Introduction: a farmer in Lingcheng Town, Lingxian County, Shandong Province, regularly sells "stupid eggs" in the county This kind of eggs raised in a loose way are much more than those raised on a large scale in the GUI triangle per kilogram, and are very popular Now, there is an interesting phenomenon in the market of Lingxian County: the same is the eggs, and the "stupid eggs" sold by the farmers' basket are better sold; the "stupid chicken" raised at home costs more than two yuan per kilogram of fattening chicken With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, chicken, duck and fish meat is no longer a luxury for festivals and weddings It is common to eat chicken, duck and fish meat every three to five days However, in recent years, people who are full of food complain that "today's chicken, duck and fish can no longer make the taste of the past!" Perhaps it's the long-term eating of fish that doesn't smell its fragrance, or the constant meat smell makes people's taste buds dull, and people's taste becomes more and more critical However, according to the analysis of experts, the "taste of meat and eggs is not as it used to be", which is largely related to the changes in feeding methods For example, carp, in the natural environment, can grow 1 kg in 4-5 years Because of its miscellaneous nature of food and rich nutrition, it produces delicious meat Artificial culture is different, with 15 kg of pellet feed can "urge" 1 kg of carp, and the growth cycle is also shortened to one year or even half a year Of course, the taste of carp is not as good as before The same is true for chickens In the past, it took about a year or even longer for a chicken to be raised and killed Now, broilers can be released in more than 50 days, and laying hens can only be treated in 250 days after the peak period of laying In the past, most chickens were raised separately, eating grains, grass leaves or insects Now they are all "formula feed", some even add hormones In this way, the chickens are fast on the market and the egg production rate is high, but the nutritional composition of the eggs is reduced and the taste is greatly reduced In this way, it is not surprising that the prices of "stupid chicken", "stupid pig" and "stupid sheep" in the market are high In the era of economic shortage, "formula feeding" can quickly meet the market demand and make up for the defect of "traditional feeding" However, with the improvement of people's living standards, people are no longer only satisfied with food, but also start to pursue taste, nutrition and health Of course, with a large population and a large demand for meat and eggs, it is difficult to meet the market demand if "traditional breeding" is adopted However, when adjusting the structure of animal husbandry today, farmers pay attention to the details of breeding, which will often receive unexpected results.
