Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 388: Swift river freshness!

According to the plan given by the domestic expert group, Wang Lu implemented it without any discounts.

The veterans and calves infected with schistosomiasis were all dewormed. The veterans were okay. The live schistosomiasis in the cow dung pulled out by the calves made people feel numb when they saw it. No wonder these calves were so skinny. With so many bugs absorbing nutrients in the stomach, can they grow?

The feces were also safely and harmlessly disinfected and buried, leaving no chance for the schistosomiasis.

According to the sampling conducted by the expert team, the number of flat snails in the entire Dome River Basin has not yet reached the level of a major outbreak. As long as effective measures are taken, it can be easily controlled.

In the future, as long as the lower reaches of the Dome River are monitored, the safety of the upper source can be ensured. After all, it is difficult and takes a certain amount of time for those flat snails to reproduce and spread to the upper reaches.

As for the previous infection of the veterans, it was also because they got into the water and were parasitized by schistosomiasis.

Therefore, in the near future, Wang Lu has issued a death order to everyone. It is strictly prohibited to enter the water. Even if there are operations in the water, such as pumping water to rice fields or cleaning gold mining boats, etc., it can be done with machinery as much as possible, and the protection is also required. Make the full set.

The only exception is probably the African ospreys. After all, birds and fish are generally difficult to be parasitized by schistosomiasis.

Thanks to these guys, even if Wang Lu can't go into the water, there will be no shortage of river fresh food on Wang Lu's table.

The drugs used to kill the snails can be obtained locally, especially with the presence of a domestic expert team. Soon the ranch started killing the snails in the waters of the Dome River. It is also the most important task of the ranch at present.

The expert team stayed at the ranch for a week and left after confirming that the snail disinfecting work was in place and the schistosomiasis situation was under effective control.

Without the schistosomiasis epidemic, the ranch gradually returned to calm, and various projects were back on track again.

Those emaciated calves, under careful care and keeping up with their nutrition, quickly caught up with the size of other similar calves, so that they would not become too thin.

The tension in Wang Lu's heart was finally relieved. Even though this schistosomiasis is inconspicuous, it seems that it is not a big deal as long as it is discovered and treated early. But even in China, fresh water lake resources In several relatively developed provinces and cities, sporadic traces of schistosomiasis still exist, and they are always under control, which shows how difficult this thing is to control.

Fortunately, the ranch has a freshwater river resource like the Dome River, which is easy to control, which saves a lot of effort.

Although the snails reproduce very quickly, the treatment is also effective. At least the snails among the aquatic plants on the banks of the Dome River have begun to die in large areas. Without a natural host, the schistosome eggs are in the river. It's just food for those microorganisms or small predators.

Just when Wang Lu took a breath, the long-lost system prompt sounded in his mind:
"Congratulations to the host for successfully resolving the crisis and ensuring the healthy development of the ecological environment of the ranch's waters. We can further develop the ranch's fishery resources!"

"Bonus: A good aquatic ecological environment is a great attraction to all aquatic species!"

Wang Lu has long been used to the system's scams. After all, his family is really cold and cold. He has taken over the ranch for more than a year and has only popped up a few times.

This time, it seems that he has successfully controlled the schistosomiasis?In short, no matter what, just give the reward and keep it!

Before Wang Lu could figure out where the system's rewards were specifically reflected this time, Parker came to him again.

And as soon as he opened his mouth, Wang Lu was startled:
"Boss, there's a situation in the Dome River!"

To be honest, Wang Lu's first reaction was that someone else was infected with schistosomiasis, but after thinking about it, he was a little confused.

During this period of time, I strictly prohibited my subordinates from entering the Dome River, and everyone knew the seriousness of the problem. No one wanted to be parasitized by some bugs in their bodies.

Fortunately, Parker made it clear right away!
"When the guys were investigating the situation of the flat snails along the Dome River, they discovered some conditions. The number of freshwater fish in the Dome River seems to have dropped by a level compared to before..."

Wang Lu didn't understand what Parker meant. The veterans would conduct an inspection of the snails along the upper reaches of the Dome River every day to confirm the killing effect and prevent the continued spread of schistosomiasis. Therefore, they would also conduct a simple survey of the situation in the Dome River. I don’t know much about it, but experts have said that this schistosomiasis basically does not parasitize freshwater fish. How can there be so few fish in the river?

Moreover, I have not let anyone fish at all in recent times. At most, a few ospreys have hunted a few...
As if to prove what he said, Parker said with a serious face:

"I swear to God, it seems like someone has eaten all the fish stocked in our river. There are at least one-third less freshwater fish in the river. It must be some damn big guy!"

Wang Lu finally figured out Parker's guess. It seemed that some creature had broken into the Dome River?

This is really not impossible!

At least Wang Lu has figured out that after the Dome River flows out of the pasture territory, it is connected to other waters, and finally leads to Lake Victoria. Even the natural host of Schistosoma snails is very likely to pass through The water system enters the pasture territory from outside.

It is not impossible for some other aquatic species to enter the Dome River!

Wang Lu immediately followed Parker to the Dom River to check, and now even Wang Lu could see the problem at a glance.

The water quality of the Dome River is quite good. You can even clearly see some fish swimming back and forth in the river, but now you can clearly feel that there seem to be a lot less fish in the river.

After patrolling a long distance along the Dome River, Wang Lu's conclusion became increasingly certain.

The number of freshwater fish in the Dome River has indeed decreased significantly!
Excluding the sudden changes in the water environment and the factors of man-made fishing, there is only one possibility left, and that is that all the disappearing freshwater fish were preyed upon by some kind of predator, otherwise it would not have happened. Can't explain it?

And not long after making the guess, it was confirmed that some kind of swift predator had indeed broken into the Dome River, and of course it could be regarded as a river fish.
