After breakfast, Zhou Ziwen and Chen Shiying went to the production team to gather.
Technician Chen is the protagonist of today’s morning meeting.
Wu Dagang and the team leader took Technician Chen to the stage and introduced them to everyone with an iron horn.
"Let me introduce to you, this is Technician Chen from the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. He will provide professional technical guidance to the pig farm in our village in the coming days. Everyone is welcome!" After Wu Dagang finished speaking, he was the first to applaud.
The members in the audience also applauded.
"Now, I'd like to ask Technician Chen to give a speech to everyone."
As he said that, Wu Dagang handed over the iron horn.
Technician Chen took the iron horn sheepishly, "Hello everyone, my name is Chen Guowei. I am very happy to come to Dabazi Village and work hard for pig raising with everyone."
"I I will do my best to share the breeding knowledge and techniques I know with everyone, and hope that together we can raise Landrace pigs well."
Chen Guowei's speech was short and sincere, which won the audience even more enthusiasm. of applause.
Wu Dagang took the iron horn again and continued: "Everyone, Technician Chen is a distinguished guest of our village. His professional knowledge and experience are very valuable to us. I hope everyone can actively cooperate with Technician Chen's work in the days to come. , study breeding techniques seriously and make our pig farm better and better.”
…
The members have a good impression of Technician Chen, and they all know that this is the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry. Experts specially sent to guide them in raising pigs.
The team leader also took the stage and delivered a brief speech. He emphasized the importance of this cooperation and encouraged everyone to cherish this rare learning opportunity.
After the morning meeting was over, Zhou Ziwen went to the mushroom planting base for a while.
Seeing that there was nothing going on here, he came to the pig farm.
When Zhou Ziwen arrived at the pig farm, Chen Guowei had already started his inspection of the pig house.
He carefully observed the activities and eating conditions of each piglet, and recorded the data in his notebook from time to time. Zhou Ziwen felt quite satisfied when he saw Chen Guowei's focused look.
As expected of a researcher at the College of Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, he is professional in his work.
"Technician Chen, do you see any problems with our pig house?" Zhou Ziwen walked up and asked politely.
Chen Guowei raised his head and replied with a smile: "Team Leader Zhou, the overall condition of your pig house is good. It can be seen that you have put a lot of effort into the construction."
"Yes, in order to build this pig farm , we have also invested considerable energy." Zhou Ziwen sighed.
"Please rest assured, Team Leader Zhou, Landrace pigs are an excellent breed. As long as they can be successfully bred, I believe it will bring considerable economic benefits to Dabazi Village."
Chen The technician said confidently.
Obviously, he has great confidence in Landrace pigs.
"Well, I also think breeding Landrace pigs is a good choice."
Zhou Ziwen nodded in agreement.
After chatting with Researcher Chen for a while, the two became very familiar with each other, and even their names changed.
"By the way, Ziwen, I saw the biological feed you made, but I don't know how to use it. Can you teach me?" Chen Guowei asked a little embarrassed.
“Of course.” Zhou Ziwen nodded, “Guowei, in fact, the dosage of biological feed is similar to that of ordinary feed, the difference is not big.”
"Is there anything special that needs to be paid attention to when using it?" Chen Guowei asked.
“First of all, biological feed must be fresh and used as soon as possible once opened to avoid prolonged exposure to the air. This can maintain the activity of microorganisms. Secondly, it is best to mix it with a certain proportion of conventional feed. , This will allow the pigs to adapt better," Zhou Ziwen explained.
“So that’s it.” Chen Guowei suddenly realized, “Then can we use it now?”
Zhou Ziwen nodded, “Yes, we can test it on a small scale first. We will observe the acceptance and growth response of pigs to biological feed, and then gradually expand the scope of use according to the situation.”
Chen Guowei strongly agrees with this proposal. As a researcher, he is also more rigorous in his work.
If he used it in large quantities from the beginning, he was really worried that something would go wrong. But if you do it step by step, there will be no problem.
Even if there are any problems, they can be discovered and adjusted in time.
Then the two began small batch experiments.
After feeding the piglets, Zhou Ziwen found Li Lei and discussed the biogas pit with him.
With his construction skills already in place, it's time to build a digester.
This matter should be done sooner rather than later. Taking advantage of the support from the commune, we should try our best to complete the biogas digester first.
If it is too late, it will be difficult to obtain the materials for building a biogas digester.
The reason why Zhou Ziwen wanted to build a biogas digester was also based on the idea of recycling waste.
Biogas can not only be used as gas, but can also be used to generate electricity, which can be said to have many benefits.
For example, although Dabazi Village has electricity now, people are still accustomed to using kerosene lamps because the electricity bill is relatively expensive.
Even at Zhou Ziwen’s house, he doesn’t have much time to turn on the lights.
For the villagers, electric lights are just a benefit but not a real thing.
It is not open except when guests come to the house.
But if the biogas digester is built, everyone will not have to spend money to use electricity in the future.
Of course, pig farming has just begun and there is not so much pig manure yet.
Fifty piggies are of no use at all.
If you really want the whole village to have access to electric lights, you have to develop a pig farm.
Generally speaking, a ten cubic meter biogas pool can satisfy a family's needs for electric lights, cooking, water boiling, etc.
If you just use electric lights, ten cubic meters can feed several households.
In addition to biogas, biogas pools also include biogas liquid and biogas residue.
Biogas slurry and biogas residue can be used to fertilize crops, and the effect is very good.
The biogas pool has no technical content. Zhou Ziwen talked to Li Lei, and he arranged for some people to come over and let Zhou Ziwen direct it at will.
With Zhou Ziwen's guidance, the biogas pool is still easy to set up.
After all, he planned the biogas digester when he built the pig farm.
I was busy until noon, and when work was about to end, Zhou Ziwen went home early.
At this moment, Chen Qiaoyi is holding little Yueyue and playing with Tayun and Little Budian in the yard.
The animals at home are very good to little Yueyue.
As long as little Yueyue is awake, these guys will come close to protect little Yueyue's safety, but also want to play with her.
"Brother Ziwen, you are back!" Chen Qiaoyi saw Zhou Ziwen and greeted him with a smile, "Why is it so early today?"
Zhou Ziwen k Come on! How about you watch the child while I cook?"
Chen Qiaoyi said on her own initiative.
Hearing Chen Qiaoyi's words, Zhou Ziwen felt warm in his heart. He knew that Chen Qiaoyi felt sorry for him and didn't want to make him too tired.
"That's fine, I've worked hard for you today, wife." Zhou Ziwen replied with a smile, and brought little Yueyue over, letting her sit in his arms and rocking her gently. (End of chapter)
