June 12, 1871.
Kingdom of East Africa, First Town, Ruvu Village.
A tragedy is taking place at the entrance of the village. If you pass by the entrance of Ruvu Village at this time, all you can hear is the sound of tearing and angry roars.
Today Ruvu Village all the villagers came to the entrance of the village to join in the fun and watch the tragedy. Some people who had not seen such a scene for many years were talking about it with gusto, while some people who had never seen such a thing were exclaiming.
Especially the white villagers, who had never seen such a scene before, they were deeply shocked, and at the same time they felt their lower bodies tighten, as if they had experienced the same thing.
"Oh my God, is he really a veterinarian? I think he looks more like a butcher, and his equipment looks very different from an ordinary knife, more like a flattened spoon. Is this some of your Eastern secrets? Andre." Yuri Si asked Andre, his Eastern neighbor and the village security captain.
"According to your European theory, treating pigs is not a veterinarian! After all, this is part of the operation. I think the pig transplanting knife should be considered a surgery! The pig knife should be regarded as a kind of scalpel." Andre tried his best to explain to Yuri in his own language.
Yuri Si: "But these pigs are very healthy! They don't look sick. What's the point of this?"
Andre: "Healthy? Have you ever eaten pork?"
Yuri Si: "I have eaten it!"
Andre: "That's good. When I was at Germany, I also saw your pork. It does have a much stronger flavor than Far Eastern pork, and it can't be washed clean with water."
Andre graduated from Hechingen School. He was sent to East Africa without going to junior high school, so he still has this knowledge.
Andre: "So you don't castrate piglets when you raise pigs?"
Yuri Si: "Of course, no one in Europe does this. Isn't there something special about it?"
Andre Like Yuri Scope said, "Let me tell you this, after the piglet is castrated, the meat will grow faster and the taste will not be bad. If it is not castrated, the pork produced will taste bad."
Yuri Si was a little dubious and said, "Is this really the case?"
Andre: "Why are you lying to me? This is all the experience summed up by the predecessors! After all, everything has its reason for existence, but the meat of castrated pigs is more delicious. Your ancestors haven't discovered it yet."
Yuri: "I see! That means this castrated pig has grown up and has no odor?"
Europeans also eat pork, but they do not castrate the pigs during breeding. Such pork has a very rich flavor, so secondary processing is very important. Most Europeans are not very good at handling pork and generally use spices to cover up the smell of pork.
Although East Africa is one of the spice-producing countries, its planting area is not large, and spices are mainly exported. People in East Africa do not need spices. This is Ernst's view.
Naturally, how to solve the problem of strong smell of pork is to introduce the profession of piggrowers to castrate piglets. However, according to Western standards, piggrowers are proper veterinarians.
He looked like a butcher, but was actually a veterinarian from East Africa. He was as tall as a mountain as he walked towards the station. Two villagers handed a piglet over to him. He lifted the pig's leg with one hand and held the piglet in his hand.
He took a sterilized pig knife from the porcelain bowl filled with alcohol and said, "Cleave the path of life and death with both hands, and cut off the root of right and wrong with one knife." He spoke plausibly.
In an instant, he raised the knife and slashed it at the piglet's lychees. In an instant, the two lychees fell into the bowl prepared in advance.
Only then did the little piglet react and scream in pain. The veterinarian took a needle and thread and sewed it twice, sprinkled some powder on the wound, and the castration operation was completed, while people on both sides watched carefully.
"Okay, are there any piglets in your village? If there are any more that need chopped pig eggs, send them over as soon as possible. I'm rushing to the next village!" the veterinarian said.
There are few veterinarians in East Africa, and even fewer are able to castrate pigs, so most of them are mobile workers. According to government arrangements, they castrate pigs in the area they are responsible for along fixed routes.
"No, no, these are the piglets the government issues!"
The piglets were distributed to the villages for free by East African government to raise them to increase the meat consumption of East African residents and to consume the overproduced grain.
The breeding industry in East Africa is divided into agricultural breeding and pastoral breeding. Pastoral breeding is easy to understand. Agricultural breeding is mainly captive breeding, and feed feeding accounts for the majority.
In the past, working livestock such as cattle and horses were mainly kept in captivity in East Africa. Now the output of cattle and horses has increased to a certain extent, but they are mainly used for labor and transportation. Some of the northern pastures are still used for export, but very few of them are distributed to the people of East Africa.
In fact, the pastures in East Africa are far inferior to those in other regions, and they are only slightly better than Australia.
Like Europe, North and South America, there are moist grasslands that are most suitable for the growth of pasture. However, the humid areas in East Africa are rainforests, but the grasslands are divided into two seasons: rain and dry. Once the dry season comes, the pasture will be reduced, which is not conducive to grazing.
Therefore, in East Africa, equal emphasis has been placed on pasture farming and farming in agricultural areas. However, farming in agricultural areas is more scattered and the units are smaller, but the scale is no worse than farming in pastoral areas.
At the same time, farming in agricultural areas is naturally more suitable for raising grains, chickens, ducks, cattle, sheep, and pigs, among which pork is very suitable for increasing meat production in East Africa. First of all, it only takes about half a year for a pig to be slaughtered, and it has a strong reproductive capacity. Secondly, pigs are not picky eaters as omnivores. There are a lot of agricultural and sideline products that can be used as pig feed. Relatively speaking, the cost of raising pigs is lower than the cost of raising other animals.
In East Africa, there were a large number of potatoes and other crops grown specifically for black slaves. Such crops, which did not require much effort, were easy to grow and had huge yields. They could be used as pig feed.
There is not much difference between Europeans and the Far East when it comes to their choice of meat. People originally use pork as the most important source of meat, and only people influenced by Arab culture do not eat pork.
Germans has great enthusiasm for eating pork, which is reflected in the production of various sausages. But in the current era, everyone is satisfied as long as they have enough to eat. We are not so particular about it. Just throw it into the pot and cook it.
This time Kingdom of East Africa has introduced a total of 200,000 breeding pigs, mainly in Central Province and Coastal Province, Sea-Lake Province, South Salzburg Province pilot promotion, breeding on a village basis, that is, without large-scale breeding.
Large-scale breeding has high risks and high technical requirements. One careless step may lead to the annihilation of the whole army, especially in captivity. With so many livestock raised together, it is difficult to solve health problems.
