Chapter 73 Palatability

The pretty Qinchuan cow also widened her eyes and stared at the grass in the basket.

The grass gave off a refreshing scent that was too tempting for her.

But it seemed that he had been stared at for too long, and Qin Chuanniu suddenly had a bad feeling and thought of those bloody scenes.

He stepped back quickly until he stopped leaning against the wall.

His eyes were wide open, alertly observing any unusual movements around him.

Guo Yang found this scene quite interesting. He didn't expect that a cow could behave in such a humane way.

Dingji also came over, looked at the cow and said, "This breeding cow is a little shy, but judging from its appearance, its fertility is still very good."

"Medium size, well-proportioned body, wide abdomen, full breasts, neatly arranged nipples, shiny fur, bright eyes, and in good spirits."

After listening to Ding Ji's introduction, Cai Bin and Zhang Wei even bent down to take a look at the cow's belly.

Guo Yang was quite speechless, but in order to learn knowledge, he also bent down and took a look.

Yeah, it's really plump.

Since the professionals all said that this cow was good, Guo Yang temporarily decided to make this yellow Qinchuan cow one of the test subjects.

Guo Yang grabbed a handful of green grass from the backpack and put it into the cow rack through the gap.

Ding Ji watched from the side, his face full of worry, "Boss, how about I do it? This cow is shy, he may not eat if you feed him like this."

Qin Chuanniu's eyes were shaking and looked extremely clear, but he remained alert and his limbs were hesitant to move forward.

Oh! Guo Yang suddenly became interested. He still didn't believe that he couldn't handle a cow.

After thinking for a while, he threw the fresh alfalfa in his hand into the middle of the cowshed.

If you want to eat Qinchuan beef, you have to walk a few steps forward.

Sure enough, this time Qinchuan Niu relaxed his vigilance, hesitated for a moment, then walked forward and started chewing with big mouthfuls, even raising his head slightly and making a joyful sound.

Guo Yang has never fed cows, but he used to herd sheep when he was a child.

It is obvious from the performance of Qinchuan cattle that Alfalfa No. 1 is really good in palatability!

The palatability of forage will affect the livestock's enthusiasm for eating. If the palatability is good, livestock will like to eat it more and eat more, which will naturally accelerate the growth of livestock.

The other cows looked at their companions grunting as they ate the fresh grass, and they cried out even louder.

Why can you eat such good fresh grass while we have to chew dry straw and feed!

The cattle were furious! Some of the bull racks even creaked under the heavy load.

In a short while, the alfalfa was eaten up.

At this time, Guo Yang grabbed another handful of fresh grass and held it in his hand, but did not throw it away again.

Qin Chuanniu did not hesitate this time. He walked forward happily, staring at Guo Yang with his clear eyes and nodding his eyes gently.

Dingji was quite surprised. Is this cow so coquettish?

He was responsible for importing these cows, and he had to feed them very carefully in the beginning.

Although cows are relatively docile in nature, they will become extremely vigilant if they suddenly arrive in an unfamiliar environment.

Especially some bulls, their eyes are sometimes bloodshot and full of hostility, and their disdainful look makes people afraid to approach them easily.

It took him several days of hard work before he became familiar with Brother Niu and Sister Niu!
Qinchuan Niu's behavior of gently nodding its eyes is not only extremely docile, but also shows his trust in his owner.

But the boss only fed it once!

Hey! Be reserved. I will be embarrassed if you do this.

Dingji's inner cries were of no use at all.

Just now, the Qinchuan cattle were still chewing handfuls of fresh grass in Guo Yang's hand, making low breathing sounds from time to time, and occasionally looking up to glance at the other crazy cattle.

That look, so smug.

Guo Yang fed all the grass in his hand into the cow's mouth, then touched the cow's head. Qinchuan Cow also obediently showed a comfortable look.

Even when Guo Yang left, she still looked at him reluctantly, like a little girl.

"Are cows so human-like?" Zhang Wei asked Ding Ji curiously.

"Boss, let me feed for a while too." Cai Bin also said, and it seemed that the boss was very relaxed and enjoying himself.

Ding Ji shook his head speechlessly. Cows do understand human nature, but this was the first time he had seen such a charming cow.

Guo Yang rejected Cai Bin's idea of ​​feeding the cows without hesitation. It would be better to leave such a fun task to him.

I picked up the backpack and retreated to the cement road. The breeding cows in the cowshed were still calling out one after another.

At this time, a strong Simmental bull put its front hooves on the gap of the cattle rack. The bull's thigh muscles were tight, but it looked very plump.

Half of the bull's head stretched out, the sound it made was powerful and strong, and its big eyes looked intently at the grass in the basket.

Compared with the Qinchuan cow, this cow is not shy at all.

Ding Ji walked forward and tried to drive the cow back, but the cow was very stubborn and could not be pulled away.

Ding Ji seemed to have lost his temper and started fighting with the cow.

Seeing this, Zhang Wei and Cai Bin also stepped forward to help, but the cow showed strong aggressiveness. Facing three people alone, it was not at all weak and even easily gained the upper hand.

Guo Yang looked at all this with emotion. Cows also have diverse personalities.

The pretty Qinchuan cow is shy and timid, but this bull is very wild!
Guo Yang said quickly: "Stop pulling, you guys can't pull it anymore! Just let it go!"

This cow is stubborn, has a bad temper and is wild, which is just what he wants.

Zhang Wei and the other two retreated. Ding Ji was even a little depressed, as if he was arguing with Niu!
Guo Yang grabbed a handful of fresh grass from the basket and shook off the water gently.

Then he stretched out his hands, leaned back, and carefully brought the grass close to the cow's mouth.

At this point, Guo Yang felt a little guilty. This big, bad-tempered bull must weigh at least two thousand pounds, and would be injured if he was touched even the slightest bit.

But at this time, the irritable bull calmed down and chewed the fresh grass carefully, unlike the graceful Qinchuan cattle that swallowed it in big mouthfuls.

The expression is more enjoyable.

The palatability of Alfalfa No. 1 is really reliable! It makes him hungry too.

Guo Yang slowly moved closer and fed fresh grass into the cow's mouth.

The bull would occasionally look up and gaze at him, but Niu Mouli was not irritable. Instead, his eyes were bright and clear, with even a hint of blue in them, giving people a feeling of clarity and depth.

Guo Yang also tried to touch the bull's head, and the bull still seemed very docile.

Ding Ji and Cai Bin looked at all this in disbelief. The bull was very wild just now!

Just bought with a handful of grass?

Boss, I want to feed the cows too!
Watching the bull chewing slowly, Zhang Wei couldn't help swallowing his saliva, "MD, watching this, I also want to chew a few bites of grass."

"Wei Ge, to be honest, I'm hungry too. How about having beef tonight?" Cai Bin looked at the herd of cattle that were mooing loudly around him.

"These are all breeding cattle introduced by the company!"

Cai Bin said, "Haha, my family used to raise cattle, and we didn't need so many bulls. There are six bulls among the twenty cows. The competition is too fierce. And it seems that the boss has already chosen this bull, and the other bulls may not have a chance to mate."

"Fuck, I was just wondering why it's not monogamous."

Several people showed contempt in their eyes.

Dingji further explained: "The estrus period of cows is very short. Generally speaking, if they mate naturally, 20 to 30 cows are enough to mate with one good bull."

Zhang Wei looked like he had never seen the world before, and said in surprise: "Is this the treatment for a breeding bull? It's so good!"

Ding Ji ignored him and said to Guo Yang: "The purpose of introducing six bulls is to prepare for the expansion of the cattle farm. Besides, these bulls have just begun to reach sexual maturity, so we can't rush to breed them. If we force them to breed, the results will not be good."

Guo Yang nodded to show that he understood, and then asked curiously: "Then these cows don't produce milk now?"

"Cows can only produce milk after being sterilized. The main task of bulls is breeding to ensure that every cow is in the lactation period."

At this time, Ding Ji looked at the bull and rubbed Guo Yang's hand, his pupils full of surprise.

Guo Yang also realized that the grass was gone, so he grabbed some more to feed the cats.

"I seem to have heard of artificial insemination before. Do you know how to do it?"

"I know this. Artificial insemination is the process of collecting bull semen, inspecting it, freezing it, thawing it, and then injecting it into the reproductive tract of an estrus cow."

Hearing Ding Ji say this, Guo Yang suddenly thought of the high-quality dairy cow genetic germplasm in his hand.

He sank into his mind and focused his awareness on the genetic germplasm of dairy cows.

A cylindrical white container suddenly appeared, looking like a liquid nitrogen tank.

Guo Yang chose to use it, and then the lid of the can opened automatically and the cork popped out automatically.

"Ding, please select a cow in estrus for insemination. The insemination steps can be performed as follows..."

Is it also artificial insemination?

It seems that there is a lot of essence in this jar!
Guo Yang suddenly realized that the amount of this high-quality dairy cow genetic germplasm could be used to breed quite a few cows!

Ding Ji was still talking to himself, unaware that Guo Yang was distracted.

"The success rate of natural mating is higher. Usually, only a few high-quality bulls are kept as breeding bulls, and the rest are treated as beef cattle. If a cow on a dairy farm gives birth to a bull, the bull is basically slaughtered. If twins are born, both male and female are killed."

Hearing about slaughtering a cow, Guo Yang came to his senses.

With this high-quality dairy cow genetic germplasm, it seems that we can really eat beef!

Beef + alfalfa dumplings?

Suddenly, Guo Yang's eyes changed when he looked at the bulls.

Especially the strong Simmental bull in front of me, its plump muscles are pieces of beef tendon meat, its round hooves are chewy and soft, and its strong back is tender tenderloin meat...

As he thought about it, Guo Yang really felt a little greedy.

But he was a little reluctant to let Guo Yang kill the cow.

After all, the company spent a lot of money to introduce it, and it seems that it has developed a fondness for it just now. We should at least feed it alfalfa No. 1 fresh grass a few more times!

If you only feed it once, the improvement in meat quality is unlikely to be very significant.

Lao Xiang is not here either. Although he is not allowed to eat the pig-killing meal, he is unkind, so I can't be unjust...

Guo Yang continued to prepare himself mentally before reluctantly leaving the cowshed.

It is not appropriate to use high-quality dairy cow genes at this time. Although cows can be bred all year round, it is best to do so in spring and autumn, when the cows are in estrus.

What should I do if the cows are not in heat?

Hurry up!

Take hormones, or use the most primitive method.

Just like a man chasing a woman, using an estrus bull to chase a stagnant cow will make the cow estrus.

When cows are in heat, they become excited and restless, like to get close to bulls, climb on each other, become engorged and swollen, and open their mouths slightly...

……

The office and accommodation buildings of Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry have also been built.

The area is not large and the floors are not high, but there are few people in Alfalfa Agriculture and Animal Husbandry, so it is definitely enough.

And looking at the appearance of the office building, Guo Yang felt that Lao Xiang was probably involved in the design, and there was always a sense of sultry feeling in it.

In the evening, Guo Yang prepared extra meals for the employees who lived here.

The alfalfa sprouts I brought back were chopped up and steamed by the lady in the cafeteria. They tasted delicious, nutritious, and fragrant, and there was no grass taste at all.

In addition, although no cow was slaughtered, Guo Yang had someone buy a sheep from the village and kill it.

Take a bite of mutton wrapped in chopped green onions, then drink a bowl of delicious mutton soup, feel the smoking pot and the hot bowl, and even the coldest day will feel hot!

The small cafeteria of Alfalfa Farm and Animal Husbandry seemed bustling with joyful sounds and happy laughter.

After the meal, I chatted with the employees for a while.

Guo Yang came to the office specially reserved for him and took stock of his current assets.
