Chapter 148 Different Chicken Types

Qiu Mei and Yuan Xiuxiu came to the gate of the farm again.

The middle-aged man who was guarding the door had disappeared, and a young man in dark green overalls was waiting at the door.

"Hello, are these the two comrades who came over to buy chicken seedlings just now?"

The man walked towards him with an extremely enthusiastic attitude.

Qiu Mei knew that it was probably because of the phone call, so she smiled and handed over the letter of introduction.

"Hello, we are from Heguang Commune."

The man took the letter of introduction, glanced at it briefly, and immediately shook hands with the two.

"Welcome, welcome, come in quickly, I'm Hou Qi, the technician here, just tell me if you need anything."

Hou Qi enthusiastically brought the two of them in, as if they had known each other for a long time, and even kindly asked them if they had eaten, and wanted to take the two of them to experience the canteen here.

Qiu Mei and Yuan Xiuxiu naturally declined.

The farms in the provincial capital have areas for raising pigs, ducks and chickens, as well as specialized hatcheries, feed mills and processing plants.

It is said to be a breeding farm, but it is actually not much different from a medium-sized factory, with about [-] employees.

Yuan Xiuxiu thought to herself, no wonder they ignored each other when they came to the door for the first time, so it turns out that this place is so powerful.

Hou Qi brought the two of them to the chicken breeding area, "This is our professional hatchery."

Rows of machines that look like iron shelves are lying on both sides of the road. Hou Qi casually introduced: "Although the appearance is simple, there are many tricks to pay attention to. The temperature for preheating eggs is different from the temperature for embryo incubation. The temperature of the incubation cycle also changes, and of course the humidity also changes, and ventilation is required in the middle to avoid suffocation of the embryos caused by excessive carbon dioxide concentration. It can be said that if any step is missed, it will be difficult for the chicks to hatch."

Yuan Xiuxiu took out a small notebook and kept memorizing it, while Hou Qi watched this scene with a smile and said nothing.

He could tell everything in detail, but it is still difficult for non-professionals to grasp the doorway.

The chickens in the breeding area are all raised in captivity, and there are so many chickens that it is almost impossible to count, at least tens of thousands of them, and this is just one of the venues.

Qiu Mei lamented that the scale of this place is nothing compared to the county town.

This trip really came at the right time.

Yuan Xiuxiu observed the surrounding environment, wishing she could stay for a day or two so that she could learn these things carefully.

Hou Qi looked at the two of them with a smile, without saying anything to urge them.

After a long while, Qiu Mei looked away reluctantly, and asked: "Comrade Hou, to be honest, we didn't know much about these methods before, and this is the first time I want to buy some chicken seedlings, can you introduce them to us. "

"Of course." Hou Qi said frankly: "Actually, the breeding of broiler breeds first started abroad, with a history of more than a hundred years. In the 60s in China, we began to build collective broiler farms, and introduced new breeds such as White Rock chickens. It only takes two months to grow two kilograms of star broiler chickens, and the feed-to-meat ratio is about 2 to 1. Our farm is also trying to combine this broiler chicken with the local, but there is no good result for the time being. .”

The pencil in Yuan Xiuxiu's hand memorized quickly, almost rubbing against the paper to create sparks.

Qiu Mei asked the key question, "Then which one do you think we should buy?"

Although Hou Qi was a technician, he looked very smooth and recommended two varieties to Qiu Mei.

One kind has a short breeding cycle and is easy to produce results, but the price is slightly more expensive.

The other is more inclined to local chicks, with a long growth cycle, firm meat, and lower prices.

Let the two little girls choose for themselves.

Yuan Xiuxiu mainly focused on Qiu Mei and didn't make any suggestions.

Qiu Mei thought that they were mainly for rapid cultivation and then processed and sold to the train station. Naturally, she cared more about the growth cycle, so she asked for the first type.

"We want to buy fifteen hundred."
