Chapter 918: . Little Animal Country (4/5)

Kou Qian has been here for a while, and is responsible for the breeding and medical issues of mini livestock, so she is relatively familiar.
She said: "Actually, Boss, if you can, I suggest you raise more mini domestic animals. Take this mini donkey, they eat less than ordinary donkeys, but the corresponding input-output ratio is higher."
"That is to say, also feeding a hundred kilograms of forage, the mini donkey grows faster and grows more meat than a normal donkey," added Kered.
Wang Bo looked at him in surprise: "My God, are you raising these little animals for food?"
Creed also looked at him in surprise: "Aren't you?"
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "No, I use it for tourism. I want them to live and show them to tourists."
Kered laughed suddenly: "Very good, then I decided we can make this deal, you pick it, you can choose it."
Wang Bo was a little confused by him: "What do you mean?"
Kerred laughed: "It's very simple. I don't want to sell their breeds to those meat farms. I study these breeds, not for slaughtering and selling meat!"
As he said, he froze Wang Bo's shoulders intimately: "Kou Qian called me to talk about this, but I don't trust you much, it is better to hear it in person."
Wang Bo: "..."
The urban routine is deep, the wilderness is even deeper, that is, selling a cow, a sheep, and a pig. This guy can even use the skills of rhetoric, which is definitely not normal.
However, for many meat farms, it is also a good choice to breed this small animal. At present, the market is depressed and the price of feed has risen sharply. The ranchers need to spend their lives carefully.
Wang Bo asked: "If you don't supply these livestock to the ranch, isn't it valuable for you to study them? Isn't the cultivation of cattle, sheep, pigs, etc. mainly for meat?"
Creed said seriously: "Of course not, they can be our companions. Since you can have a big dog as a pet, why not have a horse or a goat?"
Bowen laughed, this is really a good question: "I think there are a lot of horses and pets, but the cost is too high to restrict the promotion of such pets. As for goats? Why do goats be pets? Eat hot pot? "
This was a little irritating to Kered, who glared at Bowen and said, "Animals are good friends of humans. We can't just think about eating them!"
Wang Bo watched the rancher excited, and hurriedly signaled Bowen to shut up, but don't stimulate him. He felt that the rancher had a mental problem.
Miniature livestock has been promoted in New Zealand for a long time. People have realized that livestock is not bigger and better. For example, in China, when the pigs are raised, they are not raised to the maximum, but they are raised to a critical point, and later they eat more But there is less meat.
In the 1950s and 1960s, New Zealand farmers did not give much thought to the input-output ratio of cattle raising.
At that time, feed prices were low and there were many grasslands. Farmers could freely raise their cattle and sheep to grow as much as possible and get as much meat as possible from each cow.
The situation is different now, the rancher must first consider the input-output ratio.
When Wang Bo was preparing to raise these animals, he paid attention to this issue.
For example, the mini zebu that he breeds now has more economic value than normal zebu.
Mini zebu can only grow as high as the legs of normal cows, but the weight is not small, between 227 kg and 318 kg, which is almost one-third of normal cows.
However, they consume only a quarter or less of the average cattle, which means higher meat production.
With this advantage, the promotion of mini animal breeding has not been carried out well.
These mini cattle and sheep are too small in size, and they need to pay a lot of extra labor if they want to raise them on the ranch.
For example, ordinary farm fences can't stop them at all, so owners need to encrypt the fences. Also, it's not easy to buy collars that fit them.
What's more, the smaller the animals, the worse the immune resistance, these calves and lambs are more likely to get sick, and New Zealand strictly controls the use of animal medicines, and the sickness of livestock is not easy to solve.
After the introduction of the mini donkey, many other animal species are housed in other fences.
There are several types of mini-bottles here, such as mini-race cows, small Dexter cows, mini-longhorn cows, and so on.
These animals are also found in many countries in the world. They are different from Niuniu. They are not dwarfs or variants, but existing breeds, but they have not been promoted because of their ability to produce meat.
Kered's ranch also has a beautiful calf based on black and white fur. This kind of cattle was the first time Wang Bo saw it. He hadn't seen it before when searching online.
Others were equally astonished when they watched, Creed proudly said: "This is a new type of mini cow I have cultivated, and I named it Panda Cow."
"Do you know pandas? China's national treasure, a very popular animal. I hope that this cow, like the panda, can become a popular pet in the family."
Wang Bo shook his head and said, "Man, I admit that you are a genius, but it is very difficult for the family to raise cows and sheep as pets, which is difficult to become mainstream."
Creed argued, "Why? Why do people like cats and dogs? Isn't it because they are small in size? The animals I researched are also small in size and seldom eaten. They are also suitable for pets."
Wang Bo did not argue with him, he would not be used as a pet anyway.
In addition to cattle and donkeys, there are mini sheep on the pasture, called Nigerian dwarf goats.
Even if they are adults, they are only at the knee height of humans. They originate from the descendants of small sheep in West Africa. They were originally imported into the United States by ships and became a great meal for large cats in zoos.
Later, some goats were raised, and smaller breeds were screened for use as pets.
Wang Bo is most interested in mini horses. There are newborn ponies in the stables of the ranch. They live in a place like a child isolation room, and someone inside is responsible for feeding them.
These horse cubs are very small, similar to puppies. Wang Bo feels that he has arrived in the dwarf kingdom. Why are everything smaller?
"This is, Farabella Pony?" Peterson asked in surprise.
Wang Bo gave him a questioning look, and Peterson introduced: "Farabella is the smallest pony in the world, and it will grow to 70 cm or even shorter as an adult."
"This horse is light and elegant, with smooth silky skin, bright hair and gentle temperament, and can get along with children. It is called the most perfect horse pet."
"There is no need for a horse farm to raise such horses, but they are expensive, and those who can raise them can afford them. When President John F. Kennedy visited Argentina in 1963, the most precious gift he received was a pure horse. Bloody Falabella pony. "
