Chapter 181: Ideas for breeding horse breeds

Although Hunchun Farming was lively and lively, Marin saw so many pull horses, but he was not in a good mood. Because these horses are after all horses. They made them plough their fields, and they were afraid that they would fall sick and get sick. They also had the best fodder, which was costly. It is far less worrying than cultivating cattle. Although it is slower, it is better to feed and cost less. Moreover, even if a cow is exhausted, the local tyrant Marin will not be distressed. Buy another one. But if a horse is exhausted, or these excellent horses are used for breeding, Marin may be distressed to death.
Although Marin went out, he often took his horses with them. However, these horses are not suitable for war horses. A war horse is not something that can be a horse. In addition to being strong and stamina, it also needs to be brave and obedient. For example, when the whole army is charging, the war horse must not drop the chain. Where the rider asks to rush, there can be no hesitation. Otherwise, it cannot be regarded as a qualified warhorse.
随着 As firearms were introduced into the war, the requirements for warhorses were higher. Because the war horse must adapt to that kind of violent explosion sound, even the air wave produced by the explosion. Of course, it is also possible to put something on the ears of the war horse to avoid these sounds. However, with the explosion, the tremor of the earth is inevitable. Therefore, it is necessary for the war horse to be able to use such a situation, so as not to be frightened and leave the rider to run blind.
So not all horses can be war horses. A group of Mali, only a few are suitable for war horses. Most horses can only serve as stables and horses.
For example, the group of horses Marin brought from the French, when it comes to physical fitness and endurance speed, it is not much worse than the war horse, or even slightly similar. However, these horses are of ordinary psychological quality. Once faced with a fierce and brutal battlefield, they are likely to be discouraged and afraid to move forward bravely.
Of course, although these batches of horses are used by French knights as horses, the breeds are basically the same as those of the horses used by French knights. Moreover, some of the horses and war horses clearly belonged to the same mother. On pedigree, there is no difference from those war horses. The only difference may be psychological quality.
It is for this reason that Marin kept these horses for breeding. Because their pedigrees are similar to war horses. It was only because of poor mental quality that they were eliminated.
However, the offspring they produce may not be worse than those of pure warhorses. After all, even descendants of war horses may not be able to be war horses. And these almost become the descendants of the steeds of the steeds, not necessarily worse than those of the pure steeds ...
After all, the bloodlines of these eliminated military pull horses are similar to those of war horses. The quality of the foals they gave was no lower than that of foals from warhorses of the same bloodline.
同样 But again, it is true that holding these good-born descent horses as servants for farmland is a bit violent. Moreover, when using these horses to cultivate land, because of the fear of falling off, it is expensive to feed them with expensive feed and eggs every day. For arable land, it is better to use cattle. After all, under normal circumstances, cattle need only eat grass.
This made Marin suddenly think of 骡子 a very good livestock. Zongzi has great strength and good endurance, and is a very good animal. In addition, they eat very little. Just like cattle, they usually only need to eat forage, and they need to add meals for heavy work.
The common mule was born by the mating of a male donkey and a mare. Horses are more powerful than horses, but they eat less than horses. They usually only need rough-feeding.
There are also some mules, which were bred by stallions and female donkeys. They are also called donkey mules. The donkey cricket eats less than the stable, but it is not as powerful as the stable. After all, the donkey was born from a donkey's pregnancy. In general, the effect of the mother's body on the child's body is greater. After all, donkeys are small in size, and if they are pregnant with a bigger foal, they may die of childbirth. Therefore, the stables are generally larger because they are born of mares. Generally, donkeys are born from female donkeys, and they appear petite with the donkey.
普通 For ordinary farmers, using rafters is actually more cost-effective than horses. If you do n’t consider the use of riding and hurrying, just consider farmland and pulling carts, the function of the mule is no worse than that of horses, and even more feed-saving. Moreover, the mule is not easy to get sick, and the body is healthier. Just like the 1,030 horses that Marin got back, if Marin insisted that the horse keepers clean the stables and feed them with clean and hygienic feeds, chances are that some of these horses will be sick.
Zongzi is more resistant to rough feeding and can feed casually, so it can jump around alive and not easily get sick. It's just that it's not easy to have a child. Moreover, the sister-in-law is basically unable to produce offspring. If you want a mule, you must find a donkey and a horse to cross ...
He Marin had also thought about crossing out mules to use for serfs, but at that time, he would definitely not allow the mares and donkeys in his hands to hybridize mules. Because it's too wasteful. With this effort, it is better to think about letting the war horses mate, leaving the outstanding war horses.
What's more, the horses usually used to mate with mules are all bad horses. For example, Chinese horse breeds are not good and generally low. But it is no problem to use it to give birth.
Even if it is necessary to cultivate mules, Marin is unlikely to use these high-quality French horses to breed mules. Those who breed mules are generally bad horses that can't get on the table.
The pure war horse in Marin's hand and the armour horse which is only slightly worse than the war horse, it is absolutely a waste to cultivate the mule. In addition, Marin also vaguely believed in some "patriarchal inheritance" theories. She was afraid of a mare who had given birth to a mule. When she was required to give birth to a war horse, she gave birth to a mule ...
Regarding the theory of "paternal inheritance", although humans have not yet proven this characteristic, many animals have been proven to have "paternal inheritance" characteristics.
Therefore, if you want these mares to produce good malays, you must ensure that the stallions that mate with these mares are excellent. Otherwise, the mare may have a defective product for you to see. Especially the mare who had a mule, that is, using Arabian horses for breeding, but because she had a mule before, she might have a mule with a characteristic of mule. In that case, it would be awkward ...
Marin learned that, as far as the current horse breeds are concerned, those who are suitable for knights are all heavy horses. The heavy horse fighter is the British Sharma. This kind of horse is very huge, and it can be called Yao Ming in the middle of the horse. The shoulder height is generally above 1.7 meters, and many shoulders are as high as 2 meters ...
重型 This heavy horse has great strength. In later generations, some wineries in Britain also used Sharma to transport beer barrels weighing up to 5 tons.
The ordinary horse pulls only 1.5 tons of cargo. Even on gravel roads that are currently in good condition, they can only pull 2 ​​tons of cargo. The strong Sharma ~ EbookFREE.me ~ can usually pull three or four tons of cargo, up to 5 tons of cargo, very vigorous.
However, although this horsepower is great, its endurance and speed are average. It is not suitable for use as a war horse. It is generally used as a horse and is very suitable for transporting artillery.
Thinking of this, Marin decided to go to Britain to introduce a group of Sharma for breeding, and to provide excellent animal power for future artillery units. After all, one or two tons of heavy artillery needs a horse like Sharma to pull it.
Moreover, Marin also intends to introduce some excellent horse breeds and improve Sharma to cultivate a heavy warhorse that is very suitable for knights.
The specific method is to use Shale mares and excellent stallion breeds to breed heavy horses that are tall and strong, with outstanding endurance and speed.
Because the mare's body shape, to a large extent, determines the future size of the horse. Therefore, using Sharma as a mare can guarantee that the resulting foal will not be short in the future. Combining the excellent qualities of stallions, such as endurance and speed, it is easier to cultivate excellent heavy warhorse breeds ...
For example, Marin intends to use the Arabian stallion and Shire mare to develop a new type of heavy horse with good endurance and speed.
Although the Arabian horse is only a medium-sized horse, it does not match well with the tall and strong Sharma, but it does matter. Is the horse free to find someone? They are all arranged by the owner of the horse ...
What if the Arab stallion can't climb the body of the Sharma mare? It ’s easy to do, just take a step ...
