Zhang Haihua got rich by raising chickens.

Speaking of Zhang Haihua in Quanshuigou Village, Jingouhe Town, Shawan County, many people in the village will call him "mother chicken." because he can raise chickens and has the ability to prevent and cure poultry diseases, people who have raised chickens in the village have all received his help. that's why he got the nickname "mother chicken." Zhang Haihua, 45, has been dealing with chickens for 25 years. During these 25 years, raising chickens has made him happy and disappointed, and he has been successful and depressed, but in the end, he has paved the way to become rich by raising chickens and tasted the taste of happiness.

Seek business opportunities from Saute Spicy Chicken

In the 1990s, Saute Spicy Chicken of Shawan has quietly sprung up, although it is not as famous as it is today, but at that time, many people would order Saute Spicy Chicken when they went to a restaurant. On the one hand, it was grand, and on the other hand, it was also very affordable. At that time, some guests passing through Shawan would come to the restaurant to order Saute Spicy Chicken.

Zhang Haihua's town is not far from the original National Highway 312 (now Provincial Highway S115). The national highway is getting on and going. For a while, the restaurant business in Jingouhe Town is booming, and Saute Spicy Chicken, which is loved by guests, has become the signature dish of many restaurants.

Zhang Haihua said, "at that time, I was still farming at home. In the autumn, I had to go to the town to hand in food. When I was queuing up, the people in the village gathered together and asked for a delicious meal of chicken." Later, when I was chatting with my boss, I learned that he could sell nearly 50 copies of Saute Spicy Chicken every day, and I had a plan to raise chickens in my mind. "

The courtyard in the countryside is very large, so Zhang Haihua started breeding in his own yard. Although chickens have been raised at home before, there are only one hundred and eighty chickens on the scale. In addition to eating at home, it can also be used as a sideline to subsidize the family. When the scale of raising chickens reached 1000, Zhang Haihua began to get a little overwhelmed.

Zhang Haihua said: "at that time, not many people raised chickens on a large scale. I have heard that some people made money in raising chickens, while others stumbled in raising chickens, mainly because of losses in the prevention and treatment of poultry diseases. At that time, there were not many technicians and even fewer experts in the prevention and treatment of poultry diseases. They all relied on themselves to explore and learn and accumulate experience. "

At first, Zhang Haihua got up early in the morning and stayed up late, thinking about how to raise chickens all the time. During that time, if the chicken got sick, he felt sick. Sometimes when I look at my own chicken, I secretly pray in my heart that I must not get sick.

Zhang Haihua said: "if you raise a batch of chickens, if you can earn 2000 yuan smoothly, you will not be able to compensate for more than 2000 yuan. So at that time, I always tightened a string all the time. When I met someone who knew how to do it, I asked. When I came across books on chicken raising, I would read them carefully, always worried about not doing a good job and dragging down my family."

With the accumulation of experience in raising chickens and the hard work of enduring hardships and learning, Zhang Haihua at that time not only mastered some methods of prevention and control of poultry diseases, but also mastered the habits of chickens very well, and gradually had a set of secrets for raising chickens. The chicken was raised well and on a large scale, and he soon became a famous professional chicken farmer in the nearby village team.

There are twists and turns on the way to raising chickens.

During that time, many people became rich by raising chickens, and many people joined the ranks of raising chickens one after another, and the oversupply of the chicken market also had an impact on Zhang Haihua's chicken industry. As a last resort, Zhang Haihua could only reduce the scale of raising chickens.

Zhang Haihua said: "at that time, we mainly raised laying hens and three-yellow chickens at home, and there was still some market in Xinjiang. If we export to Xinjiang, the cost is very high, the risk is also great, and people outside are not willing to buy them, and the chickens we raise cannot be sold. I can't help it."

In 1996, when chicken farming was in the doldrums, Zhang Haihua was once discouraged, and his enthusiasm for raising chickens gradually faded. At this time, a friend of the local sheep farm Mu Ming found Zhang Haihua, hoping that Zhang Haihua would go to his chicken farm to help take care of him, take care of food and housing, and give him a salary of 1000 yuan a month, which was already a good income at that time.

Zhang Haihua said, "that friend also came to me when he heard that I raised chickens well. At that time, he was very sincere and anxious, so I agreed." I stayed in the past for a period of time to find the main reason, one is not enough in the prevention and control of poultry disease, and the other is the improper handling of chicken manure, resulting in cross-infection. "

After two years in Tacheng, my friend's chicken farm is gradually on the right track. Because of many calls from his family, Zhang Haihua returned to Shawan in 1998. After that, he went to Shihezi University for an one-year study in poultry disease prevention and control. After completing his study, he went to work at the Veterinary Station in Jingouhe Town.

Zhang Haihua said, "when I was working at the Jingouhe Veterinary Station, college students majoring in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine came in every year. At that time, I thought, if I had them when I raised chickens, I would worry less and feel less tired. No matter what we do, with technical support, we will take fewer detours. "

In 2002, on the recommendation of a friend, Zhang Haihua went to work in a chicken breeding enterprise in Changji. He was mainly responsible for poultry disease prevention and control and business work. Because of his hard work and active thinking, his business has been on the rise and has been recognized by the company's leaders and colleagues. But in this stage of favorable wind and water, an accident almost killed him, thus blocking his development in the company.

"I really don't want to recall that experience," Zhang Haihua said. "many friends said it was a miracle to survive at that time, so I have to work hard and live up to my experience in the first half of my life."

Go back to your old business and do a "chicken" article.

When he was injured at home, Zhang Haihua did not lay down his major, learned about the chicken market through books, television, and the Internet, learned new ideas and methods, and constantly enriched himself. At this time, Saute Spicy Chicken in Shawan has become a business card of Shawan, a new market, and new opportunities have laid the foundation for Zhang Haihua to return to the chicken industry.

In 2010, with the help of family and friends and the support of the town government, Zhang Haihua became the chairman of Shuangying breeding Cooperative in Jingouhe Town. This time, he competed with the chicken again.

Zhang Haihua said: "I am now in my 40s. If I want to do other things, I have to start all over again. I have to pay tuition fees again. A hundred skilled students are not as good as professional professionals. If I am best at raising chickens in my life, raising chickens is like keeping everything safe."

During that time, all kinds of co-operatives in Shawan sprang up like bamboo shoots after a spring rain, but Zhang Haihua's farming co-operative was not easy to build. The location of his farm is relatively partial, at the beginning, there is no water and electricity, the construction is difficult, he thought of his own way to solve the problem of water and electricity, and built a chicken farm. As soon as the operation was short of funds, he went to relatives, begged friends, and coordinated the funds. Due to the lack of manpower in operation and management, he found an old partner to hire new people, and finally put the chicken farm on the right track.

Zhang Haihua said: "it is always difficult to do something at the beginning. The more such a time, the more you have to hold on. As long as you recognize it correctly and stick to it, you will be able to get through that hurdle and you will be rewarded."

After careful care by Zhang Haihua, the cooperative also had the capacity to raise 50,000 chickens, introduced a set of fully automated management equipment, and some catering enterprises also had business dealings with him.

Zhang Haihua said: "now, the market of our cooperative has been opened, and our chicken farm has become the main raw material base for Saute Spicy Chicken of the Shawan 'Baowei Yuan' brand. Of course, we will also seize the opportunity of developing Saute Spicy Chicken culture in Shawan County and supply genuine Saute Spicy Chicken raw materials to our customers. "

For future development, Zhang Haihua said: "We must seize the market in breeding, update varieties according to market demand, do a good job in the supply of raw materials, and develop special poultry breeding." Judging from the current situation, green, organic, and health are the main themes of the catering industry. Saute Spicy Chicken's native chicken is more popular with the public. I think raising native chicken is the trend of the chicken industry in the future. "
