Chapter 35 Chickens live better than people
"Crackling." There was a burst of firecrackers, and Li Lei's chicken farm officially started.

Now that Sanxia is done with work, the villagers have some free time, many of them come to help with odd jobs, and the rest are watching the fun.

"Tsk tsk tsk, take a look, there are so many red bricks, no one in our village lives in a brick and tile house, and Lei Waer uses them to build chicken coops? These chickens live better than people!"

"I heard that they are still American chickens. Our own chickens still lay eggs. Why do we have to import them from foreign countries? I think he has money and no place to burn them!"

"I earned 2 yuan in half a month after going out! This college student is amazing!"

"Hey, if I have 2 yuan, I'll use it to build a house, buy a TV, marry a wife, save the rest, stop working in the future, and watch TV every day at home with my wife in my arms."

Some were envious, some were doubtful, and some were ironic. These words reached Li Lei's ears, but they didn't spoil his mood in the slightest. Now he only wanted to build the chicken farm as soon as possible.

"Xiao Lei, don't worry, it will definitely be built before the American chickens come! The big workers are five yuan a day, and the small workers are two yuan, and they don't have to go out. Who would be willing to do such a good job? They will work hard!" Li Qisheng put his hands behind his back. , high-spirited, seems to have returned to the glory days of commanding a big battle in the past.

"With you and Xinwang watching, I'm sure I can rest assured! It's just that building a chicken farm is a little different from building other houses. I'm worried that they may make mistakes due to their inexperience!" Li Lei is not worried about the workers not paying attention, but about this.

Throughout the development history of the domestic chicken industry, chicken farms can be divided into five generations. In the early stage of reform and opening up, the first generation was dominated by the scale of 20-30 chickens. It just slightly expanded the original chicken cages and adopted natural free-range farming. Situation, limited variety, low efficiency.

The second generation was in the early 90s, and the breeding scale was dominated by 300-800 chickens. From extensive and small-scale free-range farming, to gradually starting to try cage farming and intensive farming, but limited by the level of funds and technology, chicken farms remained the same. Relatively simple and crude.

After the third generation in 2000, the breeding scale was dominated by 3000-5000, generally divided into 2-3 batches, gradually intensive breeding, the concept of breeding began to be initially updated, the breeding equipment and houses were relatively simple, the breeding level was average, and the production The process is relatively extensive.

The fourth generation is a family farm model with 10000-50000 animals on hand, with relatively good housing conditions, high management level, and advanced supporting facilities.

The scale of the fifth generation is more than 100000-500000, which realizes mechanized and intelligent breeding. The chicken farm is equipped with a fully automatic feeding monitoring system and adopts relatively advanced scientific and technological achievements. It only needs a small amount of manpower to manage hundreds of thousands. Even millions of chickens.

Of course, this is only the average level. Although it is still in the 80s, some people are already ahead of the times. For example, the Liu brothers' farm in Sichuan has exceeded the level of the early 90s.

The breeding farm designed by Li Lei has a scale of about [-] animals and implements intensive breeding, which has reached or even exceeded the level of the third generation.

However, due to the constraints of the times, materials such as aerated concrete and color steel sandwich panels that are popular in later generations have not yet been invented, or their prices have not yet dropped, so they have to be replaced by cheap materials that are currently available.

The chicken farm is mainly divided into functional areas such as chicken coops, brooding coops, warehouses, feed processing rooms, and offices. The poultry coops are used to raise chickens, and the brooding coops are used to hatch and grow chicks. After the chickens grow up, they are sent to the poultry coop .

The chicken coop is a long building running from east to west. This design is conducive to keeping warm in winter and avoiding solar radiation in summer. At the same time, the roof can be opened. When the weather is good, the chickens can enjoy the sun. The grass curtain is covered.

After watching for a while, Li Qisheng has rich experience in on-site management, and the workers are also attentive, so there is nothing to worry about for the time being.

"Xiao Lei, I'm leaving first! First, go to the vegetable market in the county to see how the facade is rented, and then ask a few big units to see if they can bring their egg supply!" Cousin Li Xin'an changed into new clothes, her hair was tidied up and shiny, and she was ready to go to work.

"After watching the county, I will go to the provincial capital. The market in Heyang is still a bit small. At that time, so many eggs will be rushed into the market. I am a little worried about digestion problems. If there is a spot in the provincial capital, I will be more at ease!" Li Lei took Give out some food stamps and cash and pass them over, treating them as business expenses.

"Second Uncle, Xinwang, please help me to keep an eye on them, I will go back and teach them!" After Li Xin'an left, Li Lei also took Sun Chengping and Li Xinwang's sister-in-law Fang Caixia and Fang Caiyun back.

As for the silly baby, let him work with the workers.

When he got home, Li Lei turned on the video recorder, inserted a video tape into it, and a documentary about a large foreign chicken farm appeared on the TV.

He didn't buy TVs and VCRs just for entertainment, he also asked Xie Liren to help him get a lot of professional materials, which came in handy now.

"The two of you watch TV first to learn how large foreign chicken farms work, and write down what you don't understand. I'll come and explain to you later!"

"Oh, good!" Fang Caixia and Fang Caiyun didn't realize it for a while, how can they still study while watching TV?But soon the two of them were shocked by the content displayed on the TV screen.

My God, how big is a foreigner's chicken farm?I'm afraid there are tens of thousands of chickens, right?How did you survive with just these few people?

Finally, I took Sun Chengping to another room, set up a small blackboard and told him about the disease problems that chicken farms should pay attention to, and how to solve these problems.

Sun Chengping took out his notebook and recorded carefully, and asked questions from time to time, Li Lei answered them one by one.

Time passed quickly, and the chicken farm had new changes every day, while Sun Chengping, Fang Caixia, Fang Caiyun and Li Xinwang were also making rapid progress.

In addition to theoretical knowledge, Li Lei also provided them with the opportunity of practical simulation, allowing them to carry out practical operation exercises with tools and materials that they bought or made themselves.

Now the farmers don't have to worry about being hungry, but it is still difficult to earn some living money, so they all cherish this opportunity, study very hard, and no one dares to be sloppy.

The construction of the chicken farm was relatively smooth. Li Qisheng managed the site very well. Even if there were occasional minor problems, they could be resolved through communication.

By the time the chicken farm was completed, they had almost learned it, and now they were waiting for Xie Liren to send the Hai-Line layer hen breeders to Li Lei.

I sent a telegram, and they replied quickly. When the agreed time came, Li Leibian, Li Xinwang and Li Xin'an packed up the car that helped Mr. Wang pull the goods last time, and went to the provincial capital together, preparing to deliver this batch of seeds to the provincial capital. The chicken was brought back.
