1988: Back to the human world for a few years

Chapter 190 Accountability (2)

No matter what breed of broiler chickens, as long as they are raised on a large scale, there are several vaccines that must be given after the chicks enter the house.

They are: Newcastle disease vaccine, bursal disease vaccine, and fowl cholera oil vaccine.

These vaccines are just general terms. They not only include several different specific vaccine models and combination plans, but also, like the vaccination of children in later generations, the dosage and injection time of these broiler vaccines also have specific and strict requirements.

However, it is obvious that Panjin Animal Husbandry Company has some omissions in this regard.

Tugou, who had personally monitored the Fifth Farm many times and carefully consulted Huang and Li, two expert teachers from the Poultry Research Institute of Qilu Academy of Agricultural Sciences, immediately saw the problem from the work log and some reactions of the chickens.

………………

"According to the regulations in the 817 Broiler Breeding Manual, what should be done on the tenth day after the chicks are placed in the house?"

Lu Yingying stared at the two middle-aged men, one Chinese and one young, with a fierce look on her face.

The middle-aged man had an unsightly look on his face. He pursed his lips and said nothing. His expression contained strong resistance and displeasure.

The young man answered honestly: "According to the manual, the chicks must be vaccinated for the first time on the tenth day after entering the house, namely: Newcastle disease infectious disease bivalent inactivated vaccine, Newcastle disease infectious disease bivalent multivalent live vaccine, and Fabricius bursal disease live vaccine."

Lv Yingying nodded, still staring at the middle-aged man: "Technician Ma, I want to ask you, do you still remember the usage and dosage of these three vaccines in the "817 Broiler Breeding Manual Specifications"? "

Hearing that he was called, the middle-aged man's face became even more unhappy. He glanced at the crowd and the leader next to him, and then answered in a muffled voice: "Newcastle disease and infectious diseases bivalent inactivated vaccine 0.4 ml subcutaneous injection, Newcastle disease and infectious diseases bivalent multivalent live vaccine eye drops and nasal drops 2 times, bursal disease live vaccine 1.5-2 times drinking water... I have been in this industry for more than ten years. Manager Lu, you don't have to test me on such superficial and basic questions."

As if she didn't hear the contempt in the middle-aged man's tone, Lu Yingying tilted her head and stared at him for a long time, until the middle-aged man's scalp was numb, she nodded indifferently: "It turns out that Technician Ma still remembers the contents of the manual."

As he said this, he glanced at the chicks beside him, and without caring whether his clothes and pants would get dirty, he stepped straight into the chicken coop, reached out and grabbed a chick in his hand, and skillfully pulled the chick's two little wings back, and the little thing immediately lost any ability to resist.

After lifting the chicks above her head for everyone to see, Lv Yingying looked at the middle-aged man calmly, "It has been 16 days since the second batch of broiler chickens from your factory arrived at the shed... According to the guidance standards in the manual, the weight of 817 broilers should reach 14g per chicken when they are 260 days old, and at least 16g when they are 300 days old."

As she spoke, Lu Yingying first weighed the thing, then signaled her assistant to bring over the electronic scale that she had borrowed earlier, and put the chicken on it...

223g!

Seeing this weight which was obviously lower than normal, everyone looked a little embarrassed.

This is not the end. After weighing the chicken, Lv Yingying picked it up again: "The weight of the chicken is obviously lower than the normal standard, the chirping voice is hoarse, the reaction is slow, the movement is slow, the eyes are dull, and the body is slightly twitching..."

Hearing these words coming out of Lv Yingying's mouth, everyone suddenly became nervous, fearing that the beautiful manager of the quality control department would say words like chicken plague or epidemic.

Seeing the nervous expressions on everyone's faces, Lv Yingying smiled and said, "Don't worry, everyone. 817 broilers have good resistance and are not prone to chicken plague... At least, the skinny chicken in my hand is not the result of the disease."

Lv Yingying returned her gaze to the middle-aged man. "The reason why the chicks in my hand are like this is that during the first stage of vaccination, that is, at 10 days old, the amount of vaccine injected was too large, causing a certain degree of damage to the chicks' nervous system. As a chain reaction, the chicks' mobility and vitality decreased, and they had no appetite... They were listless and couldn't eat, so the chicks' weight naturally couldn't increase!"

"Tell me, does my analysis make sense...Technician Ma?"

The middle-aged man's expression became increasingly ugly, but he kept his mouth tightly shut and said nothing.

Seeing this, Lv Yingying sneered: "Large-scale broiler breeding is a systematic project. If one link goes wrong, all the subsequent links will be affected... Just like a child, if they eat less and move less, their resistance will naturally be poor and they will be more likely to get sick."

"Because the chicken house was not emptied for long enough, the bacteria in the chicken house may have exceeded the standard, which is a huge safety hazard... It's like letting your children live in a house full of garbage and bacteria;"

"Now, due to improper vaccination operations, the nervous systems of a large number of chickens have been damaged and their activity has been reduced. The risk of future disease outbreaks has increased sharply... Could it be that everyone still hasn't realized the seriousness of this problem!?"

Hearing Lu Yingying use the most simple metaphor to describe the relationship, everyone's expressions suddenly changed, and they all looked at the thousands of chicks in the chicken coop, as if they wanted to see if there were any chicks that seemed a little strange.

Seeing this, Lv Yingying said expressionlessly, "Don't worry, everyone. This chick is not the only one with mild nervous system damage... According to my observations and calculations just now, there are no less than 1 chicks with the same symptoms in the No. 600 chicken house... Your factory has many irregular operations in the breeding process, and with all these unfavorable factors piling up... If nothing unexpected happens, these hundreds of chicks will not survive to be put into the market!"

These words, almost like a verdict, were spoken to everyone, but Lu Yingying's eyes were always fixed on the middle-aged man. The implication was very clear... If you take responsibility on the spot, then you only need to bear the responsibility for the vaccine injection; but if you insist on being stubborn and wait until broiler chickens die on a large scale, I'm afraid all the blame for the rest of the subsequent links will be put on you, so just don't cry then.

The middle-aged man recalled the beautiful manager's assertion that "at least 1/1 of the chickens in Chicken House No. 3 will die", and recalled the terrible consequences of being blamed for most of the problems. His psychological defenses collapsed immediately, and he gritted his teeth and said, "I admit that there were irregularities in the first phase of vaccination. The subcutaneous injection volume of the Newcastle disease virus bivalent inactivated vaccine for some chicken seedlings was not 0.4 ml... Some exceeded the standard, and some were insufficient... but I don't know to what extent the standard was exceeded."

After these words were spoken, the employees of Panjin Livestock Company did not react, but several staff members of Qingfeng Food became very emotional. If there had not been a leader present, they would have rushed up and punched him a few times.

Qingfeng Foods is currently implementing a project responsibility system. The benefits of all members of their two groups are directly linked to the broiler output rate and quality of the Panjin Livestock Company.

That is to say, if the broiler breeding project of Panjin Livestock Company is done well, their bonuses will be doubled and promotion will be a matter of minutes; but if there is a problem in any link, they will be held accountable... Everyone has seen the punishment that the staff including the team leaders of Group 2 have just received. It is not light, but they all know that it is not the most severe punishment!
It is precisely because of this responsibility mechanism with extremely high returns and risks that they have been working tirelessly around the project 24 hours a day these days. During the day, they beg the staff here to cooperate with their work like grandchildren, and even turn themselves into handymen to help them with the hard work within their ability; at night, they pick up the hard-working spirit they had in school, and devour some animal husbandry books they begged for… There is no way, they are all novices who are involved in this kind of project for the first time, and no one teaches them how to do it. Apart from running around like flies and trying hard on their own, they have no other choice.

but……

They have worked hard for more than two months, but all their efforts have been wasted because of the other party's omissions in the first phase of vaccination work. How could they not be angry?
You know, the other party did not allow me and others to supervise the first phase vaccination of chickens on the grounds of "preventing bacterial contamination" and "interfering with vaccination work".

From this perspective, if broiler chickens really die on a large scale due to vaccination, the two groups of staff who will inevitably be held accountable will be more wronged than Dou E in this matter.

Lu Yingying glanced at the angry staff from Group 2 and looked at the middle-aged man in front of her calmly: "Technician Ma, you and the technicians in your vaccination room are all experienced veterans. Logically, such low-level mistakes should not occur... Why is this happening?"

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly and said, "Because we were short-handed that day, I could only ask the staff in Chicken House No. 1 to help with the vaccination... After all, your work log system is there, and the first phase of vaccination must be completed when the chicks are 10 days old."

Let workers who have no experience get vaccinated?

No wonder such a low-level mistake as exceeding the injection limit occurred, and no wonder he said that he didn’t even know how much the injection exceeded the limit!
Lu Yingying suppressed her anger and continued to ask, "As far as I know, there are eight technicians in your factory's vaccination room... If no one takes sick leave that day, there should be enough staff, right?"

Vaccinating chicks is different from giving vaccinations to humans. If the cooperation is good, it is normal for an experienced person to administer three to four thousand doses a day. Therefore, even if three vaccines are to be administered on the same day, for Panjin Animal Husbandry Company, which can only be regarded as a medium-sized broiler breeding project in the strict sense, eight technicians are enough. There is no need to take such a big risk and let those inexperienced employees help with the vaccination.

The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "In theory, we have enough manpower, but that's just theory... In fact, on the day of the vaccination, there were only five technicians in our vaccination room... The other three took leave a day in advance and went to the next county. There were several chicken farms in the townships there that needed to give broiler chickens a second-stage vaccine."

Although it is common these days for technical personnel of state-owned enterprises to go to sister units or lower-level units for technical assistance, this is not what the middle-aged man is referring to... It is normal if you think about it, how can a unit allow its own technical personnel to go elsewhere for technical assistance when it is about to get some important work done?

It is obvious that the reason why the three technicians went to Lin County is because those township chicken farms paid them high prices to do private work... This situation was very normal in the mid-to-late 1980s. Compared with the hoes wielded by private enterprises and township enterprises, let alone a livestock company, even if you are a technical backbone of a key optical instrument production unit, you will still be poached!
Lu Yingying turned her head to glance at several leaders of Panjin Livestock Company whose faces were as dark as the bottom of a pot not far away, and she understood in her heart... the so-called "leave" of the three technicians might not be real leave from the company, and even the leaders within their unit might not know about it. This kind of small move of internal members of the department covering for each other in private is really very common. The fact that they actually took private work at such a juncture shows the management level and employee cohesion of Panjin Livestock Company.

After thinking for a while, Lu Yingying stared at the middle-aged man in front of her coldly: "I just roughly calculated that even if there were only five technicians on that day, even if you asked inexperienced chicken coop workers to help with the vaccination, as long as they were patient and taught seriously, and supervised at the same time... there wouldn't be so many vaccinations exceeding the limit!"

Lv Yingying meant that the other party could use the method of "apprenticeship", that is, the technicians spend half a day or so to let the workers learn how to inject vaccines, and use small batches of chicks to practice. When the workers have mastered the basic tricks, the number of vaccinations will naturally increase. As long as he continues to supervise and correct mistakes, there will be no large-scale problems... Although this is a way to make up for the loss, and some chicks will still have problems due to improper operation, it is much better than wasting hundreds of chicks. The middle-aged man smiled bitterly: "Manager Lv, in fact, we were busy all morning that day, and then we found that no matter how fast we speeded up, we couldn't finish it on the same day with our own efforts... This can't be blamed entirely on us. After all, we have never done such a large-scale broiler breeding project before, and we have never encountered a regulatory cooperation unit like you who force yourself to complete three vaccinations in one day. The difficulty of the work is underestimated."

"After discovering this problem, we immediately thought of using apprentices to help us fix the problem. Logically, this method should work, but..."

At this point, the middle-aged man sighed in frustration: "After all, we technicians have been sitting in the office for too long. Not only do we know nothing about management, but we also don't know enough about the actual situation of the workers below."

Lu Yingying tilted her head and glanced at him: "Oh? What do you mean?"

The middle-aged man said in a depressed tone: "The workers below are hard to manage. Even if I persuaded the dormitory leader, they ignored my request and said it was not their job.

"Later, we smiled and promised to treat them to a big meal by cutting off half a pig, and only then did they agree to help us!"

Lu Yingying looked at him strangely: "Isn't this good? At least they are willing to help...but why did such a serious mistake happen in the end?"

The middle-aged man sighed, his face full of desolation: "Because when I convinced them, it was already three o'clock in the afternoon... So, they didn't care about my demonstration operation or my on-site corrections at all. They just did it in a convenient and fast way. As for the dosage standards, they didn't care at all... Anyway, this is not their job."

"Later, I got impatient and had a quarrel with them. They gave me two choices... Either I stop making a fuss and for the sake of the half pig, they help me get the vaccination; or they leave and I have to do all the work by myself."

"So... I really have no choice but to let them do whatever they want. Anyway, you said that 817 broilers have strong resistance and good vitality. As long as there is no large-scale death within three days after the vaccination, I think this matter can be concealed."

Lu Yingying was confused. "Because it was 3pm when we persuaded them, we had to let them do it... What kind of logic is this? If it doesn't work, you can just recruit five or six apprentices to help. With overtime, as long as they become more skilled, you can finish the vaccination in one day."

Unexpectedly, the middle-aged man looked at her with an even stranger expression: "I've made it so clear, Manager Lu still doesn't understand the reason?"

Lu Yingying was stunned. She looked at the onlookers around her who had equally strange expressions, and finally shook her head sincerely.

The middle-aged man sighed, "Because here, we get off work at 5:30 in the afternoon... Unless the company assigns you a task, or issues a task with overtime pay, who will work overtime for you?"

As he spoke, the middle-aged man pinched his brows and said, "In fact, I was thinking that a big reward would bring courage, so why not just spend some money and find a few employees to work overtime together... But even if I paid 5 yuan per person for overtime, only two people were willing to stay and help with the work."

"Heh, what can two people do...So, in the end, I can only agree to let them do what they want. What else can I do?"

Overtime?
Just for this?
Lu Yingying looked at the technician in front of her in disbelief. Strictly speaking, he had been severely cheated by a colleague in his own department.

She never expected that the people here would be so averse to overtime work, which has become commonplace at Qingfeng Food.

It's not free overtime. Apart from the fact that the overtime pay of 5 yuan per night is not low at the moment, these chicks are related to the performance of your unit next month, or even this year!
Have you forgotten how desperate your company was just a few months ago when it could barely pay salaries?

If nothing else, even for your own jobs and salaries, you shouldn't be so careless, right?

Seeing the gloating and self-righteous reactions of the onlookers around her, Lu Yingying suddenly felt powerless.

Yang Shidan once said that when an avalanche occurs, no snowflake is innocent.

Just as the safety issues detected in Chicken House No. 1 were a systemic incident, the problems hidden behind these accidents are not simple problems themselves.

Panjin Animal Husbandry Company...

I am really sick, and it’s a very serious illness!

Thinking of this, Lu Yingying's worries became more serious, and she became more and more uncertain about the joint breeding project, which had invested countless efforts and funds in it.

But no matter how worried you are, you still have to do your work.

Without pausing, Lv Yingying picked up the pen again and quickly wrote on the list: "For this Phase I vaccine incident, 80% of the responsibility lies with your factory, and 20% lies with Qingfengnian Foods."

"It is important to point out that Qingfeng Food's 20% responsibility has nothing to do with the entire staff of Group 2... The responsibility lies with the company's management."

"It was precisely because the embedded supervision and management system designed by the company was imperfect, and the company's management did not provide a mature work manual for the two groups of personnel, and did not strive for enough work entry space, that the two groups of staff were unable to intervene in the work of the first phase of the vaccine, resulting in a major safety accident at this time."

"In view of the extremely bad impact of the various problems and work attitudes reflected in the first phase of the vaccine injection accident, I suggest that Panjin Animal Husbandry Company be punished by deducting 15 points... As for the accountability of the technicians in the vaccination room and the rectification of subsequent work, it is up to your company to decide."

"As for Qingfeng Food, I suggest that all relevant department leaders, starting from Vice President Liu and down to my level, be fined 50 to 100 yuan according to their level, plus a written self-review... In addition, I suggest that the company revise the work process of the External Relations Department within a week, issue a more guiding work manual, and clearly divide the rights and responsibilities of staff at each level!"

Seeing that this woman was so ruthless that she even punished her own leader, and she did it right in front of him, everyone felt their cheeks twitching.

Damn, everyone says that Qingfeng Food, a township enterprise, is different from other companies.

I got to see it today.

Unlike Liu Xianfu who had a wry smile on his face, the staff of Group 2 were so grateful for having escaped death that their legs and feet became weak. Looking at the quality control manager who was as majestic as a little tiger, an irresistible desire emerged in their hearts.

How great it would be if I could work under Manager Lu!
Tugou obviously had no empathy with them at the moment. He handed the two penalty tickets, no, penalty opinion tickets, to the assistant with a weird expression, picked up the work log again, glanced at it, and said in a cold voice: "The daily lighting, temperature and humidity control management of chicken house No. 1 is in charge of which comrade in your factory is responsible. Which staff member is tracking and supervising Group 2? Please stand up."

"……I."

"I."

After two responses, a man and a woman stood up, but the way they looked at Tugou was very different.

One was trembling with fear, while the other was nervous and passionate.

Lu Yingying glanced at the two of them and snorted coldly, "Who can recite to me the regulations on light, temperature and humidity management in the 817 Broiler Breeding Manual Specifications?"

Unlike the middle-aged woman who avoided his gaze, the young man from Group 2 who looked only in his early twenties straightened his chest and said, "Manager Lu, I can recite it on the spot!"

Lu Yingying looked at the young man who seemed to have just been injected with chicken blood with a strange look, and nodded: "Okay, then you recite it... Try to recite it as loudly as possible so that everyone can hear it!"

The young man took a deep breath and said loudly: "Yes!"
