The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 177 Does it grow too fast?
After he came out from his parents, his jumping heart finally fell back. 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 is so keen on this matter!

He didn't drive back to the old house, but went to see a circle of vegetable fields first.It all feels good, everything is normal.

In addition to Chen Jingui's doubtful face, the vegetables in this vegetable field are growing so well and growing too fast, which makes him, an old farmer, not believe in life.

However, after Chen Mo explained last time, although he still had some doubts in his heart, he forced himself to believe what Chen Mo said. There is no cultural knowledge other than that, since Erwa said it is in line with science, so be it.

"Er wa, that fish pond has almost been disinfected, and we're going to change the water tomorrow. Do you think you're going to release the fish at that time?" Seeing Chen Mo appearing on the ground, Dahai hurried over and said.

Since Dahai is in charge of raising fish ponds and other livestock, he came over to urge him.

"Okay, after you change the water tomorrow and dry it for a few days, I will prepare the fish." Chen Mo agreed.

"Also, Erwa, can you go and see with me, the chicks we raise are not normal." Dahai said.

"Why isn't it normal?"

Chen Mo and Dahai came to the place where the slopes of the vegetable fields meet. This is the livestock breeding area, but because the place is not very big, that is, about a hundred acres, and it is all slopes, so there will not be many livestock to be raised here. Sheep and pigs are not introduced yet.

At this time, the breeding building for the animal storage has been built, and all the electrical equipment that needs to be configured, such as ventilation fans, have been configured, and they are waiting to buy the cubs.

However, because the vegetable field in front was full of bugs, Dahai urgently bought thousands of chickens, and the problem was with these chickens.It is Ma Youwei and another villager who are taking care of the chicken now, and when they see Chen Mo coming over, they also smile honestly.

"Erwa, look at these chicks." Dahai pointed to the chicks in the chicken coop.The chicken coop is newly rebuilt and very large, so now there are a thousand chickens in it, which is a bit empty.

Moreover, Chen Mo's chickens are raised in free range mode. Since there is a fence around them, except for 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 smell that smells 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're all very lively. Hmm! You've taken good care of them!" Chen Mo saw thousands of chickens running back and forth, vying to peck for food. They were all normal, but looked at the sea with some doubts.

"It's normal? Erba, can you think about it, I bought these chicks less than half a month ago, look, they are only this big, is this normal?" Dahai was suddenly dissatisfied. For the partners who grew up together, even if they rely on Chen Mo for food now, they still have to say what they have, which is also responsible for work.

Chen Mo turned to look at the chicks in the chicken coop, eh!It's really big!The chicks bought back 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 fast!" Chen Mo said.

"What is a little fast? Do you know that if you follow this growth cycle, you will be able to go to the market in a month. How is this different from the broiler chickens sold in the market? They are all the same as those that have been ripened!"

"How long does it take for broiler chickens in the market to be slaughtered?" Chen Mo really didn't know this, and he didn't inquire about it, so he could only ask Da Hai at the moment.

"Around 40 to 50 days, this is an ordinary broiler chicken. Some broilers need more, such as three yellow chickens, it takes about 65 days. These chickens are basically raised on the configured feed."

The configured feed that Dahai mentioned is some ripening feed on the market.These feeds also contain many kinds of medicines, which are used to prevent poultry and other diseases, and some nutrients are configured according to the growth cycle of poultry. Only in this way can the chickens be slaughtered in about 40 days.

Fortunately, some places have more stringent inspections, so in the 35 to 40 days before the chickens go out to slaughter, they basically eat ordinary feed instead of formulated feed, so as to metabolize the drug residues in their bodies.As for how many farms follow this breeding procedure, only the people from the Quarantine Bureau know.

In addition, when feeding poultry, due to cost reasons, some people do not purchase qualified proportioned feed, and buy some black feed for feeding. There is something to say here.But these have nothing to do with Chen Mo, what he cares about is his own affairs.

"What do we usually feed?" Chen Mo asked.

"I was going to feed some chaff and the like, and I bought them from the market. Didn't you tell me that you can't feed them? But our bug collection is good, and there are a lot of bugs every day. Now we eat bugs , Feed less chaff and the like." Dahai said.

I really admire the medicine that Chen Mo made to lure bugs.I didn't expect that people who have gone to college and studied biology are different. If you configure a little thing casually, you can solve troubles and recycle waste.

"Since this is the case, and you haven't eaten anything indiscriminately, what do you have to worry about?"

"No, this chicken grows too fast!"

"It's not a good thing to grow fast, is it good to grow slowly?"

"No, I'm worried..."

"Ha! There is nothing to worry about, don't worry, as long as you manage it well and don't feed things randomly, there will be absolutely no problem."

Chen Mo said, in fact, he has not said that these chickens will never have chicken plague or even get sick, because of the purification array, all harmful bacteria and the like have been purified.

"By the way, grab a few chickens now, give two to the workers, and give two to my uncle, so that everyone can taste this little chicken that grew up eating bugs at noon." Chen Mo said.

Dahai also rolled his eyes, since Chen Mo said that there was nothing else to do, then he didn't worry about anything anymore.It's also just right, try the quality of the chicken raised at home, and see how the chicken that grew up eating bugs tastes like.

"Erba, look at the chicken coop and everything. Are we going to sell the cubs of cows, pigs, and sheep?"

"Let's go and see the barn first!"

Chen Mo hasn't visited the barn since it was built. As a farmer, he is really unqualified.

Since the land is relatively small, and many of them are used for other purposes, the remaining breeding area is relatively small.About 50 cattle can be satisfied, and about 200 pigs and sheep can be fed respectively.

The place is still too small!Turning around and looking around, Chen Mo wanted to turn all the hillside land into a breeding area so that he could diversify his livestock, but after thinking about it, let it go, how can these things cost as much as plant essential oils?Besides, raising cows, pigs, sheep, etc. will be used by oneself in the future, so there is no need for large-scale breeding.
