After he came out from his parents' place, his beating heart finally subsided. If he hadn't reacted quickly, he would have been arranged by his mother to go on a blind date. I really don't know why my mother was so keen on this!
He did not drive back to his old house, but first went to see the vegetable fields. He felt pretty good and everything was normal.
Except for Chen Jingui, whose face was full of doubts, the vegetables in this vegetable field were growing so well and growing so fast that he, an old farmer, didn't believe in life anymore.
But after Chen Mo explained last time, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he forced himself to believe what Chen Mo said.
Other than that, there is no cultural knowledge. Since Erwa said it is scientific, then so be it.
"Erwa, the fish pond has almost been disinfected. We will change the water tomorrow. Do you think you are going to release the fish by then?" Dahai saw Chen Mo appear at the edge of the field and hurried over and said.
Since Dahai was responsible for raising fish ponds and other livestock, he came over to urge him.
"Okay, after you change the water tomorrow and let it dry for a few days, I will prepare the fish." Chen Mo agreed.
"Also, Erwa, can you come with me to see if there is something wrong with the chickens we raise?" Dahai said.
"Why isn't it normal?"
Chen Mo and Dahai came to the place where the vegetable fields meet the slopes. This is the livestock breeding area. However, since the area is not very big, about a hundred acres, and it is all sloping land, there will not be many livestock to be raised here. Cattle and
Neither sheep nor pigs have been introduced yet.
At this time, the livestock breeding building has been built, and all the required electrical equipment such as ventilation fans have been installed, and we are just waiting to buy the little cub.
However, because the vegetable fields in front were overrun with bugs, Dahai urgently purchased thousands of chicks. The problem lies with these chicks. Ma Youwei and another villager are taking care of the chicks now. When they saw Chen Mo coming over
, also a simple and honest smile.
"Erwa, look at these chickens." Dahai pointed to the chickens in the chicken coop and said. The chicken coop was newly built and very big, so now there is a lot of space inside with a thousand chickens.
Moreover, the chickens raised here in Chen Mo adopt a free-range mode. Since there is a fence around the chickens, apart from locking the chickens in the chicken coop at night, the chickens are allowed to move freely on the hillside at other times.
And because there is a purification array set up by Chen Mo, there is no smell. It can be said that the disgusting odor that you smell in the breeding farm does not exist here. Except for the smell of earth and grass, all other smells have been purified.
.
"It's normal. They are all very lively. Well! You guys took good care of them!" Chen Mo saw thousands of chicks running back and forth, vying to peck for food. They were all normal, but he looked at the sea with some doubts.
"It's normal? Erwa, can you think about it, I bought these chicks less than half a month ago, and look at them, they are so big. Is this normal?" Dahai was immediately dissatisfied.
For those who grew up together, even if I now rely on Chen Mo for a living, I still have to say something. This is also my responsibility for my work.
Chen Mo turned to look at the chicks in the chicken coop, hmm! They are really big! The chicks he bought originally were not as big as a fist, but now it seems that all the chicks are almost the size of a chicken for more than a month.
.
"It's growing a little too fast!" Chen Mo said.
"What does it mean that it's too fast? Do you know that if you follow this growth cycle, it will be ready for slaughter in just one month? What is the difference between this and the kind of broiler chickens sold in the market? They are all the same as those that are ripened!"
"How long does it take for broiler chickens on the market to be ready for slaughter?" Chen Mo really didn't know this and didn't check it. Now he could only ask Dahai.
"About 40 to 50 days, this is an ordinary broiler chicken. Some broiler chickens need a little longer, such as three-yellow chickens, which last about 65 days. These chickens are basically raised on formulated feed."
The formulated feeds Dahai mentioned are some ripening feeds on the market. These feeds also contain many kinds of drugs to prevent poultry and other diseases, as well as some nutrients configured for the growth cycle of poultry. Only in this way can the chicks
It was ready for sale in just about 40 days.
Fortunately, inspections in some places are stricter, so in the 35 to 40 days before the chickens are released, they basically eat ordinary feed instead of formulated feed to facilitate the metabolism of drug residues in their bodies. As for this breeding procedure,
Only people from the Quarantine Bureau know how many breeding farms comply with this.
Also, when feeding poultry, some people do not purchase qualified feed proportions due to cost reasons, and instead purchase some black feed. This is discussed here. However, these have nothing to do with Chen Mo. What he is concerned about is
Home affairs.
"What do we usually feed?" Chen Mo asked.
"Originally, we were going to feed some grain bran and the like, which we bought from the market. Didn't you tell us not to feed them? But we have a good collection of bugs, and there are a lot of bugs every day. Now we just eat bugs.
, I feed less grain bran and the like." Dahai said.
I really admire the drug that Chen Mo made to attract insects. I didn't expect that people who have gone to college and learned biological knowledge are different. Just configure a few things, not only solve the trouble, but also recycle waste.
"Since that's the case and you haven't eaten anything randomly, what do you have to worry about?"
"No, this chicken grows too fast!"
“It’s not a good thing to grow fast, but what’s better if you grow slowly?”
"No, I'm worried..."
"Ha! What's there to worry about? Don't worry. As long as you manage it well and don't feed it randomly, there will be absolutely no problem."
Chen Mo said, in fact, he has not yet said that these chickens will never develop chicken plague or even get sick, because all harmful bacteria and the like have been purified due to the purification array.
"By the way, grab a few chickens now, give two to the workers, and give two to my uncle, so that everyone can have a taste of this little chicken that grew up eating bugs at noon." Chen Mo said.
Dahai also rolled his eyes. Since Chen Mo said that nothing happened, he would no longer worry about anything. It was also a good time to try the quality of his own chickens and see how they grew up eating bugs.
How is the taste.
"Erwa, look at the chicken coop and everything has been improved now. Should we sell back the calves of the cows, pigs, and sheep?"
"Let's go see the barn first!"
Chen Mo has not visited the livestock shed since it was built. As a farmer, he is really unqualified.
Since the land is relatively small and much of it is used by other animals, the remaining breeding area is relatively small. Only about 50 cattle can be fed, and about 200 pigs and sheep can be fed each.
The place is still too small! Looking around, Chen Mo even thought about converting all the hillside land into a breeding area so that he could diversify his livestock, but after thinking about it, he decided not to buy these things as much as plant essential oils.
?Besides, raising cows, pigs, sheep, etc. will be for your own use in the future, so there is no need to raise them on a large scale.
