Luo Yun didn't hide it at all, and lowered his head to tell all the current situation and problems of the chicken farm.

After listening, Li Hao's face was obviously more solemn than just now.

Hong Linfeng said at the right time: "Commander, it's not to blame Deputy Commander Luo. ”

"The drought is getting worse, and the people don't have enough food to eat, let alone chickens and pigs."

"In this case, Deputy Head Luo can keep the chicken farm and pig farm is very powerful."

Political commissar Wang Hong also rushed over when he heard the news, thinking that Li Hao was very dissatisfied with Deputy Head Luo's work, so he hurriedly said: "I heard that many pig farms and chicken farms in the base area have been closed due to food shortages. ”

"Our garrison regiment has not only maintained them, but also produced a certain amount of output, which is really powerful, and Deputy Commander Luo has contributed a lot."

Li Hao shook his head and replied: "I don't blame Deputy Head Luo, the reason why the situation of pig farms and chicken farms is getting worse and worse. ”

"It's caused by the environment and external factors, and I still have the ability to judge."

"You're right, Deputy Regiment Commander Luo can keep our chicken farm and pig farm, so that the soldiers have the opportunity to open meat and eat two eggs, which is already a great achievement."

"I wonder if there is a way to increase the growth and laying cycle of a layer and increase its egg production without food."

"The supplies in the base area are becoming more and more scarce, and only by being self-sufficient can we ensure that the physical strength and combat effectiveness of the soldiers will not be affected."

"It's hard!" Luo Yun replied with a long sigh of relief.

"I asked a few intellectuals in the base, and they told me that the only way to increase protein intake is to shorten the growth cycle of laying hens and increase their egg production."

"And the only source of protein is grain."

"But what we lack most now is food, and it is impossible to rob the soldiers of their rations to feed the chickens and pigs, that would be too much to lose."

Li Hao replied firmly: "No, there must be other ways to increase the protein intake of chickens." ”

Then he began to recall his memories of the chicken farm in later generations.

"Earthworm ......," Li Hao exclaimed with a light in his eyes.

Looking at Wang Hong, Luo Yun, and Hong Linfeng, they all looked at themselves with puzzled expressions, and Li Hao hurriedly explained.

"Political commissar, earthworms are rich in protein, far more than grain, if we let our chickens eat a little earthworm every day, their protein intake will definitely increase, nutrition will also keep up, and egg production will increase."

"In addition, temperature and light can also affect the egg production of the chickens."

"Now that it's getting colder, we have to find ways to increase the temperature and light in the coop."

Luo Yun thought for a moment and replied, "Commander, it's no problem to increase the light and temperature." ”

"We can add a few coal stoves to the chicken coop, get a few hand-cranked generators that have captured the little devils, and add some light bulbs to the chicken coop to increase the temperature and light in the chicken coop."

"As for feeding chickens earthworms to supplement protein, it's too difficult."

"I know that chickens eat earthworms, but I can't guarantee that you can supplement protein by eating earthworms, and I don't know if chickens will get sick and have problems if they eat too many earthworms."

"In addition, even if it is useful to eat earthworms, we can't promote them on a large scale."

"There are too many chickens in the chicken farm, according to the calculation that a chicken eats ten earthworms a day, all of them add up to tens of thousands, and every day, where do we get so many earthworms, the whole group may not be able to dispatch."

Li Hao did not answer immediately, nor was he affected by Luo Yun's answer, but recalled the feasibility of this method in his mind.

The more I thought about it, the stronger the smile on my face.

Facing Luo Yun's gaze at him, he replied: "It's definitely unrealistic to catch tens of thousands of earthworms every day, and there are not so many earthworms for us to catch." ”

"But we can raise our own earthworms."

"Earthworms are not chickens, they don't need a lot of protein."

"As long as there is livestock manure, rotten grass leaves, soil, and water, and we can ferment them well, we can breed earthworms on a large scale."

"And earthworms grow very fast and reproduce quickly, as long as we catch a sufficient number of earthworms as seeds at the beginning, it will not take half a month for it to reproduce on a large scale......"

For Wang Hong, they had never heard of earthworms that could be farmed and fed to chickens in large quantities.

Facing Li Hao, who was getting more and more excited the more he talked, several people all showed suspicious expressions.

Li Hao didn't blame them, and he didn't explain much, after all, this was the way it appeared decades later.

made a decision immediately: "Listen to me in this matter, Deputy Regiment Commander Luo, you draw a hundred laying hens out, mobilize the regiment headquarters and all logistics personnel to catch earthworms, feed them every day, and see if the egg production has increased." ”

"If there is, we will raise our own earthworms to feed the chickens."

"You must be careful when feeding, you can't feed it alive."

"Earthworms must be cleaned, then cooked in a pot, chopped and mixed in broken leaves and fed together."

Take a hundred laying hens out for experiments, even if something really goes wrong, the losses of the garrison regiment are minimal.

This is an outcome that is acceptable to all.

Li Hao firmly believed in his proposal, and after making a decision, he began to think about how to breed earthworms on a large scale.

In this day and age, earthworm farming is a novelty, and there is no experience to draw on.

The only thing Li Hao can do is to integrate the few memories in his mind, imitate the growth environment of earthworms as much as possible, and then breed earthworms on a large scale.

"Sun Jiawu ......"

Li Hao thought of the commander of the guard company.

"Here!" Sun Jiawu, who had been on standby at the headquarters, strode in.

"You prepare a big wooden box for me, half a meter deep, one meter long and one meter wide, and then go to a nearby villager's house to buy a load of fermented livestock manure and come back, and finally get another basket of soil and two baskets of leaves."

"By the way, arrange another guard squad to catch earthworms in the vegetable field of the regiment headquarters, I want at least fifty, and all of them will be alive."

Sun Jiawu looked puzzled, he didn't know what the regiment commander was going to make up, but he still replied very quickly: "Don't worry, the regiment commander, the guard company guarantees to complete the task, and you will get all the things you want before dark." ”

In the horse pen specially vacated by the regiment headquarters, several soldiers under the command of Li Hao were mashing the fermented livestock manure, and some were smashing the leaves and soil that had just been collected.

When you're done, everything is gathered in a box and mixed thoroughly.

At this time, the yellow soil has turned black-brown and looks particularly fertile.

"Put the earthworms you have captured in it, from now on, the guard company will specially draw out a soldier to keep an eye on the wooden box, and water it once a day to ensure that the soil is moist."

"Then go through the soil in the box for three days, I just looked, the manure you got back has not been completely fermented, they will definitely continue to ferment in the soil, and then heat up and burn the earthworms inside."

"Turning it over a few times can keep the earthworm growing environment from heating up and keep it moist all the time."

After confessing for half an hour, Li Hao left the horse circle.
