Chapter 126 Artificial breeding and natural reproduction
“Does pig breeding also rely on artificial insemination devices?”
"That's another important thing I want to tell you. Pigs can certainly be bred artificially, but in this case, they will be like cattle and sheep, and can only give birth to one piglet at a time, and it's a sow. But if they are bred naturally, that is, they are allowed to mate with boars, then they can give birth to 10 piglets at a time, and the genders and colors are random."
Huh? Lin Xia was stunned. So artificial breeding is a bit like the water of the Zimu River in the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West. Drinking it can only give birth to daughters.
And the color of Muchi just now was random, which means that black pigs and white pigs can be interbred.
"The breed of pigs is also related to intimacy. The upper limit of intimacy for newly purchased pigs is the same as that for cattle and sheep, which is 5 stars. The way to increase intimacy is also the same, which is to add one star to the mother's intimacy upper limit. So, you can consider how to match the piglets you purchase! I'm going to go back to the house to take care of some things first, you take your time to think about it!" After saying that, he left with his hands behind his back.
Lin Xia began to calculate carefully. The black pork variety is higher, but the breeding method is a bit complicated. However, everything will be simple later when the processing machine is available.
Well, that’s it, black pigs choose females and white pigs choose males.
Lin Xia's plan is that after little black a and little white b grow up, they will have a free love relationship and then give birth to 10 little mixed-blood abs. When they grow up, they can be used by themselves or sold.
After giving birth to 10 pups, the black a can be bred with an artificial breeding device to give birth to a 6-star black aa, which has no blood relationship with the white b. When aa grows up, it will fall in love with the white b, and the quality of the 10 aabs born will also be improved.
And so on, eventually, Xiao Hei can reach the maximum intimacy limit, and Xiao Bai B, as, well, the father of the hero, Lin Xia will serve him well with delicious food and drinks.
However, after Lin Xia found Mu Qi and talked about his ideas, Mu Qi gave Lin Xia a better suggestion: "You don't need to raise the breeding pigs yourself. It wastes feed and breeding space. You know, during the sow's pregnancy, the breeding pigs are in a state of eating free food."
Two lines of pig tears: ... There is no need to say that.
Mu Qi continued, "Your breeding method is completely feasible, but when breeding naturally, you just need to come to me to select the breeding pigs. There is no waste, and the selection is more diverse, avoiding the homogeneity of the species."
Lin Xia: "Well, okay. I'll just buy a little black pig first, right? Oh, and an artificial breeding device and feed. Currently, there is no feed processing machine."
"If you want a feed processor, I can help you find a pig farm to buy it for you, but I don't recommend you to buy it now. One processor costs 3 grams, and you probably don't have enough raw materials now. The raw materials for standard pig feed require one portion each of corn, wheat bran, and rice bran, which can produce 10 portions of pig feed; black pigs also need to add additional vegetables, pig grass, etc. It is definitely not cost-effective to buy it. Wait until you have a large-scale planting, and then make your own feed.
By the way, feeding vegetables and fruits directly cannot replace daily feed. They can only be used as snacks for pigs to increase their favorability. Remember this!" Mu Qi warned earnestly.
"I see. Let's buy feed first. Anyway, there aren't many pigs to raise in the early stage, so buying feed is more convenient and cost-effective."
Seeing that Lin Xia was a person who listened to advice, Mu Qi was more willing to give her advice: "The roots, stems and leaves left after the harvest of some of the crops you are planting can be preserved and stored. They can be used as snacks for pigs or processed into pig feed in the future. It would be a waste to throw them away now or use them as firewood.
By the way, you can plant more sweet potatoes in the fall. Sweet potato vines are good things. Pigs like to eat them very much. Even if you cut them off, they will continue to grow and you can harvest a lot. It will not affect the growth of sweet potatoes in the field. On the contrary, because you reduce the sweet potato vines competing with sweet potatoes for nutrients, the sweet potatoes can grow better. "
"Yeah, I'll remember that." Lin Xia nodded repeatedly and admired him sincerely, "I didn't expect that you are not only good at raising animals, but also have such a deep understanding of planting!"
Mu Qi stroked his goatee happily and said, "Just because these are related to the food of animals, I couldn't help but learn more about their growth habits. There are more and more books in the town library. Basically, you can find anything you want to know. If you can't find it, you can ask little Mary for help. You can go and read more when you have time. Learning is a happy thing! When my little granddaughter Mei goes to school and learns to read, I will also let her read more books."
Lin Xia agreed, but also felt a little guilty. She had been very busy in the past two months and had not read much. Well, she had to keep this in mind and read it when she had free time later. No, she had to plan it well and make time every week to read and increase her knowledge.
In just these few days, several people have asked me to read more books. No, I can't give them the impression that I am illiterate.
Next, we will start to settle the purchases made by Lin Xia:
Piglet (black) 5000G/piece*1=5000G
Artificial breeding device (pig) 3000G/piece*5=1.5G
Intermediate pig feed (suitable for black pigs) 35G/bag*300=1.05G
Total: 3.05 G.
"Piglet, I'll deliver it to the pigpen for you. You can just take the artificial breeding machine. Does the feed need to be delivered to the pigpen or do you take it yourself?"
"Please send me a pig pen! Thank you! When the pigs grow up, I will come back to you to find a breeding sow for breeding?"
"Yes, if you want to breed pigs naturally in the future, just come to me and choose the breeding pig you like, 50G at a time!" Mu Qi said with a smile.
Lin Xia happily accepted it. She didn't have to raise a boar for nothing, so the price was very reasonable.
At this time, Mei ran in from outside and greeted Lin Xia happily. Lin Xia handed the little girl a bottle of honey and water to drink.
After saying goodbye to the grandfather and grandson, I went straight to the back mountain to check in and picked the herbs along the way. Summer is almost over, and I have picked all the catnip I can. There will be no flowers in the next few seasons, especially in winter, so I will have to rely on these as gifts to give to the goddess!
I completed the check-in at the goddess' place and received her sweet smile; then I went up the hill to serve Kappa some scrambled eggs with cucumber. It was getting late, so I decided to go home for lunch. Lunch was provided by Dart and would be served on the small round table at home. I wonder what Dart will prepare today, I'm looking forward to it.
On the way back, they met a new resident, Brandon, who also came down from the mountain. After greeting him friendly, Lin Xia thought that since they were all residents of the small town, they should be treated equally. So she gave him some wheat flour again, and received the handsome guy's gentle thanks!
Lin Xia went home happily, feeling that she could have one more bowl of lunch, the handsome guy’s smile was really delicious!
