Chapter 49 The sow does not come into heat

The data collected at the mine site needs to be sorted out, and even some of the data has to be surveyed on the site again. And Cao Zhengyang and Ren Feng still have a very shallow understanding of this aspect, and they have to come up with a preliminary plan first, so that everyone can discuss this matter and improve the plan together. It will take a week for these things to be sorted out, so we will make an appointment to have a meeting in a week to discuss this together.

During this period, Professor Shen and Fang Xiao both stayed in Renjiazhuang. In fact, they also have some ideas about this project, but it will not work from the professional perspective of ecological restoration, and they have to listen to the judgment of professionals such as He Tianqi. Zhang Shuyue and Shi Hui, two old experts, are also on the farm, and now they are grabbing the double robbery, and they also want to see how the harvest of the rice field is, analyze the data, summarize the lessons and lessons, and achieve better results in the later work.

In the paddy field, the employees are in full swing to harvest the early rice, and the bottom fertilizer is applied to the field and the late rice seedlings are inserted. The fish, turtles, shrimps, crabs, and other fish in the rice fields have been transferred to the good field, and those that can be caught have also been caught. Since there was no promotion before, and there was no own brand, the selling price was average. The yield is okay, 120 acres of 150 acres of paddy fields are mature varieties, and the rest are summer flower seedlings. A total of 6 tons of various types of adult fish, 600 kilograms, 200 kilograms of shrimp, 400 kilograms of crabs, excluding gifts, the total sales income is almost 100,000 yuan. The summer flower seedlings are directly transferred to the fish pond for further cultivation or dispersed to the paddy fields after the seedlings are planted in the late rice.

The yield of the harvested rice has reached 550 kilograms per mu, far exceeding the original maximum yield of 400 kilograms per mu. After all, it is a terraced field in the mountains, the sunshine is still worse than the plain area, and the soil itself is not fertile enough, although the villagers here used to work hard, but they do not know how to fertilize according to local conditions, coupled with weeds and pests and diseases, the yield of 400 kilograms per mu is already thankful.

However, the first season of rice planting in Lufeng Ecology made many old people who had planted the land all their lives unbelievable. and I do not see that he fertilizes more than others, but much less; I don't see how many pesticides he used, in fact, he basically didn't use them much; I didn't see how diligent his employees were, and they were tidying up the fields every day, but they basically didn't care about planting seedlings, and there were very few things like weeding and sprinkling pesticides. But the yield is so high, really, everyone has seen it. Not only that, but the rice fields can also raise fish, shrimp, turtles, and crabs, and the output is not old or young! The local villagers who came to work in Lufeng Ecology are completely convinced, this kid is not simple!

But Shi Hui was still not satisfied, and felt that many links were still not well controlled. According to the "Shanyou" hybrid rice variety he selected, the yield per mu should reach about 700 kilograms, and there is still a lot of potential to be tapped. He asked Xie Liang to find all the work records, analyze them one by one, and not let go of any detail, and strive to reach a higher level in the next season.

Ren Feng himself is already quite satisfied with this result, after all, it is the first season, and the preparation in all aspects is not sufficient, according to this output, the output value of rice alone is almost 150,000, which is not low. The rice planting cost of Lufeng Ecology is about 300 yuan per mu of field, most of which is labor cost, and the state subsidy has more than 200 yuan per mu, which is about 100 yuan per season, that is, the actual cost is only 200 yuan per mu. In this way, the profit of early rice in a single season is about 120,000.

With such high profits, why did Ren Yuan leave these lands unplanted? He can't do it! If you farm in the traditional way, many people are reluctant to purchase agricultural machinery, and the cost of renting agricultural machinery is relatively higher, more than 120 yuan per mu than self-purchased machinery, and the cost of pure artificial planting is higher. The amount of fertilizers and pesticides is also much larger, and the cost is at least more than 100 yuan per mu. However, the average yield per mu will not exceed 380 kg, and the output value of one crop of rice per mu is less than 700 yuan, but the cost is 500 to 600 yuan. After planting a season of rice, the profit of 150 acres of land is less than 30,000 yuan, and I don't know how much to worry about, which is far less easy than the more than 30,000 yuan subsidized by the state! Therefore, he basically did not produce the land when he contracted it, took the state subsidy for nothing, and was happy and happy!

For simple grain growers, 100 acres of fields are indeed too few, especially this kind of mountain terraces. Of course, Ren Feng is not a simple grain grower, his Green Peak ecology still has a lot of business, such as the seedling farm, now the annual output value is four or five hundred thousand, and the income of chicken farms and fish ponds has no statistics for reference, but it will not be low. Only the pig farm is still a little troublesome, and there is no output just by investing money.

After the early rice transplanting, 20 sows about 5 months old were bought and raised on the pig farm. These pigs are put outdoors in the yard for a few hours a day, which is different from normal captivity. Now these sows are big and adapted to the environment here. However, they are not capable of estrus at all! This is a sow, which is used to breed piglets, not in heat, how to breed?

Ren Feng didn't know much about this matter, and he had too many things to do, so he didn't pay much attention to it. And the breeding department is mainly managed by Kang ****, a girl's family, this matter is not embarrassed to say, every day to go to the pig farm to see, secretly anxious. Fortunately, Zhang Shuyue came!

Aunt Gao, the breeder invited from the village, raised the pigs to be fat and strong, with shiny coats, and she was full of joy when she looked at it, looking forward to being praised. When Zhang Gong went to the pig farm to walk around, she was busy stepping forward to show her skills: "Mr. Zhang, you see that my pig is raising well, fat!" It's not that I'm bragging, no one in the entire Renjiazhuang has raised pigs as well as me! ”

But seeing that the old man Zhang frowned slightly, he made an expression of crying and laughing: "This pig is fat, if it is sold as a pig, there is really nothing to say!" However, this is a sow, and it is to raise cubs, and it is not necessarily good to raise too fat! ”

Aunt Huang used to raise pigs at home, but she was raised until the Chinese New Year and killed and eaten, and she never raised sows, so she didn't know that she was so particular. didn't wait for the expected praise, but had the meaning of blame, and he was a little depressed in his heart, and he didn't pay attention to Zhang Gong and went to his own business.

Zhang Shuyue didn't really blame her, so he had to come to Kang ****: "How many times have these sows been in estrus?" ”

Kang **** blushed and said in a low voice: "I haven't found it yet." ”

Zhang Shuyue didn't seem to pay attention to her performance, and said to himself: "I guess it's the same, so fat, it's too much!" It's so fat! ”

Kang **** lowered his head and remained silent.

Zhang Shuyue asked again: "The sow must be bred before pregnancy, where is the boar?" ”

Kang **** whispered: "The boar is a wild boar, and it hasn't been caught yet." ”

"Then we have to catch it!" Zhang Shuyue was surprised and said, "How are you going to catch it?" ”

Kang **** also knows too well how to catch wild boars, and Ai Ai can't answer during the period.

Seeing this situation, Zhang Shuyue knew that just asking her was not a solution, so he took her to find Ren Feng here, and it happened that Shen Yi and Fang Xiao were there.

Zhang Shuyue said that the sow does not estrus. The main reason for the analysis is that it is too fat, a large amount of fat is deposited around the ovaries, and the fat inside the ovaries is infiltrated, which seriously affects ovulation and estrus. Secondly, the weather is too hot, the branches and leaves planted outside the pig house have not yet grown, and they do not play much shading role, so it is best not to drive the pigs outside during the day. The third is the lack of hormone guidance, this group of pigs are all sows, there are no boars, there is no stimulation of hormones of the opposite sex, and it is not conducive to the estrus of sows.

Ren Feng, Fang Xiao and others didn't know much about these problems, so they asked Zhang Shuyue how to solve them.

This time, Lao Zhang didn't take the initiative to say it, but asked Kang **** to talk about his thoughts first.

Kang **** was still very embarrassed, and he didn't know how to speak. Fang Xiao encouraged her to answer the teacher's questions in class, there was nothing to be embarrassed about.

With Fang Xiao's words, Kang **** finally mustered up the courage and said: "The sow is too fat because the feed is too fine and overfed, as long as the feeding is reduced, the proportion of roughage and green feed is appropriately increased, and it can be fattened!" ”

Ren Feng and the others listened to her carefully, and Zhang Shuyue also nodded lightly.

Seeing everyone's encouraging eyes, Kang ****'s voice gradually became louder: "The temperature is high, try to let the sow stay in the pig house, and rinse the pig house with cold water every day to cool it down." You can release it out at night for activities, but it is more troublesome to manage. ”

Everyone didn't speak, waiting for her to continue.

Kang **** was also a little embarrassed about the third point, and said: "Wild boars should be used for breeding pigs, and it is not suitable to buy a breeding boar." You can't do without boars, but wild boars are not easy to catch. I don't know if I can take hormones? ”

Zhang Shuyue gave her an appreciative look and said: "What Xiaohui said is basically right, in fact, I found that this problem can be boldly raised, and there is nothing to be embarrassed about about work!" You can take care of the sow's weight loss, control the amount of feeding, add green fodder, and you can cut some sweet potato vines and chop them for feeding. The weather is hot, and the activities will not be released during the day, and the cooling work of the pig house must be done well, and the ventilation and water cooling must be done well!

Put all the pigs in the outside yard at night, and people don't have to worry about it, and some wild boars don't dare to come! It is best for Xiaofeng to spend money to buy a sow that is in heat and mix them together, first, to guide these sows to estrus, and second, to see if he can seduce one or two male wild boars over. ”

Ren Feng actually had a plan earlier, thinking about waiting for the sow to come into heat and seduce the male wild boar, when the time comes, it will be easy for the wild boar to come in, but it will be difficult to get out. This is Ren Feng's idea based on a tool used to catch yellow eels, which is to use bamboo strips to bend into a conical hole like a barb, and it is easy to drill from the convex surface of the bamboo strip to the other side, because the bamboo has good elasticity and can easily pass. But it is difficult to get out from the other side, because there is no gap, and the original position of the hole is a bamboo strip that protrudes straight out. He wanted to make a few of these one-way openings in the fence, but of course the bamboo strips were much wider. When the time comes, if the boar gets in, all you have to do is wait for people to open the door and let it go.

He told Fang Xiao about this idea, and Fang Xiao also thought it was feasible, but he hadn't tried it yet, and he didn't know if it would work. So I brought it up this time and listened to everyone's thoughts.

Zhang Shuyue thought about it for a long time, but still had some doubts about this idea, he said: "The nose of the wild boar is very powerful, the trees on the mountain can be arched down, and the fence is pierced with wire thorns so that it is not damaged by it, can the bamboo strip deal with it?" ”

Ren Feng and the others don't know, no one can say for sure if they haven't tried this thing. In the end, I decided to give it a try, in case it didn't work, I might lose a few sows. However, I heard that many "elopement" sows will run back by themselves after giving birth to piglets, so it is not a loss.

Zhang Shuyue mentioned again that wild boars themselves are very afraid of people and are generally far away from the places where people move, so the pig farm should try not to have people at night to create a better dating environment for them.

Ren Feng thinks it's no problem, just install a set of infrared camera monitoring, and when the time comes, you can monitor remotely and in real time, so that everything is under control.

PS: I don't know if there are any book friends who are farming or raising pigs who read this book, and I don't know if the data and content of this chapter are consistent with reality?
