Rebirth 1975: Tore up the call-back order at the beginning

Babaoliang Village. The Zhou family!

On the big kang, Zhou Yang listened to Qin Xueyi's unhurried talk about the research progress of their laboratory, and he was also very happy.

According to Qin Xueyi, since he first arrived in Babaoliang Village in September last year, he has been studying the subject of Landrace pig breed improvement.

Although this topic has been done by the agriculture and animal husbandry school in recent years, due to reasons such as the number of breeding and lack of funds, there has been no progress.

But with the arrival of Gu Ning and others, coupled with the injection of a large amount of funds from the village, their research ushered in the dawn.

A few months ago, Qin Xueyi was accidentally inspired by Zhou Yang and thought that the purpose of optimizing and improving the Landrace pig breed could be achieved by crossbreeding local breeds and Landrace pigs.

And his idea was also supported by Gu Ning, and then he led the researchers in the laboratory to carry out research in this area.

One and a half months ago, the sows raised in the village gave birth to piglets one after another, including more than a dozen Landrace sows who were used as experimental subjects.

After comparison, Qin Xueyi and others were gratified to find that the crossbreeding of local breeding pigs and Landrace pigs not only has more piglets, but also greatly improves the disease resistance and growth speed of the piglets born, with obvious advantages.

Especially in terms of disease resistance and adaptability, it is not comparable to the old breed of piglets.

Since all sows are the first litter, the number of litters is generally small. Ordinary Landrace sows can only give birth to seven or eight babies, and even six or seven babies a little less.

However, the sows after hybridization can give birth to at least 10 piglets, and even as many as 12 or 3 piglets.

Moreover, there are always one or two small piglets of ordinary Landrace pigs who die young due to various reasons, but the survival rate of small piglets produced by hybridization is significantly higher.

Afterwards, Qin Xueyi and others sent the relevant experimental data back to the school. After demonstrating their research results, the school immediately applied to the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry for the certification of the results.

After receiving the application, the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry immediately sent an expert group to Babaoliang Village for investigation and review. After a series of strict review and discussions, the experts agreed that their project had made a major breakthrough.

However, since the improvement of new livestock breeds is an extremely serious matter, the province decided to send their research results to the capital for review.

Once this result passes the examination and approval of the capital, it will be great, and their new variety may even be promoted nationwide.

After listening to Qin Xueyi's words, Zhou Yang was also a little excited.

He said happily: "Teacher Qin and Professor Gu are so kind, congratulations!"

To be honest, Zhou Yang really didn't expect Qin Xueyi and others to make a breakthrough so quickly.

We must know that breed improvement, like their research, does not happen overnight. Sometimes it may not be possible to make a breakthrough in three to five years, and it may even take decades of hard work to succeed.

But Qin Xueyi and the others have only been stationed in Babaoliang Village for more than a year now.

In such a short period of time, the breakthrough of such a major topic has been completed, and the efficiency is really shocking.

Facing Zhou Yang's congratulations, Qin Xueyi said modestly: "We could have achieved such an achievement thanks to your inspiration and the strong support of the village. Thank you, and thanks to the folks in Babaoliang Village!"

"Hahaha, it should be. This is also the good cause of our school. If it weren't for the generosity of Dean Kang last year, there would not be such an important way to get rich in the village!"

Then Zhou Yang said again: "So, let's stop thanking you and tell us what your plans are going to be?"

At this time, Gu Ning said, "Comrade Zhou Yang, we plan to cross-breed all the remaining sows in the village, and then conduct long-term observation of the new breed. But this is related to the interests of the village next year, so I want to ask for it." your opinion!"

Zhou Yang immediately said: "This is a good thing, I fully support it, and I will try my best to persuade other cadres in the village to cooperate with you!"

"That's really good!"

Then Gu Ning said again: "In addition, we think that with the current scale of the pig farm in the village, the number of 200 sows is still a bit small. We hope to increase the number of sows to 500, or even 800!"

"Professor Gu, 500 heads is not a big problem, but isn't 800 heads too much?" Zhou Yang frowned.

"Comrade Zhou Yang, it seems that you don't know much about the current situation in the village!"

"What's wrong?"

Gu Ning immediately said: "During this period of time, we have been paying attention to the autumn harvest in the village. According to our statistics, the village has harvested more than 3500 tons of sugar beets, almost 2500 tons of corn stalks, and more than 1000 tons of other crops. Straw."

"That is to say, even without buying straw from other villages, theoretically the village can use more than 7000 tons of raw materials for feed!"

“而一吨原料可以生产1.6吨生物饲料，7000吨原料的话，便可以生产一万1000多吨饲料。而一头母猪一年消耗的饲料不过1.2吨左右，800头也不过1000多吨！”

Perhaps because he was worried that he would not be able to convince Zhou Yang, Gu Ning said again: "Comrade Zhou Yang, let me do another calculation for you. A sow can give birth to two piglets a year, and one time is calculated as 10 piglets, that is, 20 piglets. Piggy."

"Right now, the normal price of a piglet is about 10 yuan, and 20 piglets is a profit of 200 yuan. 800 sows, if the added value is not included, the profit is about 16 yuan a year."

"What does Professor Gu mean by added value?"

"The village has its own pig farm, and these little piglets can be raised by themselves and sold for a lot of money. This saves the money to buy piglets, and directly improves the efficiency of raising pigs!" Gu Ning said.

"Well, Professor Gu, you have successfully convinced me, so let's do it according to your ideas!" Zhou Yang said.

"Thank you for your support!"

At this time Zhou Yang suddenly remembered the matter Wang Ping told him the day before yesterday, and immediately said to Qin Xueyi: "Mr. Qin, I have something to ask you!"

"I don't dare to ask for advice, just say what you want!"

"It's like this. The county is going to the pastoral area to buy cattle, sheep, mules and horses again. Wang Zhishu and the others are not sure whether to buy a batch of them. After all, you are experts in this field. Based on the situation in our village, do you think it is worthwhile? Don't you need to join in the fun?" Zhou Yang said.

Qin Xueyi thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's necessary!"

"What's the reason?"

"Not worth it!"

Then Qin Xueyi said: "First of all, the output ratio of raising cattle and sheep is too small. Compared with raising pigs, cattle and sheep need too much feed, and the time for slaughtering is too long. One cattle and sheep can raise several pigs." .”

"Secondly, the raw material reserves in the village are too small, and the feed production capacity is too weak, which is not enough to support us to feed so many large animals!"

Hearing this, Zhou Yang said in surprise: "That's not right, didn't Professor Gu just say that there are more than 7000 tons of raw materials in the village, which can produce more than 1000 tons of feed. Why can't it be enough?"

Qin Xueyi said with a smile: "Then do you know how many animals there are in the village?"

"I really don't know about this!" Zhou Yang said.

"I know!"

随后秦学义再次说道：“眼下村里有528只羊、58头牛、42匹马、21头骡子以及33头驴！”

"So many?" Zhou Yang said with a look of surprise.

He remembered that most of the cattle, sheep, mules and horses were disposed of at the beginning of spring, but he was relieved when he thought that the livestock had the ability to reproduce.

However, Qin Xueyi smiled and said again: "This is only the number of large animals. In addition, there are 200 large sows, 460 meat pigs about to be slaughtered, 1460 newborn piglets and 1.2 piglets in the village. Chicken!"

"Do you know how much feed so many animals consume in a day? The bottom line is more than 10 tons, and as the cubs of those animals grow up, the demand will increase."

Qin Xueyi's words really shocked Zhou Yang. He really didn't expect that the current breeding industry in the village would be so big.

In particular, the chicken farm has grown to a scale of more than 2 chickens in just a few months since it started in February.

With so many cattle, sheep, mules, horses, pigs and chickens, plus an unprecedented bumper harvest, Zhou Yang really didn't know how terrifying the village's income would be this year.

Seeing Zhou Yang's shocked expression, Qin Xueyi, Gu Ning and others couldn't help laughing.

At the same time, everyone's faces were full of pride and pride. After all, they also contributed to the development of the village!

Afterwards, everyone exchanged opinions on the development of the Yang breeding industry in the village.

In the end, under Zhou Yang's strong persuasion, Qin Xueyi and the others left after eating the stewed mutton at Zhou's house!
