Chapter 25 Pig Breeding

June 12, 1871.

East African Kingdom, the first town, Rufu village.

A tragedy is being staged at the entrance of the village, and if you pass through the entrance of Lufu Village at this time, all you can hear is the sound of tearing and howling.

Today, all the villagers of Lufu Village went to the entrance of the village to join in the fun, and some people who had not seen such a scene for many years watched it with relish, and some people who had never seen such a thing exclaimed again and again.

Especially the white villagers, where have they seen this kind of scene, they are shocked, and at the same time, they feel the tightness of their lower bodies, as if they have empathized.

"My God, is he really a veterinarian? I think he is more like a butcher, and his equipment looks very different from ordinary knives, more like a spoon that has been flattened, is this some secret technique of your Orient? Andre. Yuris asked Andrei, his eastern neighbor and the village's security captain.

"According to your European reasoning, yes, treating pigs is not a veterinarian! After all, this is part of the operation, and I think the pig should be considered an operation! That pig cutter should be considered a type of scalpel. Andrei explained to Yuris as much as he could in his own words.

Yuris: "But these pigs are healthy!" It's not like it's sick, what's the point? ”

Andrey: "Healthy? Have you ever eaten pork? ”

Yuris: "I've eaten it!" ”

Andrew: "That's good, when I was in Germany, I also saw your pork, which is indeed much stronger than Far Eastern pork, and it can't be washed with water." ”

Andrei graduated from the Heixingen School and was sent to East Africa without going to junior high school, so he still has some knowledge.

Andrei: "So you don't castrate piglets when you raise pigs?" ”

Julis: "Of course, none of us in Europe do that, so is there anything wrong with that?" ”

Andrei said like Yuriskop: "I tell you this, after this little pig is castrated, the meat grows faster, and the taste is not sassy, if it is not castrated, the pork will smell noisy." ”

Yuris was a little skeptical: "Really? ”

Andrey: "What do you lie to, this is all the experience summed up by the predecessors!" After all, everything has a reason for its existence, but castrated pig meat is more delicious, and your ancestors have not yet come to discover it. ”

Yuri: "I see! That is to say, this castrated pig has grown up and has no smell? ”

Europeans also eat pork, but they do not castrate pigs in breeding, such pork has a very strong taste, so it is important to carry out secondary processing, most Europeans are not very good at handling pork, and generally use spices to mask the smell of pork.

Although East Africa is one of the spice producing countries, the cultivation area is not large, and spices are mainly exported, and the common people of East Africa do not need spices, this is Ernst's view.

How to solve the problem of pork smell, naturally is to introduce the profession of pig cutter, castrating piglets, but according to Western standards, pig cutters are proper veterinarians.

It looks like a butcher, but in fact it is a veterinarian from East Africa, and when he went to that station, two villagers handed over a piglet, and he lifted the pig's leg with one hand and pinched the piglet in his hand.

casually took a sterilized pig knife from a porcelain bowl filled with alcohol, "Split the road of life and death with both hands, and cut the root of right and wrong with one knife." "There are words in the mouth.

I saw that in an instant, the knife fell, and the lychee of the little piglet was a knife, and in an instant, two lychees fell into the bowl prepared in advance.

At this time, the little piglet reacted, screaming in pain, the veterinarian took a needle and thread to sew it twice, sprinkled some powder on the wound, and a castration operation was completed, and the people on both sides watched it carefully.

"Okay, are there any piglets left in your village? If you still need to cut pig eggs, send them quickly, and I'm still in a hurry to go to the next village! The veterinarian spoke.

Veterinarians in East Africa are scarce, and even fewer can cut pigs, so most of them are mobile jobs, castrating pigs in their areas of responsibility along fixed routes according to government arrangements.

"It's gone, it's gone, that's all the piglets issued by the government!"

Piglets are distributed to villages by the East African government for free to raise in order to increase the amount of meat for East African residents, but also to consume the surplus food.

In East Africa, the aquaculture industry is divided into agricultural farming and pastoral farming, pastoral farming is easy to understand, agricultural farming is mainly captive breeding, feed feeding accounts for the majority.

In the past, East Africa was mainly captive cattle and horses, and now the production of cattle and horses has increased to a certain extent, but it is mainly used for labor and transportation. Some of the northern pastures are used for export, but very little of them go to the bowls of East Africans.

In fact, the pastures in East Africa are much inferior to those in other regions, and they are better than those in Australia.

Like Europe, North and South America have moist grasslands that are most suitable for pasture growth, while East Africa is humid and rainforest, and grasslands are divided into rainy and dry seasons. When the dry season comes, the pasture decreases, which is not conducive to grazing

Therefore, in East Africa, both pasture farming and agricultural farming have always been emphasized, but agricultural farming is more scattered and the unit is relatively small, but the volume is not worse than that of pastoral farming.

At the same time, farming in agricultural areas, naturally more suitable for grain breeding, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep and pigs, of which pork is very suitable for improving meat production in East Africa, first of all, a pig from birth to slaughter only takes about half a year, and the reproductive ability is strong, secondly, pigs as an omnivore is not picky at all, there are a large number of agricultural and sideline products can be used as pig feed, relatively speaking, the cost of raising pigs is lower than the cost of breeding other animals.

In East Africa, there are a large number of crops such as potatoes that are specially cultivated for black slaves, which do not require much energy to grow and are very productive and can be used as pig feed.

In terms of meat choices, Europeans are not much different from the Far East, everyone originally used pork as the most important source of meat, and only people influenced by Arab culture did not eat pork.

And the Germans have a great passion for eating pork, which is reflected in the production of various sausages. However, in the current era, it is good for everyone to be full, not so particular, throw it in the pot, cook it and it's over.

This time, the Kingdom of East Africa introduced a total of 200,000 breeding pigs, mainly in the central province and the Primorsky Province, Mar-Lagoon Province, and South Salzburg Province to pilot the promotion, and the village as a unit for breeding, that is, not to engage in large-scale breeding.

Large-scale breeding has high risks and high technical requirements, and a careless approach may lead to the annihilation of the entire army, especially in captivity, where so many livestock are raised together, and the health problem is not easy to solve.
