Care for female animals is the most common job for veterinarians.

In the pasture, when you are most willing to pay, that is, every year when ewes and cows are pregnant.

If grasslands are the foundation of pastures, lambs are the future of farms. On weekdays, state-owned farms and herdsmen are examples of scattering goods. Those who can use green feed are unwilling to use grain feed. When water in the pastures can be used, they will not pay for the pumping station. Occasionally, when animals are sick, they will not spend too much money to treat them as long as they are sure that it is not an epidemic.

If it really doesn't work, I'll have a meal on the weekend.

Only when the mother beast is pregnant, it cannot be taken lightly.

If there is no sufficient number of lambs and calves are born, it will be truly difficult to get by if they enter the pasture in the window next year.

Therefore, once ewes become pregnant, their treatment will increase rapidly.

Moldy and spoiled feed is first cut off and allocated to the little rams for food. Some people may say, how can moldy and spoiled feed be given to animals? When asking this question, think about the meaning of slurry as high-end feed, and you can roughly guess the average level of feed.

In addition, the proportion of essential feed in the feed consumed by pregnant ewes will also increase. Generally speaking, ewes who are two months pregnant can already get rid of hay, soybeans, corn, barley, wheat, bean cakes, and bone meal, and become staple food. They are often cooked and fed several times a day. From the perspective of sheep, it is already extremely happy.

In addition, epidemic prevention and deworming are also the focus of veterinarians. Depending on the region, ewes should regularly inject vaccines such as fast-eating, sheep sniping, sheep intestinal toxemia, lamb dysentery, black epidemic, etc., and each injection is money.

For ranchers who have to be stingy for a penny, this is not the time, who would like to give money to the veterinarian?

Everyone is reluctant to see a doctor when they get sick. Ordinary minor illnesses are nothing more than lying in bed and suffering from suffering, let alone giving them to animals.

Logically speaking, veterinarians have such rich experience in caring for livestock, especially mother animals, and it should not be difficult to take care of pregnant sheep that cloned sheep.

However, things are not that simple.

In the past, veterinarians performed very cost-effective work, and they were used to doing cost-effective work.

From their perspectives with the ranch side, when any sheep needs treatment, it will boil down to one problem - whether it is cost-effective.

Treat it if it is worth it, and give up if it is not worth it. This is the most common idea. Apart from having to get vaccinated and having to do deworming, there is no animal disease that must be cured.

The price of a sheep is 50 yuan, but it ends up spending 100 yuan on medicine.

Opening a ranch as a herder is to make a living, not a good church.

However, how much does an ewe with cloned sheep cost?

There are no actuaries in Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory to do this calculation, but what is certain is that the unit of pricing is definitely 10,000 yuan, and the longer the pregnancy period, the more valuable the ewes.

For ewes who have a total of 5 months of pregnancy, they can't even get 100,000 yuan after two or three months.

This is still in the country. If it is placed abroad, it will be a minor meaning to translate it into US dollars.

The veterinarians in Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory faced a job of how to protect the ewes with the best medicine, the best equipment and the most complete manpower.

However, most veterinarians are not really good at this job.

In just two months, half of the people declared failure.

Some of them have bad luck, some have poor skills, and some are completely unacceptable to such jobs.

It can be said that some ewes are completely poorly cared for and suffer unnecessary losses.

After such an evaluation report came out, the researchers in Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory were anxious.

"I don't feel sorry for the kids selling their land. Can't we find a few better-level ones?"

"Everyone with good domestic veterinarians have brought us here."

"Let the managers with good skills not take care of each other head-on."

"Are you a veterinarian? No one is convinced by anyone else. Besides, if you take care of yourself, you will be assigned to others in the end. Just those stupid guys will not end up with the same result."

"Can you find a veterinary research institute or something? Isn't it okay to pull it over?"

"Not mentioning their level, which veterinary institute do you want to co-author your paper?"

"Forget it, although we are engaged in animal husbandry, we can't fall into being as good as going hand in hand with the veterinarian."

Yang Rui sat in the laboratory, listening to the researchers' ways to scold the veterinarians for being stupid, and his thoughts were not fluctuating at all.

Just as researchers need exercise, veterinarians naturally need exercise.

He was mentally prepared for this.

The pregnancy management of cloned sheep is a world-class problem. As far as the level in the 1980s is concerned, it can only be a gambling chance.

Yang Rui is not sure what kind of care model is correct, and the existing technical indicators are not guiding. On the contrary, the inherent thinking model may play the opposite role.

Just like whether human women need to go to confinement is still an indelible paradox, let alone sheep’s pregnancy care.

Therefore, Yang Rui was just immersed in his own world, listening to the circling curses and discussions in his ears, and taking a deep breath, as if he had arrived at the primeval forest in the scientific research community.

Reading and studying is the process of fighting against stupid people in the ocean of stupid people.

Those who have been to elementary school are proud of their names and can calculate the cost of vegetables, and are no longer illiterate fools; they are amazing after studying in junior high school. At least they can read twenty-six letters in English, and have the ability to independently use various foreign websites to browse good people, and are no longer a fool in elementary school. If they have been to high school, they will watch the financial channel, at least they will not point to the curve chart and laugh like a fool in junior high school.

Those who can enter university can be said to have swam deeply in the ocean of stupid goods. Their greatest achievement is to see the world clearly, know that using primary mathematics cannot solve the Goldbach conjecture, and using modern physics cannot produce a perpetual motion machine, and completely stay away from the world of stupid goods in middle school.

The children who continue to become graduate students are unique in the ocean of stupid goods. If they are willing to stay in the laboratory for a few days, their self-evaluations will be heard from their ears: I am such a fool! Why am I so stupid! I am so stupid!

As for the highest level doctoral students, they are very condescending to graduate students and undergraduate students, "Why are you so stupid? Do you dare to be a little stupid? Damn, you are so stupid and talented." It is not their catchphrase, but also the mainstream of their inner drama. Only when you see the payroll, will the doctoral students sincerely say: This stupid world!

As a veteran in the laboratory, Yang Rui has become accustomed to noisy laboratories, and cloning sheep is no exception.

However, the veterinarians themselves felt guilty as they did.

The stupid Li Zhanjun was pushed out and was responsible for explaining to Yang Rui.

This is the first time that Li Zhanjun has done a national-level major project. He is not used to the big scenes of Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory, and he becomes even more nervous when he meets the boss.

Standing in front of Yang Rui, looking at Yang Rui's bright white coat and smelling his scented clothes, Li Zhanjun couldn't speak for a moment.

"You are Li Zhanjun, right?" Yang Rui said with a smile, the expression on his face was warm.

Li Zhanjun was instantly excited: "Do you know me?"

"Of course, you were here by me by name." Yang Rui couldn't say anything. There were so many veterinarians recruited in the laboratory, most of which were selected senior talents. With hundreds of people, Yang Rui could not go to work as a full-time HR.

However, Yang Rui still knew Li Zhanjun's name.

This guy has no reputation outside the circle, and he didn't have any chance to make a name for himself when he was young. He just worked as a veterinarian and retired.

However, after retirement, Li Zhanjun became famous. He took care of horse racing at the racecourse in Yangcheng and independently completed the operation of a retired thoroughbred horse. The latter recovered well and returned to the competition field and won the championship several times.

This kind of story happened once and was a legend that was talked about, but Li Zhanjun completed it silently several times, so that people in the circle couldn't help but not notice him.

As we all know, due to the policy environment and history of China, most horse racing horses are self-entertainment, and they are not even considered the second tier. Most of the horse farms receive retired old horses and injured horses. Li Zhanjun is like a fish in water in this environment and has made some fame and money.

However, due to age, Li Zhanjun did not work on the front line for a long time, and soon became a reputation and symbol.

Yang Rui looked at Li Zhanjun and asked curiously: "You usually work in the ranch, what do you mainly do?"

Li Zhanjun replied confusedly: "That is, taking care of animals, getting vaccinated, etc. In addition, occasionally there are cattle and sheep that fall and get injured, I will also perform some minor surgery and bandage and fix it."

If it were someone else, it would be difficult to hear something special from this passage. Yang Rui asked: "Under normal circumstances, if the cattle and sheep are injured, aren't they going to slaughter?"

"If it really doesn't work, there's nothing we can do. In fact, if it's done well, most trauma can be solved."

Yang Rui nodded and said, "All good skills are practiced."

With a mindless sentence, Li Zhanjun could only reply stupidly, "Yes".

"This batch is not going well?" Yang Rui continued to ask.

The same sentence was a stupid sentence, Li Zhanjun understood it instantly, nodded quickly, and said, "We are not very skilled yet, and the success rate is relatively low..."

"No need to explain." Yang Rui interrupted with a sentence.

Li Zhanjun immediately put his feet together and lowered his head, ready to accept criticism.

"Do you think, with the current progress, how many batches will you need to make it?" Yang Rui did not mean to criticize Li Zhanjun, and his tone did not change much.

This is the key issue at present. Li Zhanjun suddenly became nervous and looked back guiltily, saying, "We have no mature experience and no successful examples... We also discussed similar issues during the meeting recently..."

"I don't want to listen to what others say, I just want to listen to your judgment, your personal judgment." Yang Rui's question was even more unexpected.

Li Zhanjun shivered unconsciously, and then felt sweating.

"I..." With Li Zhanjun's personality, he had avoided similar problems before.

He doesn't like politics, meetings, and even more so, he doesn't like military orders. He likes to stay with cattle, sheep, mules and horses. If he cures the disease, the recovered animals will thank him. If he can't cure it, no animals will come back to cause trouble.

Yang Rui’s problem seems to be a problem that can cause trouble.

However, Li Zhanjun didn't want to avoid it at this time.

In other words, when he nodded instinctively and was subconsciously pushed out by his colleagues to face Yang Rui, Li Zhanjun had an idea in his mind.

A bold idea!

"I think it's hard for this batch, even the next batch, to have a pregnancy ewes." Li Zhanjun did not wait for Yang Rui to ask, and said in a breath: "We have never done a job like pregnancy management before. We are learning. The high miscarriage rate and high pregnancy diseases we have encountered are all things that we have not paid attention to before. It takes time to solve them one by one, and it takes time."

After glanced at Yang Rui, Li Zhanjun said again: "Not only is it a problem that we need to train and be familiar with, but the flock of sheep actually needs to be trained and be familiar with. These sheep are not raised locally, transported over long distances, and they are both egg-retrieving and conceiving, and they are not well prepared. If it is just embryo transfer, it is not a big problem. Now the embryo transfer of cloned sheep has reached the point that affects the success rate."

Yang Rui frowned. To be honest, he had never considered the relevant issues.

If you want to say what the difference is between Yang Rui and the original father of cloned sheep, it is fatal to have no experience in animal husbandry and zoology.

Historically, Wermuth's doctoral student was about zoology, and of course, it was the freezing of pigs that were much taller than veterinary medicine. No matter how they arranged the chain of contempt in their circle, Wermuth worked for many years and was involved in animal husbandry and zoology. Before enchanting the white-faced sheep, he accumulated considerable experience.

Yang Rui's laboratory resume is already beautiful enough, but he has never dealt with sheep. He has experience in embryo transfer and has the qualifications to participate in cloning sheep, but the host is still not in a good mood.
