Chapter 1091： Dairy King

Marin gritted his teeth a bit, and he hated the **** who translated the name of the sheep's milk in his previous life. Does East Frisian translate? Just want to translate into East Buddha. By the way, Malincha was in Chinese, and I almost forgot that this East Frisian should be East Frisian ...

In short, Marin was pitted by poor translation. Otherwise, Marin knows that there are high-yielding milk sheep breeds under his own control, and he has vigorously promoted and developed it!

Best of all, according to the bodyguard, the local sheep with high milk production have a very large base. Near the Norton area alone, there are thousands of ewes that are good at producing milk. As for other places, it is estimated that there are many. Even the coastal area of ​​West Friesland has introduced milk-producing sheep breeds from here as an important supplement to local food. For the people in the coastal areas of the North Sea, such as Norton, their main foods are sea fish and goat milk products from local sheep.

Interestingly, the residents of the East Frisian coast are divided into two groups-a group of people driving fishing boats to go fishing in the sea, is the main body of coastal residents. But there are also a group of people in the coastal area. They graze local sheep near the swamp, which is the milk-producing sheep that was translated into the East Buddha's raw sheep, and uses goat milk to make cheese and other foods. Then, there will be an exchange between the two groups-fishermen exchange salted fish with herdsmen in the sea for products such as goat ’s milk cheese and yogurt. Goat milk products are rich in nutrition, and fishermen are not enough to eat fish nutrition. Therefore, they often exchange salted fish with herders for goat milk products to supplement more comprehensive nutrition. The herders also like salted fish. Because salted fish has enough salt ... Herders cannot afford refined salt, but they can eat salty salty fish to supplement salt ...

Marin suddenly felt a little lucky, why? Because, he almost ordered the abolishment of this excellent local dairy sheep breed!

After Marin obtained a hybrid of Spanish merino sheep and British fine wool sheep that produced high-quality wool, Marin has always used this new type of fine wool sheep to completely replace the local sheep.

Fortunately, the total number of new North Sea fine-wool sheep is not large at the moment, and they are still being bred on pastures in Oldenburg. Otherwise, once the promotion is launched, Marin may order the elimination of local milk-producing sheep. At that time, an excellent dairy sheep breed will be lost in the world.

Although it is said that the highest annual milk production of East Friesian sheep is only five or six hundred pounds, which cannot be compared with 500 to 800 kilograms in later generations. However, this is mainly because people in this era have not paid attention to the cultivation of excellent varieties. If you select the best batch of male and female sheep to cross and carefully breed for several generations, you will definitely be able to breed stronger milk-producing varieties.

Moreover, according to Marin estimates, there are tens of thousands of East Friesian sheep in the entire coastal area of ​​East Friesland and West Friesland, including the Frisian Islands. Wanting to breed is not only simple, but also easy to scale.

Not only that, sheep breed much faster than cows. Sheep can have two births a year, while cows can only have one birth a year. Moreover, the breeding of ewes is earlier than cows, which is more conducive to the rapid reproduction and expansion of the herd.

Speaking of which, Marin admires the Frisians. Needless to say, the West Frisians of the Netherlands have bred famous black-and-white cows and are the world's first milk-producing overlord. And the East Frisians of Germany are not weak, and later generations also produced the most capable sheep-East Friesian sheep. Moreover, the West Frisians also produced the famous Frisian horse, which is Hurisima (this **** translation). It seems that the Frisians have consumed milk, and they have cultivated two types of hegemonic cattle, black and white cattle and East Friesian sheep. If it were not for the Swiss to **** the honor of the Sanon milk goat, the Frisians would have overwhelmed the dominant breed of cow and goat milk.

"Being in Baoshan without knowing it!" Marin suddenly regretted it. He has also been in East Friesland for several years, but he did not know that he had such a cow-breeding sheep breed.

However, this should not blame Malin. The main thing is that goat milk is not as famous as milk. He could know the milk sheep and also blessed his ex-girlfriend. However, his ex-girlfriend loves dogs so much that he must hug the dog even when he sleeps. As a result, Marin couldn't get started at night—who was so happy to sleep in the bed with his girlfriend? Not even the mother ’s ... Then, the love is gone ...

It was because of this unpleasant emotional experience that Marin later became an opponent of dog lovers, and even escalated into an opponent of animal protectors ...

But this short emotional experience that annoys Marin is not a good thing. At the very least, Marin remembered the East Friesian sheep, a sheep milk-producing breed. However, the translation of the pit father did not allow Marin to react immediately after crossing, and missed several years. Otherwise, better varieties have been bred now ...

...

At this moment, Marin had left the black-and-white cow behind his head, and now he only has East Friesian sheep in his eyes.

Why? A cow can only conceive one fetus a year, and a cow needs more than two years to give birth after being born. A sheep is pregnant twice a year, and the ewe can be pregnant one year after birth.

Calculated in this way, the sheep's original calving rate is twice that of cattle, and the time to sexual maturity is half that of cows, and the difference between the two population expansion rates is at least four times. Moreover, this does not count the difference in the number of litters per litter. Ewes often have more cubs per litter than cows. Therefore, the difference is even greater.

...

Moreover, Marin has calculated another account-even if each ewe produces only 500 pounds of milk per year, according to the ratio of fresh milk and cheese 10 to 1, 50 pounds of goat cheese can also be produced. Ten East Friesian sheep ewes produce 500 pounds of goat cheese annually, which is definitely enough for an adult for one year, and the nutrition is much higher than the grain. If you raise 50 East Ephesus raw sheep ewes, you can feed a family of five (actually the elderly and children can't eat so much, or so many sheep), and the nutrition is still very rich.

In addition, raising sheep is much easier than farming, as long as you send a border collie dog, you can easily raise hundreds of sheep. If you want to engage in colonial expansion, it is actually easier to bring milk sheep to colonize than to grow land. Of course, cheese cannot be sold in Europe. From an economic point of view, it is not as good as farming. However, in the early colonial activities, it was possible to provide sufficient food and nutrition. Also, this is very suitable for the bitter cold places like the Scottish Highlands. There is no land to grow there, and the climate is still cold. However, sheep can still be raised in hilly areas. After all, sheep hair is long and hardy. As long as the service is completed, 50 dairy sheep can feed a family of five. To raise more is to earn.

...

Therefore, after returning to East Friesland, Marin immediately signed an order for all domestic sheep with high milk production in the coastal areas of East Friesland and West Friesland to register all serial numbers. Then, follow the official guidance for breeding.

Moreover, in the future, all the local milk-producing sheep that have been registered and numbered will never be allowed to slaughter in private. Otherwise, go to prison ...

After a lot of tossing, a total of 6,000 East Friesian sheep ewes with an annual milk production of more than 300 pounds are registered in East Friesland and West Friesland coastal areas, and more than 50,000 sheep of the same type only.

Although the number of 6,000 milking ewes is somewhat smaller than that of black and white cows. However, live sheep breeding in East Foley can't stand fast. It is understood that this kind of sheep ewe can produce more than 2 cubs per litter, with two litters a year, and the breeding speed is absolutely fast enough.

Then, Marin made a selection of 1,000 special-grade milk sheep with an annual milk yield of 500 pounds. They were officially purchased at a high price and concentrated in several pastures for further breeding. As for the remaining 5,000 high-yielding milk sheep with an annual milk output of 300 to 500 pounds, they were handed over to the private sector for breeding. The breeding principle is to use the strong male offspring of high-yielding milk sheep to breed with the strong female offspring of other high-yielding milk sheep to breed better breeds. Then, continue to choose the number of excellent varieties to breed, until the cultivation of higher-yielding excellent varieties ...

...

After arranging the breeding of milk-producing breeds of raw sheep in East Foley, Marin still felt something was wrong. After lying in bed for a night, Marin wanted to understand that dairy sheep cannot adapt to the tropical and subtropical humid climates. After all, the sheep's hair is too long and the sweat glands on the sheepskin are not well developed, making it difficult to adapt to the hot and humid climate.

It is a goat that can adapt to the southern climate. In later generations, sheep are generally produced in the north, and goats are generally raised in the south. Moreover, the goat has a title called Xia Yang. It can be seen that goats are more adapted to the southern climate.

For example, Marin ’s colonies in the Americas have no problem raising milk sheep in temperate regions such as New York. However, sheep cannot be raised in Florida and other places in the south. Because it's too hot and humid there.

Therefore, if you want to promote milk goats, you really have to get a milk goat out. The most famous of the later generations of milk goats is probably the Sanon milk goat.

"Sanan milk goat? Sanon ... how does it feel so familiar ..."

Marin looked back carefully, and suddenly found that it seems that there is a Saanen Plain in Switzerland ...

This is not the most important thing. What is important is that it seems that Simantal cattle are still produced in the Sanon Plain ...

Simmental cattle have two origins, namely Simmental Plain and Sanon Plain. In this way, the Saaneng Plain actually has two excellent cattle breeds of later generations ...

Although it is the same as the East Friesian sheep, it is estimated that there is no high-yielding dairy goat breed on the Sanen Plain in Switzerland. However, there must be a tradition of cultivating dairy goats there ~ www.novelhall.com ~ So, Marin ordered-to send people to the Saanen Plain in Switzerland to find goats with high milk production. All goats with an annual milk production of more than 300 pounds are introduced at a high price. After the introduction, it will focus on optimal cultivation.

In the future, Marin will raise sheep in temperate areas in the North, and goats in hot and humid areas in the South. Goat ’s milk is made into cheese or milk powder and is supplied to children throughout the country. In the future, milk powder will become a national welfare.

Of course, the breeding of black and white cows will not be put down. After all, milk is also a very good nutritional product. However, because of the speed of reproduction, it may not be as fast as the expansion of dairy sheep and goats.

At the same time, Marin also ordered that in the southern border county of Scotland, he should devote great efforts to cultivating the black-faced border collie dogs, in order to cooperate with the sheep industry. After all, with the help of Bianmu, it is easy for a family to raise hundreds of sheep.

"Ah, I want to be the rhythm of the dairy industry ..." Marin rubbed his head.

The pictures of Mengniu's boss Niu Gensheng and Yili's manager Pan Gang suddenly appeared in Marin's mind ...

"Don't I be a diligent passer-by, just to pass over just to be the dairy king? It seems a little bit unrelenting ..."
