Chapter 265 Producing the most milk with the fewest cows
After Guo Yang left Qu Yang's office, he happened to see Luo Xiu going out and said, "Come to my office later."
"Okay, I'll put something away."
Guo Yang looked at Luo Xiu, who was holding a pile of repair tools in his hand, which should be for repairing cars.
Guo Yang didn't pay much attention. After returning to the office, he made himself a cup of tea and thought about his next itinerary.
The investigation into red duck eggs and milk may take some time to produce results.
The processing process will not be that simple, and there will definitely be some twists and turns.
Especially when it comes to the dairy industry, this is even more trouble within trouble, and it will take two or three months to get results quickly.
During this period, Hexi Dairy must first complete a self-examination.
Nothing to say.
He must take action on this matter, and some major regions across the country must take a look at it, in order to attract the attention of everyone in the group.
I also took the opportunity to learn about other projects. Not long after, Luo Xiu came.
Guo Yang asked: "Is there anything wrong with the car?"
"It's not a big problem, it's just that the kilometers are high. Prepare some tools in case you need it."
"That's just right, I just have to go to some places next, Jiuquan, Lanzhou, Gannan, Yunnan, Guangdong, along the coast to the east, and then to the north."
"Plan your itinerary first and try to finish it in half a month."
Luo Xiu looked surprised. There were so many places and the itinerary was dense enough, but his good qualities still made him calm down. Come down.
“Okay.”
Luo Xiu pondered for a moment and said, “I’ll go and get a schedule.”
“Okay, let me take a look at it this afternoon. .”
Wait for Luo Xiu to leave.
Guo Yang began to think about the remaining things, mainly some general directions.
Tianhe’s seed sales,
Alfalfa’s wasteland development,
Fengkai’s agricultural machinery research and development,
The grain storage and futures of Jiahe Grain and Oil...
I went to have a hasty meal at noon without much rest. It took me an entire afternoon to explain the more important things that came to mind.
The work intensity is still quite high, but Guo Yang is still in high spirits and feels like he can fight for a few more hours.
The results of consistent exercise have come out.
The next long-term business trip should not be a big problem. Isn’t it just to take good care of your body to cope with work better?
After finishing the last task, Guo Yang got up and moved around before getting ready to go to the cafeteria for dinner.
After walking out of the office, I saw that some of the original green plants in the park had been cleared away.
A few dark-skinned old farmers, wearing headscarves and bending over with hoes, were raking the soil in the greenway.
Besides, a dozen pots of golden green plants were placed aside. Their color was like a wheat field under the setting sun, shining with a warm and deep light.
Golden Flame Spiraea.
Guo Yang recognized him at a glance.
One of the twenty flowers he cultivated, it is also a herbaceous plant to be precise. The new leaves are orange-red, the old leaves are yellow-green, and turn to crimson or purple in autumn and winter.
Usually used as garden plants.
Guo Yang spent 1 point of natural energy to simply tame it, making its color more vivid and changeable.
The flowering period is also longer lasting.
Guo Yang looked at the actual effect for a while and found that it was indeed very good. Although it was not as prosperous as spring, it also added a bit of vitality and agility to this quiet autumn day.
There are two young girls nearby directing the construction.
Guo Yang stepped forward and asked: "Is it just meadowsweet? There are no other plants."
The two girls had fair skin. When someone came to ask, they thought it was Jiahe. of managers.
One of the taller girls said: "Jiahe arranged this meadowsweet, and the two of us are responsible for designing it."
"Oh."
Guo Yang nodded and said, "How did I tell you the design requirements?"
The taller girl named Ma Lu smiled and said: "Bye, Mr. Yan. He didn’t mention the request, he just said that all Tianhe’s own plants should be used.”
The corner of Guo Yang’s mouth twitched, Yan Qun would arrange the work.
This design is really simple and crude.
Guo Yang asked: "What do you do?"
"You opened a flower shop in the city."
"Oh."
"Then you first Busy."
Looking at the slender figure, the other girl couldn't help but frown, "Sister Lu, why are you talking to him?"
They came over in the afternoon to carry out the design. Unexpectedly, Jiahe was already eagerly preparing for construction.
Is this Jiahe efficiency?
Design and construction at the same time?
I didn't do much business this afternoon, but there were a lot of people who came to ask questions.
Ma Lu smiled and said: "What's the point? It's rare to cooperate with Jiahe. There will be promotional materials in the future."
"What's more, I have seen so many flowers cultivated by Jiahe. I have never seen the golden flame spirea in front of me with various colors."
"This trip is a profitable one."
Another girl thought of Tianhe's ever-changing nursery and said, "Among other things, Jiahe's flower varieties are really novel."
"It is a seed company after all."
……
Qilian is towering, and the distant mountains are like black daisy.
The long sunshine hours, sufficient solar radiation, large temperature difference between day and night, and low air humidity here make it an excellent milk source zone.
Starting from Jiuquan City, drive all the way north, passing through cities and villages, and entering the depths of the grassland.
The beautiful picture of lush water and grass, cattle and sheep everywhere shows its meaning.
The Qilian Mountain Ranch has arrived.
One of the most important ranches in Jiahe here.
Originally, there were still patches of bare land, but now it has been covered with vegetation again. The results of grassland ecological construction are gratifying.
Guo Yang specially asked Luo Xiu to change to a pickup truck. The car was stopped before it entered the management area of the ranch.
“What do you do?”
“From the group company.”
The security guard frowned and walked forward, looking at Luo Xiu and the people in the back row.
Guo Yang lowered the window.
"Ah, Chairman." The security guard stood up straight.
“I’ll go in and take a look.”
After successfully entering, Guo Yang had a good sense of the entire ranch.
This is the natural farm and pasture of Hexi Dairy, with a blue sky on top and green grass on the ground.
With completely free development, cows also regard milking as a pleasure, rather than a machine that only produces milk.
Like human beings, it also has spirituality and needs emotional adjustment.
Each cow has its own name and file, and they are all excellent breeds that have been screened repeatedly.
Equipped with full-time doctors and nutritionists.
It only takes 4 hours for milk to go from farm to processing line.
Operating at low temperatures is the first hurdle for Hexi Dairy.
Managers at the scene had already noticed his arrival, but they still did what they had to do.
Guo Yang came to the cowshed. It was the time to feed the cows, and the staff was calmly mixing the feed.
Qi Dong, the on-site manager of the dairy farm, introduced: "Put a layer of silage, add a layer of concentrate, add a layer of beer grains, and finally turn it over mechanically."
"This is the entire feeding process."
Guo Yang also observed that the silage is mainly alfalfa silage, while the concentrate is mostly a mixture of soybean meal, corn, alfalfa meal, bran, etc.
Seeing that the boss was interested in feed, Qi Dong continued: "With continuous research and development, the feed structure has also become richer, but the main body is still roughage + concentrated feed."
"Roughage is alfalfa Silage accounts for a large proportion and has the greatest impact on milk production and quality."
Guo Yang asked curiously: "How big is the impact now?"
Qi Dong smiled and said: "We have done some experiments and found that the average daily milk production of cows fed alfalfa for a long time increased by 1.2kg."
"Milk protein, milk fat and dry matter pass through multiple The test results also increased by 0.67, 0.69, and 0.75 percentage points respectively."
Guo Yang raised his eyebrows and said, "It doesn't seem to be very high!"
Qi Dong was stunned. He stood there, thought for a while, and said, "That's because our base is high."
"The average annual milk production per cow in the pasture I stayed at was only 4 to 5 tons. It is also the current average level in the country.”
"The average output of Qilian Mountain pastures exceeds 13 tons. Even in other pastures in Hexi, there are many with an average annual milk production of more than 10 tons per head."
"The average milk production exceeds 10 tons. This level , even in the world, it is one of the best ranches.”
“And Hexi’s milk protein and milk fat content have all reached the world’s top levels.”
Qi Dongyue said more and more. Excited, Guo Yang also understood the reason. The experiment was done with Hexi cows. This was a big gift package from the seed store.
Guo Yang said: "Well done."
He hadn't paid attention to these parameters for a while. After listening for a while, he realized that Hexi Dairy had reached an incredible level.
The output is more than twice the domestic average output.
But this is nothing to be proud of. The level of domestic milk sources has long lagged far behind the world average.
“You want a market, not a pasture.”
This is the development model first adopted by Sanlu in the 1980s, and it is also the model currently commonly used in China.
Disband the large-scale ranches of dairy companies, transfer cost pressure to dairy farmers, and achieve unconventional development.
In the end, the current contradiction in milk supply has formed. The output cannot increase, and the quality cannot improve. If you want better products, you can only force dairy farmers.
There is no doubt that this is drinking poison to quench thirst, and will only end in a lose-lose situation for both dairy farmers and dairy companies.
Hexi Dairy is completely different.
Many self-operated ranches have been built across the country, 1,000, 3,000, 5,000, 10,000...
Regardless of size, feeding standards and management levels are guaranteed.
There is also the best pasture available. After spending a whole morning, I carefully looked at every corner and link of the ranch. Qilian Mountain Ranch did not live up to Guo Yang's expectations.
After viewing the last piece of pasture, the grass was already a little withered and yellow.
“Okay, just look here.”
Seeing that the two of them were about to leave, Qi Dong quickly said: "Chairman, let's go after lunch. The sheep has been stewed. It's pure natural and absolutely delicious."
After walking all morning, Guo Yang I'm really hungry, and I don't know how long it will take to get to the airport.
"Then go and try it."
To Guo Yang's surprise, the place where the sheep were eaten was not in the pasture, but in two inconspicuous bungalows outside the pasture.
The aroma of stewed mutton is overflowing. The aroma is rich and mellow, floating in the air, arousing Guo Yang's appetite.
Several people have gathered here.
"Chairman."
"Boss."
Qi Dong said: "These are all colleagues in the field. I asked them to come over first to prepare."
Then he pointed at a herdsman and said, "This is Wangjiang, and the sheep belong to his family."
Guo Yang looked at Wang Jiang, a simple man with a flushed face, "It's troublesome."
Wang Jiang smiled and said, "It's not troublesome, I'll also take advantage of it, Hexi After arriving, he helped me find a new pasture. What’s the point of eating a sheep?”
Guo Yang looked puzzled.
Qi Dong said: "It is said to be a grazing spot, but it is actually a harvested corn field. The straw is so dense that the sheep can only eat the corn leaves."
Wang Jiang also laughed and said : "It's good to have bract leaves. Compared with withered and yellow pasture, these straws have higher nutritional value. It's the peak period for sheep to give birth, so we can't lack milk and lose fat."
The corn field may be Tianhe's seed production base, or other cooperative farmers.
It’s really the best use of everything.
Guo Yang thought of Tianyu No. 8, a high-quality protein corn variety, a drought-tolerant variety, with a protein corn content of 12.2% in the whole plant and high yield.
It cost him 267 points of natural energy.
Can be used as both grain and feed.
It can be used as corn silage on the cob and can also be used as roughage. Compared with Alfalfa No. 1, the advantage is that it consumes very little water.
It is also one of the main varieties for next year.
Wang Jiang opened the lid of the pot and saw that the mutton in the pot was stewed softly, and every piece was soaked with rich soup.
“Eat, eat it while it’s hot.”
Guo Yang had been seduced by the aroma for so long that he couldn’t help it anymore, so he picked up a piece and put it in his mouth.
The fibers of the meat gently collapse in the mouth, releasing a rich meaty aroma that blends perfectly with the deliciousness of the soup.
The quality of the mutton is particularly good, tender, smooth, fragrant and delicious, which dispels the chill of late autumn.
……
It is convenient to have a plane. Guo Yang arrived in Lanzhou in the afternoon.
Hexi Dairy Industry has built an industrial demonstration park with 10,000 cows here, with an annual output of 55,000 tons of fresh milk.
From forage cultivation, dairy farming, raw milk processing, and organic fertilizer production, to efficient agricultural planting and suburban eco-tourism construction.
Guo Yang went through the same inspection process again.
Compared with Qilian Ranch, Lanzhou Ranch has some minor problems, but Guo Yang criticized it more severely.
Gansu, as one of the five largest pastoral areas in the country, has extremely vast pasture resources.
Gannan Grassland, Qilian Mountains, West Qinling Mountains, Maxian Mountain...
The conditions for developing animal husbandry are unique.
“Boss, why don’t you rest in the city for a night?”
Guo Yang shook his head, “Let’s go to Gannan and rest there.”
Through From the car window, Guo Yang saw the vastness and desolation in the northwest. The vegetation on the hillside was withered and desolate.
At the foot of the hillside, a barren stretch of dead branches attracted Guo Yang's attention.
"That is?"
The driver took a look, with pride on his face, and said: "The bitter water rose, but it has entered the dormant period now."
Relying on the world-famous bitter water Rose, Yongdeng County was once the richest district and county in Gansu.
But now there is a trend of decline.
……
After staying in the office for a long time, when I go out for a walk, I suddenly feel that the world is vast and my spirit is uplifted.
Especially this is the Gannan grassland with an altitude of more than 3,000 meters. The vast grassland is covered with white snow.
Three years ago, this place was plagued by rats. Looking around, you can see dense black earth mounds, and the endless grassland is dotted with rat holes.
Black soil, sandstorms, no grass, cattle and sheep are getting thinner and thinner, and countless people have died of starvation.
“Build dams to divert water, fill drainage ditches, guide herdsmen to graze rationally...”
"Alfalfa has provided batches of excellent forage seeds, and ice wolfgrass, purple arrow pea, and alfalfa No. 1 have taken root here."
"3,200 eagle nests and 12,800 scaffoldings, let The eagle, which has lived on the cliffs for a long time, gradually chooses a new way of life."
"An old man sold his cattle and sheep, rented out his pasture, and settled down at Guomao Beach on the shores of Gahai Lake. When the water birds migrated. , he patrolled, and when the waterfowl were short of food, he bought corn to feed, and took care of the injured black-necked crane, letting it return to nature..."
Now the place has changed greatly, with lush water plants and rippling blue waves.
The chill in the wind is already strong, and walking into the grassland in this season seems a bit abrupt.
Winter always arrives early in the grasslands, with snow falling just the day before, making the snow-capped mountains even more charming and solemn.
The off-road vehicle drove along National Highway 213. When it arrived at the shore of Gahai Lake, the cascading clouds were reflected in the lake, and the lake and sky were the same color, which was beautiful.
When we set foot on the Maqu Plateau and reached the Yellow River Bridge, the sky was gloomy, the Yellow River flowed slowly, and the beautiful scenery seemed extremely profound.
The destination has arrived.
Asia’s number one grassland.
There are more than 12.88 million acres of contiguous and concentrated natural high-quality grassland within the territory.
As well as 5.6 million acres of wetland, 27 first-level tributaries, and more than 10 lakes, it is a natural reservoir on the way of the Yellow River, providing 45% of its flow.
Luo Xiu drove an off-road vehicle on the grassland, while the employees of Hexi Dairy rode a big white horse and held a whip in hand, which looked very majestic.
Guo Yang was really envious and muttered to himself, "I must learn to ride a horse."
In this pure world, the semi-sheltered dairy farm has become a unique landscape.
Breeding in pastoral areas, fattening in agricultural areas, planting grass in agricultural areas, supplementary feeding in pastoral areas...
Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry has established a 3,000-acre high-quality grass seed breeding base here, with an artificial grass planting area of tens of thousands of acres.
This is the milk source output base of Hexi Dairy's infant milk powder.
……
Yunnan.
Tucheng Village.
In this small village, alfalfa is planted all over the mountains and fields.
The soil here is acidic and the climate is not the most suitable, but the villagers still like to grow alfalfa.
Just because it makes money.
Hexi Dairy has 100,000 dairy cows in Yunnan, Guangdong and Fujian, and its annual demand for fresh alfalfa is 250,000 tons.
Driven farmers to plant more than 30,000 acres of alfalfa.
We have built tens of thousands of square meters of factory buildings, integrating drying, cutting, baling and other industrial production lines to produce high-quality alfalfa bales and send them to the surrounding areas.
The company purchases fresh grass at a price of 170 yuan/ton. Based on the production of 10 tons of fresh grass per mu this year, the annual income per mu is 1,700 yuan.
Just one village and 1,000 acres of land can increase income by 1.7 million yuan. Including labor income, Tucheng Village can generate an annual income of 2.3 million yuan.
There are dozens of such villages in the southwest.
Only good cows and good grass can produce good milk.
……
Guangdong.
Hexi Dairy has several pastures of 3,000 to 5,000 heads here.
The general manager of the branch is called Bai Hongqiao. He is not tall, but has a strong body and is also very talkative.
"The dairy consumption market in Guangdong has grown significantly in the past two years, especially consumer demand for high-quality fresh milk."
"Insufficient milk supply is the biggest problem plaguing local dairy companies."
Besides, Wang Dingmian, the cannon of the dairy industry, said: "Hexi Dairy has made a big deal!"
"In the past two years, dairy companies and ranchers, dairy companies and dairy companies, have been fighting for each other at this time every year. It’s a tough battle for milk sources.”
“No matter whether we expand or build new pastures, it will take another two years for cows to produce milk.”
Guo Yang smiled and said: "The quality of Hexi Dairy should be able to meet the growing needs of the people of Guangdong, right?"
Wang Dingmian gave a thumbs up, "In terms of quality, you are indeed impeccable. It is naturally fragrant and refreshing. Lubricate the mouth. "
"Qilian Mountain fresh milk is outstanding, but people always complain that the supply is insufficient."
"The number of dairy cows in Hexi is expanding rapidly." Yang smiled. Being able to obtain quality certification from Dairy Cannon made him feel that this trip was unnecessary.
The trip has been wonderful up to this point, with only a few minor problems.
But heading north along the coast, problems began to increase. Some were acquired defects and some were management loopholes.
Thanks to the excellent quality of the milk source, Hexi Milk has always been a representative of high-quality milk.
At this time, Ji Zhuowen had also contacted advertising companies, as well as some mainstream TV channels, and even CCTV agreed to do a program.
Then he also led people to start a comprehensive inspection of quality control.
The two cooperated with each other and made a series of adjustments, eliminating some bad apples and making management smoother.
This time I ran down.
What surprised Guo Yang the most was that the cost of Hexi Dairy has dropped significantly.
Compared with enterprises such as Yilimeng Niu, Hexi produces more than 10 tons of high-quality milk per cow per year, giving it an unparalleled advantage.
The reason why the profit is only about 20% is because the cost of a series of investments such as milk source bases, factories, and cold chain logistics in the past few years has been significantly allocated.
According to the current production efficiency, it will take up to two years before the more than 5 billion invested by Hexi Dairy can be fully recovered.
It is true that the least cows are used to produce the most milk.
