Unique animal husbandry: Let ducks sleep in air conditioning, pigs listen to music, cows drink beer
Many farmers in our country apply very unique farming methods such as: letting ducks sleep in air conditioning, pigs listen to music, cows drink beer... at first it sounds like a joke but these strange farming models have brought high efficiency.
Let ducks lie in air conditioning, listen to music, earn billions every year
Raising ducks byapplying many high technologiesMr. Thai Hoa Nam (41 years old, in Dong Hoi city, Quang Binh province) currently has the largest duck farm in Quang Binh province with a revenue of billions of VND/year.
According to Thanh Nien Newspaper, in 2018, Mr. Nam returned to his hometown and together with some people founded a livestock company. He coordinated with people in the company to create and design barns, install modern and suitable equipment to apply high technology to closed-loop duck farming.
However, the closed farming model does not give ducks as much space to live and move as in traditional farming. Therefore, Mr. Nam has researched and studied to create the best living environment for ducks.
"Our farm has invested in a system that provides food, water, and automatic air conditioning. The amount of food and water will be automatically adjusted, and the temperature will be adjusted according to the number and growth time of the ducks. In addition, there are methods for the ducks to relax by listening to music, and to increase the movement of the flock with a fan system," Mr. Nam shared in this newspaper.
It may sound unbelievable, but according to Mr. Nam, this way of raising ducks will affect the growth process of the ducks, and the products will also be better. Traditional raising methods can save initial investment costs, but ducks are susceptible to disease or spread disease to the environment or are damaged by environmental conditions, leading to low-quality products.
Raising eels without mud, letting them listen to music
That is the unique eel farming method of Mr. Ngo Sy Quan (residing in Quynh Doi commune, Quynh Luu district, Nghe An province). Dan Tri newspaper reported that in 2021, knowing that the mud-free eel farming model was highly economically efficient, Mr. Quan boldly invested.
The special secret to raising eels without mud that Mr. Quan applies to bring high efficiency is to let the eels listen to music every day. This is a method to make the animal get used to the sound, avoiding shock from surrounding noises, which can easily lead to sudden death. When feeding the eels and changing the water, Mr. Quan always plays music.
Thanks to this method, each year, Mr. Quan sells 6-7 tons of eels. After deducting expenses, he earns about 300 million VND in profit.
Let the pig lie in air conditioning, eat Chinese medicine, listen to music
Many farmers in our country have applied very unique secrets in raising pigs such as: letting pigs live in "apartments", sleeping in air-conditioners, nourishing them with traditional Chinese medicine, letting pigs listen to pop music, watch movies. At first it sounds like a joke, but these "crazy" farming models have brought high efficiency...
According to experts, feeding pigs Chinese medicine, herbs, and insects is a good way to help pigs prevent disease and make pork more delicious.
With the methodplay music for pigsMany people see that pigs gain weight faster than with old farming methods, pigs are less susceptible to disease, and do not need to use as much medicine.
Some farmers are concerned about the quality of the barn when building a pig barn like an apartment building, with a modern elevator system to transport pigs and feed. Some people are bold enough to install an air conditioning system to raise pigs. Good barn quality helps pigs grow quickly and are less likely to get sick.
Cows drinking beer, listening to symphony music
On the Lam Dong plateau, Kobe cows, a world-famous breed of cows, are cared for like kings and queens: drinking beer, listening to music, getting massages... According to Tien Phong Newspaper, the technical process of raising Kobe cows is very strict.
The food is raw food (grass, corn, broken rice, sweet potatoes, corn silage, soybean meal, peanut oil cake, etc.) to create firm meat fibers, not industrial food. Each type is carefully analyzed for calcium, phosphorus, vitamins, dryness, protein, fat, fiber, etc.
In the final stage before being sold, cows are also given beer to increase their energy when their food supply is limited. At mealtime, the farm plays soothing symphonies to help the cows relax, preventing boredom during meals./.
