1968: Started from breeding

Chapter 51 (Please read on!) Why is this chicken farm more advanced than theirs?

After the tractor stopped.

Jiang Li, who came with the car, and Hou Guozhong, who was exiled from Shiquan Chicken Farm, also got off the car together.

After getting off the car.

Jiang Li rubbed her butt.

"Ah! I was almost shaken to pieces on the way! I don't know how drivers who drive every day can keep going."

Su Wenchen smiled.

"It's nothing. When you go to the fields to experience it during the autumn harvest, you'll realize it's no big deal."

In his era, autumn harvest was definitely one of the hardest and most tiring jobs.

Because it requires long hours and high-intensity physical labor, autumn harvest is usually accompanied by high temperatures. It can be said that getting sunburned is the least of the problems.

Seeing Jiang Li's fatigue, Su Wenchen said again.

"Go back and have a rest first. We'll settle the money you paid tomorrow with the brigade accountant."

Jiang Li nodded.

"That's fine. Anyway, I won't be of much use here. I'll just go back and rest first!"

"Go and have a rest, you've helped enough today!"

Su Wenchen knew clearly that if Jiang Li hadn't been there today, he might have been able to get these chickens, but it would have cost him a lot more.

You have to be humble enough to ask for help, or even be manipulated by others, in order to achieve your goal.

Big companies are all like this!
If you meet someone with a backer, everything will be easy. But if you meet someone without a backer, how can he be worthy of his position if he doesn't put on airs and try to take advantage of you?

On the other side, Hou Guozhong, who was exiled here, looked at the scene in front of him with disappointment.

Although I was mentally prepared.

But when I really came to this chicken farm without even a wall, I couldn't help feeling lost.

However, amidst the disappointment, there was also a hint of relief, as selling it to a small chicken farm like this was better than selling it to a supply and marketing cooperative.

Sell it here, in general, we can continue to breed new hybrid varieties!

If they are sold to the supply and marketing cooperative, they will be sold as broiler chickens.

Su Wenchen also saw the disappointment in Hou Guozhong's eyes.

"Master Hou, the conditions here are a little difficult, but don't worry, with this batch of hens, we will definitely improve the conditions slowly."

"Come on, I'll take you to have a tour of the chicken coop first."

Then he turned to Su's father who came from the crowd and said, "Dad, call a few strong helpers to unload the car. I will go in with Master Hou to settle the chickens first!"

Father Su immediately nodded and agreed.

"Okay, you go inside to meet them, and I'll take care of the unloading."

Su Wenchen took Hou Guozhong into the chicken coop.

"Master Hou, this is our material warehouse, which usually stores some ingredients. The main ingredient, corn, is stored in the brigade warehouse."

Hou Guozhong took a look and found that it was all several bags of powder.

"Your feed is a little different. Why is it all powder?"

Su Wenchen smiled and said, "They are all river clams and leftover bones collected from nearby. You also know that our brigade is definitely not as wealthy as your state-owned farm. The conditions are poor, so naturally we feed them whatever we can."

In Su Wenchen's mind, Hou Guozhong is now someone else's employee after all. Even if he is being excluded, Su Wenchen would not expect that he would be open-hearted to him from the beginning.

Of course, he would not reveal all his secrets. He could not hide the raw materials because others could easily see them when making feed. But he would not reveal the specific ratio, at least not now. Maybe when their chicken farm is big enough and it doesn't matter, he might consider revealing it.

In addition, the reason why he agreed to send Hou Guozhong over was that he wanted to take this opportunity to train their own breeding technicians.

When the chicken farm expands in size, I can't rely on him for everything! I won't be trapped in the chicken farm forever.

Raising chickens is just the beginning!
Ever since they were at the river, Su Wenchen knew that any animal he had fed could open the panel.

Su Wenchen decided at that time that he would not develop just one industry.

Hou Guozhong looked at the ingredients in the feed bin but didn't pay much attention to them. He knew that most people in the countryside would just feed the pigs what was available nearby.

He even felt that if the chicken farm did not raise so many chickens and the nutritional value of the ingredients alone was not enough, the chicken farm in this brigade might not feed them corn feed.

Leave the silo.

After entering the chicken coop where the hens were, Hou Guozhong's eyes suddenly lit up.

At first he thought that the way of raising fish here was traditional free-range.

Unexpectedly, the other party also used the cage-raising method like their chicken farm.

Hou Guozhong even felt that the other party's bamboo cage design was more reasonable, as the iron cages at their Shiquan chicken farm were square in shape.

There is a feeding trough in the middle of the cage. Every time the chickens are fed, they gather in a circle to eat. Some chickens often fight while eating.

However, the bamboo cage here is made into a very long rectangle, with a feeding trough made by breaking a long bamboo. In this way, the hen can eat directly by just sticking her head out from the edge of the cage close to the trough.

This not only prevents chickens from fighting, but also makes daily feeding and cleaning of the troughs much more convenient.

When Hou Guozhong saw the wooden board below, he was a little confused.

"What's the point of putting a wooden board underneath? To prevent the eggs from falling? But the chicken droppings will also fall on it!"

Su Wenchen explained.

"That's the manure tray used to hold chicken manure. In our chicken coop, manure doesn't fall to the ground. Every day, we take out the full manure tray and transport it to a special place with a cart."

“This can also effectively prevent the growth of germs in the chicken house!”

When Hou Guozhong heard this, he couldn't believe it.

Is it still possible? The manure does not fall to the ground? It is cleaned up every day. Why is the concept of this chicken farm more advanced than theirs?
As an old breeding technician, he knows very well that many pathogens are indeed produced from feces.

But their chicken farm has not yet achieved the level of not letting the manure fall to the ground and cleaning it up every day.

Well, otherwise there probably wouldn’t be chicken plague.

Now I actually saw it in a chicken farm that is so small that it can’t be any smaller.

he asked curiously.

"Won't this increase your workload?"

Su Wenchen waved his hand.

"It's okay. If you clean it every day, there isn't much chicken manure, and you can just scrape it off easily. It only takes about ten minutes."

"We have prepared two manure trays in each area so that they can be cleaned and rotated every day to maximize the health of the hens."

Hou Guozhong nodded frequently as he listened. He didn't expect that this chicken farm was so concerned about the health of the chickens.

For the first time, he felt that being exiled here was not a bad thing!
He could continue to breed and hybridize better chicken breeds here.

Humph, when the time comes, he will definitely let Lao Miao and the others know that giving up this batch of hens is the most wrong decision they have ever made.

They will definitely regret it!
