Chapter 129: Forage
Let's take one step at a time, at present, it is better to check whether the grizzly bear ranch has also been visited by termites, this is the most important thing, Li Cheng does not want to live in a villa eaten by termites, and many expensive furniture will be affected.
The Eskimos are all here, and they are now able to converse in fluent English, so they don't have to worry about the time of intermediate translators and are better able to integrate into the pasture.
"Hello everyone, hard work, this time let everyone rush back is an important thing to announce, it is currently the time of high incidence of termite activity, when I inspected the Liuhua Ranch, it happened that the buildings there were seriously infested by termites, 80% of the buildings were affected, you also know that most of our ranches are wooden houses, so to reduce losses, from now on, we must comprehensively inspect every inch of the building, and thoroughly check all the buildings of the grizzly ranch whether there are termites, If you have one, then you need to call in a professional pest control expert. "Although the effect may not be too obvious, at least it is much stronger than the amateur Li Cheng and others, and it is a way anyway.
After Li Cheng finished speaking, Noah, Banjie and others were responsible for leading the Eskimos to each hold a crowbar and begin to check for termite footprints around the building where termites visit.
The grizzly bear ranch is divided into two parts, the east and west ranch, and the number of buildings is still quite large, so the workload is inevitably a lot, and it will take at least three days to thoroughly inspect all the buildings without affecting the normal work of the ranch.
Li Cheng, who returned to the villa to rest, was also idle and had nothing to do. Holding a crowbar, he also began to inspect the main beams and corners, thankfully his building was not affected by termites.
However, it is not possible to generalize, maybe the other buildings in the ranch have become a good meal for termites? To solve the harm of termites, or to prevent termite disasters, Li Cheng has no good way, but Li Cheng thinks that he can use the Crystal Palace as a try, for example, transport some soil in the Crystal Palace and scatter it around the villa, maybe with the aura attached to the soil of the Crystal Palace, it may have the effect of repelling snakes, insects, rats and ants.
Thinking of this, Li Cheng thought about it. Secretly pondered, "The glory of Itsana seems to have this effect. However, even if the effect is obvious, it is easy to cause poisoning to ordinary people, and under the exposure of the sun's rays, the poisonous witch medicine will definitely volatilize. Fill the air. That would cause great hidden dangers. And the production is very small, which is not suitable for large-scale use. "It's still not realistic to use witch medicine to prevent termites. Li Cheng felt that he could try the first method, which was to carry some soil from the Crystal Palace, which was also inspired by the old crocodile's own mud pond.
It is estimated that the soil of the Crystal Palace is more effective than he imagined, and Li Cheng, who came to the stable, saw that Old Peake was adding forage, and there were many cubes of about a few square meters that had been pressed by the baler next to him.
"Is this the forage bought? It doesn't seem to be made of grass. Li Cheng didn't know much about this, he used to be fed a mixture of feed and rice husks, but now the foals are growing up and are starting to feed forage or forage.
"Well, this is a forage made from chopped straw, this batch of forage I came in from a friend, I heard that it is the latest magical forage developed in China, the price is quite expensive, I plan to feed it and take a look."
"Forage in China? Isn't it very skillful to make hay from straw in Canada? Why import from China, it's not scientific. Li Cheng was skeptical about this, it wouldn't be Lao Pique's friend who deceived him, but the number of people who entered was not much, even if he cheated, it would only be a loss, no big deal.
"I heard that this kind of forage, after feeding, the fur of the livestock will be much brighter, and the feeding will also increase greatly, which is conducive to the growth of the livestock."
"Is it so amazing? So isn't it a sharp tool for feeding beef sheep and beef cattle? It's not very useful for horses. Li Cheng grabbed a handful of this magical forage imported from the other side of the Pacific Ocean, and after smelling it, he found that there was a fragrant smell of yogurt, similar to fermented dairy products.
Li Cheng secretly pondered: "It is estimated that this forage must have this taste after adding some beneficial bacteria to ferment, which should be able to promote the digestive system of livestock, but there is still a lot of protein in it, and the crude fiber may be decomposed." Li Cheng through the yogurt effect on the human body, and then analyze the role of this forage, in fact, there is not much deviation from the facts, this forage is indeed the use of corn straw, wheat straw, rice straw and other cutting forage, the biggest difference is that through fermentation, after several years of domestic institutions to develop the beneficial bacteria, there are about 80 kinds of effects, what kind of kind, belongs to trade secrets.
It is also through up to 80 kinds of microorganisms to change the attributes of the forage grassland, so to achieve a miraculous effect, I have to say that this invention, so that many farmers can no longer burn straw, and each acre of land can increase the income of more than 200 old people, it is a great blessing, which also protects the environment accordingly, after all, the traditional straw treatment is burning, compared with foreign countries, or a lot behind.
The treatment of straw in foreign countries is generally chopped on the spot, made of fertilizer or forage, etc., incineration is absolutely not allowed, and once found, a high fine will be imposed.
In China, after the introduction of foreign methods, and the flexible use of ordinary straw, and then the use of ordinary straw to get a high return, are exported to Canada, which has a developed animal husbandry, which is also a great pride of the domestic people.
"Well, let's give it a try." Li Cheng didn't say much and left the stable, but he had a plan in his heart, that is, to go to the town to buy some fine corn seeds immediately! The original land of corn is the Americas, so the area of sowing and planting is still quite wide, but it is not the season of corn harvest, so there will be no straw, so if Li Cheng wants to do experiments, he can only plant corn in the Crystal Palace in exchange for straw, of course, and rice straw can also be used, and he also bought shredders, balers and the like, all of which were transported back to the warehouse, of course, taking advantage of the stall where the old Pico was not there, and it was nothing to encounter, and there were some arguments to explain.
Although Li Cheng didn't understand the method of fermentation, he was inspired by one thing, that is, after using the corn straw and rice straw planted in the Crystal Palace, it was made into forage! Now that this kind of magical forage has been produced, Li Chengcheng has an excuse, saying that he has mastered the method of fermentation, and he doesn't know that the original straw can be wasted, and a lot of straw has been wasted before!
In the past few days, Li Chengdu has been planting corn and rice in exchange for straw, and of course there are a lot of corn and rice hoarded to make other feed or for consumption.
Li Cheng found that the use of rice husk, that is, bran, added to the recipes of livestock, the effect is still good, at least for now, the quality of the meat sheep and meat sheep he feeds is good, these days he has eaten a lot of beef, if compared with the meat circulating in the market, the effect is extremely obvious.
The cattle and sheep raised in the ranch are a small part, but they are only provided to the people in the pasture to eat or feed the animals in the Crystal Palace, and every time Li Cheng will buy more cattle and meat, but the number reported is more than in reality, and the excess is put into the Crystal Palace to be raised, self-sufficient, so as to provide food for the animal legion.
So it won't attract much attention, but Li Cheng has handled a lot of cube forage, although there is no fermented aroma, but there is a special taste, indescribable, it is estimated that the effect of imported Chinese forage is comparable.
And the old Peake's report also proves Li Cheng's guess that this magical forage can indeed increase the appetite of livestock, improve immunity and meat quality, etc., and is a kind of gospel for those who specialize in raising beef, but the price is slightly higher, and it is not cost-effective to import, but it can be fed as high-end beef and mutton, which belongs to high-end forage.
At present, the grizzly bear ranch is not suitable for large-scale import of this kind of forage, but Li Cheng has added the corn straw and rice straw planted in the crystal palace to the pony, cow, sheep and other domestic animals in the name of importing another kind of forage, and added it to the cub of the processed coal, cow, sheep and other domestic animals, so as to observe the effect, what kind of forage is popular, of course, it will take a while to appear.
It is estimated that the effect is similar to that of planted carrots, which can provide appetite, increase protein absorption, reduce crude fiber, and improve the stimulation of meat quality and bloodline, and the immune system should also be enhanced.
Fortunately, there is no termite erosion in the grizzly bear ranch, it is estimated that this is also related to the terrain, after all, the six cutting ranch is in the forest, and the cost of integrating into nature is inevitably to deal with insects and ants, so the presence of termites is also normal, and the residential area of the grizzly bear ranch is mainly the prairie, so the possibility of suffering from termites is lower, but it can't be negligent, Li Cheng still took some soil from the crystal palace and sowed it outside the fence in the east and west, just in case, you can also try it, Does this precious gold clay have this effect?
After dealing with these, Claire drove the business van of Canadian TV to come over early in the morning, mainly for the interview, while the enthusiasm for discussing Li Cheng on the Internet has not subsided, Canadian TV has taken into account the importance of ratings and first-hand reporting, so it has stepped up preparations for the interview, preparing to broadcast about Li Cheng's deeds in the prime time of the evening, and these will be reported around Li Cheng's experience of heroically saving people in a helicopter and drifting at sea for a month to survive, Of course, one episode of the program can't tell all this, and the TV station plans to do more than three quarters, if the response is enthusiastic, it will add a few quarters appropriately, relatively, the ratings are not high, it must be the end of one issue, Li Cheng has no opinion on this, his own interview, in addition to improving his own communication skills, another point is to give his girlfriend Claire's face, and it is not very difficult for her to do, after all, if you refuse many times, it is impossible to have no ideas in your heart.
