Inheriting a dilapidated ranch in North America, he became a billionaire through animal taming and t

Su Chen wrote the epidemic prevention plan on the whiteboard.

"First, thorough disinfection."

"Livestock sheds, feed warehouses, drinking water facilities, and pasture roads must be inspected twice a day, without fail."

"Second, control over personnel entry and exit."

"All outside personnel and vehicles are prohibited from entering. Ranch workers must be disinfected and change into protective clothing before entering and leaving."

Third, set up isolation zones.

"A disinfection point has been set up at the entrance of the ranch, and all vehicles must be disinfected."

"A temporary isolation shed will be set up on the east and west sides. If any cattle show abnormalities, they will be immediately moved and isolated."

Fourth, vaccination.

"After Ben arrived, he administered emergency vaccinations to all the cattle."

Fifth, routine patrols.

"Workers inspect all the cattle three times a day, recording their feed intake and mental state, and reporting any abnormalities immediately."

Juan raised his hand.

"Is there enough disinfectant?"

Su Chen looked at Emma.

"There are still 50 liters left, enough for a week."

"That's not enough. Luke will send over 100 liters today, and we'll also purchase 5 sets of protective suits and 10 disinfectant sprayers."

"clear."

Twenty minutes later, Ben arrived.

He brought 50 doses of foot-and-mouth disease vaccine and a complete set of epidemic prevention equipment.

"Su Chen, the situation in the surrounding ranches is more serious than we imagined."

"Twelve animals have been diagnosed in Anderson, and the town government requires all of them to be vaccinated within 48 hours."

"Is it too late?"

"Your herd isn't very large; we can finish it off in one day."

"But we need to do it in batches. First, we'll target the best cattle herds and superior calves, then we'll target the high-quality beef cattle and ordinary beef cattle."

Su Chen nodded.

"start."

At 7:00 a.m., vaccination began in full swing.

Ben, along with Juan and Luis, first went to the top-quality cattle shed and vaccinated each of the ten top-quality cattle.

Each one is recorded, noting the vaccination time and vaccine batch number.

Su Chen watched from the side, while simultaneously activating Beast King Affinity to closely monitor the cattle's vaccination response.

After the first one was hit, there was a slight disturbance, but it quickly subsided.

The second head, the third head... all are normal.

After finishing off the top-quality cattle, we moved on to the fine calves.

The eighteen calves were vaccinated one by one. The technique was so skillful that the calves didn't even feel any pain.

"The immunity of high-quality calves is weaker than that of adult cattle, so they should be closely monitored for 24 hours after vaccination," this was the instruction.

"I'll keep an eye on it."

At 10:00 AM, the high-quality beef cattle herd began to graze.

150 cows, that's a lot of work.

Juan and Luis drove the cattle into the vaccination area in batches, and each one was given a shot, while Su Chen took notes.

Meanwhile, old Jack and Tom set up a disinfection station at the entrance of the ranch.

A simple disinfection tent, equipped with spray equipment, is where all personnel entering and exiting must be disinfected and change into protective clothing.

Tom was in charge of registration, recording the license plate, driver's name, and time of entry and exit for each vehicle.

Luke brought over disinfectant, but was stopped at the entrance.

"Old Tom, it's me, Luke."

Tom sprayed Luke's pickup truck with the sprayer.

"Even knowing it's you, you still need to disinfect."

"The boss said that in extraordinary times, no one is exempt."

Luke was both amused and exasperated.

"Okay, okay, go ahead and criticize."

After disinfection, Luke unloaded 100 liters of disinfectant and 5 sets of protective clothing into the supplies storage room, said goodbye to Su Chen, and left.

At 2 p.m., vaccinations were still ongoing.

A typical herd of 200 head of beef cattle is the largest and most time-consuming group.

Su Chen arranged for Juan and Louis to take turns herding the cattle to ensure efficiency.

He gave himself injections, and his arm ached from all the injections, but he didn't complain once.

Su Chen handed him a bottle of water.

"Ben, take a break."

"No need, let's talk about it after we've finished."

He took a swig and kept going.

By 4 p.m., all cattle had been vaccinated.

Su Chen compiled the data.

Ten head of top-quality cattle, with a 100% vaccination rate.

Eighteen high-quality calves were vaccinated, with a 100% vaccination rate.

150 high-quality beef cattle, with a 100% vaccination rate.

There are 200 head of ordinary beef cattle, with a vaccination rate of 100%.

A total of 378 cattle were slaughtered.

He was so exhausted that he collapsed into a chair.

"Finally finished."

"The next week is crucial; it takes time for the vaccine to produce antibodies."

"We cannot relax our epidemic prevention efforts during this period."

"it is good."

Su Chen opened the system panel and found the "Epidemic Prevention and Control" skill.

【Disease Prevention and Control (Lv.2)】

[It can improve the effectiveness of vaccination by 30%, enhance the immunity of cattle, and reduce the risk of disease infection.]

Su Chen directly consumed 500 points to activate it.

[Disease prevention and control skills have been activated]

[Cattle herd immunity increased by 30%]

[Vaccine efficacy improved by 30%]

[Risk of disease infection reduced by 50%]

Su Chen closed the panel, feeling a little more at ease.

But we still can't relax.

At 5 p.m., Su Chen convened a meeting with everyone to assign patrol tasks.

"Starting tomorrow, there will be three patrols a day: 6:00 AM, 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM."

"Inspection items: feed intake, mental state, body temperature, and whether there are blisters in the mouth and hooves of the cattle."

"Report any abnormalities immediately."

Juan raised his hand.

"What should we do if a suspected case is discovered?"

"Immediately move them to the isolation shed and notify Ben to come and diagnose them."

"Do not handle it yourself to avoid cross-infection."

"clear."

Su Chen looked at Old Jack and Tom.

"The disinfection point at the entrance is manned 24 hours a day, and we can't relax even at night."

"Old Jack works the day shift, Tom works the night shift. Contact me anytime if you have any problems."

"it is good."

"All workers should not leave the ranch during this period. I will arrange for Luke to deliver supplies."

After the meeting, Su Chen went to visit the various livestock sheds.

The top-quality cattle herd is in good condition, the calves are in good condition, and both the premium beef cattle and the regular beef cattle are in good condition.

Black Fang led his pack of wolves on patrol around the livestock shed.

Su Chen assigned them new tasks.

If you spot any strangers or wild animals approaching, drive them away immediately.

"Black Edge, you'll have to work hard these next few days, and patrol at night too."

Black Fang growled, indicating that he understood.

Lingfeng hovered high in the sky, monitoring the activity within a radius of several kilometers.

Su Chen sensed the Beast King's vision through its affinity.

There was something unusual about the surrounding pastures; several cows were lying motionless on the ground.

The pandemic was more serious than he had imagined.

Anderson called at 8 p.m.

"Su Chen, 15 of my cattle have been diagnosed with COVID-19, and the town government has ordered them all to be culled."

"How's it going on your end?"

"All of them have been vaccinated and there are currently no abnormalities."

"That's good. This epidemic is quite severe, so please be very careful."

"I've suffered heavy losses here; at least thirty cattle will have to be culled."

Su Chen paused for a moment.

"Just ask if you need help."

"Thanks, let's get through this first."

After hanging up the phone, Su Chen inspected the cattle herd again.

everything is normal.

He returned to the main house and stared at the monitor screen in his study.

The twelve cameras provided clear images, showing every corner of the livestock shed, fence, entrance, and pasture.

everything is normal.

But Su Chen knew that there could be no slackening in the face of the epidemic.
