Chapter 150: The Cattle Farm Opens

As the time entered October, he called home and asked him if he wanted to go back and have a look at the first cattle from the cattle farm. Although there were Professor Zhong Guotao and Professor Lang in the cattle farm to help keep an eye on it, he still had to go back and take a look. In addition, I heard my uncle Tian Jianyu say that many people in the village have handed over the land, and the family is already mowing the grass to make silage, and he also wants to go back to learn about the cultivation of the land and the traceability records of green planting.

In a few days, the functional prototype of the cotton picker will be tested, and he will go to the test field in Hainan to see the test machine, plus the track and field meeting at the end of October, he may not have time to go home before the wheat is sown.

Tagawa returned to Tianjia Village on the evening of September 30th, and the first cattle from the cattle farm will enter the farm on the afternoon of October 2nd, which is nearly two days away. However, he did not have a chance to rest in the past two days, and the gas station for his sister has been completed and passed the acceptance, and will open on the National Day, and he will attend the opening ceremony.

Tian Chuan originally wanted to organize the opening ceremony himself, but he really couldn't spare the time, so he entrusted Zhou Jiahui and Xu Fatzi from Qinglong Town to help organize it. There is nothing special about this ceremony, but it is to invite all relevant units and nearby local snakes to visit, have another meal, take care that this gas station is covered by people, show their muscles, and avoid some trouble for future operations.

The opening ceremony went smoothly, led everyone to visit the gas station, gave the guests a discount card for the gas station, and went to the fat restaurant at noon to have a meal.

The gas station opened at 6 a.m., and the gas station facing the road, which had been surrounded by fences, was removed and a large advertisement was hung with a large advertisement for the opening of the gas station and the big reward.

The opening offer mainly includes three aspects, one is to give gifts on the opening day, the gift is not expensive, it is some small things worth a few dollars. The second is to buy fuel cards of different denominations to give different discounts. The third is the discount for recharging gas cards.

At Tagawa's suggestion, all customers who buy gas cards have discounts, but all * are issued according to the original value before the discount, which attracts many customers. In 95 years, private cars are a very rare existence, only a very small number of people own, most of the vehicles are public cars or company vehicles, to refuel or buy fuel cards are basically the company or agency full-time drivers or fleet supervisors, for these people, the preferential policy of full invoicing has full attraction. The duration of the offer was one week, and the value of the fuel cards sold on the first day was staggering, far exceeding Tagawa and his sister's expectations.

After the opening ceremony, Tagawa handed over the operation of the gas station to his sister, and he really didn't have the energy to take care of it. In the preparation stage, Tian Chuan thought that his sister and brother-in-law had no time to manage, so he directly trained two store managers to be responsible for the operation of the gas station, and his sister only needed to make decisions on some more important things.

After a busy day, the next day was the day when the cattle were brought into the cattle farm, and Tagawa came to see the cattle farm on the evening of his return, and he came to the cattle farm again early that morning.

The silage made from the grass has been filled in the two fermentation chambers, and the harvested and crushed grass and beans are constantly being sent to the silage process. The cattle pen has been built, the facilities are relatively complete, the cowshed has the function of temperature and humidity regulation, the drinking water outlet is automatic, and the feeding and cleaning of the pen need to be carried out manually. No way, fully automatic equipment is too expensive, and manual operation is much cheaper in comparison. At present, the labor cost is not high, and Tagawa would rather hire a few more people than buy the expensive automation equipment. I am afraid that only the western developed countries with frighteningly high labor costs will have a market for these devices.

The disinfection of the enclosure and various equipment and facilities has been completed in advance, and the safe physical method of disinfection is adopted, which is the requirement of green farming. Tian Chuan invited two professional veterinarians to prepare to conduct a comprehensive physical examination of each cow when the new cattle entered the field, to make a comprehensive survey of the various problems existing in the cows, and to establish a health file for each cow.

At nine o'clock, Professor Lang and Professor Zhong arrived from the capital together. They were joined by Professor Liu Fengying, who wanted to conduct a comprehensive and systematic survey of the cooperative's land before the autumn ploughing, establish a file for each piece of land, and put forward suggestions for the healthy development of the land.

After getting off the bus, Professor Lang and Professor Zhong began to conduct a final inspection of the facilities of the cattle farm, and Professor Liu did not stay at the cattle farm for long, and went to the field with his assistant accompanied by Tian Jianyu.

The morning passed quickly, and at two o'clock in the afternoon, two large trucks loaded with cattle drove up to the front of the cattle farm. Tagawa did not let the wagons into the cattle farm, unloaded the cattle at the door, and herded them into a makeshift fence erected on the farm. This time there were 100 adult cows, which were sold in mixed herds, including young cows, adult cows, bulls and a few old cows. Having just arrived in a new environment, these cows are a little uncomfortable, and they are a little nervous.

The two veterinarians first assessed the basic health of the cattle and, when they saw that there were no obvious injuries or illnesses, told Qi Ligang, as the supervisor of the cattle farm, that the herd could be accepted. After handing over the goods to the delivery person, the truck left, at which point the veterinarian began to conduct a detailed medical examination of the cattle head by head, as well as establish a health file.

After each cow has completed a medical examination, as long as there are no serious health problems, the cattle are removed from the temporary pens and the cattle farm staff herds the cattle into the pre-divided barns for feed and water. Some of the cattle that were not in good health were isolated and kept in a separate calf hutch in the corner of the farm.

At the same time as the examination, put on the ear tag for each year. The ear tag is marked with a simple number, only a number and a barcode, through which you can easily find all the information about the cow. Tian Chuan originally wanted to use electronic ear tags, but at present, there is no mature electronic ear tag system for sale in China, if you use imported ones, the price is not cost-effective, so you have to use barcode ear tags made of this plastic sheet first. In fact, the overall number of cattle in Tagawa's cattle farm is not large, and the amount of work required to use barcode ear tags is not much greater than that of electronic ear tags.

A detailed physical examination of 100 cattle took a lot of time from two veterinarians and was not completed until it was getting dark. This is the end of today's work, and tomorrow two veterinarians will vaccinate the entire herd, deworm the whole herd, and also treat the symptoms of the cattle that have been isolated and are not in good health.

In the evening, Tagawa came out of the cattle farm, he did not drive, and walked to the village, and the way back was to pass the tourist picking garden in Beigang. The greenhouses in the picking garden are full of light, which means that the owners of the greenhouses are still working in the sheds, and at the same time, they can also add some light to the crops in the sheds. Now the picking garden is a big construction site, the planning of the garden has been done, several buildings are under construction, the progress of the project is very tight, and there are still many people rushing to work at night.

After passing through the picking garden under construction, you will come to the main road into the village, turn south and walk less than 200 meters into the village. At the entrance of the village, the original village primary school has been converted into a tall three-story building, which is a cultural and sports center that has been basically completed. Now that the main body of the building has been completed, the interior decoration and equipment installation are underway, and the windows of the cultural and sports center are also shining with lights, and bursts of noise from the construction equipment come from the windows. The cultural and sports center is expected to be completed in mid-October and open in late October. Tian Chuan is looking forward to this cultural and sports center, hoping that it will bring a new atmosphere to the village.

Now that the sewers in the village have been repaired, and the dry toilets of almost all households have been converted into clean and hygienic water toilets, the village is filled with a strong smell of feces. There is no way, after the construction of the advanced water closet, the original aqua toilet is being dismantled. In the words of village chief Wang Dayong, it will stink for a period of time when dismantling the latrine anyway, and the long pain is better than the short pain, and it is better to concentrate on it and complete it in the shortest possible time.

After nearly a week of continuous work, the demolition work was nearing completion, and hundreds of latrines in the village were opened at the same time, and the sour smell made it impossible to breathe normally. However, fortunately, the demolition work is carried out using a fully sealed fecal suction truck, which first pumps out the feces in the pit, and then the manure pit is filled with the engineering soil that has been prepared, and then begins to demolish the toilet building, which is a better treatment plan, which can control the smell to a minimum, otherwise the village will really not be able to stay people.

In fact, the human sense of smell has a self-protection function, that is, it can adapt to any smell. As long as you stay in the village for a little longer, the stench will become less intense until you gradually lose your senses. Although the people in the village can adapt, every time they enter the village from outside the village, they will go through such a process, which also makes everyone almost drunk. In order to maintain the good reputation of tourist picking, the picking group in the past few days has been canceled to visit the village, including the museum built in the center of the village, which has also been temporarily closed, and several people who work in the museum have a rare two-week long vacation.

Tagawa's house is in the southeast corner of the village, which is a lucky location, at this time it has just entered autumn, the wind direction is mostly south or southwest, Tagawa is in the upwind outlet, do not have to bathe in the strong smell every day, so that Tagawa took a few deep breaths of relatively fresh air when he arrived home.

Several of the village's main roads were built in parallel with the excavation and construction of sewers, and the original brick-paved potholes were replaced by new asphalt pavement, which was a little unpleasant. While paving the road, small flower beds in front of each house were built at the same time to facilitate the planting of vegetables or flowers in the future and beautify the village. The tree pit on the side of the road has been dug up, but the saplings have not yet been planted. The village is going to plant it together with the tourist picking garden.
