Chapter 65: A Bright Future

Mr. Tang felt a little strange, he hatched 5,000 chicks in this batch, but since the giant chickens were taller than the dogs, the normal chicks became fewer and fewer, and it seemed that there would be fewer every day. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Of the 5,000 chicks, 2,000 have become giant chickens, and the remaining 3,000 are still normal, but these normal ones are decreasing day by day.

It's a bit weird, there's no falcon with a chick in the vicinity, not even an owl, and as for a weasel, a yellow-skinned or something, I've never seen it before.

After all, this is the hinterland of the Central Plains, and those wild things have entered people's stomachs hundreds of years ago, and you can't find one and a half within a radius of hundreds of miles.

The question is, without these things, where would his chicks go? You can't grow wings and fly on your own, can you?

Although chicks have wings, the question is that the thing is only the size of a fist, where can it fly? The courtyard wall more than two meters high is not so easy to fly.

This matter has always puzzled Mr. Tang, he thought that the chick was too small, and he might have accidentally been trampled to death by the giant chicken. But it's strange that I don't see any corpses when I'm usually feeding or patrolling.

Fortunately, the giant chicken has become a high-tech project that the county focuses on, and with various funds and support, Mr. Tang has easily covered the chicken farm with monitoring.

With the monitoring of the soup, he finally found the answer, and he inadvertently found that some giant chickens would always take advantage of the chickens when they were not paying attention, and secretly swallowed the chicks directly.

This chicken eats meat?!

Mr. Tang was very surprised, but after thinking about it, he was relieved, after all, chickens also eat insects, and now the chicks are in the eyes of the giant chickens, aren't they like little insects.

On this day, the professor of Agricultural University came again.

"Chief Tang Chang, can you recall again, is there anything special about your batch of giant chicks when they hatched?"

"Professor Sun, I've said everything I should have said, I didn't hide it from you at all, and I can't hide it from you, can I? There really isn't, how the eggs were hatched before, how they hatched this time, nothing has changed, nothing has changed. ”

"That's strange, these huge chicks can't change in vain."

"Professor Sun, how are you doing? What the hell is going on with my giant chicken? ”

"This batch of giant chickens, we judge that it should be due to the gigantic growth caused by DNA mutation. There is a certain probability of gigantic development in general organisms, such as gigantism in humans, and the same is true for other species, and we think that this batch of chickens may be similar to gigantism. ”

"My chickens have gigantism!"

"Possibly! All living things have growth genes, and they will not grow again when they grow to a certain size, and now it seems that these giant chickens may have a loss of growth restriction genes. However, this is only a hypothesis, and until it is proven, it is only a hypothesis. And I have never heard that gigantism can concentrate on the disease, which may not make sense. ”

"What else could it be if it's not gigantism?"

"It's hard to make a conclusion about this problem for the time being, the gigantic caused by the failure of the growth restriction gene is not the same as your giant chicken, overgrowth often leads to a lot of physiological problems, because the organism is very complex, and the simple body size is magnified because of structural imbalance, and the giant chicken obviously does not have this performance. So strictly speaking, the giant can't be considered gigantism yet. In addition, we need to determine the origin of the giant chicken, how did you get this batch of eggs? ”

"My chickens are on their own."

"The same batch?"

"How can it, this batch of eggs has been saved for almost two months."

"Can you figure out the paternal and maternal relationships of these eggs?"

"Then who can figure it out, so many chickens are free-range, who knows which rooster was ridden by the hen before laying eggs."

"We went back to test the DNA samples taken last time, and the DNA of these giant chickens has a certain continuity, it should have a common DNA origin, maybe dozens of generations ago, they were all eggs of the same hen."

"But the strange thing is that the DNA of these giant chickens is somewhat different from that of the non-gigantic chickens, and although we can't decipher the specific role of these DNA now, it is clear that the gigantic DNA is caused by this part of the differential DNA."

"The only question now is, what are these sources of DNA variants? We need to find the source of the mutation, or the cause of the mutation. ”

"Professor Sun, I don't understand these research work, so you can say what you need me to do."

"When incubating a batch of eggs, it's a good idea to hatch all the eggs in your farm and see if there are any bigger chicks."

"Okay, no problem." Since the giant chicken was born, Mr. Tang's chicken farm has not been able to do business normally, and now it is about to become a laboratory.

Right under Professor Sun's nose, the giant chicken grew day by day, growing taller and taller almost faster than the bamboo shoots, and within a few days, the shoulder height of the giant chicken was about the same as the shoulder height of the donkey. If you stand with a giant chicken, the giant chicken only needs to raise its head and see the top of the person's head.

At this time, the giant chicken weighed more than 100 kilograms, and it walked with a loud bang, which was much more windy than an ostrich or something, after all, an ostrich has a long neck and long legs, and most of the height is filled with neck and legs. The giant chicken is a real person, with a short neck and short legs, a wide body and a wide body, full of weight, and it is not a tonnage at first glance.

"The ratio of feed to meat is almost 3:1, and the feeding value is not bad, if the giant chicken can really form a stable strain, it is still more valuable to promote." Professor Sun is stationed in the chicken farm this time, and when he usually conducts research, Mr. Tang often follows behind to learn from the experience, and Professor Sun is not hesitant to impart relevant knowledge.

"Do you know what the feed-to-meat ratio of a typical broiler is?" Professor Sun has clearly entered teaching mode.

"I don't remember much." Although I raise chickens every day, who still remembers these.

"Generally speaking, the feed-to-meat ratio of broilers is 2:1, and the feed-to-meat ratio of local chickens is 4:1, which means that if you feed 8 catties of feed, you can harvest almost four catties of broiler chicken, or two catties of native chicken."

"It's not bad, it's easier to produce meat than local chickens, and it's bigger."

"Yes, and enter the market early, there will definitely be a period of price exploration, and the profit margin is still very large."

"That is, a chicken as big as a donkey is worth more than a small chicken! Professor Sun, why don't I sell two of them? ”

"Don't worry, if it's really a new product, you chickens will kill and eat meat will be a tyrannical thing."

"When will it be sold?"

"Do you think it's worth selling broilers or breeding chickens?"

"Breeders! Breeders! It must be a breeder! Mr. Tang listened to the eyebrows, and Professor Sun pointed out a big way to make a fortune.

As long as you think about it, you will know that if the giant chicken is promoted as a new breed nationwide, then his more than 2,000 chickens are all breeders, so I am sorry for myself if I don't sell them at a high price.

Is it better to sell 10,000 pieces?

Or is 20,000 better?

Or one hundred thousand?

A bright future beckons to Mr. Tang......
