Chapter 51: Breeding

As soon as the discussion of the mine rehabilitation plan ended, Professor Shen and Fang Xiao went back first. Shi Hui also got first-hand information about the early rice harvest, and there was nothing else to go home beforehand. Only Zhang Shuyue still has to stay in Renjiazhuang for a while. Without these old friends, it feels a lot more deserted. Old man Zhang can think about it, so he thinks he is here to escape the summer, and others can't enjoy this treatment when they spend money!

His summer vacation is really not short.

When the sow is fed, it is easy to gain weight. But if you want to lose weight, you really have to be a little patient. The concentrate feed has been gradually reduced to half of its original size, and some potato vines are cut from the sweet potato fields every day to add to it as green fodder. It took almost a few months for these sows to look a little slimmer and fitter. In fact, the weight of the pig is still increasing, and it is already two hundred and fifty or sixty pounds, because it is a little bigger than before. But there are still no signs of estrus! If this continues, it will have to be sold as a pig. The investment was not worth it.

Originally, Zhang Shuyue suggested that Ren Feng buy one or two sows in heat to mix and promote other sows to estrus. But how can this sow in heat be so easy to buy? There are not many sows themselves, and if it is a sow that is in heat at this time, it is too difficult to find, even if someone is not willing to sell!

Old man Zhang couldn't wait and decided to try an aphrodisiac injection. He selected two active, well-built sows, grabbed the pigs' ears, and pricked each pig's neck with a needle.

After three days, both pigs began to be in heat. The big guy is finally relieved, at least these pigs are not bad! Now it's time to see what happens and whether the wild boar can arrive.

During this time, the bamboo one-way pig passage has been built, and several sets of infrared cameras have been installed in the pig house for real-time monitoring.

The activity time of wild boars is at night, and it is even after midnight to Panlongling, so the monitoring of this time point is very important. After all, Zhang Shuyue is old and can't stay up late, so he generally doesn't participate in monitoring, and only comes down to take a look when he wakes up in the middle of the night and can't sleep. Kang **** is a girl, everyone still takes care of her, she and Ren Feng are on duty in rotation before 11 o'clock, and Li Yunzhe and Xie Liang take turns after 11 o'clock. During this time, everyone worked hard, and there was nothing they could do. Ren Feng himself has to take care of things in the tea field even harder, but after he has mastered his boxing skills, he has less and less time to sleep, and he doesn't feel tired.

In the first two days, there was no movement at all, not to mention seeing wild boars, even if you wanted to hear the sound of wild boars, no wild boars came at all. However, I have seen a few hares burrow into the fences to feed, and these fences are after all to protect against wild boars, and I did not think about isolating the hares.

And over time, the rest of the sows in the herd began to come into heat. Every day these sows are very active, howling, excited, and declining appetite, and arching everywhere as soon as they are placed outside the barn, especially attacking the fence, and they are not very scrupulous about the steel barbs on the fence. This made everyone nervous again, and before the wild boars were invited, these sows broke through the fence and escaped.

Zhang Shuyue told everyone not to worry, saying that this is a normal situation, check the fence during the day, and just reinforce the place that should be reinforced, and it will not fall down at night or two.

By the third day, the estrus period of the two sows who had been injected with aphrodisiac injections was almost over, and everyone couldn't help but worry that this cycle was estimated to be hopeless. As a result, in the middle of the night, the figure of a wild boar was heard in the surveillance video.

Xie Liang was on duty to monitor this day, and it was more than 2 o'clock in the morning, which was also the most sleepy time, he thought that today he would probably stay in vain all night like before, and he wanted to sleep on his stomach for a while. It turned out that the sow herd suddenly became restless, howling and running around excitedly. At first, Xie Liang thought that someone had the audacity to steal pigs, because this situation had never happened. Carefully controlling several cameras to search around, but I was pleasantly surprised.

There were a few black things swimming on the outside of the fence, and it was clear that they were wild boars, and there was more than one wild boar coming. The boar spun around outside the fence, tried to arch the fence with its nose, and was pricked by the small bars on it before retreating, and continued to wander restlessly. After a while, he continued to come and tempt again.

Xie Liang's sleepiness was gone, he was nervous, and his eyes were staring at the screen with his eyes wide open, for fear of missing a detail.

The sow inside the fence also rubbed her nose excitedly against the fence, and only took a small step back when she was stabbed by the steel bar, shook her head and breathed, and then raised her head to howl outside.

The wild boars outside responded excitedly, and tried around even more uneasily, trying to find a place to enter.

Xie Liang couldn't help but be anxious for these wild boars, the few one-way wild boar passages they left on the fence seemed to be too "remote", these wild boars just couldn't find them, maybe these wild boar sperm insects were on the brain, too confused. Xie Liang couldn't help muttering: "What a bunch of stupid pigs!" So why can't you find a conspicuous location! He didn't think that the wild boars didn't take such a path, how did he know that these were specially set up for them by humans.

Just when he was in a hurry, he heard a knock on the door, and another voice shouted: "Xie Liang! Xie Liang! ”。 To be honest, it's a bit scary. It was so late, it was pitch black outside, and he was engrossed in staring at the monitoring screen, and he was startled when he heard this voice.

He got up and opened the door, and when he saw Kang **** standing outside, he asked in surprise: "You don't sleep in the dormitory in the middle of the night, why are you running here?" ”

Kang **** walked in and said: "I don't know why I can't sleep tonight, I have a hunch that there should be wild boars coming to the pig farm today, so come and have a look." Otherwise, you go and rest tonight, I'll be on duty! ”

Xie Liang heard her say this, and muttered in his heart: A woman's intuition is so terrifying. But what came out was: "Sure enough, it's a pig farmer, and you can even guess this!" ”

Kang **** just thought about this possibility, he didn't think that his intuition was really so accurate, listening to Xie Liang say this, he took two steps and pounced on the monitoring platform in one step, and saw a wild boar burrowing into the fence from the passage. She jumped up excitedly, turned around and patted Xie Liang on the shoulder, and shouted, "There is a wild boar!" Caught a wild boar! Hahaha! ”

Poor Xie Liang was frightened a few times this night, and his nerves were in danger of bursting, far from the surprise he had when he first saw the wild boar.

When Kang ****'s excitement passed a little, the two huddled together and stared at the monitoring screen.

A few wild boars have already come in, smaller than the sows. These wild boars are completely different from domestic pigs, the front body is thick and strong, the head accounts for more than one-third, the back half of the body appears small, and the back line from head to tail is a small rise and then a gentle downward curve, which is different from the curve of domestic pigs all the way up. This body shape is fierce and strong, and with the addition of two long and curved fangs in the mouth, it sticks out of the mouth, like two scimitars, which makes people even more worried, and ordinary people really have to retreat when they encounter wild boars.

Wild boars also have long and straight beaks, not as short and soft as domestic pigs, which makes them more powerful and easy to dig for roots and tubers underground. The mane on the back of a wild boar is longer and thicker than that of a domestic pig, and it stands in a majestic manner.

Xie and Kang also saw a live wild boar for the first time, and couldn't help but be a little amazed: Sure enough, it is not exactly the same species as domestication!

When the wild boar enters the pigsty, it sniffs and makes a short cry at the sow in heat. After a while, they began to climb across the behavior and were about to mate.

Kang **** suddenly regretted coming here in the middle of the night, and the excitement just now completely turned into embarrassment and shyness. And Xie Liang is not much better, it is nothing to watch these alone, a man and a woman are alone in a room in the middle of the night, and they are watching this kind of content, it is strange to be able to calm down.

Kang **** blushed and said: "The wild boar also saw it, so I will go back to the dormitory first!" After saying that, he left the monitoring room.

Xie Liang's face was also red to the root of his ears, he didn't dare to speak, he didn't dare to come out, and he secretly breathed a sigh of relief when Kang **** went out. Looking at the scene on the monitoring screen, I don't know where to go.

The next day, everyone knew about the arrival of the wild boar. Zhang Shuyue, Ren Feng and others all went to the pig house to observe the wild boar up close.

The boars were not so frightened as they were at night, wandering around uneasily, looking nervously and hostilely at the humans, and some even tried to jump up and attack them. There is nothing gentle to say about those sows, biting and chasing.

Zhang Shuyue saw this posture, things were going to develop in a bad direction, and quickly asked Ren Feng to find a way to open the door and let these wild boars go back, otherwise there would be chaos.

But in this way, who dares to open the fence gate? Now these wild boars are not docile pets, and if they don't get it right, they will hurt people! And how can you guarantee that the domestic sows will not go with them?

It's really confusing! Some ideas seem to be very good, but when they are really implemented, they often find a lot of loopholes, and the follow-up troubles are constant.

At such a time, there is no room for further meetings and discussions, so we need to think carefully and think again. Ren Feng asked Aunt Huang, who was in charge of feeding the pigs, to bring pig food over, first throw it into the pig trough, and try to lead the pigs to the pig house.

And the difficult task of opening the fence gate is only to go into battle yourself. He believed that with his own skills, it would be okay to just avoid the impact of wild boars.

He carefully walked around the outside to the position of the fence door, carefully opened the door, and quickly flashed to the side.

When the wild boar saw an exit, a swarm rushed out, and several sows in panic escaped with the wild boar. Ren Feng didn't dare to stop it, and it was estimated that he couldn't stop it. After the wild boars came out, Ren Feng hurriedly went over and closed the door.

In the last count, three sows escaped. It is still not clear whether the sows in the pig house can conceive, but two of them are not in heat at all, they should be sick, and they are not suitable for breeding as sows, so they have to be disposed of.

Ren Feng asked Zhang Shuyue if he wanted to breed again, and Zhang Shuyue said that he would wait until he saw the results, so it was not a way to toss, and he had to find a way to improve this measure.

Fortunately, there were 12 sows that were successfully mated in the end, and three failed to match, Zhang Shuyue suggested that it was better to breed and raise domestic pigs, and then you can compare the advantages and disadvantages of the two kinds of pigs.
