Build animal husbandry into a pillar industry in rural areas

In recent years, animal husbandry in Ezhou City, Hubei Province has developed rapidly. 1.2014 million pigs and 18.841 million caged poultry were produced in 2014, the total output of meat and eggs reached 126700 tons and 109000 tons respectively, and the output value of animal husbandry reached 3.51 billion yuan. Animal husbandry has become the most dynamic and fastest-growing rural pillar industry in Ezhou City. In the new historical period, we must, in accordance with General Secretary Xi's "five new" requirements, plan scientifically, overcome difficulties, actively explore ways of industrial development suitable for this region, and promote the sustained, healthy and rapid development of agriculture and rural economy.

First, carry out scientific and technological innovation and tap new potential in improving production capacity. One is to cultivate excellent pig breeds with independent intellectual property rights. In the next few years, Ezhou should increase its technical cooperation with the School of Animation and Medical College of Huazhong Agricultural University, and rely on Dafeng Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd. to actively carry out a new round of breeding of Hubei White Pig, strive to reach or exceed the world leading level in pig adaptability, reproduction rate, feed reward, meat quality and other indicators, and gradually form a pig industry system dominated by Hubei White Pig. The second is to build a high-standard academician expert workstation of Hubei Xingde Agricultural Cooperative to inject vitality into the development of the industry. The third is to speed up the research and development of livestock and poultry feeding and management technology with local characteristics. It is necessary to organize experts and professors in relevant fields to set up technical teams to formulate technical regulations for the feeding and management of local livestock and poultry breeds and the prevention and control of epidemic diseases in a timely manner. focus on environmental control, feed nutrition, breed breeding, epidemic prevention and control and other aspects to establish a set of operating standards, timely promotion and application.

Second, develop ecological animal husbandry and open up new ways to optimize the industrial structure. First, actively carry out fecal pollution control. It is necessary to establish a long-term mechanism for dung pollution control, and in accordance with the principle of "fixing livestock (poultry) on the basis of land, combining planting and breeding, local consumption, and scientific return to the field", we should develop livestock and poultry farms and focus on cultivating family pastures with a combination of cultivation and breeding. make family pastures become the main economic growth point of animal husbandry. The second is to vigorously develop herbivorous animal husbandry. We will improve the construction of a good breeding system for cattle and sheep, actively support large herbivorous livestock and poultry farmers, and make the proportion of herbivorous livestock and poultry in animal husbandry more than 15%. Third, boldly explore the development model of the combination of forestry and animal husbandry. Relying on modern science and technology, we should give full play to the advantages of rich mountain and forest resources, and vigorously promote forest-animal husbandry combination models such as "forest-grass-chicken" and "forest-grass-livestock".

Third, strengthen the construction of facilities and seek new breakthroughs in changing the mode of development. The first is to improve the understanding of facility animal husbandry in livestock and poultry farms. Increase the publicity of facility animal husbandry and create an atmosphere for the construction of facility animal husbandry. The second is to speed up the transformation and upgrading of traditional livestock and poultry farms. We will strengthen the transformation of existing livestock and poultry farms, increase the allocation of equipment and facilities such as environmental control system, automatic feeding system and manure treatment system, and close farms with poor environment, high energy consumption and heavy pollution within a time limit. The third is to build a number of modern livestock and poultry farms with high standards and fundamentally change the mode of development of animal husbandry.

Fourth, optimize the training methods and make new achievements in increasing farmers' income. The first is to implement the system of holding a certificate to work. Train all animal husbandry operators and employees and issue employment certificates. The second is to carry out stage-by-stage training, and to carry out special training in the form of sow breeders, pig caregivers, brooding breeders and animal epidemic prevention workers for different positions, so as to change the work of raising livestock and poultry from "rough" to "fine". The third is to promote barrier-free breeding, minimize the "employment threshold" of livestock and poultry breeding, and change social employees from "afraid of raising" to "daring to raise".

Fifth, speed up the construction of residential areas and take new steps in the construction of rural communities. First, scientific planning. To ensure that the development of animal husbandry is matched with community construction and coordinated with environmental protection to prevent the occurrence of low-level construction. The second is to promote "four cascades of innovation". According to the requirements of the "five modernizations" (improved breed, breeding facilities, institutionalization of epidemic prevention, standardization of management, and harmless treatment of faeces), a demonstration farm of livestock and poultry standardization at the "four levels" (ministerial, provincial, municipal and district level) has been established throughout the city. The third is to increase investment in projects.
