Chapter 309

Chen Mo still made suggestions for small, semi-grazing family ranches.

It is best to divide the pasture into one or two acres.Then there are the semi-grazing flocks of sheep, preferably with a few cows in pens.

They can make their own feed or buy it from Chen Mo.When buying feed, the most cost-effective option is silage.

For dry fodder, you can buy dry corn stalks from outside and crush them with a kneading machine. That fodder is cheap.

A semi-grazing small family ranch can be made if you have 20 acres of land.If the land is too small, it is still not recommended to build a small family ranch.

A few days later, Wushan New Village sent the number of lambs to be purchased.

This time, 21 small family pastures were built, with each small pasture raising at least [-] sheep.If you have more, prepare to raise two hundred sheep.

It is said to be semi-grazing, but in fact the sheep in this small pasture should be kept in captivity for a relatively long time.

For these small pastures, Guo Zhi has configured a cost-effective pellet feed.The feed includes 50.00% sweet elephant grass, 20.00% corn meal, 20.00% alfalfa meal, 5.00% premix, shell meal, etc.

Corn is a little cheaper now. I just bought 1000 tons in the past few days, and the price is 2950 yuan per ton.

The price of new pellet feed is 2000 yuan.

This kind of feed has a good fattening effect and the price is quite satisfactory.

The main reason is that corn is too expensive now. This kind of feed can be fed [-]% to [-]% of the body weight of fattening sheep every day, which is almost enough.This feed contains a large amount of hay, and the fiber content is sufficient, so there is no need to feed hay separately...and then feed grass or silage.

Feeding sheep with finished feed is the easiest thing to do.In this case, as long as there is a labor force in the family, it is not difficult to raise one or two hundred sheep.

It's September.

The sweet elephant grass in Mushan Ranch is about to be harvested again.

There is quite a lot of silage left in the pasture, but there is also a lot of green hay left.

This time 7000 acres of sweet elephant grass were used for drying.More than 3000 acres are left for silage...

There are still 1.3 acres of alfalfa, and the alfalfa is about to be harvested.However, the alfalfa ranks behind the sweet elephant grass. When the sweet elephant grass is harvested, the alfalfa will be harvested.

All alfalfa is made into green hay.

Chen Mo used the spiritual spring to irrigate it. This time, the sweet elephant grass is growing particularly well. The yield of hay per mu is estimated to be [-] to [-] kilograms.

After the sweet elephant grass is harvested, a manure thrower enters the pasture from behind.The machine breaks up the sheep dung and throws it out more than ten meters.

In addition to manure dumpers, there are also water diverters.

Sweet elephant grass grows quickly and requires a lot of fertilizer.Normal sweet elephant grass can produce [-] to [-] tons of green grass per year, which means good fertilizer and water management.

Every time the sweet elephant grass is harvested here at Mushan Ranch, heavy fertilizer is applied.

"Mr. Chen." Guo Zhi came over and shouted.

"what?"

Guo Zhi walked over quickly and said, "The sheep manure in the pasture is not enough."

"The poop of tens of thousands of sheep is not enough?" Chen Mo said.

"After all, there are more than 2 acres." Guo Zhidao: "One ton of organic food per acre is more than 2 tons."

Chen Mo pinched his temples and said "Hmm", then he saw a U8 approaching.

The car was very big and parked on the side of the road. Zhang Cheng jumped out of the car: "Brother."

"What are you doing?" Chen Mo said.

"I heard that you have produced a pellet feed for fattening sheep. How is the effect?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"The effect is not bad." Chen Mo said, "I need to buy some and try it back."

“2000元1吨，太贵了。能不能搞的便宜一点。”张成说。“现在的玉米，2950元1吨。饲料里面有20.00%五的玉米粉，玉米粉最起码就要750元。然后有20.00%的苜蓿草粉……”

"No alfalfa flour. Replace it with 60.00% sweet elephant grass and 30.00% corn." Zhang Cheng said; "How much does it cost?"

Chen Mo looked at Guo Zhi.

Guo Zhi took out his mobile phone and calculated it, and said: "1800 yuan."

Zhang Cheng also did the math and said, "It's still expensive."

Chen Mo rolled his eyes: "How about you go out and collect corn stalks. Corn stalks are cheap, four to five hundred yuan per ton."

Corn straw is also expensive here in Sichuan, mainly because there are not many corn farmers.

Zhang Cheng chuckled and said: "One thousand and eighty is one thousand and eighty, let's try a hundred tons first. By the way, do you want to sell the organic fertilizer here? I know a boss who collects sheep dung and eggs. 450 yuan per ton of sheep dung eggs.”

"450 yuan, sell it to me. I also need to collect sheep dung..." Chen Mo said.

"450 yuan is too cheap. I sell it in pieces, 500 yuan per ton." Zhang Cheng chuckled.

Chen Mo raised his middle finger: "Okay. Pull me over here..."

"I don't have enough manpower there, so you guys go there and pull it yourself." Zhang Cheng said: "When others come to buy sheep dung, they also send their own cars."

"Okay. I'm going to increase the price of feed in the future."

"No, I'll help you transport it." Zhang Chengcheng looked speechless.

Chen Mo smiled and said to Guo Zhi: "Just that feed, no alfalfa powder, will there be any impact?"

"We have also tried the ratio that Mr. Zhang mentioned, and it is almost the same. There is no big difference." Guo Zhidao.

There are no major differences, but there are still some subtle differences.But in general, Zhang Cheng's ratio is more cost-effective.

Alfalfa powder, Chen Mo’s calculation is based on 2500 yuan per ton.Of course, with the addition of alfalfa powder, the effect is indeed a little better.

"How much alfalfa reserves do we have?" Chen Mo asked.

"Estimated, 2.5 tons." Guo Zhi said.

It was because there were too many reserves that Guo Zhi added alfalfa powder to the pellet feed.But the price of dry alfalfa is more than 2000 yuan per ton, which is almost the market price.

They can't sell dry alfalfa here. That's due to geographical reasons. There are no dairy farms around.

Dried alfalfa is usually fed to cows or horses.Or breeding cattle, breeding sheep...

When raising sheep, adult ewes need nutritional supplements when they are preparing for pregnancy, after pregnancy, and after giving birth...

In a year, an adult ewe eats about 350 pounds of dry alfalfa.This is the cold sheep ewes, Boer goats and black goats eat less.

Their farm's alfalfa yields are so high that there's so much that they can't use up.

Chen Mo calculated the cost of feed again.

2000 yuan per ton of pellet feed, corn flour 1% 20.00 yuan.Then there are premixes, etc., 750 yuan.

Sweet elephant grass, alfalfa, these are their own.

If we add up the costs of sweet elephant grass and alfalfa grass, as well as processing fees, if mass production is carried out, the total cost will be about 1000 yuan per ton.

This is the actual cost of 1 ton of feed, which is what Chen Mo has to pay.

Of course, the cost must also include mechanical wear and tear, and other things.

Anyway, at the current price of corn, the actual cost of producing a meal of pellet feed with a corn content of 20.00% is 1000 yuan.

Chen Mo sells a ton for 2000 yuan, which makes...a lot.
