The rise of nanometers

When Fengmin Agriculture was conducting a swine fever vaccine pilot, COFCO and Beidahuang, as well as a number of large domestic breeding companies, all issued requests for cooperation to Shennong Group.

Although the pilot test has not yet come out, Shennong Group announced the clinical phase I and phase II test data of the swine fever vaccine on its official website after receiving approval from the Ministry of Health.

According to the current fatality rate and protection rate of swine fever vaccine, it is already a very excellent vaccine for veterinary use.

After all, major scientific research institutions around the world are unable to come up with an African swine fever vaccine with such a low fatality rate and such a high protection rate.

The Xizhou Alliance has developed several swine fever vaccines before. Unfortunately, after vaccination, the fatality rate exceeded 75%. That is, out of 100 pigs vaccinated, 75 were directly killed by the vaccine, and there were also pigs that survived. Serious side effects.

Which breeding company dares to use this kind of vaccine?

It's just a proposition.

However, the swine fever vaccine of Shennong Group did not achieve the expected effect of the first and second phases. Even if the protection rate is only 80%, many companies are willing to vaccinate.

After all, the swine fever virus is a virulent virus. Once infected, the entire farm will be destroyed. Rather than being afraid, it is better to be vaccinated for peace of mind.

At the strong request of a number of companies, Shennong Group agreed to open 12 more testing points, but required each company to cooperate with Shennong Group's testing work.

Abroad, when ABCD heard that Shennong Group’s swine fever vaccine had entered Phase III clinical testing, they were very surprised and even panicked.

You must know that in many previous confrontations, ABCD still has some initiative, especially in soybeans, corn, vegetable oil and meat, which can affect domestic prices.

The outbreak of swine fever has indeed affected some small and medium-sized farmers in the country.

If the swine fever vaccine is successfully promoted, the consequence is that China's pig breeding scale will recover quickly.

ABCD knows that the overall trend of feed prices in China this year is still in a steady decline. Feed costs, fuel costs, and disease risks are declining, while demand is gradually rising. In this environment, the enthusiasm of farmers will be significantly encouraged. .

In fact, in the past two or three years, the scale of domestic pig breeding has not declined significantly, because small and medium-sized farms have given up raising pigs, while large farms have increased their scale.

For example, Fengmin Agriculture's own pig farms have a pig population of 22.57 million. Together with cooperative farms, the total pig population has reached 27.36 million.

In other words, Fengmin Agriculture can afford this kind of ultra-large-scale breeding, but not even COFCO and Beidahuang can do it, because COFCO focuses on food security, while Beidahuang focuses on grain, oil, dairy and animal husbandry.

Fengmin Agriculture, which focuses on animal husbandry and feed, is the largest breeding company in the country. If the breeding base in Mobei is added, the scale will be even larger.

The Hulunbuir Prairie has just begun in spring.

At this time, only grass sprouts appeared on the grassland, and herders would not graze during this period.

At this time in previous years, herdsmen have to calculate the forage reserves. If there is not enough for cattle and sheep, they must purchase forage in time.

Things have changed a bit this year.

Beidahuang Group and Fengmin Agriculture contracted a large area of ​​sandy land and semi-desert in the Hulunbuir Prairie.

As the water pipeline extends to the Hulunbuir Prairie, the sandy land and semi-desert here have been transformed into pastures and farms.

Not far from the border, this place was originally a Gobi Desert, and there were more than 300 families of herders in the town.

Since Fengmin Agriculture settled in this border town, great changes have taken place here. A huge water pipeline passes not far from the town and crosses the border into Dongfang Province in Mobei.

The passing of the water pipeline brought abundant water resources to the area, and the Gobi Desert was transformed into a series of large farms.

In order to facilitate management, Beidahuang and Fengmin Agriculture adopt centralized planning, and farm areas, pastoral areas, and natural areas are clearly divided.

Farms near the border town mainly grow barley and soybeans, and large agricultural machinery is already operating on the farmland.

The original herdsmen either chose to work for Fengmin Agriculture, continue to engage in breeding, or engage in some border trade.

Li Bin, who had just graduated from college for a year, came to work in the Hulunbuir Prairie. His university major was ecological breeding. He happened to meet Fengmin who was recruiting students at the school, so he was deceived into the Gobi Desert outside the Great Wall.

At first, he was a little uncomfortable with it, but as time went by, he watched the desert Gobi in front of him being transformed into farmland little by little.

The group has built a large-scale breeding farm nearby, specializing in breeding Angus cattle and Hulunbuir black cattle.

Angus cattle are a relatively famous beef cattle breed in the world, while Hulunbuir black cattle are a hybrid breed cultivated by Fengmin Agriculture. This breed is an excellent beef cattle that has stood out from more than a dozen hybrid breeds after careful selection.

Li Bin is responsible for managing more than 2,000 Angus cattle and more than 400 Hulunbuir black cattle.

Having just obtained 15 pieces of cow semen from more than a dozen bulls, he put the test tubes into a special freezer storage box.

The assistant on the side recorded a series of data on the tablet. In order to build its own breeding system and cultivate diversified breeding varieties, Fengmin Agriculture invested a lot of money.

In order to meet the needs of the domestic people, the Grain Alliance is making various strategic investments and cultivating diversified crops and livestock varieties.

For example, the Hulunbuir black cattle that Li Bin is responsible for are excellent grain-fed cattle after careful breeding. They can easily produce snowflake texture. Some of the beef grades can reach Australian M7 to M9 levels.

Although the so-called snowflake beef is somewhat like an IQ tax, Fengmin Agriculture also sells it for a high price.

Anyway, some wealthy people like this food. If Fengmin doesn't sell it, they will go to Japan to eat it, or buy beef from Australia. They simply create a brand of Hulunbuir Black Beef, specializing in high-end beef.

Beidahuang also has its own high-end beef brand called Jiamusi Shorthorn Beef.

High-end beef relies on variety, breeding, and marketing. Anyway, Fengmin and Beidahuang often advertise, and also ask some bloggers to write soft articles, shoot evaluation videos, gourmet videos, etc.

The price of these two brands of high-end beef is basically around 300 to 500 yuan per kilogram. The Libin farm alone sold 24 Hulunbuir black cattle this year, with the average selling price per head reaching 136,000. This is definitely a huge profit. .

Li Bin, who works in a breeding farm, certainly knows that the so-called high-end beef is purely an IQ tax product. Listening to music and drinking beer are just nonsense. At most, they eat better than ordinary cattle and have stricter management, but nothing else. What a difference.

"Team Li, the manager is calling you."

"I know, I'll be there right away."

When Li Bin came to the manager's office, he found several farmers drinking tea inside. When the manager saw him arriving, he gave instructions:

"Abin, these are ranch owners from Eastern Province. They want to buy a batch of Angus frozen beef essence. How much do we have in stock?"

Li Bin reported a number: "There are still more than 2,400 copies, of which 1,400 can be sold."

The manager talked with the ranchers from the Eastern Province for a few minutes, and then decided to cooperate on 600 pieces of frozen beef essence from Angus cattle.

After signing the contract, Li Bin went back to prepare to mobilize the cattle essence in the frozen warehouse. He himself needed to personally lead the team to Mobei Dongfang Province.
