Chapter 111: Chicks Eat Worms

However, the root of the problem has not yet been solved, and after a while, the owner of the livestock station and the pasture almost quarreled again, and everyone had their own reasons, and the more they talked, the more excited they became.

It turned out that locusts were found in this pasture not long ago, which is commonly known as grasshoppers, and once these guys reproduce, they are very fast.

A large area of locusts flies over and can empty a pasture, so this pest is also the focus of the animal husbandry station.

The Xilin Town Animal Husbandry Station believes that the fastest and most effective way to control locusts is to use insecticides.

Now they generally use dichlorvos, dichlorvos is not much harmful to pasture, but this medicine cannot be decomposed, after hitting the grass, it will not decompose and fail over time, and even after being washed by rain, it is still poisonous.

Generally speaking, the pasture where dichlorvos has been beaten, cattle and sheep will be temporarily forbidden to enter, but cattle and sheep are illiterate, and their personalities are naughty, and they fight wits and courage with sheepdogs all day long, and the owner does not let them go, those naughty lambs just want to go to see, so there will be today's situation of sheep poisoning.

The owner of the flock found that the lamb was poisoned, and naturally did not allow the livestock station to continue spraying dichlorvos.

The animal husbandry station also felt aggrieved, if it didn't continue to spray, what if the locusts spread? At that time, it is not this grassland that will be harmed, but the entire grassland.

Chu Xingchen is a very smart person, but he is helpless in the face of this dilemma, knowing that the insecticide is poisonous and still allows him to continue spraying, which is unfair to the herdsmen, but if the insects are not killed, once the locusts spread, it will indeed be a lot of harm.

As soon as she heard that this was the case, Zhuo Yan was happy, she pointed to the chicken cage on the ox cart, "Let me give it a try, chickens can also eat locusts, and they eat a lot, the key is that they are not poisonous, and they will not spoil the pasture!" ”

If it were usual, Zhuo Yan would definitely be ridiculed by everyone if he said such a thing, everyone knows that chickens can eat all kinds of insects, but how much can this little guy eat?

Counting on chicks to exterminate insects, it is better to catch insects with bare hands.

But this time is different from the past, Zhuo Yan just saved the lamb, and the people on the grassland are very righteous and pay attention to repaying the peach, even if they think Zhuo Yan's method is useless, they have to give her three points of face.

So the black-faced man was the first to agree, and he coughed, "This little girl's method is good, then I'll borrow your chickens to use it, and ask them to help me get rid of insects in this grassland?" ”

Zhuo Yan nodded and said seriously, "Yes!" ”

The people at the animal husbandry station in Xilin Town were completely ignored and stood aside in embarrassment.

Soon, all four iron cages were removed from the ox cart, and as soon as the cage door was opened, the chicks immediately rushed out, they were so hungry that they saw that the grass around them was full of fat grasshoppers, and their eyes were green.

These chickens are not big, but they are so fierce that they catch the insects in their mouths and then slam them on the ground, holding down their front paws, and then the insects are dismembered.

Occasionally, if there is a particularly large locust, two or three chicks will work together to besiege it.

Originally, the locusts were very flexible, and people flew away before they got close to them, but this trick was useless in front of the chickens, and the chicken wings only needed to fan the locusts back to the ground.
