"There is another aspect, which is our pasture planting and ecological breeding industry. This industry is very unique and worth talking about."
Du Xiuming said this, and then smiled at Zhong Xiaoling who was sitting on the side: "Mr. Zhong, you are familiar with this aspect, so you can introduce it to Mr. Wu and others."
Seeing Du Xiuming call her name, Zhong Xiaoling did not refuse, and then nodded and introduced to everyone.
"Compared with other crops, pasture is more suitable for surviving and growing in this desolate and arid sandy land, and it can also fertilize the land.
Therefore, we adopt a rotational farming system and rotate sowing seeds on the 100,000 acres of our farm to maintain and increase soil fertility.
At present, our farm has a total of more than 10,000 acres of pasture, and we mainly grow three types of pasture, namely Mexican corn grass, a new type of bamboo grass adapted to growing in the desert, and alfalfa, which cattle and sheep like to eat and fatten.
The entire forage industry, from sowing, fertilizing, harvesting, and packaging, is all run by intelligent unmanned equipment and managed by an intelligent unmanned farm system.
Because sowing occurs at different times, our forage can be harvested from May to late October each year.
After these forages are harvested and packaged, some of them will be used for fermentation and processing of concentrated feed, while the rest will be directly supplied to our pastures.
We have established five pastures around us, mainly raising cattle and sheep. For the sheep, we choose the big-tailed sheep from Western Xinjiang, and for the cattle, we choose the Angus breed, which is a very good beef breed.
These five pastures are cooperative projects that we build with the locals. The local government provides the land, we build the pastures, introduce breeding calves, and then recruit qualified people from nearby areas to enter the pastures to be responsible for the raising of these cattle and sheep.
In addition, there are two cooperation methods specifically tailored to local conditions. We provide cattle and sheep calves, which are then given to farmers to raise, and finally recycled at a suitable price.
This method is mainly aimed at farmers who are skeptical, worried about risks, and do not have start-up capital.
Another way is to establish a stable and long-term purchasing channel to purchase cattle and sheep from local farmers. This method also encourages local people to raise livestock and get rid of poverty and become rich.
After the beef and mutton are slaughtered in a centralized manner and passed inspection and quarantine, they then enter the cold fresh logistics channel and are transported to major cities in the mainland as quickly as possible."
Speaking of this, Zhong Xiaoling took a breath, and then said with a smile: "As you know, in recent years, there have been many problems with imported fresh food, especially meat.
Therefore, people are extremely cautious when purchasing, and there is a huge demand for our local fresh food, especially meat.
And our direct sales of food, which can be traced back to the place of origin, are very popular with the public, and the price has also risen, and the benefits it has brought to us are also very considerable."
Hearing Zhong Xiaoling's introduction, Xu Xiaoya smiled and nodded: "This project is good, and I am very optimistic about the development prospects of this project.
As we all know, with the continuous improvement of people's living standards, our domestic people's demand for meat is increasing year by year.
Our country's livestock and poultry meat production is simply not enough to meet public demand. Therefore, we have imported large amounts of meat from overseas for many years.
However, due to a series of reasons and problems, we have to be cautious about these imported foods. And for national strategic security considerations, we cannot rely too much on overseas imports. Our own rice bowls and our vegetable baskets must be in our own hands.
.
Therefore, in recent years, the state is actively encouraging our local breeding industry and has introduced a series of support and favorable policies.
Although our domestic breeding industry has also developed rapidly in recent years, compared with the huge demand gap, it is still far from enough.
Another thing is that the development of intelligent automated ranches in our country is still at the department level, which is far behind developed countries in the animal husbandry industry such as Europe and the United States.
These poultry meat breeding industries are relatively scattered, relatively small in scale, and the breeding technology is relatively backward, resulting in a relatively low conversion rate from grain to meat.
The so-called grain-to-meat conversion rate is actually the conversion relationship between grain feed and livestock meat. Simply put, how many kilograms of meat can be gained by feeding one kilogram of grain.
By adopting this latest modern pasture technology, we can greatly improve the conversion rate of grain to meat and increase the slaughter rate of poultry and livestock.
In this way, on the one hand, we can use the lowest cost and put the lowest grain feed in exchange for high livestock slaughter rate and meat production rate.
On the other hand, reduce waste and reduce emissions.
The most important thing is that we can supply high-quality, safe and stable meat sources to the market at a relatively low cost.
If possible, I suggest we continue to expand the size of the ranch.
In this way, the forage and corn produced on our farm can be directly digested on site, thus forming a very complete modern animal husbandry industry chain."
Obviously, one of the important purposes of Xu Xiaoya's visit this time was for this matter. So when this project was mentioned, she seemed particularly excited.
Wu Hao naturally understood this, so when he heard Xu Xiaoya's words, he shook his head deliberately and said with a worried look: "Expanding the scale of the pasture means that the scale of the farm also needs to continue to be improved. In this way,
The related investment will also need to be increased, and it is not a small number, so it is better to be cautious about this project."
Why, aren't you optimistic about this project? Xu Xiaoya was a little surprised. This was obviously a money-making project, but she didn't expect Wu Hao to be so calm and composed, showing a lackluster expression in his clothes.
Wu Hao shook his head slightly and said: "It's not that I'm not optimistic, it's that I think this project is worth the additional investment.
You know that our company has many projects, and these projects are all waiting for money. So if we invest part of the funds in this project now, I am afraid that many people in the company will not understand it.
What more..."
Wu Hao glanced at Xu Xiaoya, and then said with a smile: "This project has been going on for several years, so much money, manpower and material resources have been invested, and so much effort has been expended.
Now is the time to make a profit. If we keep investing like this, when will it come to an end?"
Wu Hao's words also caused many people present to nod in approval.
Xu Xiaoya looked Wu Hao around, then shook her head and said with a smile: "This is not like you Wu Hao. When did you become so timid?"
