Shizhu Longhair Rabbit is a geographical indication certification trademark.

Since rural reform, especially since the establishment of an autonomous county in 1984, Shizhu has made scientific decisions based on county conditions, adjusted the rural industrial structure, and developed grain-saving animal husbandry with long-haired rabbits as the main body. After more than 20 years , long-haired rabbits started from scratch, from sporadic breeding to large-scale production, from few to many, from intensive management to industrialization, the rabbit industry emerged in Shizhu Tujia Village. In 2004, there were 2.412 million long-haired rabbits in captivity, which has remained at more than 2 million for 13 consecutive years. 80% of villages and towns raise rabbits. 14 demonstration towns, 20 demonstration villages, and 3 science and technology demonstration parks have been established; 100 rabbits have been developed. There are 3,900 above-scale households and 300 science and technology demonstration households; 68,900 rabbit farmers, accounting for more than 60% of the county's total farmers; the output of rabbit fur is 1,200 tons, and farmers' annual cash income from rabbit raising is more than 170 million yuan. In recent years, the annual average The income from rabbit raising is more than 80 million yuan, and the annual fiscal revenue is 1.5 million yuan, with the peak year being 3.92 million yuan. It has made great contributions to helping farmers get rid of poverty, become rich and become well-off.

The development of the rabbit industry has led to the rise and development of related industries such as feed processing, transportation, and catering services. There are more than 1,000 industrial and commercial households engaged in rabbit fur marketing in the county, showing an industry The good situation of prosperous and prosperous industries has opened up new ways for the transfer of rural labor force and the re-employment of laid-off urban workers. The long-haired rabbit has become a characteristic economy and is unique in the agricultural economy of our county. It is the county with the largest breeding volume at the county level in the country and enjoys the reputation of the hometown of long-haired rabbits in the world. The Shizhu wool rabbit industry has gone through a tortuous development process, withstood the test of the market, and continued to grow and develop. Its successful experience is summarized as follows: 1. Scientific decision-making, strengthening leadership and creating a good atmosphere. Shizhu was struggling on the poverty line more than 20 years ago, and the county The poor are poor. The rural economy needs to be revitalized, and the county party committee is searching deeply. Where is the way out? After in-depth investigation and careful analysis, the conclusion is that it is impossible to achieve take-off by relying solely on the planting industry. On the basis of scientific demonstration, combined with the advantages of our county's large grassland area, abundant grass resources and the reality of economic shortage, a special economic project was developed to develop long-haired rabbits that saves money and improves macroeconomics, as the entry point for the adjustment of the county's rural industrial structure and breakthroughs, the rabbit industry will be listed as the highlight of rural construction. The parties and governments at all levels attach great importance to it, form political awareness, use various tools to promote it widely, create a good social atmosphere, and lay an ideological foundation for the development of rabbit farmers. Counties and towns have established leading groups for the production and development of long-haired rabbits. , all departments cooperate closely and cooperate with all-round support, one term after another, work unremittingly, clarify responsibilities, and work together to maintain the stability and continuity of policies and ensure the healthy development of the rabbit industry.

2. Formulate support policies, be profit-driven, and encourage the development of cadres and masses. Although the county has insufficient financial resources and funds, in order to ensure its development, a series of preferential support development policies have been formulated to use limited funds wisely. , exert the best effect. The first is preferential support. In the early stage of development, households raising more than 30 rabbits will receive a feed subsidy of 0.12 yuan per kilogram and a subsidy of 1.5 yuan per rabbit. Large households with more than 100 animals have been given priority in approving land for building enclosures, timber for enclosures, rabbits, grass seeds, etc. at favorable prices. Second, the banking and trust departments issued special loans and invested more than 10 million yuan in low-interest or subsidized poverty alleviation loans to support the development of extremely poor towns and farmers. The third is to set a protective price to collect wool. When prices were weak, the county promptly formulated a protective price and levied a special product tax on rabbits, thus safeguarding the interests of rabbit farmers. The fourth is unified epidemic prevention. Before 1993, the county fiscal year allocated an average of 250,000 yuan for the prevention of diseases such as rabbit plague. Now vaccines and other fees are charged at cost. The fifth is to establish mechanisms to encourage and offer prizes to solve key problems. The county holds a summary and commendation meeting at the end of every year, and the finance department allocates 50,000 to 200,000 yuan to reward advanced units, individuals, top rabbit raising households, and technology households. Strong policies and measures, This ensures the longevity of the long-haired rabbit industry.

3. Strengthen the construction of the service system, implement science and technology to develop rabbits, and improve the efficiency of rabbit breeding. The production of long-haired rabbits is a systematic bioengineering and is extremely comprehensive. In order to achieve effective results, we implemented science and technology to promote rabbits, strengthened pre-production, mid-production, and post-production technical services, and achieved improved varieties, standardized housing, scientific management, compounded feed, and institutionalized epidemic prevention. First, we have paid close attention to the construction of a breeding system for improved varieties. More than 150,000 domestic and foreign breeding rabbits have been introduced successively, enriching the variety resources. One municipal-level long-haired rabbit breeding farm and five county-level second-level long-haired rabbit breeding farms have been built to strengthen pure breeding and promotion and improve the rabbit quality. Group quality. 303 good breeding households were established to expand good genes and strengthen the purification and rejuvenation work, with about 80% improvement.

The second is to popularize practical techniques for raising rabbits. He presided over the organization and implementation of Shizhu's project "Development and Application of Supporting Technologies for Long-haired Rabbit Production", the promotion of artificial insemination technology for rabbits, the development and application of grass-raising rabbits and rabbit pellets. Won the second prize of the original Sichuan Provincial Science and Technology Achievements Award. We have focused on technical training, systematically trained rabbit farmers, grassroots cadres, and animal husbandry and veterinary personnel in scientific rabbit raising techniques, and strengthened technical guidance. More than 200,000 people have been trained, and nearly 300,000 technical materials have been issued to improve guidance and Comprehensive level of raising long-haired rabbits. Technical personnel are sent to study abroad and in colleges and universities, and foreign rabbit breeding experts, college professors, and scholars are invited to our county to give lectures and improve technology, achieving the purpose of technical exchange and improvement. The third is to strengthen epidemic prevention and control work. Disease prevention and control is the key to the success of rabbit breeding. The county has established a disease prevention and control network system with the rural station as the core, and adheres to the epidemic prevention system twice every year in spring and autumn. The construction of standard housing was promoted, regular disinfection and deworming, regular cleaning and hygiene were carried out, which effectively controlled the occurrence and prevalence of rabbit diseases and reduced the morbidity and mortality. The fourth is to strengthen the construction of forage and feed system. He took up the work of growing grass and raising rabbits, promoted artificial grass planting in agricultural areas, and established a family grass garden of 50,000 acres. The binary structure of grain and economy was changed to the ternary structure of grain, economy and feed, which solved the problem of insufficient green forage for rabbits; the development of rabbit compound feed and pellet feed was vigorously developed, and industrial feed was vigorously developed. Eight feed factories were built in the county , to meet the needs of rabbit farmers and lay a solid material foundation for improved rabbit breeding methods.

4. Cultivate leading enterprises, expand sales channels, and promote the industrialization process. Products without markets and sales have no vitality. Our county regards the integrated construction of production, supply and marketing as the key to deepening the enrichment of the people and promoting industrial development in depth. It has always attached great importance to and strengthened circulation, liberalized operations, actively attracted investment, established leading enterprises, and promoted the industrialization process. First, the monopoly management system has been broken, and cooperative management among the state, collectives and individuals has been promoted, and the market has been activated. The second is to strengthen market construction and expand export sales. The county has invested more than 4 million yuan to build 13 professional rabbit fur markets to provide high-quality services to merchants and implement low taxes and fees. The fourth is to strengthen the quality control of rabbit fur, severely crack down on adulteration and illegal activities, and establish a good image of rabbit fur. The fifth is to cultivate leading enterprises, strive for World Bank loan investment, and build a rabbit hair textile enterprise with the world's advanced equipment in the 1990s, which will play a greater role in adding value and efficiency to the rabbit industry. In recent years, efforts have been made to attract investment. Through efforts, Shandong has successfully introduced this year Ruyi Group's rabbit fur processing enterprise has strong strength, strong development technology and various product colors. It will undoubtedly play a key role in pushing the industrialization construction to a new climax and reaching a new level.
