Super Ranch: Brothers come to Africa to farm

Chapter 146 Tick infection!

After tasting the deliciousness of the river eels, Wang Lu even had the urge to set a large-scale net in the Dome River to see if he could get some more river eels to satisfy his craving.

However, there are too many things going on in the ranch right now, so Wang Lu can only give up in frustration.

Previously, because Wang Lu was busy with the construction of the living area and the entire ranch, he actually did not conduct a detailed investigation of the ecological environment of the Dome River. He thought that this river of life on the ranch, which originated from groundwater and mountain streams, had at most some tilapia distribution. That's it. Now it seems that the biodiversity in the Dome River exceeds my expectations.

In addition to weeding the crop fields in the past two days, Lao Wei also led a group of veterans to dig a lot of special traps on the edge of a few acres of land near the Woulu Mountains, not to mention that there was a real harvest.

They caught several Red River wild boars that had come down the mountain to steal their mouths. Since they were catching Wang Lu and the others alive this time, they didn't even spare the pig blood, so they had a serious butchered meal.

At this time, Wang Lu had an intuitive understanding of the extent of the Red River wild boars in the mountains. He hunted forty or fifty of them at once, and the veterans still found many on the hills outside the Woulu Mountains. Few fresh Red River Boar tracks.

These guys form a litter. Are there any natural enemies in the mountains? I am afraid that the number of Red River wild boars in the entire Woulu Mountains has reached an astonishing number.

Obviously, it is basically an impossible task to clear the Red River wild boar in the entire Woulu Mountains.

All Wang Lu can do is to guard and prevent these guys from destroying his crops.

If this is possible, it would be a good choice to hunt some Red River wild boars as a source of meat for the pasture.

The first thing Wang Lu does every morning when he wakes up is to check whether the traps set by the veterans have yielded any results. As expected, before Wang Lu reaches the place, he hears howls. Needless to say, there is another damn Red River wild boar. Trapped in a trap.

Parker and Lao Wei, who were traveling with him, tied up the greedy unfortunate bastard with ropes and pulled him up directly. The fate awaiting him was to be made into air-dried pork and braised meat.

"It seems that our dried meat reserves will increase by hundreds of kilograms!"

Old Wei said happily, if there is no such good thing in China, this thing is as if it is free. You can pick up hundreds of kilograms of wild boar by just setting a few traps. If this were placed in the famine era, at least it would be possible. Live a whole village.

Just when Wang Lu was about to return to the living area with the veterans and take care of the Red River wild boar, he heard the roar of Xiao Wangcai from the livestock pen in the distance.

This little guy is growing up day by day, and his roar is becoming more and more powerful. It is no longer the cute voice before, but it is a bit like the king of the prairie.

"Oh, let me see, which unlucky guy has angered our little Wangcai? If you distinguish the boss carefully on the grassland, you can distinguish the different meanings of the roars of animals. For example, Xiao Wangcai is now The roaring sound is obviously warning and intimidating, and it seems that it has become somewhat aware of its identity as the king of the prairie!"

Parker used his professionalism as a field guide and immediately judged Xiao Wangcai's intentions.

Hearing this, Wang Lu also took a look with interest, and found that Xiao Wangcai was glaring at a Boer goat.

Whenever this Boer goat makes any move, it will attract a warning from Xiao Wangcai. Even if Xiao Wangcai doesn't listen to the advice, he will step forward without hesitation and attack it with his not-so-sharp claws.

This is a bit interesting.

Wang Lu couldn't help but pay more attention to it for a while. After all, this was not something Xiao Wangcai would do.Ever since Wang Lu asked the little guy to take care of these cows and sheep calves, Xiao Wangcai has been doing his best. Only when these restless cows and sheep calves wander away from the living area, will he come forward to rescue these guys. Drive back.

But now this Boer goat has not run too far, and it even just wants to join the large army.

As Wang Lu focused more of his attention on the livestock pen, Wang Lu also noticed that in addition to the Boer goat, several African zebu cattle were also treated similarly to Xiao Wangcai.

Xiao Wangcai expelled them individually from the herd of cattle and sheep, and then strictly prohibited them from approaching the large army.

These cows and sheep also made some humble shouts, but Xiao Wangcai ignored them and still stared at them eagerly!

"Boss, something is wrong!"

At this time, Parker, who was also paying attention to Xiao Wangcai's situation, said solemnly, and then walked towards the livestock pen.

Wang Lu waved and asked the veterans behind him to carry the Red River wild boar back first, while he and Old Wei followed Parker's pace.

But before he took two steps, Wang Lu saw Parker in front of him stop, turn around and make a gesture to himself.

"Boss, don't come here. Damn it, these cows and sheep calves are infected with ticks! It looks like we are in trouble!"

Ticks?

When Wang Ludeng heard this, he was stunned for a moment, but he quickly reacted. His eyes immediately focused on the calves of cattle and sheep that had been expelled by Xiao Wangcai, and he immediately discovered some symptoms.

The most obvious thing was that the Boer goat had a large area of ​​redness and swelling on its abdomen. It seemed to have symptoms of bleeding and even signs of erosion.

There was something wrong with this Boer goat's mental state. It seemed a little weak, and even its eyes were cloudy.

The same is true for the other African Zebu cows. The symptoms are milder, but some redness, swelling or bleeding points can be found more or less, and they have not yet developed to a very serious level.

"I'm sure these unlucky guys have been bitten by ticks. Boss, it's best not to get close to them. Even for humans, ticks are quite dangerous insects. In severe cases, they will cause fever and skin ulcers." even death!"

Parker looked serious, looked around and then continued:

"We must take measures. If these ticks are allowed to infest, the livestock we raise may soon be infected with large areas of ticks. It must be those damn Red River wild boars. These guys are naturally infected by ticks. The parasite!"

Parker also analyzed the source of these ticks. There is no doubt that the Red River wild boars are the most suspect.

Wang Lu was now aware of the seriousness of the problem. He had heard of ticks in China, and there were even reports of humans dying from tick bites, so he had no choice but to be cautious.
