The benefit of interplanting litchi woodland with cattle is good.

Recently, the author saw a lot of cattle interplanting in the green litchi woodland on a mountain in Liuming Village, Dacheng Town, Pubei County. At present, although it is a cold winter, the cattle in this litchi woodland are strong, some are luxuriant, some are full of pods.

Liu Jiquan, the owner of the mountain, told me that he leased more than 40 mu of the mountain in 2012. With the support of the "two committees" of the village, he first planted litchi, and then planted cattle on the ground separated by litchi. Last year, litchi and Niu Li both had a bumper harvest and had a better annual income. According to Liu Jiquan, Niu Dili likes light, endure shade and has strong adaptability. Pubei, as its distribution area, is very suitable for the growth of Niu Da. The mountain topography of Liuming Village has excellent conditions for the development of cattle. According to conservative estimates, he interplanted cattle vigorously among litchi woodlands. According to conservative estimates, he interplanted 160plants of cattle per mu to bear pods. The market price of one kilogram of pods can be sold for more than 2000 yuan. Cattle at the age of 5 have a yield of 4kg per plant, 640kg per mu, and the output value per mu can reach 38400 yuan. However, the input per mu is only more than 5000 yuan. As a new economic exploration of cattle interplanting litchi woodland, it has become another innovative model for local farmers to develop the economy under the forest, and it has also become a new way for Dacheng farmers to increase their income and become rich. Asked about the future development, Liu Jiquan smiled and said to the author that after the Spring Festival, he will cooperate with the villagers to lease more mountains, expand the scale of cattle vigorously interplanting litchi woodland, and increase more economic income. Liu Youchao, director of the village committee, said that the "two committees" of the village continue to guide farmers to develop the planting and breeding industry, especially the new economic model of cattle vigorously interplanting litchi woodland, so that farmers can increase their income and become rich.
