung to raise earthworms, pig dung to raise fish. Jiang Yuanguo looked at these messages carefully, refusing to let go of any detail, and thinking in his mind which ones were more feasible.
Instead of transporting pig manure, Jiang Yuanguo also has an idea, that is, to use pig manure himself and do some side jobs. In this way, the profit will be in your own hands.
After looking around, Jiang Yuanguo let out a long sigh.
The farm has just expanded its scale, and although the sales are guaranteed and profitable every month, it can't afford to toss other industries. Besides, the farm is only now truly on the right track, and his focus must be on that.
Jiang Yuanguo thought about it, but still didn't find a suitable method, he only felt that his head was buzzing and hurting, and his eyes were very sour.
