Liu Yang: "It's like this. Although our village is called Persimmon Village, you know that it is a well-known large-scale pig breeding farm. But a few days ago, some of our pigs showed some abnormalities and some were sick. We suspect that the sick ones have swine fever. Generally, when swine fever occurs, it is rare to save the infected pigs. I want to know if you have a better way to help us solve this problem."

"Because we have had infections before, but after we dealt with them, some pigs were still infected again. I saw the county government issue a similar notice before, and I came here to ask you for advice. Can you help us by going to our village?"

Yun Tao said hesitantly, "Captain Liu, it's not that I won't help you. I'm actually a layman in breeding. I'm not very professional, and I only raised one or two pigs before. I've never raised a large area like yours. I don't know how to deal with it, and those who have raised pigs know the steps. No matter if it's rabbits or pigs, once they are infected with the plague, few can survive. The rabbits of my brother from my mother's family are the best answer. None of them survived."

Liu Yang: "I know, so I don't have much hope for the infected pigs. I just hope that the uninfected pigs are fine. What to do with the infected ones is our business. You just need to help us figure out how to best deal with the dead pigs and tell us the method."

Yun Tao saw that Liu Tingzhang kept inviting her out and she felt embarrassed to refuse.

Yun Tao: "Captain Liu, let me be frank. I can help you take a look and provide you with a method. But this is a method for rabbits, and I don't know your method for pigs. I can only say that this method can be used to deal with dead pigs, but I can't guarantee whether it will be effective. I need to explain this to you first."

Liu Yang: "Don't worry, I know this. After all, no one can guarantee that it will be effective. It's much better to do it than not to do it."

Yun Tao explained a few things to Daniu at home, and then followed Liu Tingzhang to Shizi Village. Shizi Village was not far from Yun Tao's village, but Shizi Village was very rich, while Yun Tao's village was somewhat poor. People in Shizi Village usually married girls from the local village, and rarely looked for girls from other villages, especially poor villages. Therefore, the two villages had little contact with each other, and even fewer relatives who could visit each other.

They finally arrived at Persimmon Village, and Yuntao looked around.

As expected of a well-known wealthy village in the surrounding area, not a single household still lives in a thatched house. More than half of the houses in the village are made of blue bricks and tiles. The villagers in the village have more flesh on their faces than other villagers, and their complexions are obviously much better. Few villagers wear coarse linen clothes, let alone patched clothes, which may be considered embarrassing in this village.

Yun Tao: "Captain Liu, your village is really better than other villages. I wish our village could be as prosperous as yours, so that everyone can have enough food and eat meat every day."

Liu Yang said with a smile: "Yun Tao, only if the villagers become wealthy can they eat well and dress well. To put it bluntly, we need money, otherwise everything will be in vain."

Yun Tao nodded and said, "Yes, you still need money on hand. Money is the confidence."

It took only a few minutes to reach the farm. The farms in the village were all on the same land and divided into different areas, so there was no doubt about which pig belonged to which family.

Liu Yang: "Look, Yuntao, these pigs are dying. We are also planning to deal with them, fearing that the infection will become more serious if time goes on."

Yuntao looked at the pigs in front of her, lying on the ground, listless and listless. There were red spots or red patches of varying sizes behind their ears, abdomen, inside of their limbs and other places where their hair and skin were sparse and thin. The feces they excreted and piled next to them were also fishy and smelly.

Yun Tao: "Captain Liu, the pigs here have been confirmed to have swine fever, and it's quite serious. You have to deal with it quickly, otherwise it will spread faster. This disease is the most deadly among animals."

"Whether they are dead or not, they are not going to survive. You should quickly bury them or burn them. I suggest burning them. Not only does burning them take up less space, but it also helps to prevent future troubles. The specific method of disposal is up to you."

Upon hearing this, Chief Liu immediately said to the people around him, "Go dig a big hole in an open area, get a lot of firewood, and get rid of these sick pigs right away."

"Also, some pigs that have not been infected may not really be uninfected. This disease has an incubation period, which means that the pigs will not show signs of illness for a while, but as time goes by, the pigs will show some symptoms of illness. You must have some pigs that have not been infected now, so you must keep them separately."

"The pigsty where the infected pigs are kept cannot be used, at least not now. At least we have to wait until the pigsty is treated. I will write you a prescription. If you are willing to buy the herbs, you can boil it for the pigs three times a day. But this is only for pigs that are not sick or are mildly infected."

"The one who is not sick is another prescription. I wrote it very clearly on it."

Liu Yang frowned as he looked at the medicinal herbs written on it. Magnolia officinalis, Magnolia officinalis fruit, Honeysuckle and other medicinal herbs all need to be bought at the drugstore. It seems that they are not cheap to buy them.

Yun Tao saw through his thoughts and said, "Captain Liu, medicinal materials are not cheap whether they are used to treat humans or animals. It depends on what the people in your village think, but I can only give you the prescription. I can't guarantee whether it will be effective or not, or how effective it will be. After all, each pig has different resistance, just like us humans, some are healthy and some are not."

Liu Yang: "Anyway, thank you. After all, this matter is none of your business. I will immediately arrange for people to go to the town to get medicinal herbs. If we can save one animal, we can still make some money from it."

"As you can see, every household in our village relies on raising pigs for a living. If we don't have any pigs to sell this year, life will be very difficult for the whole family. The people in our village are not as good at growing vegetables as the people in your village."

Yun Tao smiled and said, "There is no other way in our village. Animal husbandry is a technical job. If the villagers in our village knew the skills, who would keep digging in the fields for food? They have to rely on God for food."
