Reborn in Changbai Mountain, I rely on my divine eyes to dig ginseng and hunt
Chapter 715: New Turkey Farming
"She's a nice person, hardworking, but she's a little impatient because of taking care of the kids these past few years. Otherwise, she's fine. She graduated from junior high school and knows most words."
Liu Xialian thought for a moment and said, "Well, I have organized a chicken farming training class in the city. Each training session lasts for seven days. They all teach basic knowledge about veterinary medicine and chicken farming. As a farm manager, you must know all of this. I'll sign her up and let her go and study for a week. Because if you teach her, she won't be happy to learn, and she might even bother you. In the training class, there is that kind of atmosphere, so she has to learn even if she doesn't want to."
"Okay, that's settled then."
Even if a turkey farm grows to 2,000 to 3,000 breeders, it only needs a few people, at most three or five. Grain crushing and feed mixing are all mechanized, and chickens are fed with an electric tricycle, which is not that tiring.
Perhaps the most difficult job is mowing the grass. As a herbivorous bird, turkeys need to eat a lot of grass in spring, summer and autumn. Because the amount required is small, we currently use sickles to mow the grass and pull it back with a tricycle.
"Sister, will this kind of chicken be developed on a large scale in the future?"
"No, this kind of chicken is imported, and it doesn't taste as good as our local chickens. I plan to build a breeding farm here, and then go to my hometown to help alleviate poverty. In comparison, life there is more difficult, with less land and fewer resources. The population is dense, and the internal competition is too severe. When I was going home during the Mid-Autumn Festival, I saw two women pulling their hair and fighting on the side of the road. After asking carefully, it turned out that one of the women was cutting the weeds on the edge of the field. According to local rules, the weeds on the edge of my field belong to me, and outsiders are not allowed to cut them."
Li Xiaofei was shocked: "What's the point of fighting for this weed?"
"It is very useful. We can raise livestock and cook with firewood. There is little land there, so there is little straw. We cannot cut down the trees on the mountain, but we need fuel for life. Turkeys produce more meat than ordinary chickens. When they grow up, they are not afraid of eagles or weasels. It is a good poverty alleviation project. You don't need to raise many. A family can raise seven or eight turkeys, which is enough to change the income of an ordinary family. People who are down-to-earth and hardworking should get rich first. This is a very good project."
"Then we should really go back to our hometowns to help the rural areas and let the hard-working people get rich first."
Why should we let the hard-working people get rich first? Because these small projects require almost no investment. The only thing that needs to be invested is one's own strength and patience. As long as you are willing to work hard, success is inevitable.
"Okay, go back and tell your wife that if she works hard and raises good turkeys, I will hand over the turkey industry to her. In a few years, she will be a manager and each farm will receive dividends."
Li Xiaofei left happily. After a while, Erya came over with her baby. Her little girl looked exactly like Dian Yan, and was so sturdy. She was only four years old and weighed more than 50 kilograms. She was in the kindergarten's small class, and could knock down a first-grade primary school child with one hand.
"Arya, I was just about to come find you. I prepared some turkey. Take a look and choose a night to have turkey stewed with mushrooms. I can make a big pot of it, so there won't be enough to eat."
Arya was stunned: "Why is this chicken so strange? It can even spread its tail. It's bigger than a goose. I'll pick one to take home and stew it."
After searching the shed for a while, he was quite good at choosing and grabbed a big rooster. The turkey was clucking and struggling hard, and it was very strong.
"That's it. Take it back and ask Daya to kill the chicken."
Erya's daughter couldn't bear it and cried loudly: "Mom, you are not allowed to kill the chicken, Mom, you are not allowed to kill the chicken."
He made too much noise, so let it go and let him go.
"Okay, okay, I won't kill the chicken. I won't kill the chicken."
This little girl is an expert at skipping classes. Kindergarten goes to school six days a week, and it's considered good if she can go three or four days.
There's this thing today and that thing tomorrow. It's been half a year, but I still can't write from one to ten. I have bought a lot of notebooks and erasers.
A worker was temporarily arranged to be responsible for the feeding of the turkeys, and Liu Xia Lian called Daya to get busy again.
This afternoon, the city's Animal Husbandry Bureau held a seminar to study whether to classify colorful pheasants as poultry for management, and Liu Xia Lian was invited to attend.
Throughout Changbai Mountain, people hunt colorful pheasants everywhere, but if you want to say who started raising them earlier and in greater numbers, it must be Liu Xialian, who has a large number, a large scale, and an egg farm.
There are three chicken farms and more than 100 franchised breeders. Every year, millions of colorful pheasants are transported to the south by train and supplied to the southern tables.
There is actually nothing much to discuss, it is mainly an industry standard.
The meeting was held in the Animal Husbandry Bureau meeting room, and there were quite a lot of people. However, more than 80% of them were Liu Xialian's breeders, and only a dozen were rising stars.
Liu Xialian suggested reducing all unnecessary antibiotics and injections. Necessary drugs must be low-residue ones, and no drugs should be used in the first half month before the pheasants are released. Pheasants should be fed with grain-processed feed as the main food, supplemented by wild grass, vegetables, fruits, and the exercise area must be large, and closed pheasant farming is strictly prohibited.
Before he finished speaking, a man in his thirties raised an objection: "It's just raising pheasants, but you have to give them food, vegetables, and a playground, and you can't feed them any medicine half a month before they are ready for slaughter. Isn't this too strict? I've never been that serious when serving my father."
This immediately caused laughter, and what he said was what some people were thinking.
Someone immediately objected: "This is different. Pheasants are eaten for meat. Being bad to your father is at most a moral issue. However, if you don't raise pheasants properly, and the drug content in the pheasants exceeds the standard and the taste is bad, then it is a livelihood issue, which affects the entire industry chain. No one eats our stewed chickens, and you can't sell your chickens, which ruins the jobs of the chicken farmers. My meaning is very clear. I support the standards proposed by Director Liu and strictly control food safety. Let consumers eat with confidence and boldly."
This man is the owner of Liu Xia Lian’s restaurant, a newly opened brand restaurant called Northeastern Fried Chicken, whose signature dish is pheasant stewed with mushrooms.
The director who presided over the meeting cleared his throat and said: "Our Changbai Mountain pheasant breeding is at the forefront of the country. I think this is a very good opportunity. In order to develop together, it is very important to strictly control the breeding standards. Everything from veterinary drugs to breeding sites needs to be taken seriously."
In fact, the meeting is just a formality. What to do has already been decided. You are allowed to express different opinions, but it is useless.
The breeding of colorful pheasants and flying dragon birds is classified as poultry, and the breeding of sika deer and roe deer is classified as livestock. No approval or formalities are required for breeding poultry and livestock. Musk deer, black bears, and badgers are classified as medicinal breeding animals and require special approval.
In comparison, Feilong Bird has high profits, but low sales volumes.
Local people still prefer to eat wild ones. When wild ones are listed as protected animals, farmed ones will become popular. At present, the flying dragon birds farmed by farmers are mainly sold to the south to provide a delicious food for southerners.
