After studying many works such as "Pig Farm Operating Practices", "Guidelines for Effective Prevention and Control of Swine Fever", "Postpartum Care of Sows", Lin Nianhe felt that he could give reasonable guidelines for preventing swine fever.
The only difficulty is that the swine fever vaccine is still in the research stage, and its universalization is a dream.
In this case, it can only be prevented from the external environment.
Lin Nianhe's advice to Li Dahe was: "Uncle Captain, it is the time of season change. People are prone to getting sick, and the same goes for pigs. I suggest cleaning the pig pens from inside to outside, including the troughs and so on. They should also be scalded with boiling water. If conditions permit, it is of course best to use disinfectant water."
"Also, it's best to improve the pigs' food in the recent period. If they eat well, they will not get sick easily."
"Separate a single room in the pig pen. If you find a pig showing signs of illness, quickly isolate it from other pigs."
After hearing this, Li Dahe smacked the pigs for a while and then said, "It's easy to clean the pig pens and separate the pig rooms, but feeding them well...that's really not the case."
It's hard for people to get enough to eat, so why improve the food for pigs?
Even if they have the heart, they don’t have the ability.
Li Dahe wiped his face, feeling a little sad: "The autumn harvest is just around the corner. Every household doesn't have much food left. We have to eat the rest during the autumn harvest, otherwise we won't be able to bear it."
Lin Nianhe also thought of this. She was not too surprised. She nodded to express her understanding and said, "Then let's start with the environment. Even humans can easily get sick if they live in dirty places. During the autumn harvest, I’ll clean the pigsty beforehand, and it will be easier to do daily hygiene.”
"Okay," Li Dahe stood up, "Uncle Guan just said last night that the chicken shed was ready, and he asked Zhao Zhuangshi to take a few boys to work on the pig pen... I'll go to the commune to see if I can get some. Children’s disinfectant, disinfectant water.”
Lin Nianhe followed him out, reminding him as he walked: "Lime powder will also work. If you don't have any, white vinegar will work too."
"Okay, I got it." Li Dahe nodded, and after walking a few steps he couldn't help but ask her, "Girl, that odd job thing you mentioned yesterday...can it really work?"
Lin Nianhe looked at him with innocent eyes: "Can't we wait until I go to the town or the provincial capital to see for sure? Why don't you, uncle captain, give me a letter of introduction and I will go and do this for you?"
Li Dahe: "Don't force me to kick you."
"Hey, Uncle Captain, it's really not good for you to do this. How can you just tell people to work but not give them any benefits? Otherwise, I won't mention going to the provincial capital to play. Don't be stingy either - this year How about you grant me an extra month of family leave during the Chinese New Year?"
Li Dahe: "Why don't you go to heaven?"
Lin Nianhe: "To buy a plane ticket... you also need a letter of introduction."
Li Dahe looked at the little brat in front of him and estimated that if he gave her a kick, it would be easy to kick her directly into the health center.
He took deep breaths repeatedly, trying to suppress the surging anger.
However, Lin Nianhe unconsciously approached him and said, "Uncle Captain, please think about it? Anyway, it's winter, and you're annoyed by me wandering around under your nose every day, right? You see, it's just a decision, which can not only supplement the villagers' It would be great if I can help you with some household expenses and give you some peace of mind!"
Li Dahe rolled his eyes in anger: "Little ancestor, the family leave for educated youths is all counted, and every stroke has to be written on your file! You are really not afraid that you will not be able to return to the city in the future."
Lin Nianhe was quite calm: "If you don't give me a place to go back to the city, I won't give it to you. It's so nice here. I'm willing to stay here."
These words made Li Dahe lose his temper instantly.
He straightened his back unconsciously and couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.
Lin Nianhe continued to make suggestions: "Uncle Captain, I'm really not being hypocritical. I have something to do when I go back this year. Why don't you give me an advance on next year's family leave? That's okay, right?"
Li Dahe looked at her puzzled: "What's the matter with you?"
Lin Nianhe frowned slightly and his expression became serious: "I can't say, but something really happened."
It was rare for Li Dahe to see her so serious. After pondering for a moment, he just said: "If you don't tell me, I won't ask you. What about family leave? We'll talk about it then."
"Okay, I'll listen to you." Lin Nianhe knew that this was no small matter, so how could he agree to it just by casually mentioning it to Li Dahe?
She stopped chattering, waved goodbye to Li Dahe, and quickly returned to the village.
Li Dahe glanced at her back, a little puzzled, but then he smiled.
He hurried home, picked up his bicycle and rushed to the commune.
The recent swine fever outbreak in the Victory Brigade has caused panic in the entire commune. Everyone is afraid that this will happen to them, and that most of the hard work of the past six months will be wasted.
In contrast, the person involved, Cao Manfu, seemed to have seen through Hongchen's bad attitude.
The first disaster made him anxious, scared, and irritable, but the second and third time...God's endless grinding of the victory team had already made everyone here tired, tired, and looked away. .
Compared with the landslide that buried half a field and the wildfire that burned half a village two years ago, swine fever seems less unacceptable.
Seeing the veterinarian sent by the commune busy, Cao Manfu returned home with his hands behind his back, drank half a tank of cold water, burped and suddenly said: "I see there is a lot of work in the pig pen, and Xie Zhiqing is not good at farm work. Let him work in the pigsty."
Aunt Cao didn't say anything. Cao Dayue on the side screamed first: "Dad! How can Xie Yufei do the work of a pig pen when he is so clean?"
As soon as Xie Yufei was mentioned, Cao Dayue's face began to turn red.
Cao Manfu glared at her: "What's the fuss about? What else can I do to you?"
Aunt Cao also gave Cao Dayue a hand and whispered: "Why are there so many things to do? How about burying the pigsty for a while? Isn't that easier than working in the fields?"
Cao Dayue was anxious and about to shed tears: "Then how can it be the same? The pig pen is full of dung. Xie Yufei is from the capital, how can he go there?"
In Cao Dayue's eyes, Xie Yufei was the cleanest boy in the village even if he was wearing a dirty hurdle vest.
Cao Manfu curled his lips and sneered.
In his opinion, this kid is too ignorant of praise, and he will be dishonest if he doesn't give him a lesson.
He drank the remaining half of the jar of water and said, "If you want to recruit him as your man, he has to do this job."
Cao Dayue held back her tears.
She thought about it for a long time, her eyes lit up and her mouth opened into a smile: "Dad, you still have an idea!"
Cao Manfu snorted lightly and was happy.
Are you a little kid from the city? When you get here, you are not allowed to rub him as he pleases?
When Xie Yufei heard the news that he was asked to clean the pig pen, he was confused.
"Pig pen? Raise pigs? If I can't raise them well, can I kill them for meat?"
Mr. Xie licked his lips with fiery eyes.
