Chloesy had worked here for a while, in charge of miniature livestock breeding and medicine, so she was familiar with it. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

"Actually, Chief," she says, "if you can, I'd suggest you keep more miniature livestock. In the case of this miniature donkey, they eat less than the average donkey, but the corresponding input-output ratio is higher. ”

"In other words, the same 100 kilograms of pasture are fed, and the mini donkey grows faster and more meat than a normal donkey." Creed added.

Wang Bo looked at him in surprise: "My God, you breed these small animals for food?" ”

Creed also looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you?" ”

Wang Bo shook his head and said: "No, I want to use them for tourism, I want them to live, and then show them to tourists." ”

Creed suddenly laughed: "Very good, very good, then I decided that we can do this deal, you can choose, whatever you want." ”

Wang Bo was a little confused by him: "What do you mean?" ”

"It's very simple, I don't want to sell their varieties to those meat farms, I don't study these varieties to slaughter and sell meat!" ”

As he spoke, he put his arm around Wang Bo's shoulders intimately: "Kou Qian called me and told me about this problem, but I don't trust you very much, so it's better to hear it with my own ears." ”

Wang Bo: "......"

The city routine is deep, and the routine in this wilderness area is even deeper, that is, selling a cow, sheep and pig, this guy can even use the skills of clichés, and he is absolutely mentally abnormal.

However, for many meat farms, it is also a good choice to breed this small beast now, and the current market is sluggish, feed prices have risen sharply, and ranchers need to live on a budget.

Wang Bo asked, "If you don't want to supply these livestock to pastures, then it's not worth you to study them, right?" Isn't the cultivation of cattle, sheep and pigs mainly for meat? ”

Creed said seriously: "Of course not, they can be our companions, since you can have a big dog as a pet, why can't you have a horse or a goat?" ”

Bowen smiled, which is really a good question: "I think there are a lot of horses as pets, but the cost is too high to restrict the promotion of this kind of pet, as for goats?" What do you do with goats as pets? Fattened up shabu-shabu to eat? ”

This irritated Creed, who glared at Bowen and said, "Animals are good friends of humans, we can't just think about eating them!" ”

Wang Bo saw that the rancher was excited, and quickly signaled Bowen to shut up, but don't stimulate him, he felt that the rancher had a mental problem.

Mini livestock have long been promoted in New Zealand, and people have realized that bigger livestock is not always better, for example, in China, when pigs are slaughtered, they are not raised to the maximum, but raised to a critical point, and then pigs eat more but grow less meat.

In the '50s and '60s, New Zealand farmers didn't think much about the input-to-output ratio of cattle.

At that time, the price of feed was low, and there was a lot of pasture, so farmers could graze as much as they wanted, so that the cattle and sheep could grow as much as they wanted, and get as much meat as possible from each cow.

Now the situation is different, and the rancher must first consider the input-output ratio.

When Wang Bo was preparing to breed these animals, he paid attention to this problem.

For example, the mini zebu cattle he is breeding now are actually more economically valuable than normal zebu cattle.

Mini zebu cows can only grow to the height of normal cow legs, but they weigh a lot of weight, between 227 kg and 318 kg, which is almost a third of normal cattle.

However, they eat only a quarter or less of the average cattle, which means higher meat production.

With this advantage, the promotion of mini animal breeding is not carried out well.

These miniature cattle and sheep are so small that the farm has to work a lot of extra work to raise them.

For example, ordinary farm fences simply can't stop them, so the owner needs to infill the fence. In addition, it is not easy to buy collars that are the right size for them.

In addition, the smaller the animal, the worse the immune resistance, these calves and lambs are more likely to get sick, and New Zealand strictly controls the use of animal drugs, and domestic animals are not easy to solve.

After the introduction of the miniature donkey, there are many animal breeds in captivity in other fences.

There are several miniature cattle here, such as miniature racing, miniature dexter, miniature longhorn, and so on.

These animals are also found in many countries in the world, and they are different from Niuniu, they are not dwarfs or variants, but they are already existing breeds, but they have not been popularized because of their ability to produce meat.

There is also a beautiful black and white calf in Creed's pasture, which Wang Bo has seen for the first time, and he has not seen it before when he searched on the Internet.

The others were also amazed when they watched, and Creed said proudly: "This is a new type of mini cow that I have cultivated, and I named it the Panda Cow." ”

"You know pandas, right? China's national treasure, a very popular animal, I hope that this cow, like the panda, will become a popular pet in the family. ”

Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Man, I admit that you are a genius, but it is difficult for families to raise cattle and sheep as pets. ”

Creed argued, "Why? Why do people like to have cats and dogs? And not because they're small? The domestic animals I have researched are also small in size and eat very little, which are also suitable for pets. ”

Wang Bo doesn't argue with him, he won't use it as a pet anyway.

In addition to cattle and donkeys, the ranch has miniature sheep named Nigerian dwarf goats.

Knee-high when adult, the sheep are descended from West African goats and were originally brought to the United States on ships as a meal for big cats in zoos.

Later, the goats were bred and smaller breeds were selected to be used as pets.

Wang Bo is most interested in miniature horses, and the ranch's stables have newborn ponies who live in what resembles a children's isolation room, where someone is dedicated to feeding them.

These cubs are very small, similar to puppies, Wang Bo feels that he has arrived in the country of dwarves, why is everything one size smaller?

"This is, Falabella Pony?" Peterson asked in surprise.

Wang Bo gave him an inquiring look, and Peterson introduced: "Farabella is the smallest pony in the world, and it grows to seventy centimeters or even shorter when it reaches adulthood. ”

"This horse has a light and elegant body, smooth and silky skin, bright coat color, and a gentle temperament, and can get along with children, and is known as the most perfect pet among horses."

"You don't need a horse farm to breed these horses, but they're expensive, and those who can breed them can afford a horse farm, and the most precious gift that President John F. Kennedy received when he visited Argentina in 1963 was a pure-blooded Farabella pony."
