Chapter 2110: Fishmeal dog food?

While farming and animal husbandry are advancing together, Marin also had to consider the problem of labor shortage. Therefore, in pastoral areas, we will try our best to focus on raising sheep. Because the sheep can be raised with the help of the shepherd dog, which can save manpower.

Both horse and cow raising require young and strong grooms or cowboys. Large animals are difficult to feed, so if there is insufficient labor, cattle can only be raised. Horses are the main force to pull carts on the arable land, this has to be raised, there is no way.

As for raising sheep, because you can rely on the help of the shepherd dog, you can raise more. A shepherd dog can look after hundreds of sheep, and can also help guard against thieves at night, which can be described as a good helper for human beings.

Moreover, dogs breed fast, with two births a year, and a few births per year. The reproduction efficiency of Bite Mo sheep is much higher. If this thing is willing to eat grass, Marin will definitely order dogs not to raise sheep.

It's a pity that the fertility rate of sheep is much lower than that of dogs. There are only one or two births per child, and very few have more than one child. Among livestock, pigs are more capable of fertility. But if the pig is strong, it is more difficult to manage. The strength is still great, and sometimes I can't keep up. If Sahuan gets up, there is nothing wrong with it. Therefore, I have only heard of herding sheep, but never heard of herding pigs. In fact, the second brother is not obedient to discipline. When he got up in the wild, he could turn people over. Therefore, they can only be kept in captivity.

Later generations of Marin had seen herbivorous pigs on the Agriculture Channel, but that pig, he had crossed with Tibetan pigs, and was small in size. In addition to the quality of pork, the small size is for good management. In the program, the farmers brought up the herbivorous pigs and showed them to reporters. Would you try to replace it with Taihu Pig? One or two hundred catties will definitely not be able to be lifted. It is just another person to lift it, and it depends on the second brother struggling not to struggle. Struggling, with less strength, I can't control it at all.

And raising pigs in captivity is also very labor intensive. Feed or cut pig grass every day. Need food to eat, just like the uncle. The construction of pig pens also pay attention to, it is best to have a single room for each pig, so as not to let everyone bite together and lose weight due to excessive exercise. Moreover, getting together, it is easy to repair a single room for each pig because of the swine fever caused by the group... This is second, usually these uncle pigs have to be served by someone, trouble!

However, raising pigs in the Americas is not that troublesome. Why? The conditions are good over there! Planting sweet potatoes, the lees after making sweet potatoes can make pigs have more food. As for the pigsty? The American colonies are full of virgin forests, and you can get countless timbers to build pigsties by cutting down some big trees. Unlike Europe, where there are no trees, expensive bricks and stones are needed to build pigsties. What? You said to build adobe houses to raise pigs with plate construction? Brother, don't you know that pigs can not only hog cabbage, but also hog pens. The mud wall, I'm afraid it will not be able to withstand the impact of the second brother.

Therefore, for raising sheep, just build a fence and pull a barbed wire fence. For raising pigs... it is better to use strong materials...

The masonry is a bit expensive, Marin’s manor can afford it, but the human resources for raising pigs are a bit insufficient. On the American side, it costs the cost of a hammer! Take the axe and saw directly into the virgin forest to cut logs, and then build a pigpen. Even if the wood is rotten, just cut the wood and build it! That's it!

Pulling away, the topic comes back. It is easier to set up fences to raise sheep on the edge of the farm’s cultivated land. Cows and horses demand high points. After all, they are big and powerful, and they are easy to break through the fence. Therefore, it is better to raise sheep to save trouble. Just insert some stakes and pull up the straw rope to stop the sheep.

Then, drive the shepherd dog to supervise and manage, and that's it. It is necessary for a sprinter like Boltsu God to be able to control it if you have to change the adult to chase the sheep. After all, hundreds of sheep are too loose. The four-legged shepherd dog runs fast and is easier to manage.

However, there is also a trouble. Although the shepherd dog is an omnivorous animal, it exercises so much. It is too much to just feed them a vegetarian diet. The reason why the poor in ancient times were so thin was that they didn't have meat to eat. The reason why the grassland herdsmen are fierce is that they eat a lot of meat and have strength.

Therefore, if you want sheepdogs to work, you have to feed them meat. But how can meat be so good? People don't have enough meat to eat!

"Right, dog food!"

Marin suddenly remembered that the dog food of later generations seemed to be a smorgasbord. Put everything in it! It contains cheap corn flour, dried vegetable powder, and powdered animal liver and offal. This thing is a bit like Thuringian sausage, the viscera and offal are crushed and poured in. However, it's not all meat, there are corn flour and dried vegetables.

Of course, there are also some dog foods that use cheap imported fish meal. Fish meal has high nutritional value, high protein, and vitamin B family, as well as fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins a, d, and e. In addition, it is also rich in various minerals.

In later generations, fish meal was often used to make concentrated feed for pigs and chickens. Sometimes it is also used to make dog food. Marin suspected that the swine fever in later generations might have been brought about by imported fishmeal. Otherwise, it won't spread all over the country so quickly.

However, there is definitely no African swine fever now. Moreover, fishery resources are extremely rich. In this era, beef, mutton and pork may be difficult to obtain, but fish... The four major fishing grounds have no fishing boats at all, only the North Sea fishing ground has some offshore fishing boats.

Therefore, as long as the North Sea country sends enough fishing boats, there will be inexhaustible fishmeal!

Moreover, the preparation of fish meal is also very simple-as long as the fish that is not delicious is caught, the fish is killed on the fishing boat to remove the viscera and fish oil, and then dried, sun-dried or dried, and then powdered. It doesn’t matter if you have bones, anyway, it’s nutritious, and it’s also rich in calcium.

Of course, fish meal is also divided into raw fish meal and cooked fish meal. People can't import raw fish meal, but animals can. Cooked fish meal...people can also eat...

It seems that during World War II, Germany was short of supplies. In order to supplement the people and soldiers with sufficient nutrition, they have produced high-quality edible fish meal, added edible fish meal to bread and biscuits, instead of eggs and meat, and supplemented the people and soldiers with protein and vitamin bde...

Marlin doesn't have enough meat or even offal to make dog food, but it is easy to get fish meal with leftovers. Then, mix raw fish meal with flour, dried vegetable powder and the like, and bake them into dog food biscuits. After heating and sealing with oil paper bags, it becomes dog food that can be stored for a long time and can be easily transported.

Leftover raw fish meal is not a cost to Marin at all. The fish that are not delicious are originally thrown away by the fishermen. Otherwise, occupy the space. Marin just let them air-dry or sun-dried, UU Reading www.uukanshu. Com is then beaten into raw fish meal. It takes a little time at most and it is not difficult. After all, fish meal doesn't take up much space.

Moreover, the large and medium-sized fishing boats invested by the North Sea country now have almost no competitors in the depths of the North Sea and in Newfoundland fishing grounds, and there is as much fish meal as you want. Even more delicious fish can be made into fish meal. Because now the fishery resources are too rich!

Just be aware that dogs cannot eat too much salt. Therefore, the fish used for making fish meal cannot be salted. But this is not a problem, as long as the viscera and fish oil of the fish are removed, it is relatively easy to hang on the mast to air-dry and sun-dry after it is not easy to become rancid. As long as it does not experience rainy days, it is easy to dry.

Therefore, fish meal is very easy to make dog food, and the cost is even much lower than that of flour. At least, the flour still needs farmers to plant the land for a year, and then harvest it for processing. Fish can be obtained directly by casting a net, and then simply killed, air-dried and dried, and then powdered, which is much easier than grain.

Then, you can easily get dog food biscuits that are high in protein, rich in minerals and some vitamins. The cost is very low. It is estimated that when it is sent, the highest cost may be the freight...

But a shepherd dog can graze hundreds of sheep, and the benefits of wool, sheepskin, goat milk and mutton brought by hundreds of sheep a year are much higher than the cost of dog food. So, Marlin still makes a lot of money.

Moreover, Marin can also sell this highly nutritious fishmeal dog food to other nobles for a small profit. After all, nobles, how can anyone raise a few lackeys? Well, the lackeys here are real dogs, not dog-legged dogs...

Nobles, good face! When the time comes, Marin will let the dog food processing factory put on luxurious packaging, and they will sell it at a high price without discussing it! If it sells cheaply, people might dislike it...
