"Hey, two more cows have mastitis." Neil walked over from the automatic milker, shaking his head slightly and grumbling. Now that the weather is getting hotter, there are many cows suffering from heat stroke and sick cows, so the cleanliness of the pasture is very important.

Even if Wang Hao and Little Susan want to enter the milking room, they must be disinfected so as not to infect these cows. In order to ensure that the cow's tail is not contaminated, many cows' tails are cut short, so that they will not be swept to the cow's tail, and the filth on the cow's tail will not be polluted. Automated milking equipment and a clean living environment not only ensure the quality of the milk, but also reduce the chance of mastitis in the cows

In the pasture, cows that unfortunately suffer from mastitis do not take antibiotics lightly, and must stop milking for a month after taking antibiotics. These measures are overseen by the Victorian Dairy Safety Authority, one of the strictest in the world.

After Wang Hao heard Neil's words, he couldn't help but shake his head, he didn't want these cows to waste milk in vain. Even if he was suffering from mastitis, Neil and the others still had to express its milk, but the milk was no longer drinkable, and could only be poured out, not even for the calf.

"The illness rate has been a bit high recently, what the hell is going on?" Wang Hao frowned slightly, eight cows have been suffering from mastitis during this time, after all, the area of the golden pasture is not large, and the number of these cows is very important.

Neil spread his hands: "Who knows! I guess it was when we usually ate grass, and we cleaned the barn every day. Even the places where they eat grass and exercise are disinfected many times. I guess it's too hot for us to turn on the air conditioning for these cows. ”

In the Golden Ranch, except for the living area that can enjoy air conditioning in summer, only the fattening barn and alpaca shed for beef cattle have air conditioning, and the rest of the places have fans at most. After all, those animals don't stay in the shed all the time, and if the temperature difference is too large, it will cause greater danger.

Wang Hao said to Neil: "Anyway, let's pay attention to disinfection and the environment, and try not to let the calf drink milk directly, so as not to get infected if the calf's mouth is not clean." ”

I don't know when Katie appeared behind the two of them, wearing shorts and a white tight tank top, she smiled and said, "In my opinion." Or in the diet nutrition should pay attention to balance. According to the feeding standard, adequate vitamins should be provided in the diet, especially vitamin A, vitamin D, and vitamin E, and rich in macroelements and trace elements. And you shouldn't keep so many cows, calves together. It's easy to get some dirty stuff when you're playing. Of course. The sick cows have been isolated in solitary condition. They are not allowed to cross-contag. ”

After all, Katie has a veterinarian dad who has studied herself, even if she is inexperienced. is also quite solid in theory, so Wang Hao nodded and said: "Then Katie, I'll work hard for you, you can help cooperate, and the entire ranch will depend on you." ”

Katie, who looked excited, nodded hurriedly, she didn't want to just be a housekeeper with housework, managing the entire ranch was her wish, although she was a little tired, but it meant that she was useful.

Wang Hao looked at little Susan, who was squatting with Luna, who was using her little hands to attach the milking device to the cow's **, and watched curiously as the milky white milk flowed through the guò pipe into the sealed bucket.

The cows that are milked here are all in the lactation period, during which the cows have abundant milk, and outside of the 9-month lactation period, they are well rested. Each cow has a number and a computer chip on its ear, and when it passes through the machine, the farm can scan the chip to get the milk yield and other numbers of each cow per day. After milking, the cow walks out of a special tunnel, and the scanner mounted on the wall can calculate today's milk production according to the computer chip on the cow's ear, so as to match the amount of feed tomorrow, which is different for each cow.

As he spoke, the milk filling truck came. The milk canning trucks used in the farm are all refrigerated trucks, and the milk trucks are thoroughly cleaned every day before and after the milk is transported, and they look shiny. When the milk truck arrives, it is necessary to wait for the milking to be completely finished before filling the milk. After milking the regular cows and cleaning the milking equipment, the cowboys also milk the cows that have just given birth to calves, and these milks are stored separately, which is the precious colostrum.

Once the milking room is cleaned, the driver of the milk truck gets to work. The driver first pulls out the transport pipe of the milk filling truck, connects it to the milk storage tank, then observes the milk volume in the milk storage tank through the ruler in the guò milk storage tank, and then takes out the sample bottle in the refrigerator of the milk truck and samples the milk. The entire transportation process is refrigerated to ensure that the milk is a fully sealed cold chain from the moment it is expressed. Only when these transport and storage conditions are met can the milk be made into pasteurized milk.

"Uncle! The milk is all milked, so what do the calves eat? Susan looked curiously at the calf calf that was being circled not far away, and she was very curious about the question.

Wang Hao pointed to the bucket with pacifiers not far away and said, "The calves drink milk there, and the milked milk is not all sold, but given to these calves." ”

Susan nodded as if she didn't understand, and she and Wang Hao walked towards the calf, these little ones who were just a month or two old looked like deer. Perhaps feeling the rich natural breath on Wang Hao's body, the little calves stretched out their pink tongues to his side and licked his palms, like a few months old baby.

"Huh! They love you! Susan said in surprise, and she also stretched out her small palm, but the calf paid no attention, which hurt her quite a bit.

In fact, calves only need about 11 litres of milk per day, while cows can produce 3o litres of milk per day, so there is no need to worry about cows sucking up milk and calves going hungry. The more milking, the more milk is produced, and these calves simply can't eat it. After each milking, a portion of the milk is released to feed the calves.

At this point, the calves can finally start feeding. Workers pour milk for calves into a special vat with rubber pacifiers around them, and the calves scramble to get close to the pacifiers to suck milk, crackling and cheerful expressions.

After throwing little Susan to Luna, Wang Hao walked alone towards the sick cows, which were isolated by a separate fence, and these cows had a relatively small space to move around, looking sick and lifeless.

Wang Hao looked at it, and now that there was no one around, he walked over, gently stroked the forehead of the nipple through the fence, and then threw the druid's skill "Little Healing" over, he was not sure that his apprentice druid's skill would take effect, so let's just try.

For a druid, working with animals is a must-have skill, as they rely on their animal friends a lot of the time. It's a pity that Wang Hao's druid inheritance is not too detailed, and he is only using the magic power of the heart of nature for casual use.

After spending a few minutes casting skills on these cows, he still had more than half of the magic power left in his body, and how to squander it was still a small problem. (To be continued......)
