Chapter 350

Alfalfa is not sweet elephant grass.

Compared with sweet elephant grass, the yield of alfalfa is too low.

As far as hay is concerned, sweet elephant grass...the output of hay per acre is about 3.5-4 tons.Moisture content is about 17.00%.

The yield of alfalfa is 07-0.8 tons of hay per mu.

The yield is 5 times worse.

Chen Mo has 1.3 acres of alfalfa, and last year's dry alfalfa output probably didn't reach 4 kilograms.

There are now more than [-] ewes in Mushan Ranch.

Take Han sheep as an example. During the lactation period, Han sheep, which weigh about 50 kilograms, have a relatively high feed intake. Not counting concentrates, silage, etc... the dry alfalfa fed every day is about 1.7 kilograms.

In the past, Han sheep were not specifically used as dairy sheep. Alfalfa was expensive and was only fed to the ewes during the lactation period. Then, alfalfa was used to make pellet feed, which did not consume too much alfalfa.

But if all ewes such as Han Sheep are raised as dairy sheep, they must be well fed for at least six months a year, or even eight or nine months.

After all, you have to feed your baby well to produce more milk.

In this case, it is conservatively estimated that a sheep consumes 360 kilograms of alfalfa in a year.

Even if there are 10 ewes in Mushan Ranch now, if they are all converted into dairy ewes, 3.6 tons of alfalfa will be consumed in a year.

Dairy cows and dairy sheep must be fed some dry pasture with relatively high protein content, which can be alfalfa, peanut seedlings, satawang, etc.And here, the best grass to find is alfalfa.

Compared with sweet elephant grass, the yield of alfalfa is too low.If there are too many dairy cows and dairy sheep, there may not be enough alfalfa.

But, Cheng Tang's calculation is not accurate, and it cannot be calculated that way.

Even if Mushan Ranch raises 10 ewes for milk production, it is impossible for the ewes to produce milk for 6 months every year.Moreover, unless you are feeding a transitional dairy goat, the amount of alfalfa fed to the dairy goat does not reach 1.7 kilograms.

The protein content of dried sweet elephant grass is not much worse than that of alfalfa.

The protein content of alfalfa in Mushan Ranch is only slightly higher than that of sweet elephant grass.Generally speaking, if used for fattening, alfalfa may not be as effective as sweet elephant grass, mainly because sweet elephant grass has a higher sugar content.Dried sweet elephant grass, in particular, has a sugar content of close to ten percent.

However, the nutritional content of alfalfa is more comprehensive.

Since they are not full-time dairy goats, they must design the most economical feeding plan.

But if more cows and goats are raised, the alfalfa at Chen Mo's side will definitely become in short supply.

After chatting about the dairy industry for a while, we talked about the upcoming entrepreneur conference.

For the time being, Chen Mo has no difficulties, he just hopes to expand the transportation road.The road from Yunshan residential area to the county seat is mainly used for running family cars.

Trucks mainly take the road from outside Mushan Ranch to Alpine Ranch.

Chen Mo will purchase some corn, soybean meal, etc., and the purchase volume is quite large.Then there is the matter of transporting the cattle and sheep...

The main grass in Mushan is sheep, and there are both cattle and sheep in Wushan Pastoral Area. The transportation is also through the road over the alpine pasture.There were so many heavy trucks running there that the road, which had only been repaired for a short time, was full of potholes.

After the matter was settled, Zhang Weimin left.

Cheng Tang took out a cigarette, remembered that Chen Mo and Zhang Cheng no longer smoked, and put the cigarette away.

"When did you start smoking?" Chen Mo said.

"I started smoking last year." Cheng Tang said: "Running a ranch is stressful..."

"Who told you to expand so quickly?" Zhang Cheng said.

Cheng Tang's pasture has more than 1 cows.There are also more than 2 heads of beef.Tens of thousands of mutton sheep. "You are already forty, what can you learn? Learn to smoke. If you are stressed, go out for a massage and relax." Chen Mo raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "How many loans do you have outside?"

"2.5 billion."

"It's not much." Chen Mo said: "The money I owe is much more."

"The main debt you owe is the land payment, and you don't need to pay interest on that money. I owe 2.5 million yuan, and the annual interest is 100 million yuan." Cheng Tang stood up.

"You just talked about the Entrepreneurs Conference, have you received the invitation?" Zhang Cheng said.

Chen Mo said 'hmm'.

Cheng Tang also nodded: "You didn't receive the invitation?"

"No." Zhang Cheng shook his head: "I'm not qualified."

"Your ranch has too few people." Cheng Tang said.

"How many workers are there now?"

"More than 100 people." Cheng Tang said.

Zhang Cheng looked at Chen Mo again: "What about you?"

"More than 200 people." Chen Mo said.This year we have recruited some workers one after another. Not counting interns... we have nearly 300 full-time employees.

The final number of workers at Mushan Ranch should be around 300, no more.

A few days later, the Entrepreneurs Conference.

Chen Mo drove the Ghost and took Zhou Hao with him.

Cheng Tang drove his Range Rover with his ranch manager Sun Xuebing.

Sun Xuebing was a veterinarian before and did not have much management experience.However, the main manager of the Alpine Ranch is Cheng Tang himself, and Sun Xuebing only cooperates and provides assistance.

As for Chen Mo's Mushan Ranch, Chen Mo basically took over as the manager.

"I did some calculations and it's not cost-effective to use Han sheep as dairy goats to produce milk." Zhou Hao said: "If you want to produce milk, you'd better find specialized dairy goats. For example, the Sanen dairy goats, after selection, the output of the Han sheep is Twice the number, and Saanen dairy goats also have the tendency to have multiple fetuses.”

莎能奶山羊是世界公认的最优秀的奶山羊品种，每年可产奶600~1200公斤，各国条件不同其产奶量差异较大。最高个体产奶记录3430公斤……每胎产仔1~3只。

If you want to raise dairy goats, it is best to raise a specialized breed of dairy goats.

Chen Mo said 'hmm': "I will discuss this matter with my father-in-law another day and let him raise dairy goats. Our Mushan Ranch will continue as usual."

Mushan Ranch breeds mutton sheep. Although they can also be used to produce milk, the yield is low and it is not cost-effective.

Han sheep have three litters in two years. Based on the current average calculation, the third litter is about 13.Lambs raised for two months are sold for 700 yuan each, and 13 lambs are 9100 yuan.

If Han sheep want to produce milk, they may only be able to give birth to two babies in two years.Moreover, it is not good for the health of the ewes. Originally, there were four or five ewes in a litter. Because the milk production time was extended before conception, now there are only two or three ewes in a litter.

寒羊一天就算产奶5斤，一个月150斤，1斤羊奶现在的价格是5元……那也就是750元。差不多是一只羊羔的价钱。

In addition, dairy goat feed is expensive, and overall, it is not cost-effective at all.

The breeding industry cannot take things for granted.

Want and want at the same time, want and want at the same time, get the best of both worlds... Even a cheater can find it difficult to do this.
