Chapter 895 Support
Everyone was a little surprised to hear Zhou Ziwen’s explanation.
The establishment of the mushroom planting base gave Zhou Ziwen a huge reputation in the village.
Last year alone, everyone shared a lot of money and food.
So everyone is very grateful to him.
When he said he wanted to raise pigs, although there was a lot of discussion in the room, no one objected.
Wu Dagang nodded with satisfaction when he saw the reaction of the villagers.
He took over Zhou Ziwen's words and continued: "Everyone, it is thanks to Ziwen that our village can build a pig farm this time. He not only proposed this idea, but also worked with the provincial agricultural college Cooperation was reached.”
When the villagers heard Wu Dagang’s words, they started talking louder.
The provincial Agricultural College, these words combined, instantly made them feel a little taller.
Wu Dagang raised his voice and continued: "In this cooperation, the Agricultural College will not only provide us with piglets for free, but also send professional technicians to guide us in raising pigs. This is a great opportunity for our village."
"Free piglets? And technical guidance?" a villager asked excitedly.
“Yes, these are the special support given by the Agricultural College to our village in order to promote new pig breeds.” Wu Dagang nodded with a smile.
"Then will we be able to have our own pork to eat soon?" Another villager also asked excitedly.
"Haha, that's for sure. When the pigs grow big, every household in our village will be able to get pork." The captain also added with a smile.
Upon hearing the good news, the villagers were overjoyed.
They whispered to each other and discussed the pig farm, and everyone had a happy smile on their faces.
But some people wonder why such a good thing happened to them?
Providing piglets for free and providing guidance, how can there be such a good thing in the world?
Wu Dagang noticed the doubts of the villagers. He smiled and explained: "You may be wondering why the Agricultural College gives us such great support."
"Actually, this is because our village's success in mushroom cultivation has allowed the Agricultural College to see our potential and efforts."
"They believe that we can successfully breed new breeds of pigs and can bring this into This successful experience can be extended to other places. ”
“Moreover, the Agricultural College also has their own goals and tasks. They need to promote new breeds of pigs within a certain period of time and improve the breeding level of the province. ”
“Our village is willing to cooperate, which is an important step for them to complete these tasks.” Wu Dagang continued.
"So, this is not only the support given to us by the Agricultural College, but also an opportunity for our village to show its capabilities. As long as we can successfully breed, we can bring more development opportunities to the village." Zhou Ziwen added road.
When the villagers heard Wu Dagang and Zhou Ziwen's explanations, their doubts gradually dissipated, but their curiosity was aroused.
A villager couldn't help but ask: "Ziwen, Secretary Wu, what kind of pig is this new breed of pig? Is it any different from the pigs we usually raise?"
< br>Zhou Ziwen smiled and nodded. He knew that this question would be asked sooner or later, so he had already prepared the answer: "This new breed of pig is called Landrace pig, which is a white-haired pig."
< br>"White-haired pig? But aren't all pigs black?"
"Yes! What does a white-haired pig look like? I have never seen a white-haired pig!"
Seeing everyone talking incessantly, Zhou Ziwen motioned for everyone to be quiet.
When everyone calmed down, he explained, "Landrace pig is an excellent pig breed. Its coat is white, and it is different from the pigs we usually raise."
“But Landrace pigs grow very fast. Generally speaking, their growth cycle is much shorter than that of the black pigs we raise, and they can reach the slaughter standard faster.”
In fact, there is another advantage of Landrace pigs. He hasn't mentioned the advantages yet.
That is, the lean meat rate is high and the fat content is relatively low. But in this era, this advantage is more of a disadvantage than an advantage.
Compared with lean meat, everyone prefers fat and oily pork.
But no matter what, this kind of Landrace pig is the most suitable for large-scale breeding.
The key is that this kind of pig has a long body and is ready for slaughter quickly.
It may take a year or more for ordinary black pigs to be released for slaughter.
If the breeding conditions are suitable, Landrace pigs can be ready for slaughter in about half a year to eight months.
In this way, the village can obtain profits faster and expand the scale of breeding faster.
However, everyone is still a little worried about Zhou Ziwen’s intention to raise white-haired pigs.
"It sounds good, but is this kind of pig easy to raise? We have never raised this kind of pig before."
An older villager asked with some worry.
Zhou Ziwen understood the concerns of the folks, and he said frankly:
“It is true that the breeding of Landrace pigs is more difficult than our traditional pig breeds.”
“They have a negative impact on the breeding environment and The feed requirements are relatively high and require more careful management and care.”
“However, the Agricultural College will send professional technicians to guide us and help us solve the problems encountered during the breeding process.”
"Moreover, I will also participate in the whole breeding process and learn new breeding techniques with everyone." Zhou Ziwen continued.
“In addition, although Landrace pigs are more difficult to breed, their economic benefits are also higher.”
“As long as we can overcome the initial difficulties and successfully breed Landrace pigs, then I believe that the pig farming in our village will The industry will usher in a new stage of development," Zhou Ziwen encouraged.
After hearing Zhou Ziwen’s words, the villagers were still a little worried, but they were more hopeful and confident.
They know that Zhou Ziwen will never let them down. Since he said that Landrace pigs can be raised, he must have a reason.
"Ziwen, we all believe in you. We will do whatever you say." A villager said firmly.
"Yes, Ziwen, we will follow you. If you let us go east, we will never go west." Another villager also agreed.
"Old Li Tou, you just said that Ziwen rang should go east, but you would never go west. What if Ziwen rang goes north? Are you lost?" A villager joked.
When Lao Li heard this, a simple and honest smile appeared on his face. He waved his hand and said with a smile: "To the north? Then I will go north. As long as you follow Ziwen, you are not afraid of getting lost. No big deal. If you walk more, you can always reach somewhere."
His words caused a burst of laughter, but this alone was enough to prove how high Zhou Ziwen's prestige was in Dabazi Village.
The villagers joked with each other, and the atmosphere was relaxed and happy.
Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart when he saw how happy everyone was.
He knew that behind these jokes was the villagers' trust in him and their support for the pig farm project.
Wu Dagang and the team leader were very pleased to see the villagers being so active.
“If we all work together, we will be able to build a pig farm and raise Landrace pigs well.” Wu Dagang said with a smile.
