Chapter 643 Coming to the pasture
Standing by the reservoir, watching groups of small-weight fish pop up from time to time, Zhuang Haiyang, who observes mental power, also knows that the free-range fry lives well. Even the quality of these freshwater fish will definitely be beyond imagination in the future.
The longer you raise it, the more the nutrition and meat of these freshwater fish will be loved by diners!
After seeing Zhuang Haiyang, I also came to the poultry center that has already started breeding. The first thing I saw was the farm where the local pigs were raised. However, the local pigs currently farmed are wandering and foraging in the pine forest not far away.
The head of the breeding center who accompanied the inspection also introduced the breeding of these local pigs to Zhuang Haiyang. When he heard that the combination of captive and free-range pigs was growing well, Zhuang Haiyang naturally felt happy.
But he still said: "This is our breeding center. The first batch of local pigs raised are enough to ensure that they can be slaughtered by the end of the year. There is no need to slaughter in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you keep them for one or two months."
"Well! But the local pigs have entered the weight gain stage, and we also plan to raise another batch of pigs, so as to strive to produce a batch of pigs in half a year starting next year. The sows we raise should be able to give birth in a while."
"That's good! In the first year, we just need to learn from experience and ensure that the quality of the poultry that is slaughtered can meet the requirements I made earlier. In the later stage, it is best to cultivate all livestock by the breeding center.
The hundreds of acres of plantations next to them are also a supporting plantation for the breeding center. The crops such as sweet potatoes can also provide a lot of organic feed to poultry. If you need to gain weight, you must also use crops produced by the farm. Do you understand?"
"clear!"
The Chengshi Farm, which has been established for more than three years, has fulfilled its promise of "Chengshi Products, must be fine products". All the ingredients and crops sold on the farm are high-quality or top-notch ingredients and fruits without exception.
The feed used in poultry centers is currently supplied from farm plantations. It can be said that these poultry have grown up eating top pollution-free vegetables since childhood. Their quality will naturally not be bad.
If nothing unexpected happens, once these poultry that are being raised and grown up meet the slaughtering standards, the restaurants under Zhuang Haiyang will benefit from it. In terms of meat supply, they can truly be self-sufficient.
If the effect is good, it may not be ruled out in the future that it will continue to expand. However, in a short period of time, other restaurants are probably only jealous. As for the current breeding scale, it is probably not enough to supply their own restaurants!
Even though these poultry have not been breeding for a long time, judging from the growth of these poultry, it is quite gratifying. What satisfies the most is that when walking in the poultry breeding center, you can't smell too much offensive odor.
This also shows that he had previously asked the breeding center to do a good job of sanitation and the employees also performed well. The feces excreted from these poultry can also become organic fertilizers for the orchard after treatment.
After walking around, I came to Zhuang Haiyang next to the reservoir again, and said with a smile: "Wait for another half a year, and we will be able to fish in the reservoir. I will save you every time I go to your two fish ponds and catch the fish in your ponds."
"Yes! Without you bandits, I can make a lot of money in Lao Wang's fish pond every year by selling fish!"
Hong Wei, who was answering the conversation, also knew that Zhuang Haiyang was making fun of himself. But in fact, the farm they rented had a pond of several acres. The freshwater fish stocked inside were also very popular among some tourists who came to have fun.
In addition to fishing and leisure, the fish you catch can also be cooked directly, and the taste is very good. Of course, with this kind of fishing and making fish, the two families can also earn a lot more than others when they receive tourists every year!
At least at this stage, the larger pond in the resort center has become a favorite of many tourists. If you want to eat fish, you not only have to catch it by yourself, but you also have to pay for the fish you catch.
But many tourists like this, only eating freshwater fish they catch. In their opinion, eating the fish they catch may make them feel more accomplished. Moreover, the taste of these freshwater fish is no worse than seafood.
I have seen the breeding center and reservoir, and while Zhuanghaiyang still has time, I went to the ranch to take a look. Although there are still only cattle and sheep that are raised on the ranch, there are quite a lot of cattle and sheep that are raised on the pasture today.
Among them, the smallest number of cows, the fresh milk provided every day, has become the favorite of many children and even the elderly. Many tourists who come to the farm for leisure and vacation have tasted this fresh milk and they also feel that the taste is pure and good.
However, this kind of pure milk is not sold to the outside world on the farm. If you want to drink it, you can only stay at the farm and then make reservations in advance to drink it. Otherwise, there is not much pure milk itself and you may not be able to drink it even if you have money.
Although the ranch also considered whether to raise some lambs that can produce milk, it was rejected in the end. The breeding of meat lambs can basically ensure that a batch of them will be produced in two months. According to the breeding time, they are all stocked in batches on the ranch.
For scalpers, there are two batches of large and small. Basically, one batch can be slaughtered, and the second batch will also enter the weight gain period. In this way, it can also ensure that a batch of scalpers can be launched on the market every six months.
Looking at the group of scalpers that could be slaughtered soon, Zhuang Haiyang also smiled and said, "This batch of scalpers will be available for sale in another month, right?"
"Absolutely! In fact, some scalpers now have the weight of the slaughtered standard. It is just to ensure that they have sufficient growth period and raise them for an additional month, and the quality of the slaughtered beef may be better."
"Then it doesn't matter if you keep it for one more month! Although those buyers are eager to wait, we can't do anything to ruin the sign. After this batch of scalpers is sold, we will extend the scale of the ranch to a thousand acres of pasture!"
"Really? In this case, can we expand the scale of our next batch of breeding?"
"Of course! The situation of pastures is different from plantations and orchards. Just level the mountains and forests and plant high-quality forage grass. When the forage grass enters the harvesting period, you can basically grazing normally."
"Well! Still the same as before, continue to expand along the edge of the ranch?"
"Yes! By the way, I heard that there were many wild animals found in the mountains and forests near the ranch, right?"
Thinking of the situation informed by the security team before, Zhuang Haiyang also asked in a timely manner. In order to ensure that the ecology around the ranch is not affected, Zhuang Haiyang will naturally not cause too much damage to the mountains and forests near the ranch.
Perhaps due to the influence of groundwater veins, the number of wild animals in the undeveloped mountains and forests around the pasture has also increased significantly. What surprised the Zhuang Ocean most was that some beasts appeared from time to time.
Of course, these beasts are now national first-class protected animals. Their appearance does bring certain safety hazards to the ranch. Fortunately, the security measures around the ranch have always been done well.
Hearing Zhuang Haiyang's inquiry, the person in charge of the ranch nodded and said, "Indeed! As the ranch expands to the outer mountains and forests, many hares have appeared on the grasslands on our edge. Of course, what is really worth noting is that clouded leopards have appeared."
"Come for the sheep from our ranch?"
"It should be! Fortunately, there is a barbed wire fence on the edge of our ranch, plus an infrared surveillance probe. The two clouded leopards that appeared only hovered outside for a while. Later, the security team members appeared and they disappeared quickly."
As the person in charge of the ranch introduced the relevant situation, similar hares appeared, and security team members occasionally hunted them, and it was basically impossible to flood them. However, clouded leopards are protected animals, and it is really a bit difficult to break into the ranch.
When Zhuang Haiyang thought of these, he quickly said, "Okay, I will mention this matter to the above and see how to deal with it. If nothing unexpected happens, those large wild animals should have slipped out of the primeval forest.
It seems that the Feng Shui of our ranch has also attracted the visit of these wild animals. Although it cannot be hunted, some precautions are also needed. If it really doesn’t work, it won’t happen if some anesthesia guns are applied for at that time.”
"Well! In this regard, it's best to contact the forest animal management department."
Before leaving the ranch, Zhuang Haiyang also walked around the edge of the pasture. He found that there were indeed many holes dug by hares in the pasture. If not dealt with, it would be possible to cause damage to the pasture.
After explaining to Hong Wei, the security team will focus on preventing the infiltration of these hares in the next step. However, when he turned his attention to the mountains and forests bordering the jungle of the reserve, some of the animals he found surprised him.
Although no clouded leopards were found, some rare wild animals protected by the state were also found. To put it simply, they are all wild animals protected by the Nanzhou. Among them, the gibbons surprised Zhuanghaiyang.
"I really didn't expect that the ranch also attracted these great saints. Looking at this stance, they should be eyeing the orchards of the farm."
It is clear that the fruits grown on the farm and the pasture grasses on the farm are also very attractive to pure wild animals. The closer you are to the mountainous land on the edge of the farm, the more likely it is to be affected.
Animals have great perception ability. In fact, as the farm area continues to expand, birds often appear in the orchards covered with green trees. As for animals, perhaps because some people dare not get too close.
After a little observation, Zhuang Haiyang discovered that the existence of the farm has indeed attracted many wild animals in the reserve. If we did not take precautions early, it would be possible to attract poachers.
Although surveillance equipment is installed around the farm, security team members naturally cannot monitor the undeveloped mountains and forests outside the farm in real time. This means that once criminals know about these situations, they will inevitably come to carry out poaching.
