Rebirth on the top of the mountain, my herding career

The snow was so fierce that Qin Xifeng was shocked.

During the night, he got up and went to the corral to check several times. Fortunately, everything was normal and no accidents occurred.

The next morning, the heavy snow actually stopped.

It was clear after the snow, the sky was blue, and the air was filled with a cool, fresh breath, which made Qin Xifeng feel comfortable all over.

He first cleaned the livestock shed, and then fed the livestock fodder and clean water. Naturally, he added nutritional powder to the clean water to enhance nutrition for the livestock in winter, so as to keep out the cold and maintain body fat.

"Xifeng, go back and have breakfast, I will do the rest."

He had almost finished cleaning up here, and Atik arrived belatedly.

Atik also got up several times in the night. After all, he was getting older, and he couldn't get up in the morning after struggling at night.

"Okay, Dad."

Qin Xifeng felt that nothing happened, so he clapped his hands and went back to eat the noodles made by his grandma.

After breakfast, he thought that since he had nothing to do, he might as well go and play with Gulidan. After the snow started to clear up, it was the best time for two people to go out for a walk in the snow. There were not only cows and sheep in life, but also some small love affairs occasionally.

Something in a minor key to add a little sparkle.

But it was a pity that he and Gulidan had just met and kissed each other lightly, and Zhang Meng chased after them.

"Brother Xifeng, go and have a look. Uncle Zahemuke's barn collapsed and two sheep were injured. Can you help treat them?"

Qin Xifeng couldn't help but sigh, accidents are everywhere.

Yesterday Atik went to the village to remind everyone, and everyone strengthened the corrals and barns according to experience, but this thing still happened.

In fact, something like this happens every winter, and whoever encounters it is unlucky.

"Xifeng, let's go take a look."

Gulidan's pretty face was as red as a candy apple.

Zhang Meng lowered his head and looked at his toes. He probably realized that he came at the wrong time and was afraid of being scolded by Qin Xifeng.

"Let's go to the village!"

Without saying a word, Qin Xifeng, Gu Lidan, and Zhang Meng each mounted their horses and went back to their yurts first, then headed straight to the river valley.

Most people's corrals in the village are over there.

"Xifeng, thank you for your hard work. Please help me take a look."

Zhahemuke is an honest man, and his sense of presence is usually very weak. If he hadn't encountered this kind of situation, he would be too embarrassed to trouble Qin Xifeng.

"Uncle Zahemuke, you're welcome."

Qin Xifeng ignored the conversation and walked to the barn to see that a corner of the barn had collapsed, hitting two sheep.

Two sheep had been carried out and were bleating incessantly.

Qin Xifeng immediately stepped forward to check it. One of the sheep had no serious problem, it just suffered some skin trauma. It would be fine after treatment.

The other sheep was in more trouble and had a broken leg.

Qin Xifeng then asked Mengzi and others to help hold down the sheep. Then he used bone-setting techniques to set the sheep's bones and fixed them with two wooden boards.

"Uncle Zahemuke, I'll give it another anti-inflammatory shot, and the bones will wait for it to grow back. During this period, you have to take good care of it. If you have any questions, come back to me."

Murakami does not have a specialized veterinarian. Some people have a few skills, but none are as professional as Qin Xifeng. After all, he has systematically mastered veterinary knowledge.

But even so, he couldn't operate on the injured sheep because the conditions didn't allow it, so he might as well just treat it like this.

Zhahemuke kept saying thank you, Qin Xifeng waved his hand, and left the river valley with Gulidan.

In the following two days, the temperature rose slightly, but this was just an illusion. Winter in Palpaha had quietly arrived without even realizing it.

Qin Xifeng reopened the vegetable greenhouse. Everything is ready-made, even the seeds are ready-made.

At the same time, he installed a stove in the operation room to ensure a certain temperature and avoid working in cold conditions.

As soon as the snow falls, he is ready to start experiments on artificial insemination of sheep.

The natural reproduction of sheep is restricted by many conditions, and it is basically difficult to achieve two births a year or three births every two years.

This requires the use of artificial intervention technology in livestock reproduction. Using drugs to induce estrus in ewes is one method, while artificial insemination is a more advanced method.

However, the method of artificial insemination has high requirements for equipment, materials, instruments, technology, etc. Not to mention the village, the current veterinary station in the township cannot do it.

The equipment, instruments, and materials Qin Xifeng has in his hands were packaged and sent by the Provincial Academy of Sciences. They represent a relatively high level of technology in the country today and are really rare.

"Gulidan, I am going to start experiments on artificial insemination of sheep now. If you have time, how about being my assistant?"

Qin Xifeng made a plan and set aside half a day every day to conduct this experiment, and the other half he could take care of the livestock or patrol the border, which was not too busy.

However, he needed a helper during the artificial insemination experiment.

Mengzi is definitely not suitable, and neither is Radil. The biggest problem for them is that their education level is too low and they cannot do very delicate work.

After much deliberation, only Gulidan is the most suitable.

"Me? Is that okay?"

Gu Lidan is not embarrassed. Her relationship with Qin Xifeng has basically been established and it is not so pretentious.

She is just worried that she can't do well.

"You can do it. I'll teach you later. You just need to study hard."

Seeing that the other party did not object, Qin Xifeng began to teach her the relevant techniques step by step. After Gulidan had roughly understood all the technical details, the two officially started the experiment.

He was responsible for collecting semen from the rams, and Gulidan was responsible for inseminating the ewes. The two cooperated tacitly, and the 10 samples were quickly completed.

The entire test was completed in the operation room. The operation room not only contains various equipment and instruments, but also is a sterile environment, which can ensure that the livestock will not be infected.

The next thing is to pay attention to observation.

If any of the ewes are determined not to be pregnant, the artificial insemination process can be repeated.

"Xifeng, if the test results are good, my sheep flock can also adopt this breeding method. I guess the reproductive rate of the sheep flock will reach a higher level."

Gu Lidan learned a lot from Qin Xifeng in the past few days, and then realized that dealing with livestock is not that simple.

She has a lot more expectations for the future.

"Let's take a look first. I guess the effect will not be bad. But you have to remember that any technology has limitations and you can't rely too much on it."

Qin Xifeng's meaning is very clear. If livestock can reproduce naturally, they should reproduce naturally. If natural reproduction encounters difficulties, artificial intervention should be carried out.

The order cannot be reversed.

"Yeah, I remember!"

Gulidan nodded repeatedly, then took Qin Xifeng and prepared to feed the little border collie and the falcon.
