Chapter 291

Some sheep grow quickly, and some sheep grow slowly.

Zhou Hao is talking about the fourth and fifth generation Boer goats, and they must be strictly male goats.There is another prerequisite, that is, the skeleton must be good.

The lambs follow their mother and eat goat milk for three months. During that period, they will be fed some lamb feed, mainly feed with long bones.Entering the fattening farm in the fourth month...

But the number of fourth- and fifth-generation Boer goats is already very small.The experimental data here do not have much reference value.

And the cost of feeding them all with feed is too high.

Although 215 kilograms of feed is only 387 yuan, the feeding formula has changed during the period... In these three months, the real feed cost should be about 500 yuan.In the next month, the feed will cost about 100 yuan, which is not particularly expensive.

Zhang Cheng looked at Zhou Hao: "In three months, I gained 0.52 kilograms of meat every day. How is it possible?"

"The goats here are all fifth-generation Boer goats, castrated rams, the fastest growing ones." Zhou Hao said.

Chen Mo also glanced at him and said: "Don't say that those that are available are no longer available. Just tell me, from birth to slaughter, how much does a ram... cost?"

"It's not cost-effective to fatten all with homemade feed." Zhou Hao pointed outside and said, "Go to another fattening farm. It's a normal fattening farm over there."

Lu Zhouhao talked about normal fattening.

Normal fattening is to mix silage with homemade feed. To fatten a sheep, the feed cost is about 300 yuan.The market weight is 45kg-65kg.

Ewes are lighter and rams are heavier.

As for the fattening time, it is usually four months after weaning.But in fact, if you want to reduce the cost of fattening, the fattening time is usually about 5 months.That means it will be ready for sale in about eight months...

This is limited to the better breed crossbred Boer goats.

If it were a black goat, it wouldn't grow so fast.

"The feed cost is about 300 yuan, how to raise it?" Gu Boxen asked: "Do you need to let the sheep out to graze?"

Zhou Hao nodded: "You need to let the sheep go out to graze. As for how to feed them, in the morning, they mix silage with homemade feed. After breakfast, they go out to graze... In the evening, they mainly feed homemade feed, and then feed some silage. Homemade feed is considered to be concentrated feed. Give them less in the front and more in the back. The last month of slaughter is the most critical, so stop letting the sheep go out for food and switch to a whole-sheep house for fattening..."

"If the feed cost is 300 yuan, then..." Zhang Cheng took his mobile phone and did the math.

The scale of his breeding includes expenses such as medicines, labor, etc.In total, the cost of a fattening sheep will not exceed 500 yuan.

However, the feed is still too expensive, costing 1 yuan per ton.

All in all, feeding them all silage is the most cost-effective solution.And he has his own pasture...

One ton of silage is only 1 yuan.Silage combined with grazing has the lowest feed cost, but the sheep grow slowly and not very big.

For Boer goat ewes, if raised for one year, it is estimated that they can weigh [-] to [-] pounds.A ram, about one hundred pounds.This is on the premise of ensuring daily feed intake...

"If there is no pasture, how much will it cost?" Gu Boxen asked again.

"We sell silage here for 330 yuan per ton." Zhou Hao said: "The cost of raising silage with concentrate is not particularly high."

Gu Boxen said "Hmm", 330 yuan per ton of silage, this price is very cheap.

"What's silage made of?"

"Sweet Elephant Grass."

When you come to an ordinary fattening pen, there are also Boer goats inside, all of which are castrated rams. However, due to different generation lines, the growth performance of individuals varies greatly.In the same small pen, there are all fattening pigs entering at the same time. When it is time to put them out, some of them can differ by thirty kilograms.

"How do you sell the lambs here?" Cui Qingying asked.

"There are no lambs for sale at the moment." Zhou Hao looked at Chen Mo.Chen Mo said 'hmm': "There should be no lambs for sale this year."

Mushan Ranch is also expanding the number of ewes.

The meat sheep he raises are all castrated males. The land here is so big that he can't even raise them.

The cost of raising sheep here is cheaper for Chen Mo and the others. If they have lambs, they can raise them themselves.

"Can silage be cheaper?" Xiang Zhengzheng looked at Chen Mo: "There is also dried silage."

"It can't be cheaper." Chen Mo said: "Drying sweet elephant grass can be cheaper, 1200 yuan per ton."

Drying sweet elephant grass costs 1200 yuan per ton.

Drying silage costs 1100 yuan per ton.

Silage, 330 yuan per ton.

Dried alfalfa, 2300 yuan per ton.

This is probably the feed sold at Mushan Ranch.

Then they can help process the concentrated feed and produce corn flour, baking soda and other additives themselves.Anyway, the processing fee for processing 1 ton of feed is 100 yuan.

"By the way, we also produce a kind of pellet feed, which is mainly fed to grazing sheep as palatable feed." Zhou Hao said: "The main ingredients are sweet elephant grass, corn, ruminant enzyme, salt, shell powder, etc."

In addition to Xiang Zhengzheng, there are people here who know how to raise sheep and know the main purpose of the pellet feed they introduce.Mainly fed to ewes and lambs...

Most of the ewes eat grass outside, and these pellet feeds can supplement nutrition and will not make the ewes too thin.Then the lambs carried by the ewes can also eat these pellet feeds.

"How much does one ton cost?" Zhang Cheng asked.

"1750 yuan per ton." Zhou Hao said.

This price was discussed with Chen Mo.

Chen Mo said: "According to cost calculation, the cost of this feed is 1500 yuan per ton."

Zhang Cheng made an 'hmm'.

Chen Mo invested in a factory. A factory worth tens of millions cannot be free.If there is no profit, it is better not to do it.

Pellet feed is mainly used for sheep that have been grazing. They eat some work and are not prone to diarrhea.

After looking around briefly, Zhang Weimin took Chen Mo to another place and said, "Can it be cheaper to dry sweet elephant grass?"

Zhang Weimin should have asked for Gu Boxen and Cui Qingying. They had been whispering for a while.

"Drying sweet elephant grass costs 1200 yuan per ton, which is the lowest price." Chen Mo said: "My factory invested tens of millions in total. The big drum dryer cost 1 million. 3000 yuan With 1200 ton of sweet elephant grass, I basically made no money.”

The large drum dryer is mainly used to dry alfalfa.

If there are no particularly large orders in the future, Mushan Ranch will prepare to plant 1.2 acres of alfalfa and 1.1 acres of sweet elephant grass.

Although the yield of alfalfa is not as high as that of sweet elephant grass, its nutritional value is higher and it is the true king of pasture.

Of course, if you need more forage locally, you can plant some sweet elephant grass.After all, the yield of sweet elephant grass is really high.

Moreover, the sweet elephant grass variety in space has particularly high sugar and protein content.If we just talk about the consumption of fattening, the effect of sweet elephant grass is better.
