41. Abnormalities in fattening cattle

At about four o'clock in the afternoon, Song Zihui sent Tang Ming to the airport.

"See you in Australia in a few days. After Tang Ming finished speaking, he waved his hand to Song Zihui, picked up the suitcase, and led the big fat and the second fat to enter the airport from the VIP channel and get on the plane.

Because Song Qian and Allen returned to the ranch the day before yesterday, this time the plane did not stop in the capital and flew directly to Australia.

Tang Ming had a very special dinner on the plane, lay on the sofa and played with his mobile phone for a while, covered the blanket sent by the flight attendant and fell asleep.

When he woke up, the plane was still in the sky and had not landed, Tang Ming asked the flight attendant for a cup of coffee, sat on the sofa, and looked at the scenery outside the window while drinking coffee, which had a unique style.

When the plane was about to arrive in Brisbane, Tang Ming suddenly felt a little impatient in his heart, he left for ten days, and he didn't know what the situation of the ranch was now.

Finally, at seven o'clock in the morning in Brisbane, the plane landed.

Tang Ming led the big fat and the second fat to get off the plane, came to the exit of the station, and saw Mike.

Mike stepped forward and gave Tang Ming a hug and said, "Boss, welcome you back, and I wish you a happy new year." ”

Tang Ming smiled: "Thank you, I also wish you a happy New Year." ”

Mike said, "Boss, get in the car, let's talk as we go." ”

"Okay. Tang Ming and the others came to the parking lot, found his Ford Raptor F650, got into the car, and Tang Ming asked about the situation of the ranch.

Mike said: "Boss, everything else in the ranch is very good, but the growth rate of fattening cattle is a little fast, all cattle can gain about two kilograms a day, at first I thought it was an accidental phenomenon, but I carefully watched the data in the monitoring room, and found that this is not an accidental phenomenon, but has been going on for a while, I am afraid that there will be some problems." ”

Tang Ming asked suspiciously, "Isn't it good for fattening cattle to grow fast?"

Mike explained: "It's really not good, it's a little abnormal, but normally, Angus black cattle gain about a kilogram a day when they are fattening, and it is impossible to reach two kilograms, which is more than double the normal value, if it happens once in a while, or if this happens to one of the cows, we can also explain that the water is drinking too much, but now this is the case with all cattle, and I am worried that there is a problem with the feed, which may contain hormones or other substances, so that our cattle may not be able to sell." ”

"It's really that serious. Tang Ming was shocked, thinking if something was really wrong.

"It's really serious. Mike nodded heavily.

Tang Ming thought for a while and said: "When we mix the feed, we never add any hormones or other things to the feed, and these feeds are all bought from regular feed companies, so there is no problem?"

Mike said: "I am also surprised, in Australia feed management is very strict, it is indeed impossible to appear shoddy, or even add hormones, but now fattening cattle do have problems, there is no other explanation, can only find the cause from the feed." ”

"Feed, feed, feed ......" Tang Ming muttered a few words, and suddenly a flash of inspiration flashed in his mind, is it not the reason for the feed, but the reason for the water.

The water that the fattening cattle drink is pumped up from the lake, filtered and purified, and then some minerals are added before feeding the cattle, a cow has to drink thirty or forty liters of lake water every day, so much lake water, even if it only contains one thousandth of the pool water, it is also very good for the growth of the fattening cattle.

Thinking of this, Tang Ming knew it in his heart, but he was still a little uneasy, and asked again: "Mike, what method can be used to test whether the cow has eaten hormones." ”

Mike hesitated for a moment and said: "It needs to be sent to the slaughterhouse, the slaughterhouse has a chemist, who can test the beef, and can test whether the beef contains some hormones or other prohibited ingredients, if there is a problem with the beef, the slaughterhouse will report to the beef association and the bureau, and the beef will be destroyed, and in serious cases, the ranch will even prohibit the breeding of beef cattle." ”

Tang Ming said: "Okay, just send a fattening cow to the slaughterhouse to check if there is a problem with the beef." ”

Mike said urgently: "Boss, it's too risky to do this, don't you think about it again." ”

Tang Ming said categorically: "No need, just do it." ”

Mike was silent for a moment and said, "Okay, listen to you." ”

Tang Ming patted Mike's shoulder and said, "Mike, don't worry, no one in our ranch adds any hormones to the feed, if there is a problem with the beef, it must be a problem with the feed bought, we can complain to them, we can ask the Administration to inspect their feed, I believe it will not affect the ranch." ”

Mike said, "Okay, that's it. ”

After returning to the ranch, Tang Ming went upstairs to change his clothes and came to the cowshed.

Mike was already waiting for him here, and the two of them came to the monitoring room, Mike turned on the computer, called up the growth data of the feeder cow, pointed to the computer screen and said, "Boss, this is the information of each cow, you can take a look." ”

The monitoring room is the most advanced place in the pasture, which can monitor the weight of each cow in real time, and can also detect the temperature and humidity in the barn, so as to facilitate adjustment and provide the most comfortable environment for these fattening cattle.

Tang Ming saw that the data and line chart in the computer showed that the growth of all cattle was abnormal, and each cow gained an average of about two kilograms per day.

After nearly a month of feeding, these shelf cattle, which were originally only more than 200 kilograms, are now more than 300 kilograms, and the growth rate is very gratifying, which should be a happy thing, but now it has cast a shadow.

Tang Ming finished reading it and said, "Mike, you pick a cow and take it to the slaughterhouse, I'll wait for you in the ranch, if you have any questions, you can call me." ”

Mike said, "Okay, I'll do it." ”

Mike left the monitoring room, called two cowboys, picked a cow in the cowshed, and pulled him out of the ranch.

Tang Ming returned to the villa and waited anxiously.

"Boss, when are you coming back. ”

Song Qian came to the villa and saw Tang Ming sitting on the sofa in the living room.

Tang Ming said: "I just came back, Mike went to pick me up, by the way, how are you doing when you go home?"

"It's not bad, my parents like Alan very much, and Alan also proposed to me, and we have discussed getting married on May Day this year. Song Qian looked very sweet.

Tang Ming sincerely blessed you: "Congratulations, you are finally about to achieve positive results." ”

Song Qian said happily: "Thank you." ”

Tang Ming asked again, "What kind of wedding are you going to have?"

Song Qian longed: "Alan and I haven't thought about it yet, but it will definitely be very romantic." ”

Tang Ming said: "It will definitely be." ”

After chatting with Song Qian for a while, Tang Ming's mood relaxed a lot, and when Song Qian left, he was not so nervous, and waited until the afternoon, when Mike's call came back.
