Chapter 201: Do You Want to Raise Chickens?
In fact, Lin Quan hadn't thought about this problem before, but if you want to raise livestock on the farm, you need to meet several conditions, first of all, the technical requirements. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Chickens and ducks and other poultry Lin Quan used to raise at home, but family farming and large-scale breeding are completely different two models, rural courtyards, a few chickens in the house, most of them are free-range, they love where to catch food are by them, the main food of these chickens and ducks is obtained from the outside, and the other part of the food is fed at home, of course, there are some delicious and lazy chickens, knowing that the home will be fed sooner or later, so do not go anywhere, just stay at home, concentrate on waiting for the point of eating, By the way, leaving a lot of chicken manure in front of the house as a trace it left in this world, this is more embarrassing, for such a chicken, Lin Quan is quite hateful!
Large-scale poultry breeding is completely different from small-scale family breeding, after the number of chickens comes up, there is no way to stock, must be kept in captivity, but the amount of chicken activity in captivity is not enough, plus a large number of chickens gathered together, so it is easy to get sick, like what H1N1 flu is prevalent at this time, this kind of thing is a virus that breaks out very quickly in poultry, so once it is found that there is a poultry infection, the poultry of the entire farm may need to be culled immediately.
Therefore, raising chickens is more troublesome, the cost is not too high, but the risk is not small, and it also has to waste a certain amount of manpower to enter, and the most important thing is that Lin Quan does not have the technology in this area.
As for raising pigs, this thing is not very easy to get, Niger is a Muslim country, most of the people in the country believe in Islam, for Muslims, you mention the word pig in front of him, it means disrespectful, if you dare to raise pigs and kill pigs, then you wait to be overcome by them!
So thinking about it this way, raising pigs is unrealistic, Lin Quan saw a news on the Internet before, saying that in China's neighbor Afghanistan, the only pig in their country was sent to the zoo and was raised as a baby, even when the Americans attacked Afghanistan, it was protected and not blown up, many Afghans have never seen a pig in their lives, so they have gone to the zoo to watch this pig, and this pig is jokingly called the happiest pig in the world by Chinese netizens......
It's not good to raise pigs, but sheep can be raised, but many dishes in Hunan and Sichuan cuisine are made of pork, and without pork, the types of dishes they can cook will be reduced a lot.
However, raising sheep on the farm, this is more unrealistic than raising pigs and chickens on the farm, compared to pigs, sheep are pure herbivores, they need a lot of grass, and they are not easy to accept captivity, unlike pigs, pigs are omnivorous, almost all that can be eaten, you give pork it to eat, it can eat, of course, this pork is to be burned!
The reason why pigs are regarded as the first source of meat products is because it grows meat quickly, is not picky, and has a short growth cycle, compared with pigs, the growth cycle of sheep is obviously much longer.
After a comprehensive comparison, it seems that in the end there are only chickens that can be raised, and ****** Lin Quan went back to look through a lot of information and found a new type of breeding, which is similar to free-range captivity!
It sounds very awkward, in fact, this thing is also captive, but compared to the traditional chicken farm, this kind of captivity is more similar to stocking, that is, in a place to fence the fence, and then drive the chickens in, the area of this area should be large enough, so that the chickens can have a certain degree of activity in it, and even can forage in it, so that they will not be held together, the air flow will be better, and the chicken's activity will go up, the taste of the chicken will also improve a lot, and it will not be all butter broilers!
But the area of this piece of land should not be too large, otherwise the chickens will be too scattered, which will greatly increase the workload, and it will be difficult for people to manage.
Thinking about it this way, Lin Quan feels that there are many places on his farm that are suitable for raising chickens like this, there are many woods that have grown up in the farm, and the open space under these woods is used as a location, and the chickens are put in, and then every other distance, they form a small chicken pen, so that the chickens can move in it, and the number will not be very large, and the manure they excrete in it will also become an excellent fertilizer for these trees, and the chicken manure can also be used to raise fish. However, this way of raising fish will cause great damage to the water quality, so Lin Quan still thinks about it.
If the fish eats the chicken manure and grows fish meat, you let him eat the fish again, it is estimated that he will not be able to accept it!
If you want to eat meat, you have to raise chickens! Lin Quan felt that his farm was gradually about to change its name, and it could no longer be called a farm in the future, but would be handed over to the farm!
There is agriculture, fishery, tourism and poultry in Zhuangzi, and there is also industry, but there are fewer people, and if there are more people, this side can even become a small town.
In order to learn the breeding experience, Lin Quan specially went to the Internet to visit some forums, of course, these are domestic forums, there are many people in the teaching experience, which has a lot of knowledge is relatively good, for example, when feeding chickens, do not only feed feed, add some vegetables, it is best to selectively add some vegetables containing more minerals, which can make the growth of chickens faster, and will also improve their egg production rate and the nutritional value of eggs, such as feeding some spinach and Chinese cabbage, these two vegetables are more acceptable to chickensAfter the chicken eats it, it can be supplemented with iron, and the eggs produced are more suitable for children and pregnant women to eat.
Lin Quan has long wanted to raise something, not only chickens, other things can also be, such as rabbits, although this thing is also herbivorous, but their size is much smaller than that of sheep, there are some alfalfa on the farm, this thing is actually eaten by rabbits, and rabbits also like to eat soybean leaves, Lin Quan's farm grows a lot of soybeans, these soybeans are mainly planted for nitrogen fixation, to increase fertility of the land, at this time it is just to use, you can use these leaves to feed rabbits, Moreover, the taste of rabbit meat is very tender, and compared to the huge smell of mutton, this kind of meat is more acceptable.
Lin Quan specially asked Wang Gucheng's opinion, the farm can't raise pigs, and the pork sold in this neighborhood is basically difficult to buy, at this time, you can only use other things instead, chicken can be used as a supplement, rabbit meat and mutton can also be used as a supplement, it depends on Wang Gucheng's skills, to see if he has the ability to play the strengths of these things.
"Although these can't completely replace pork, since there is no way to get pork, it's okay to use these!"
So far, Wang Gucheng has no choice but to accept the reality, now it is okay to do it, it can't be done, there is no pork to reduce some dishes, but after all, the main guests are for foreign tourists, and they know that there will definitely not be many types of Chinese food, so as long as the dishes on the menu are not too few and too cold, they can basically be satisfied.
In Hunan cuisine, there are dozens of ways to make fish alone, plus mutton and chicken, you can almost make up more than 30 meat dishes, plus vegetarian dishes, which is completely enough.
Moreover, among the people in Europe and the United States, there are more vegetarians, they may not necessarily like meat, and Lin Quan's side is not a star-rated hotel, there are only three people's kitchens, and they can't ask for so much.
