Riding and chopping: Overlord of the Han and Hungarians

Chapter 401 Chapter 400. Horses and donkeys

There are hundreds of areas in the farm separated by cement masonry.

There are three to four white pigs in each such area.

It cannot be said to be white. The skin color of these pigs tends to be gray-brown. Their previous generations were native Chinese black pigs.

It's just that Zhang Qi had previously completed a batch of pig breeds from the world of riding and slashing and brought them to the outside world. After several generations of breeding pigs from the world of riding and slashing with local pigs, the current breed was formed.

Coupled with the complete castration technology, the pigs in this pig farm looked very lazy, each lying in their own area and yawning lazily.

The pig farm here is a centralized breeding area. Each area is separated from each other. If you look around, there are hundreds of pig pens in a row, and between the two rows are aisles for employees to clean the pig pens and feed the pigs.

Thanks to Liaodi's cement technology and the convenient pipeline technology after the arrival of rubber.

The pig pen drainage system in the pig farm is very complete.

The cement boards on the aisles are all in the form of fences. The breeding sewage from washing the pig pens will directly rush into the sewers under the aisles. The sewer systems of hundreds of aisles in the pig farm will eventually merge into one and flow into the Liao underground water system. main sewage channel.

Without transitional industrialization, the sewage in Liaodi is mainly human domestic sewage and livestock breeding sewage. This sewage will flow to a deserted depression outside Liaoning City, where employees of the fertilizer plant will complete the feces drying process and sewage desalination treatment. Finally, it is sent to the fertilizer factory to be made into fertilizer.

The big pigs that are about to be slaughtered here are lazy and seldom move except eating every day.

On the other side, the stable of young pigs was howling miserably.

Zhang Qi and others followed the sound and went to visit.

Just one glance, and all the men, including Zhang Qi, could not help but feel a chill in their lower bodies.

The stalls for young pigs are connected to hot water pipes, so it is much warmer here than the stalls for big pigs.

But even though it was as warm as spring here, the flashes of cold light made people who saw the castrate for the first time shudder. In the flash of the knife, two meatballs were picked out from between the two legs of the young pig.

Then the surgeons skillfully threw the meatballs into their pockets, wiped the wounds of the young pigs with disinfectant alcohol, and threw them back into the pen without even stitching the wounds. The piglets let out shrill wails.

The healing power of animals is unparalleled by humans. Coupled with the familiarity and superb skills of these surgeons, [-]% of these piglets will grow up healthy.

Of course, there will still be occasional wounds that need stitching, and the new novice employees will have full improvement in their needlework before they become skilled workers.

Disinfection, sanitation, and feed control.

In Liaodi's breeding farms, doctors check the health of livestock every day.

Livestock with problems were promptly disposed of and disinfected again. To this day, the breeding industry in Liaodi has developed. These actions, coupled with the cutting down of animal species brought from the world, have resulted in almost no devastating disasters.

Some minor illnesses and disasters did not cause any excessive losses.

Regarding the breeding industry, Zhang Qi has always insisted that if there are no modern facilities, then it will be filled with several times or dozens of times of labor. As long as there is a sufficient supply of meat, the labor effort will be worthwhile.

After visiting two or three pig farms, Zhang Qi followed the acting director of the Department of Animal Husbandry to visit the breeding of cattle and sheep, and the breeding of chickens, ducks and geese.

As for horse breeding, this has always been Zhang Qi's top priority, so he knew the situation of the racecourse too well and did not visit it.

Nowadays, the horses in Liao are almost the best among all horses in this era. The bloodline of Fengxing Horse (Fifth Generation) has almost improved the blood of horses in Liao.

With high explosive power and high endurance, these improved horses have no obvious shortcomings.

But this is not entirely convenient. At least in order to ensure that Liao war horses are not circulated to the outside world, the pack animals that the people can hold can only choose between oxen and giant draft horses.

In fact, there is no choice.

The appetite of a giant draft horse is not something that an ordinary family can feed, so the livestock power of common people in Liao is mostly retrained cattle.

This time the Director of the Animal Husbandry Department went to the Deer Herders' Camp to obtain new horse bloodlines and to re-breed a horse suitable for civilian use.Regarding this point, Zhang Qi actually had an idea in mind, but he was still busy with the war some time ago, so he never implemented it.

But this time when he returned to Liaodi, the Director of the Animal Husbandry Department had already set off. Rushing to implement his plan would dampen the passion of these practical men, so he planned to wait for the Director of the Animal Husbandry Department to return before discussing it.

The thing he wanted to discuss was the 'mule'.

Horse, crossbreed of donkey.

A beast of burden that has completely lost its ability to reproduce.

It is easy to feed and adapts to any terrain. It is the only beast of burden that is very suitable for folk use.

Sitting in the snowmobile returning to Liaoning City.

The sky outside the window was already very dark.

There are not many frames coming and going along the way even at this time. At this time, people are changing shifts and people are getting off work, so there is a lot of traffic on the road.

However, most of these carriages are public official transportation to facilitate everyone's commuting to and from get off work.

Although the traffic flow is larger.

But Zhang Qi's left and right sides were spacious.

These officially recruited drivers recognized Zhang Qi's flag, so no one dared to get close to him.

Driving all the way towards Liaoning City.

As we got closer to the city, people began to light up the lamps on both sides of the road.

The burning of these mixed greases provided illumination for the dim road.

Seeing these lamplighters, Zhang Qi couldn't help but sigh.

It's been ten years.

There is still no progress in research on edible soybean oil.

All the improvements that should be made have been made, and the pressing technology has become increasingly sophisticated, almost comparable to the extraction technology of later generations.

But that smell can never be eliminated.

If the odor of soybean oil cannot be removed, it will never be used for consumption and can only exist as a by-product and industrial by-product used to support the breeding industry.

There are people in Liaodi who are determined to cook with this smelly soybean oil, but without exception, they cannot insist on eating it for a long time.

Zhang Qi's team has already tried the physical methods that should be tried, and the results remain the same.

By now, he had almost guessed that some chemical reagents should be added to remove the smell after pressing the soybean oil.

But Zhang Qi didn't know what kind of chemical reagent he was, so he could only wait for the chemical saplings in Liaodi's education system to thrive.

Fortunately, soybean oil is not indispensable to Liaodi today. On the contrary, in addition to soybean meal, it is an excellent feed.

There are many choices of fats and oils in Liaodi.

The choice of vegetable oils alone goes beyond soybean oil.

Peanuts and corn, two crops found in Liaoning, can also be used to extract vegetable oil.
