Seeing that spring is about to begin, Zhang Chao also issued the latest instructions to the stewards of the Zhang family.
"Build a row of pigs on the side of the bathing ditch, go buy some sow pups, and we raise the sows."
Raising sows is to prepare for the future pig raising business, to raise a large number of pigs, piglets are indispensable, but there is no pig farm outside, relying on sporadic buying piglets is too troublesome.
Therefore, you still have to rely on yourself, build a sow farm first, and then you will be able to give birth to cubs next year, and then there will be piglets on the farm.
Pig raising is an indispensable part of ecological farming.
Several fermentation tanks have to be built behind the pig farm, and the biogas slurry will be fed to the fish and pigs, and the biogas residue will be used to fertilize the fields and trees.
"How many sow cubs to buy" "Get as many as you can get first, a hundred must be needed, and two hundred is not too much.
I remember that if there are boar cubs, I will buy them back and keep some as breeding pigs, and the rest will be castrated when they grow to dozens of catties to be made pigs. ” It is also beneficial to build your own sow farm, not only do you not have to bother to find piglets when you raise pigs in the future, but you can also sell piglets.
Sows are well raised, and selling piglets is more cost-effective than raising pigs.
Piglets are quite expensive, if you are a little darker like some people, and keep them for a little longer before they disperse, a little piglet can be very valuable.
"From now on, you can go and collect the eggs, eggs, duck eggs, and goose eggs, and this has to be collected by experienced women, collect the fresh eggs that have just been laid for a short time, and bring them back to hatch the eggs."
"San Lang, we don't have so many old chickens" Someone asked a question, hatching eggs, this has to have an old hen.
Zhang Chao smiled, "Who told you that there must be an old chicken to hatch eggs, I will teach you a good way, don't we have a kang can build some egg incubation rooms, which are built on the kang, as long as you look at the temperature on the kang, and then put some grain bran on the kang, etc., this is actually the same as a hen holding the nest and incubating eggs." ” "This can also work," one person was surprised.
"Of course, it works" those egg hatcheries in later generations are all electricity, but the same is with the kang, the most important thing for incubating eggs is the temperature, as long as the temperature is up, the kang is also the same to incubate the eggs.
The first is to pay attention to the temperature of the eggs, and the second is to choose good eggs.
In the past, Zhang Chao saw that his grandmother in the countryside had to choose eggs when she hatched chicks, and when she took the eggs to the light, she could see the egg halo inside, and then the halo was fundamentally different, so you could know which was a good egg and which was a bad egg.
The housewives in the rural areas of the Tang Dynasty basically raised chickens and ducks, and they were very familiar with this.
"Collect the eggs first, and then you can try a few nests first, chickens, ducks and geese, find a way, accumulate some experience, and when you have almost mastered it, then you can start to hatch a lot."
We have almost 20,000 acres of ditch slopes, so my plan is that we will hatch 10,000 chickens, ducks and geese in the first batch this year. ” "10,000 each" Everyone was very surprised, what a big stroke, 10,000, just open your mouth.
Usually, there are more than ten or twenty hatches at a time, and there are still old hens with them, and tens of thousands of them are made at once, and then how to raise these chicks, ducklings, and goslings "When you go to the ditch and slope over there, surround a few places in the undeveloped area, and try to separate the chickens, ducks and geese as much as possible, and don't get 10,000 chickens together, just a thousand around one piece, and the place is bigger.
The inside is covered with chicken sheds, duck sheds, and goose sheds.
We feed them every day and let them find something to eat on their own. ” Zhang Chao asked for a thousand and a thousand to be raised, also to prevent diseases.
Chicken and duck breeding, the most afraid is to get sick, and the number of breeding is too large, the site is small, the most likely to get sick.
Once you get sick, sometimes you will die all at once.
Let the chickens be semi-free-range, in fact, it is also to enhance the resistance to disease, and the general rural free-range chickens rarely get sick. 1,000 chickens are raised in one place, which is also a better way for Zhang Chao to prevent illness now.
"Remember that the ducks are around the water's edge, and you should enclose a piece of water to go in so that the ducks can go to the water to draw water."
Raising chickens and ducks, you still have to feed some feed in the early stage, sorghum beans and even the distiller's grains left over from winery brewing can be processed into feed for chickens, ducks, geese, pigs and cattle.
When the time comes, you can also find a way to raise some earthworms, which is the favorite of chickens and ducks, and when there are fish in the river, you can often catch some fish and shrimp for chickens and ducks to eat, not only to give them fresh to eat, but also to dry and break up for feed.
"Buy some more cattle and sheep to raise."
There are nearly 20,000 acres of land, and only a small part of it has been developed for the time being, so some of them are barren slopes, especially many places that cannot be developed for the time being, but those miscellaneous trees and shrubs will be cut down and burned.
After cutting and burning, a lot of grass will grow on these barren slopes, which is the most suitable for raising cattle and sheep.
Ecological breeding, cattle and sheep eat grass, manure can be fermented to make fertilizer, fat trees and fields to fatten fish.
Backed by Chang'an, a capital city with a population of hundreds of thousands, Zhang Chao does not have to worry about the production and marketing of ecological breeding that he is engaged in.
The meat, vegetables, poultry, eggs, and fish produced are all needed by Chang'an City.
And dried fruits, Chang'an City is also in need.
If Zhang Chao is engaged in ecological breeding in a small place, it may be more troublesome, because an ancient small city does not have such a large digestion capacity.
But on the edge of Chang'an, even if Zhang Chao's ecological breeding scale is many times larger, there is no problem at all.
The steward of the winery was also called over by Zhang Chao today.
Although there are six shareholders in Bashang Distillery, the specific management of the distillery is mainly managed by the steward appointed by Zhang Chao, and although the rest of the wineries also send people to participate in the operation, they are still dominated by the Zhang family.
"The wine residue produced by the winery will be purchased by the Zhang family in the future, and now you can sign a purchase and sale contract, and the price will be negotiated and written on the contract."
The sake residue after liquor brewing, also called sake lees, this kind of liquor has no price for re-brewing, but it is the best to feed pigs, cattle and sheep and make feed.
Pigs eat sake lees, their skin will be ruddy, they will sleep a lot, they will grow fast, and they will be red and white.
After the cattle and sheep eat the straw feed mixed with distiller's grains, their fur will be smooth, oily and shiny, their appetite will be good, and they will not be picky eaters.
If a cow can be fed twice a day, as long as it has seven or eight catties a day, the cow can grow fat and strong.
If it is fed to pigs and sheep, it can not only fatten, but also greatly improve the slaughter time.

Backed by a large winery, Zhang Chao felt that raising more pigs, cattle and sheep would be a waste.
Well, if you buy these sake lees, you can't use them up yourself, and you can also process them and make them into feed and sell them to others.
Anyway, the most important thing in ecological farming is to make full use of it.
There is another thing that Zhang Chao also attaches great importance to.
The last time he experimented with fertilizers, he was right.
The biogas manure produced by the simple fermentation tank has excellent fertilizer efficiency, and the effect is more than that of the simple compost and manure of the villagers.
In their way, a lot of fertilizer is actually volatilized and wasted, and the use is not fulfilling.
The most important thing is that their traditional way of making manure takes two or three months at a time.
And Zhang Chao can make a pool of fertilizer in ten days.
The good biogas slurry is immediately transported to fertilization, the effect is the best, and if it is left for a day or two, the effect is reduced by about 20%, but it is still much higher than the ordinary manure.
As for biogas residue, dry fertilizer such as plant ash also has a strong fertilizer effect.
Zhang Chao had already talked to Li Zheng and them, and Zhang Chao's plan to build a fertilizer factory was supported by Bailu Township.
From Ningmin County to Bailu Township, the county order is openly supportive.
Zhang Chao got the manpower he needed most.
With people, the rest of the part is already very simple, because it has been experimented in Zhangjiagou, so Zhang Chao is not worried that no one will want the fertilizer produced by this fertilizer factory.
No one wants or is not afraid, he Zhang Chao has thousands of acres of land, not to mention the newly cultivated more than 1,000 acres of rice fields, all of which need fertilizer.
Moreover, many people in Bailu Township also know about a new fertilizer researched by Zhang Sanlang, and the fertilizer effect is very good.
With the support of the county and township and the official promotion, Zhang Chao is not afraid that he will not be able to sell this year's fertilizer production.
And as long as the effect comes out after these fertilizers are used this year, there will be no worries in the future.
This fertilizer farm is a partnership between him and Cheng Chumo, but these guys have been busy selling alcohol recently.
Zhang Chao gave each of them a distribution area, it was the first time for them to do such a big business, although they all had family members to take care of it, but several guys were very serious.
If you have to participate in it in person, Zhang Chao will go with them, anyway, the fertilizer factory has talked about everything.
Previously, he had talked to the Yongzhou Yamen and the two county yamen of Chang'an and Wannian about the problem of cleaning up toilet fertilizer in Chang'an City.
After Zhang Chao expressed his willingness to privately fund the construction of 60 free public toilets on Chang'an Sixth Street, and at the same time was responsible for cleaning the toilets and fertilizers in Chang'an for free, Yongzhou and Chang'an Wannian County were very supportive of this.
They saved a lot of things and expenses, and of course they were happy for Zhang Chao to take over this public health service.
What they need to pay is to hand over the original Yamen's several fertilizer factories outside the city to Zhang Chao, and then assign a few pieces of land to Zhang Chao, and then everything is settled.
In the future, this cleaning toilet and pouring night incense have become the exclusive contract of Chang'an Fertilizer Factory.
This Chang'an fertilizer factory is very socially ethical, and it has signed a 30-year contract in one go.
The yamen does not have to pay any money to the fertilizer factory, the fertilizer factory does not have to pay the yamen contract fee, and even the tax is exempted, and the fertilizer trucks of the fertilizer factory do not have to pay any crossing tax when they enter and leave Chang'an.
After Zhang Chao recruited people from Ningmin County, the Chang'an fertilizer factory could officially open.
"San Lang, the paper stock in the printing workshop is running out, and we can't buy paper anymore, at most ten days, we will have to stop production" Just when Zhang Chao was happy that everything was ready for the Chang'an Fertilizer Factory, and he only owed the wind, Xiao Zheng came to Zhang Chao with a frown.
There is not much paper, there is not much ink, and if there is no more material, the printing shop will be closed.
The printing workshop can't be closed, and now there are nearly 2,000 people in the workshop.
Even if they are all apprentices with very low wages, Zhang Chao still has to pay a day's wages if the production is stopped for one day.
It seems that this problem will not work until it is solved. t1706231537:
