Rich Farmers only built 10 breeding buildings, which have already been completed, and central air conditioning is being installed.

In addition to the central air conditioner, the breeding building also has a ventilation system, washing equipment for automatically cleaning the pigsty, and automatic feeding equipment...

"If we raise pigs, we plan to raise 1000 pigs per floor. Every two floors are a production unit, and only 5 staff are needed. The more work of the staff is not to raise, but to check the health of the pigs and maintain equipment... ..." Bai Xiaoou said and looked at Brett: "How many employees do you have on one floor?"

"The breeding building?"

"Ah."

"Breeding building, we designed a three-story building for a production unit with 10 people. One team leader, five veterinarians, two breeders, and two technicians. After the technology matures, we will prepare a building Only 15 staff members are required." Bright briefly said, "Go and have a look later."

The rich peasant company is in a mess, installing all kinds of equipment.After walking two floors, Bai Xiaoou called the breeding technicians from the previous company to Hegu Animal Husbandry Company. The project here was completed a few days ago.

Thirty breeding buildings are divided into areas A, B, and C, and 10 buildings form one area.

There are three districts, each district is 700 meters apart, and there is an isolation zone. The isolation zone is the lychee tree transplanted from the Yunshan Ranch, and the big lychee trees are planted a little densely.

The three areas are not connected to each other, and there are fences in the construction. A 3.5-meter-wide asphalt road connects the gates of the three areas.

When entering the Rich Farm Company, you first pass through an automatic disinfection station, where disinfectant water is sprayed out to disinfect the car in all directions.After entering, to enter Area A, the car is parked outside, people get out of the car and distribute masks, a set of plastic thin coats like raincoats, and they are allowed to enter after wearing them...

In Area A, No. 1 is the breeding pig building, and No. 2 is the breeding sheep building.In this way, the interval between each building is more than [-] meters. There is also a dense green belt in the middle of the building, and there are also dense large lychee trees. These lychee trees are more than two meters high.The building has not been built yet, and greening is already being planted. These lychee trees are lush with leaves, and there are still a few mature lychees hanging on some trees...

When entering Building 1, there is a sewage tank on the bottom floor, which occupies one-third of the space.The other two-thirds of the space is the batching room, and the prepared feed is directly sent to the batching elevator for inspection and sent to the upper floor...

The batching workshop in the pedestrian area took a look. There were only a few workers in the workshop. After looking at it, they went directly to the 2nd floor, 3rd floor... and looked at several floors one by one.

The breeding farm has achieved high automation. If it is just breeding, there are more than 800 breeding pigs on one floor, and only one breeder can easily complete the work, and it also includes cleaning, daily disinfection and other tasks.These are all references to other automated pig farms...

Now, there are about 25 staff members in a pig building.

The pig farm does not mean that the more people there are, the more people there will be. On the contrary, if the work can be reasonably arranged, there will be fewer and fewer breeding personnel.Saving labor costs is one thing, but more importantly, there are too many people, and it is easy to bring in the source of infection... Therefore, the number of staff should be reduced as much as possible.

Wang Xinghua and the others have been learning how to raise pigs before, and have participated in the working environment of simulating high-rise breeding, but they were still shocked when they entered the pig raising building for the first time.

It's July, and the temperature outside is close to 40 degrees, and the sun is big.And the temperature in the pig building does not exceed 30 degrees, it should be around 25 degrees.There is central air conditioning, larger exhaust fans...

The stocking density is somewhat high, but not particularly high.The pig house was clean, someone secretly took off the mask, but there was no special smell, it was very clean...

Air conditioners, ventilation systems, automatic feeding systems, water guns for automatically flushing pig houses, and sewage tanks, the sewage tanks are also specially designed... there are many incomprehensible equipment inside.

"This is a bacteria detection instrument, an infrared sterilizing robot..." Brett introduced: "This can reduce the use of disinfectant. The most important thing for a pig farm is to keep it clean, with a balanced dryness and humidity."

"Mr. Brett, roughly how much is the investment in this pig breeding building. We raise meat pigs and don't breed piglets ourselves. The investment in a building is too high, and we can't afford it."

"For such a breeding building, in order to meet the construction schedule, the cost of a building is 2450 million yuan, including equipment investment." Bright said: "Pig raising in a high-rise building is actually similar to raising pigs in a rural pigpen. It should be said that Raising pigs in rural pigpens is also hygienic and safe.”

It is indeed a lot more hygienic. As for safety, it needs to be verified...

Anyone who has raised pigs in the countryside knows that the pigsty cannot be particularly clean.But the pigsty here is clean, even the pigs are not dirty...

"To raise pigs in high-rise buildings, keep them clean and disinfect them frequently. These are the two minimum points. Then there is isolation. Staff who enter the pig building must wear masks, and staff from different units must be prohibited from frequently visiting each other... That is, it is forbidden to go to other areas during work. These tasks are not difficult, the difficulty lies in the implementation, and some things must be strictly enforced."

Wang Xinghua nodded: "I don't know if we can carry out targeted training for us."

"There's no problem with that."

"Boss Chen..." Wang Xinghua looked at Chen Mo: "The feed mix for raising pigs is the most economical choice. Can you provide us with some feed selection options?"

"No problem." Chen Mo pointed to the stairs: "Let's go out and talk."

The difficulty of high-rise breeding lies in how to prevent the epidemic, and to do the epidemic prevention work to the limit and strictly implement it.The rest is up to luck... In fact, it is not as terrible as imagined.

How to choose feed depends on what pigs are going to be raised.

Regardless of the quality of pigs, they are now divided into feed pigs, grain pigs, and grass-fed pigs.

Feed pigs grow fast. If you buy a 30-jin piglet and raise it to 200-jin for slaughter, and feed the whole process...the cost of feed plus the cost of medicines, excluding labor expenses and other investments...about 700 yuan.The feeding cycle is about 100 days.

Grain pigs are also raised at 30 catties, and they are raised to 200 catties for slaughter...about 1200 yuan...the feeding cycle is more than 200 days.

Grass-raised pigs...about 400 yuan...the feeding cycle is more than 300 days.

The longer the breeding cycle, the greater the risk.In a comprehensive comparison, feed feeding has the least risk...

But the meat quality, the meat quality of feed pigs is the worst.Grain pigs have the best meat quality... As for grass-raised pigs, they are definitely the best for making bacon and ham, because the meat is firmer.

Back at the ranch, Chen Mo called Kang Si out and asked him to list various feed ratios and feeding methods.

Kons knows a lot about feeding cattle and sheep.But raising pigs, they have only just begun to try it here, everything is just a prediction...
