    What do sheep eat? Many people may think of grass, and others think of feed Tell you, now the sheep are also golden, learn to recuperate the body, eat Chinese medicine The reporter learned that now many Huyang farmers are trying to use the traditional Chinese medicine residue feeding mode, and many farmers in Xiaoshan, Deqing, Huzhou and Wenzhou are operating in this way Sheep take medicine dregs, people eat this kind of sheep, will there be a problem? The reporter selected a farm in Jinyun, Lishui, as a sample for in-depth understanding There, the sheep are fed with a mixture of tofu dregs and traditional Chinese medicine dregs, instead of the usual way of feeding grass and refined feed A variety of agricultural waste synthetic sheep feed, a sheep farm called Zhejiang Jinyun Xinglong Hu sheep breeding professional cooperative, is located in the suburb of Jinyun County Ms Li, the farmer, has 49 Hu sheep in the farm, including 45 ewes and 4 rams She has been in the business since the beginning of this year Ms Li told reporters that she had raised sheep, but that was all when she was a child She was born in the 1940s and 1950s and grew up in the countryside It's impossible to escape to herd sheep "Raising sheep at that time was quite different from raising sheep now I still remember when I was a kid, it's good to drive the sheep out to eat grass in the daytime When the sheep eat grass, they need to cut some grass and take it home Even if the sheep are not driven out the next day, they will have some to eat " Ms Li told reporters that she was also trying to do the breeding industry "Now agriculture is a hot word Many elites in it or investment circles come to do modern agriculture I know a person who used to be an equity investor and now runs a chicken farm But the breeding industry is also a very risky industry, such as this year's bird flu, those who raise chickens may lose money I also like the breeding industry, but I dare not invest too much, so I only raised 49 sheep The boat is small and good to turn around After all, I have been in touch with this industry for the first time " Ms Li told reporters: "now the farm is on the road of ecological recycling breeding The feed for sheep is made of agricultural wastes such as Chinese medicine residue, corn stalk, rapeseed cake, wheat bran, bean curd residue, etc., which has turned waste into treasure and reduced the feed cost of breeding." Ms Li said that because there are more farmers in Jinyun, there are many farmers near their farm to grow corn, so it is very convenient to get materials In the past, corn stalks were mostly discarded at the edge of farmland, which was useless Some of them were directly piled in farmland, and even affected farmers' planting in the next season They are now purchasing from farmers at the price of yuan per mu These useless wastes have become "treasures" and have entered the ecological circulation system of raising sheep "My biggest feeling of raising sheep is that I feel like a porter, who transports corn stalks, Chinese medicine dregs, tofu dregs and other feeds to the farm every day, and then transports the excrement of sheep." However, Ms Li disclosed that the sheep manure produced by the farm is very popular "Many people come to order from me because it is organic fertilizer, which is very good for planting vegetables, fruit trees, seedlings, etc and it is also environmental friendly The recycling of sheep manure has brought the company an additional benefit Our current price is yuan a bag, and more importantly, it solves the problem that the breeding industry creates ecological environment Pollution The recycling agriculture mode of the farm reduces the feed cost of breeding Hu sheep, improves the economic benefits and protects the ecological environment " The biggest feature of ecological sheep raising is to feed Chinese medicine dregs Ms Li said that although traditional Chinese medicine residue is the medical waste of traditional Chinese medicine hospital, it is really a good food additive for Hu Yang "I was surprised when I first heard that traditional Chinese medicine dregs were used to raise sheep However, I went to a foreign farm to learn that it was really good to raise sheep with traditional Chinese medicine dregs After Hu sheep took this kind of dregs, the meat quality would be more fresh and tender, and the growth speed was fast It could grow to 50 Jin in more than five months, meeting the requirements of breeding or marketing I tried it on my own I have a deep understanding that my sheep are healthy because they are mixed with Chinese medicine dregs, vitamins and cod liver oil in the feed Now they are growing very well In less than half a year, 45 ewes are pregnant In a few months, there will be many more lambs My breeding scale will be expanded soon " Where do so many Chinese medicine dregs come from? Can sheep eat Chinese medicine dregs? Ms Li said that all the dregs of traditional Chinese medicine she fed sheep were taken from a traditional Chinese medicine factory in Jinyun "Sheep eat grass Many traditional Chinese medicines are actually herbs Of course, sheep can eat them!" Of course, not all Chinese medicine dregs can be used as sheep feed "For example, some traditional Chinese medicine containing abortion ingredients can't be used, such as the price of safflower; traditional Chinese medicine in oncology can't be used; those with thorns can't be used; some insects need to be picked out when they are used as medicine Therefore, after we get the dregs of traditional Chinese medicine, we have to carefully select them first Sheep also have taste For example, if there is a kind of yellow traditional Chinese medicine, it doesn't like eating, and if there is a black sesame, it likes eating I didn't know a lot of traditional Chinese medicine at first, but now I can sort it out Ms Li told reporters that now her sheep are fed twice a day, and Chinese medicine dregs are added to the feed A sheep needs to eat about seven or eight Jin of feed a day, and the proportion of Chinese medicine dregs is about 3% Because of the low cost of feed, the price of this kind of sheep is almost the same as that of ordinary Hu sheep "Other people's sheep have been put on the market and sold, with good response, affordable price and delicious meat, which is very popular with consumers Many people buy these mutton back to make sliced mutton and stewed mutton soup I've tasted it myself It's very fragrant " During the interview, the reporter also learned that now many Huyang farmers are trying to use the traditional Chinese medicine residue feeding mode, which many farmers in Xiaoshan, Deqing, Huzhou and Wenzhou are doing Because there are more people to raise, the source of traditional Chinese medicine dregs in the future also worries many farmers Does the sheep that eat Chinese medicine dregs have "drug poison"? What do consumers think of mutton grown up with Chinese medicine dregs? Most of the consumers said that they would treat it with common sense, not too much pursuit or too much exclusion "I think it's better to grow up with Chinese medicine dregs than with antibiotics and hormones Those are harmful to the body, at least harmless As long as the sheep eat healthy feed, I will eat it at ease If this sheep is going to be very expensive, I may not buy it If you really value the effect of traditional Chinese medicine, it's better to drink it directly " Consumer Xiaoxie said "I think it's very good," said Miss Liu, who is fond of mutton "Many of them are nourishing qi and blood The sheep are nourishing If I eat the sheep, it should be very nourishing." Another Mr Wang was puzzled about the sheep: "as the saying goes, it's the third poison of medicine Will the sheep grow up with the dregs of traditional Chinese medicine be poisonous? In addition, what's more, the dregs of the medicine have been decocted Will it be effective for the sheep to eat them? " Can such mutton be eaten? The reporter consults a senior Chinese doctor in Zhejiang hospital of traditional Chinese medicine The traditional Chinese medicine told the reporter that he had heard about raising sheep with traditional Chinese medicine In fact, the dregs in many traditional Chinese medicine stores in Hangzhou are also collected by the sheep farms to feed the sheep "The toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine is different from that we usually say In fact, the toxicity of traditional Chinese medicine is partial, such as partial cold and partial heat In fact, all foods are biased Traditional Chinese medicine is to use the plant bias to correct the human body bias and make it neutral After the bias is decocted, it will disappear for the most part " He added, "in addition, our traditional Chinese medicine is not the same as before For example, some Chinese medicine with high toxicity is brewed and detoxified before being used as medicine In this way, after being decocted, there is basically no poison It is almost the same as the price of common grass for sheep to eat traditional Chinese medicine dregs, which will not affect the quality of sheep "
