Chapter 1482

Taking care of mother animals is the most common job for veterinarians.

In the ranch, the most willing to pay time is when the ewes and cows are pregnant every year.

If grassland is the foundation of pasture, sheep is the future of the farm. On weekdays, state-owned farms and herdsmen are examples of picking up goods. Those who can use green fodder are reluctant to use cereal fodder, and those who can use water in grasslands will not pay for pumping stations. Once in a while, when animals get sick, as long as it's not an epidemic, they won't spend too much money on treatment.

I really can't. I'll have extra food at the weekend.

Only when the mother is pregnant, it can't be ignored.

If there are not enough lambs and calves born, next year we will enter the empty window period of pasture, which is the real hardship.

Therefore, once the ewe is pregnant, the treatment will be improved.

The moldy and deteriorated feed will be cut off first, and all will be allocated to the rams. Some people may say, how can the moldy and deteriorated feed be given to the animals? When raising this question, think about the meaning of swill as a high-grade feed. You can guess the average level of feed.

In addition, the proportion of concentrate in feed for pregnant ewes will also increase. Generally speaking, ewes who are two months pregnant can get rid of hay, and concentrate composed of soybean, corn, barley, wheat, bean cake and bone meal becomes staple food. They often cook it and feed it several times a day. From the perspective of sheep, they are extremely happy.

In addition, epidemic prevention and insect repellent is also the focus of veterinarians. According to different regions, ewes should be given regular injections of vaccines against sheep plague, sheep sudden attack, sheep enterotoxemia, lamb dysentery, and black plague, and each injection is worth money.

For the ranchers who have to pay for every cent, who is willing to pay the veterinarian at this time.

Everyone is reluctant to see a doctor when they get sick. Common ailments are nothing more than suffering in bed, let alone for animals.

It is reasonable to say that veterinarians have so much experience in taking care of animals, especially females, that it should not be difficult to take care of the pregnant sheep of cloned sheep.

However, things are not so simple.

In the past, veterinarians are very cost-effective work, they are used to doing cost-effective work.

From their point of view and the rancher's point of view, any time a sheep needs treatment, it comes down to a problem - is it worth it.

It's the most common way of thinking to treat the disease if it's cost-effective and give up if it's not cost-effective. There is no animal disease that must be cured, except that vaccines must be given and insect repellents must be done.

No, the price of a sheep is 50 yuan, but it costs 100 yuan.

To be a herdsman is to make a living, not a charity.

However, what is the price of a ewe carrying a cloned sheep?

Yang Rui genetic engineering laboratory does not have an actuary to do this calculation, but it is certain that the unit of valuation must be 10000 yuan, and the longer the pregnancy, the more valuable the ewe.

A total of 5 months of pregnancy ewes, can hold up to two or three months later, 100000 yuan can not hold.

It's still at home. If it's put abroad, it's a small thing to translate it into US dollars.

The veterinarians of Yang Rui genetic engineering laboratory are faced with the task of how to use the best medicine, the best equipment and the most sufficient manpower to protect the ewe's fetus.

However, most veterinarians are not really good at this job.

In just two months, half of them failed.

Some of them have bad luck, some have poor skills, and some are totally unfit for such work.

It can be said that some ewes are unnecessary losses caused by poor care.

The researchers in Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory were all anxious when such an evaluation report came out.

"I don't care if you sell yetian. Can't we find some better ones? "

"The veterinarians with good domestic level are all here."

"Let the good level of management, can't again head to head of the separate care."

"Are you a veterinarian or a soldier? No one else would agree. What's more, unified care doesn't have to be distributed to people in the end, just for their idiots, it doesn't have the same result in the end. "

"Can't you get a Veterinary Institute or something and pull it all over?"

"Not to mention their level, which Veterinary Institute would you like to co-author your paper with?"

"Come on, although we are engaged in animal husbandry, we can't be willing to degenerate to go hand in hand with veterinarians."Yang Rui sat in the laboratory, listening to the researchers changing the way to scold the veterinarian silly, without the slightest fluctuation of thoughts.

Just as researchers need exercise, so do veterinarians.

He is prepared for this.

The pregnancy management of cloned sheep is a world-class problem. As far as the level of the 1980s is concerned, it can only be a gamble.

Yang Rui doesn't know exactly what kind of care model is right, and the existing technical indicators are not instructive. On the contrary, the inherent mode of thinking may play the opposite role.

It's just like whether human women want to be in confinement or not is still a difficult paradox, not to mention the pregnancy care of sheep.

Therefore, Yang Rui is just immersed in his own world, listening to the repeated curse and discussion in his ears, taking a deep breath, as if he had gone to the virgin forest of scientific research.

Reading and learning is the process of fighting against fools in the sea of fools.

The pride of those who have studied in primary school is that they can write down their names and calculate the price of vegetables. They are no longer illiterate fools; After junior high school, I can read at least 26 letters of English. I have the ability to go to various foreign websites independently and brush the good people of the building owners. I am no longer a fool in primary school; Read high school, then watch the financial channel, at least will not point to the curve, hey hey smile, like a junior high school fool.

The people who can enter the university can be said to have swam deeply in the sea of fools. Their greatest achievement is to see the world clearly. They know that they can't solve Goldbach's conjecture with elementary mathematics, and they can't make perpetual motion machines with modern physics. They are completely away from the world of middle school fools.

If you want to stay in the laboratory for a few days, you will hear the self-evaluation of graduate students: I'm such a fool! How can I be so stupid! I'm fuckin 'stupid!

As for the doctoral students with the highest level, they are very condescending to graduate students and undergraduates, "Why are you so stupid! Dare you be a little more stupid! Shit, you're so stupid and talented. "It's not their mantra, it's also the mainstream of their inner drama. Only when they see the payroll, the doctoral students will sincerely say: this stupid world!

As a lab veteran, Yang Rui is used to noisy labs, and there is no exception to sheep cloning.

It's the veterinarians themselves who are guilty of doing it.

Silly Li Zhanjun was pushed out, responsible for explaining to Yang Rui.

Li Zhanjun is still the first time to do a large national project. Originally, he was not used to the grand scene of Yang Rui's genetic engineering laboratory, so he was even more nervous when he met the boss.

Standing in front of Yang Rui, looking at Yang Rui's bright white coat and smelling his clothes, Li Zhanjun couldn't speak for a moment.

"You are Li Zhanjun." Yang Rui opened his mouth with a smile. The expression on his face was warm.

Li Zhanjun was instantly excited: "do you know me?"

"Of course, you are my roll call." What Yang Rui said is not true. There are more veterinarians in the laboratory, most of them are selected senior talents. With the scale of hundreds of people, Yang Rui can't go to work as a full-time hr.

However, Yang Rui knows the name of Li Zhanjun.

This gentleman's reputation outside the circle is not obvious. When he was young, he didn't have any chance to stand out. He was a veterinarian in silence and retired.

However, his work after retirement made Li Zhanjun famous. At that time, he took care of the horses at the racecourse in Yangcheng and independently completed the operation on a retired thoroughbred horse. The latter recovered so well that he returned to the competition field and won several Championships.

This kind of story, once happened, is a legend that people like to talk about, but Li Zhanjun quietly completed several times, so that people in the circle would not notice him.

As we all know, due to China's policy environment and history, horse racing is mostly self entertainment, not even the second echelon. Most of the horses taken by the racecourse are retired old horses and injured horses. Li Zhanjun is a fish in water in this environment, and he has made some fame and money.

However, because of his age, Li Zhanjun did not work in the front line for a long time, and soon became a reputation and symbol.

Yang Rui looked at Li Zhanjun and asked curiously, "do you usually work in the pasture? What do you mainly do?"

Li Zhanjun replied blankly: "that is to take care of animals and get vaccinations. In addition, I will also do some minor operations for occasionally injured cattle and sheep to bandage and fix them."

It's hard for other people to recognize anything special from this passage, but Yang Rui asked: "under normal circumstances, cattle and sheep fall, don't they want to be slaughtered?""I can't help it. In fact, most of the injuries can be solved if they are handled well."

Yang Rui nodded and said, "all good techniques are made by practice."

Li Zhanjun could only reply "yes" foolishly.

"This batch is not going well?" Yang Rui then asked.

Li Zhanjun immediately understood it, nodded his head and said: "we are not very proficient, and the success rate is still relatively low..."

"Don't explain." Yang Rui interrupted.

Li Zhanjun immediately drew his feet together and lowered his head to accept criticism.

"How many batches do you think it will be possible for you to make it at present?" However, Yang Rui didn't mean to criticize Li Zhanjun, and his tone didn't change much.

This is the key problem at present. Li Zhanjun suddenly became nervous. He looked back with a guilty heart and said: "we have no mature experience or successful examples... We discussed similar problems in our recent meeting..."

"I don't want to hear what others say, I want to hear your judgment, Your personal judgment. " Yang Rui's question was even more unexpected.

Li Zhanjun shivered unconsciously, and then he felt sweating.

"I..." with Li Zhanjun's temperament, he had to avoid similar problems before.

He did not like politics, nor did he like meetings, let alone military writs. He likes to stay with cattle, sheep, mules and horses. When he is cured, the cured animals will thank him. If he is not cured, no animals will come back for trouble.

Yang Rui's problem, however, seems to be a problem that will cause trouble.

However, Li Zhanjun did not want to avoid it at this time.

In other words, when he nodded instinctively and was subconsciously pushed out by his colleagues to face Yang Rui, Li Zhanjun had an idea in his heart.

A bold idea!

"I think that this batch, or even the next batch, of pregnant ewes are very difficult to endure until they give birth." Li Zhanjun didn't wait for Yang Rui to ask. He said in succession: "we haven't done such work as pregnancy management before. We are in the process of learning. The high abortion rate and high pregnancy diseases we are facing are things that we haven't paid attention to before. It takes a lot of time and time to solve them one by one."

Taking a look at Yang Rui, Li Zhanjun said: "now it's not only the problem that we need to train and be familiar with, sheep also need to train and be familiar with. These sheep are not raised in the local, long-distance transport over, but also to pick up eggs and pregnancy, are not well prepared. If it's just embryo transfer, it's not a big problem. Now it's embryo transfer of cloned sheep, which has already affected the success rate. "

Yang Rui's brow is tight. To be honest, he hasn't considered the relevant issues.

If there is any difference between Yang Rui and Wilmut, the father of cloned sheep, it is fatal to have no experience in animal husbandry and zoology.

In history, Wilmut's doctor is about zoology. Of course, compared with the freezing of many big pigs in veterinarians, no matter how they arrange the chain of contempt in their circle, Wilmut has worked for many years in animal husbandry and zoology, and has accumulated rich experience before he enchanted the white faced sheep.

Yang Rui's lab resume is beautiful enough, but he has no experience in dealing with sheep. He has experience in embryo transfer of cattle, and he is qualified to participate in sheep cloning, but the host is not ready.

However, lack of experience does not mean lack of theory.

As soon as Yang Rui listened to Li Zhanjun's suggestion, he thought it was reasonable. It was just the first sentence of Li Zhanjun, which made it difficult for him to praise it.

"In your opinion, this and the next batch of ewes should be given up?" Yang Rui asked a little hard. His experiment has always been very fast, rarely too tired to achieve results.

Most of all, he is not used to working with sheep.

However, animal related research is annoying because of the endless work and various habits of animals.

Li Zhanjun also completely forgot the instructions of his colleagues and affirmed: "I don't think the first two batches of sheep should be given too high expectations and put resources in the next few batches."

"How many? I mean, how many more batches do you need? " Yang Rui tried to hide his anxiety.

"After two batches, maybe three batches or more." Li Zhanjun said.

The pregnancy period of sheep is about five months. Counting the time before and after pregnancy, it is equal to six months. If there are five batches, it can't be counted like this. Yang Rui woke up quickly and said, "well, I'll get more sheep first. Although I'm not familiar with the land, how much progress can I speed up. Blame me for not thinking it over. ""You are well prepared. We are not good at it." Speaking of this, Li Zhanjun suddenly woke up and asked, "did you take my advice?"

"Of course, you are a professional." Yang Rui stopped for a moment, and then said, "go to inform Gu Qiang and Wang Liangcai, and let them speed up the oocyte transplantation."

"Is it all right for me... To inform you?" Li Zhanjun is not confident again.

Yang Rui took a look at him and suddenly yelled: "Gu Qiang!"

"Yes Gu Qiang was in the laboratory. He immediately answered the call when he heard it.

"Double the output." Yang Rui roars again.

"Ah? Yes Gu Qiang didn't talk much either.

"Professor Wang." Yang Rui is a little polite to Wang Liangcai who is on loan.

Wang Liangcai also answered.

"Double that."

"Yes." Wang Liangcai's voice has also been trained.

Li Zhanjun's ears were full of buzzing in the room. He only felt that the backward village level communication mode was so incompatible with the atmosphere of the laboratory.
