Ecological Breeding Industry
To develop the animal husbandry industry in Youhui Town, we adhere to the policy of "scientific development, large-scale breeding, reasonable guidance, and policy support", encourage the vigorous development of private enterprises such as pig breeding, and broaden the scope of Ways to get rich. The four-pronged scientific and ecological livestock breeding method of "good seeds, good methods, good materials, and good houses" is a new way to solve the contradiction between the development of livestock production and the construction of a clean and tidy new countryside. It has won the support of the majority of farmers in the town. Recognized and promoted, the large-scale ecological breeding farm in Shuitian Village and the Wangjiaba "999" Shunfeng Ecological Breeding Farm, which is under construction, are examples of the first to adopt new technologies for pig raising.
The new technology of zero-emission pig raising in bio-fermentation houses is to lay organic bedding with a thickness of about 60-80 cm in the pig house, which consists of sawdust, chaff and fermentation enzymes, and the pigs are raised on it , the feces and urine excreted by pigs are completely fermented and decomposed by microorganisms to achieve odorless and zero emissions, achieving the purpose of environmentally friendly and pollution-free pig farming. The breeding room, fattening room, nursery room and farrowing room are completely separated. The pens are disinfected every 3 days and large-scale comprehensive disinfection is carried out every 15 days. All personnel entering the breeding place must undergo strict disinfection 3 times to avoid viruses. transmission and mutual infection. This technology has been tested and demonstrated, recognized by authoritative experts, and accepted by new breeders.
Youhui Town is a large agricultural and breeding town. In the past, the livestock industry was mainly free-range, which could not achieve large-scale and scientific development. The cost of breeding was high and the resistance to risks was poor. In order to change this relatively backward situation, The town vigorously promotes new technologies in pig breeding, poultry breeding, etc., fully promotes science, and gradually achieves scale.
According to the person in charge of the large-scale ecological breeding farm in Shuitian Village, the farm has a total investment of 2.2 million yuan. It has built a farrowing room of about 3,000 square meters and has more than 40 excellent breeding pigs and sows such as York, Landrace, and Changdao. It plans to expand again in 2008. The company introduced 20 high-quality breeding pigs and about 200 sows. Through self-breeding and self-raising, the number of pigs reached more than 2,000 in 2009, more than 4,000 were slaughtered annually, and more than 200 piglets were sold. In that year, the sales revenue was more than 7.5 million yuan, and the net profit was more than 2.3 million yuan. . After it is fully completed, it will occupy an area of ??more than 20 acres, with more than 2,000 pigs on hand and more than 10,000 pigs for slaughter, and an annual net profit of more than 5 million yuan. When the time is right, a professional pig breeding cooperative will be established to help farmers develop pig breeding using a "company + farmer" approach, integrating piglet cultivation, pig breeding, pig sales, technical training, exploration and research, and eco-tourism to increase farmers' income and eco-tourism. It will play a positive role in solving local employment problems for farmers.
