Yang He looked at Zhao Shucheng in confusion and said, "There are many ways to eat it, such as making Dilong wine. The method is to use raw materials such as Wudilong and 20 grams of Black Taro, stir the application medicine to get the juice, mix it with the wine and boil it, and take it warmly."
"It can also be made into buffalo horned dinolon soup to help digestion and absorption and improve human immunity. You can add dinolon powder when stewing chicken, which makes it more delicious."
Zhao Shucheng made Yang He not want to eat chicken, but he still suppressed his disgust and said, "Then are there any flaws?"
Yang He helped his glasses and said, "Of course there are also defects. Because the earth dragon, that is, earthworms, grow underground, are the intermediate hosts and transmitters of many parasites. They can spread wedge-shaped metamorphosis tapeworms, foot-tube intersecting nematodes, ring capillary nematodes, heterospinal nematodes, etc. to chickens, causing the chickens to decline in their physical constitution and reduce their productivity."
Ma Defu felt a little sorry when he heard this: "Then you can't raise chickens with earthworms?"
Yang He waved his hand and said, "Of course not. This method can still be used to raise chickens. However, many chicken farmers don't know how to raise chickens correctly with earthworms. They just pick up live earthworms after the rain and feed them, saying that the earthworms are nutritious, and the chickens can lay eggs after eating them. But this method is not scientific at all."
"The correct way should be to rinse the collected earthworms with clean water and heat them in boiling water for five to ten minutes, which can effectively kill parasites inside and outside the earthworms," ​​he said.
"Cut the washed and cooked earthworms into small pieces and add them to the feed and mix them to feed the chickens. This will not only save feed, but also help the chickens gain weight quickly and speed up their growth."
Zhao Shucheng was a little disappointed when he heard this. He thought he didn't need feed to feed the chickens, but he didn't expect that he still needed feed after a long time. However, he didn't have any goods to receive them. At least he knew that raising chickens in earthworms was achievable.
"Ah, you have to mix it into the feed!"
Yang He glanced at Zhao Shucheng and said disdainfully: "What's wrong? Are you thinking about raising chickens with only earthworms? Don't talk about whether this can be done. The feed a chicken alone needs is one-fifth of its weight every day. Let's not talk about chickens. Just a big chicken weighing three pounds always requires half a pound of grain. Do you think relying solely on earthworms can meet the needs? A mu of land cannot produce more than one thousand kilograms. How many chickens can be raised?"
Seeing this, Ma Defu quickly interrupted and asked, "Researcher Yang, do you think the Gobi Desert like Yuquanying in Russia is suitable for earthworm breeding projects?"
Yang He thought about Ma Defu's words and said, "I can't guarantee this matter now, because I haven't been to it before and don't understand the specific climate. However, if it is similar to that in Yinchuan, it is logical that it can be cultivated here, then it can also be cultivated in Yuquanying."
Ma Defu was happy when he heard this, as long as he could breed it. He just heard what Yang He said, and understood that this earthworm can really help raise chickens, and even make the chickens grow faster and increase their weight.
Before Ma Defu could be happy, Yang He poured another basin of cold water down.
"Although you can raise them all, you also said that it is the Gobi Desert. At that time, there will definitely be a shortage of water. Earthworms like dark and humid places. There is no way to breed earthworms without water."
Ma Defu doesn’t think there is any problem with water shortage. Now there are machine wells in the village, and the water use problem has been solved. Besides, how much water can be used to raise earthworms? It’s not like building a swimming pool.
"The Russians have some water shortage in that place, but the Russians already have their own wells in Jintan Village, so there should be no problem with the water for raising earthworms."
"Generally speaking, it takes 100 kilograms of water to breed half acre of earthworms, that is, two large buckets of water, plus some pig manure, cow manure, straw, etc. to breed... "
Yang He began to tell Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu about some things about raising earthworms, and focused on how to breed them.
"If you are breeding at home, the breeding area will definitely be wrong. At most, it is only one or two cents of land. Generally speaking, you don't need much water, just one bucket of water will be enough."
After calculation, Zhao Shucheng felt that he did not use much water. Even if he used a bucket of water every day, the well would be enough to meet the needs.
Yang He thought about it when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words and said, "It is true that the yard at home is usually very small, and it is almost enough to raise a bucket of water on a small scale. Moreover, the technical difficulty is not high, and the investment is not very large. It is indeed possible to raise it."
Ma Defu and Zhao Shucheng were both very happy, as long as they could be raised, it would be fine. Although a chicken could not be bought much, most of the people in Jintan Village had food this year, which would definitely satisfy the consumption and raising chickens.
Zhao Shucheng knew that raising earthworms could be done. The key point now is how to get Yang He to go to Yuquanying to guide the villagers to raise them. If he couldn't go, then everything would be useless.
"Researcher Yang, if you say that if the Russians breed earthworms, can you serve as the Russian technical consultant and guide the Russians to breed them?"
Yang He felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He is now a researcher at the Institute of Agricultural Sciences. If he helps Zhao Shucheng, it will definitely not work. Besides, he still needs research.
When Zhao Shucheng saw Yang He in a dilemma, he immediately realized that there was trouble, but he could tempt him.
"School, I saw that your yard is very small, and you never thought about changing to a larger other party's experiment? But I heard that in our agricultural research, the experimental site is very important. The larger the site, the greater the possibility of success?"
Yang He shook his head and said, "It's not useful for the size of the place, but my place is indeed a little small. Now I rented this yard myself. I have reported it to the yard for a lot of reports and I can't approve the land for me."
"The outdoor ground does not meet the requirements. When we raise earthworms, we must have certain restrictions. If we are outside, it will be easy to run away. Besides, earthworms also have many natural enemies, such as mice, ants, etc. There are too many animals in the wild, which will cause great damage to the experiment."
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content below! "What's more, the earthworms I want to study are not only the current ones. Different types of earthworms have different functions, but due to site restrictions, we can only experiment with the most basic ones. The bottleneck that stuck in the research is that the place is too small, and it is impossible to study the effect of earthworms on soil improvement, and there is no way to see what the effect of earthworms raising chickens is. These all require a large site and require a lot of funds."
"Unfortunately, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences has many research subjects, and the funds allocated to each project are limited, not to mention that the earthworm project cannot see any economic benefits in the short term, so it is even less taken seriously."
When Zhao Shucheng heard this, he understood how to mobilize Yang He to Yuquan Camp, and couldn't help but say: "Then Researcher Yang, if the site and funding problems are solved, will there be more research results?"
Yang He nodded and said, "Of course, it is not enough to have funds, and there are also some research equipment. Now we can only rely on magnifying glasses to study, and some microscopes are not our turn to try."
In the 1990s, the country's economy was still very backward, especially in the central and western regions, which had not developed most of them. Ningxia was even more economically backward because of its geographical location. The country's economy was backward, so there was not much research funding for research institutes in various places. Ningxia was poor and even less funding was allocated to the Agricultural Science Institute. The Agricultural Science Institute wanted to use the minimum funding to solve the biggest problem. Now the first thing is to increase crop yields and economic crops. Of course, research such as earthworms does not pay much attention to it.
Zhao Shucheng looked at Yang He and said, "Researcher Yang, it is not a problem to build a place for you to do research. Even experiments such as improving soil by experimenting with earthworms and raising chickens can be done."
Yang He was very excited when he heard Zhao Shucheng's words, and directly grabbed Zhao Shucheng's hand and asked, "What are you going to do? Can you help me get the land?"
Zhao Shucheng looked at Ma Defu and said, "The place in Yuquanying is now calling on ordinary people in the impoverished mountainous areas of Xihaigu to immigrate more than 20,000 acres of land. Now there are not many people willing to go there. It is when there are too many land and there are still a lot of free land. As long as you are willing to do research, the Russians should be willing to specialize in deducting a piece of land for you for research."
"Originally, we wanted to understand earthworm breeding and earthworm chicken raising. When you get there, you can receive a lot of materials, which should be of great help to your research."
"As long as you are willing to go, Ma Defu, who was in charge of the dangling village, will definitely report to the above. The land problem will be solved at that time. Besides, if you really want to go, you need preparation time. Russians can use this time to build a house for you and reclaim experimental fields."
Ma Defu now understood what Zhao Shucheng meant and said directly with his chest: "Researcher Yang, don't worry, if you really want to go, the Russians will definitely do a good job in logistics."
Yang He was half-believing when he heard this, but he was still a little worried. After all, it was not only necessary to do research, but also lacked research funds.
"Let's talk about this. Even if you give me land, you can't do it now. This piece of land is all made out of your own pocket, and there is not that much money."
Zhao Shucheng smiled and said, "Researcher Yang, you don't have to worry about research funds at all. The Russians have provided you with your research funds, so it probably won't cost much, right?"
"Of course, it doesn't take much. In the early stage, only one acre of land is enough. Various types of breeding, soil improvement, economic animal breeding, etc. have been planned for the experiment, and research funds are not needed. At most, two thousand yuan a year is enough. After all, the funds required for earthworm breeding are relatively small, and the rest is all about purchasing farming materials."
A student of Yang He directly said the number of research funds. After saying that, he looked nervously at Zhao Shucheng and Ma Defu, worried that he would want too much.
When Ma Defu heard this price, he was a little embarrassed. Every cent in their bank office was planned for use, and he could not squeeze out so much money. He couldn't help but look at Zhao Shucheng and Yang He in a dilemma, meaning that he couldn't afford so much money.
