Chapter 86: Atavism

"Did you find the specific reason? If it can be mass-produced and popularized, it will be a great thing for the whole of the United States, and maybe the Nobel Prize will not be far from everyone," Ji Xin expressed his close attention to the research progress according to the script. &{}. {}.}

At this time, the faces of the people who were still honored with the honor fell, and Ma Aier chirped, "Not yet, the forage mutation is very special, and it is difficult to find it in the early childhood." In particular, this recessive mutation, although the nutritional composition has been changed, and at the same time, all aspects have also been greatly improved, but the appearance is almost no different from ordinary alfalfa. In fact, if it weren't for the sudden interest of the slaughtered herd in the grass that they don't eat, we would have been a few days later to find out. ”

Ji Xin looked at the researchers who lowered their heads and shrugged, it was so simple to achieve great achievements. However, Maair's honesty is still commendable, so he does not encourage himself very much, "But it is a good thing that there is a change now, a pool of stagnant water does not provide much data, maybe it is caused by the heavy snow cover in the past few days, you can try to test it"

"Yes, heavy snow is a very likely factor. Fortunately, out of an abundance of caution, we kept the sample, and we didn't find anything at the time, and now it seems that we have to re-test" Maair's eyes lit up and he spoke faster and faster.

Looking at the experts and scholars who were in a daze, Ji Xin didn't pay attention to it, they would leave after they woke up. Turning back to Thomas, he asked, "Let's talk about something useful!" Have you found the forage habit? ”

"Of course, the Great Smoky Mountains forage grass has been trademarked, and after professional testing, they are highly nutritious and high in protein, comparable to the king of forages. According to the calculation, one year of planting can be used for more than 10 years, harvested 5~6 times a year, and the yield of fresh grass per mu is 6000~8000 kg, which is suitable for all kinds of livestock to eat. It can be fed green, mixed with grass forage, silage is a good feed for cattle and sheep and other animals to overwinter. It can also be used to dry hay, prepare grass powder, replace part of the concentrate or make compound feed, green feed to prevent cattle and sheep swelling disease" Thomas's old face also turned red.

In the end, Thomas quietly glanced at the people next to him and whispered, "The key is that the cattle that eat our pasture will have better meat quality, and some excellent breeds can almost reach the second-class beef standard." Ji, my suggestion is to hold off on the sale of forage, which is a huge first-mover advantage. ”

"Such a huge improvement in meat quality? And doesn't it mean that a cow will only be slaughtered before it is slaughtered for meat inspection? Ji Xin Zou frowned, he didn't expect Thomas to make such a suggestion.

Obviously, Comrade Lao Tuo also knew Ji Xin's thoughts, and simply explained, "Of course, boss, it is impossible for us to slaughter calves now, they are still too young, God, no qualified rancher will kill chickens and take eggs." But Ji, you should trust the experience and intuition of an old cowboy, we brought in ordinary Angus cattle, but in less than three months, this batch of calves grew at an amazing rate, close to 400 pounds, you know what that means? ”

"Yes, Thomas, this shows that the Great Smoky Mountain Ranch is going to give birth to a new record, a new breed of cattle" Ji Xin followed the old man's words, he felt that if he dared to say a word at this moment, Thomas, who was dominated by cowboy personality, would spray himself with dog blood.

However, it is also true that the Angus cow is a frequent guest on the menu of the old American restaurant, and it is also called the hornless black cow because of its black coat and hornless characteristics. Angus cattle adult bulls have an average live weight of 700-900 kg and cows 500-600 kg, and are generally slaughtered in about 12 months, while beef cattle in the Great Smoky Mountains Ranch will obviously be slaughtered faster to seize the market.

Thomas took a sip of wine before he said with satisfaction, "According to experience, our herd of cattle can face the restaurant in four to five months, and the meat yield is not clear for the time being, but I can guarantee that their quality will be greatly improved, and a small number of them may even enter the second special grade." ”

"Hmm, that means we're not far behind the Japanese Kobe cows?" Ji Xin didn't know too well about the grade of beef, and Thomas was also responsible for expanding the scale of breeding in the ranch. However, the Japanese fucking cow is still famous at home and abroad, and it is said that the workers almost served the cow as if it were their ancestors, played music, and served beer......

Thomas's smug expression was a little more restrained, if he didn't know that Ji Xin's knowledge of this aspect was stronger than that of illiterate, he would have suspected that this guy was deliberate. The old man was a little depressed and said, "Kobe beef is the best Wagyu beef in Japan, and it is also recognized by the world and has endured. We are still a little far behind. I'm afraid that only the Red Angus cattle, the ancestor of the Angus cattle, can compete with them. ”

Speaking of which, the self-proclaimed Americans who strive to be the boss of everything are very unhappy about this matter. As a big cattle producing country, and citizens are also keen on beef food, but the world's best cattle breeds are no longer in their own hands, and they need to spend a high price to buy, that is, Japan is more peaceful when it is a little brother, and world peace is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, otherwise some radicals may be clamoring to eliminate the Sun Country.

Another thing that saddened the Americans was that the Red Angus cattle introduced at the beginning and the local horned black cattle were unexpectedly pregnant, and the hornless black cattle were born, which is now the Aberdeen Angus black cattle. And because of the relationship between genes, after a long period of inbreeding, the Angus black cattle with more vigorous color genes have overturned the red Angus cattle and become the mainstream faction.

Nowadays, Red Angus cattle with delicate meat are relatively rare. The Red Angus cattle of origin are nowhere to be seen due to the lack of protection, and can probably only be remembered in video tapes or historical documents.

Ji Xin ignored Thomas's black face and said the truth: "So in other words, the top beef market is almost Kobe beef, covering the sky with one hand?" It's also incredible. Isn't it true that Europe and Australia also have a long history of cattle breeding? Aren't many high-end restaurants often soliciting business under their signs? ”

The old man seemed to have lost face, and he was also anxious to drag the other friends into the water. "At present, through a variety of new technologies, most of the pedigree optimization can only be classified as optional meat quality, and a small number of such as Australian Wagyu, Scottish Highland cattle and some calf breeds can belong to the second echelon. If the Great Smoky Mountains Ranch cattle can pass the test, they are basically in these two grades. ”

"Isn't this just a super power? It's quite similar to the international situation" Ji Xin's mind opened, and he felt that since so many breeds couldn't do Kobe cattle, there was no need for him to be too entangled. And Thomas thought that the grass played a role in improving the meat quality, but Ji Xin knew very well in his heart that it must be the space water that made the Angus black cattle appear atavistic, and even persistently restored the original brilliance. However, the old cowboy's ability is not covered, and this can be discovered by experience.
