Chapter 2666

It's a bit like cooking, but you can be more liberal with it.

Finally, it needs to ferment.

Move the semi-finished product into the outdoor fermentation pit; one month of fermentation is enough.

In this regard, it's a bit like making fertilizer.

Zhao Chi definitely doesn't have time to wait a month—he'll use one Quick-Growth Talisman to ripen it immediately.

Soon, the first batch of feed was completed.

【Item】Feed

【Effect】Poultry and livestock growth speed +10%

【Fermentation】1 month

【Duration】6 hours

【Materials】Fine feed, coarse feed

【Description】Through proper ratios, this feed improves poultry and livestock diet, encourages them to eat more, thereby increasing their growth speed.

Feed increases growth speed by 10%.

The bonus isn't very high.

But for livestock with very long growth cycles, this 10% is still significant.

There's also one more attribute: duration.

After poultry and livestock eat this feed, it obviously won't last a lifetime.

They need to eat it with every meal.

Once stopped, the bonus naturally disappears.

That's reasonable…

Right now this feed is just the most basic version—let's immediately improve it and see the effect.

«12. Livestock draft power +10%» 2 points

Oh dear…

There are quite a few feed improvement options.

And they're all pretty good…

Right now there are no poultry, so the poultry category can be ignored.

But Zhao Chi took an extra look at the note for "egg yield +10%."

This means each egg has a 10% chance of producing one extra egg.

Once poultry are available, improving this will be worthwhile—right now, skip it.

First, look at the general category.

Option 1 is highly versatile—it works for both poultry and livestock.

After reading this one, Zhao Chi felt he didn't need to look at the rest.

He basically intends to improve Option 1.

But he'll still check the others.

Option 2 is disease resistance.

Disease resistance is useful…

But it's unnecessary.

Zhao Chi's feathered cattle have a very short growth cycle, and multiple barns are separated for management.

Even if an epidemic breaks out, it won't infect all of them.

For ordinary illnesses, treat them if possible; if not, just slaughter them—no need to waste precious improvement points here.

Then there's cold resistance and heat resistance—both are useful too.

For example, tropical livestock raised in cold regions can eat feed that boosts cold resistance.

The reverse is also true.

But Zhao Chi didn't need to.

The general types were all quite good and useful, yet the first item remained unshakable.

Continuing to look at the livestock types.

There were four items in total.

Use the process of elimination.

Item 11 increases wool yield; if Zhao Chi raised sheep, it could be considered.

Currently, they were raising Feather Oxen, whose feathers were more than enough to use, so this item was eliminated.

Then came increasing yield and increasing growth speed.

Both were quite good.

Zhao Chi wanted them all.

Actually, there was no need to agonize.

He could have them all.

Through the capabilities of the Heavenly Works Pavilion, he could consume Technology Points to reopen three additional technology branches.

Then strengthen these four items separately: growth speed, meat yield, milk yield, and draft power.

Afterwards, feed the ungrown calves feed that increases growth speed, and switch to other feed once they grow up.

Feed all the cows feed that increases milk yield.

Feed those bulls used for pulling carts and plowing fields feed that increases draft power.

Feed the beef cattle raised for slaughter and meat consumption feed that increases meat yield.

Each takes what they need.

This is not bad.

It is just consuming some Technology Points.

Let's do it!

Some time passed again.

Zhao Chi had improved all four types of feed and finished renaming them.

He then consumed four Swift-Growth Talismans to fully ripen all the feed.

Finally, the four new types of feed were completed.

They were all inferior quality...

There was no way around it; Zhao Chi's skill and specialization in feed making were both 0, so succeeding was already good enough...

There was no time to practice now; after finishing this busy period, he could make a special effort to study and improve his abilities.

For now, he could only let it be.
