The boss started with raising pigs

Chapter 165 Keeping Swine Farms Warm in Winter

1:00 p.m.

After the two sides met in the county town, they headed towards the village of Shiwo.

"Mr. Zhang, look, we are going to build the No. 3 pig farm here, and over here are ten large pig breeding workshops, each with 100,000 stalls."

Zhang Hai looks at the drawings as he looks at the terrain of the site, and then nods in agreement!

Seeing that Zhang Hai had no objection, Manager Wang smiled and continued to introduce: "That place, near the water elimination hole, is our sewage treatment workshop, after the waste water from the pig farm is purified, it will flow into the water elimination hole!

"Nice!" Zhang Hai nodded his head, thinking that if he had designed it himself, he would have built the sewage treatment plant here too!

"This vacant lot next to the hog workshop is going to have a couple of feed towers to feed the automated feeder!

After Manager Wang's introduction, Zhang Hai had to sigh, now pig raising is really more and more high-tech, even pig feeding has been automated and intelligent.

In the past, a large new pig farm had hundreds of workers, but now with this intelligent equipment, on average, one worker can feed thousands of pigs, and some farms with strong technical strength can even reach the ultra-high level of one worker feeding 2,000 pigs!

"Manager Wang, winter is coming, what do you think about the hog farm's warming facilities?"

The temperature in Guizhou Province is not low in winter, averaging around five degrees, but occasionally there are extreme weather conditions, such as the heavy snowfall in 2008, which caused great damage to agriculture and industry.

So heating facilities can usually be left out, but not without, and your own hog farm must be prepared for the risks!

"Mr. Zhang, we are going to use a hot air fan to keep warm!!!"

Hot air fan is also called livestock and poultry air conditioning, is the boiler's heat through the fan blowing to the pig house, sheds uniform temperature, clean and sanitary, the price is much cheaper than electric air conditioning, many large pig farms use.

The hot air blower consists of a blower, a heater, and a control circuit. It achieves the working temperature, air volume control. In addition, the hot air blower also sets up an over-temperature protection circuit for the air inlet of the blower and the motor, and sets up an emergency brake switch for the general circuit, which further perfects the protection of the equipment.

At present, many large professional pig farms are using it!

"Hot air fan?"

"Yes that's right heaters, because don't you have electricity subsidies for hog farms? That's why we designed it to use electric fans!!!" Manager Wang smiled and explained!

Hot air blower is also divided into electric type and fuel type.

The electric heaters series adopt imported heating pipes and high temperature control equipment, with long service life, and the common ones can be controlled at 40-100 degrees.

Electric heating fan is a new type of greenhouse heating equipment, compared to coal, infrared, boilers and other methods, it has the following advantages: rapid and quick heating: 1-100 square meters of nursery from 10 degrees to 25 degrees, only 30-40 minutes temperature control: constant temperature (maximum 40 degrees) can reduce the cost caused by the sudden rise or fall of temperature. Simple, convenient and safe: small size, with wheels.

Its operation is simple and easy to learn, which can eliminate the potential dangers of entering the plant for commissioning and maintenance. Low cost: Compared to traditional methods, it has some advantages in production costs. In terms of overall production costs (e.g., feed conversion rate, cost of light bulbs or boilers, etc., electricity costs, and labor costs) there is a clear advantage in terms of long life cycle, which of course also requires good maintenance, and it can have a life cycle of about 10 years.

"About how much electricity does it take per day if I use an electric fan? What is the cost?" Although electric heaters look great, Zhang Hai knows that the more advanced something is, the more horrible the cost!

"Based on the previous customer's usage statistics, the average electricity bill is 50 cents per square meter per day!"

'On average, it costs 50 cents per square meter per day for electricity?' Hearing this number, Zhang Hai frowned!

The pig farm in front of us has about 300,000 square meters just for the pig workshop, and it would cost 150,000 yuan a day just to heat the pig workshop.

Even if the company had a 30 percent discount on electricity, it would still cost over 100,000 per day!

And this is just a pig farm, like this pig farm itself there are a total of four, so this calculation, these four mega pig farm itself every day just to keep warm costs more than 400,000!

In addition, there is a 10,000-head pig farm, which should also require more than 10,000 yuan of electricity per day.

In other words, for every day that the heaters are running in the winter, they need to pay more than 430,000 yuan in electricity bills!

Calculating this number, Zhang Hai couldn't help but have a toothache!

No wonder small pig farms can't afford to use equipment like heaters, because the cost is too high!

"Actually, the heat fan is not used every day, you can usually use the sun canopy to keep warm, and it only needs to be turned on when the temperature is particularly low and when it's raining!"

Seems to see Zhang Hai's heartache, manager Wang busy explaining!

"Well, I understand that the heaters are more expensive, but they should be used!" Zhang Hai knows that the only way to get more return is to be willing to invest, so this part of the investment in keeping warm is essential!

After Shiwo Village, we came back to Gaopo Village!

As the name suggests, High Slope Village is a mountain village located on a high slope, where the average elevation is 1,200 meters above sea level, and because of the high elevation, it is colder in winter.

Seeing this terrain of the High Slope Village, Zhang Hai suddenly regretted his decision and wondered why he chose this address in the first place!

Because the colder the temperature, the more it costs to keep warm, and the location was not chosen with winter warmth in mind at all!!!

"Because of this creek, the environment of No. 5 pig farm is the best among the three pig farms." Manager Wang said with a smile!

The best environment?

Zhang Hai was surprised and then looked at Manager Wang strangely.

I thought to myself, "Has Manager Wang been drinking at noon?

It must be very cold in winter at this high altitude, but is this the best environment?

After that, Zhang Hai took a closer look at the creek, but unfortunately he couldn't see anything special in the end.

Seemingly seeing the doubts in Zhang Hai's heart, Manager Wang smiled and explained: "Because of this stream, our designers designed a small hydroelectric power plant especially for Pig Farm No. 5.

With this small hydroelectric power plant, the pig farm will not only be self-sufficient, but the excess can also be sold to the national grid, creating some extra income for the pig farm!"

Hearing the introduction of Manager Wang, Zhang Hai's eyes bright, did not expect to have such an operation, why did not he think of repairing a small hydropower before?

For example, in pig farm No. 1, is there a creek like this over there?
