Hua Jinling: the "Wealth Messenger" of Sheep Industry in Mengcheng County

At the end of 2015, there were 1560 sheep farms (households) in Mengcheng County, Anhui Province, an increase of 18.2% over the same period last year. In particular, the technology of raising sheep on a standardized scale has been generally improved. These achievements are originally due to a very important factor, the standard scale sheep raising technology promotion work carried out by Hua Jinling, a scientific and technological worker in "three districts" in Mengcheng County.

Hua Jinling, female, born in 1974, associate professor and laboratory director of the Academy of Zoology of Anhui University of Science and Technology, "three districts" science and technology service location "Mengcheng County Shuangchun Goat Farm". In 2015, she carried out 103 days of scientific and technological work in "three districts" in Mengcheng County, making outstanding contributions to the development of sheep industry in Mengcheng County.

Hua Jinling said: "although I signed up for a sheep farm, I should face the whole county. If I want to serve the signing farm well, I must know more about the sheep farm."

So based on the Shuangchun goat farm in Mengcheng County, she selected goat farms such as Shuangjian Town Hengxiang Goat breeding Cooperative, Banqiao Town Zhangyunshan Goat breeding Cooperative, Tancheng Shenlin Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., Maji Town Hongqiang Family Farm, Sanyi Town Li Zhe Family Farm and other goat farms as technical radiation points to form an omni-directional standardized scale goat breeding technology radiation network.

In order to make the technical plan more suitable for goat farms, more scientific, representative and targeted, Hua Jinling collected concentrate and coarse fodder from all radiation sites and sent them to the laboratory of the Academy of Animal Sciences of Anhui Institute of Science and Technology for laboratory analysis and identification. She fully understood the forage feed resources and nutrients in Mengcheng County, and she walked in the goat farms and households of the whole county. Understand the existing problems, analyze the potential risks, and brew the best breeding plan.

According to the firsthand data and the actual needs of standardized scale sheep raising, Hua Jinling put forward technology popularization and technical guidance programs to form a number of enterprise technical standards and popularize and apply them from the aspects of sheep farm location and construction, goat nutrition collocation and feed composition, goat stage nutrition supply, goat stage management and so on.

Taking contracted sheep farms and technical radiation sites as training bases, Hua Jinling held 11 technical training courses for local animal husbandry and veterinary stations and goat farms (households), and trained more than 1150 technicians. More than 50 technical problems were solved on the spot, and the breeding loss was reduced by more than 1.6 million yuan. It has effectively promoted the development, technical application and promotion of standardized scale sheep industry in Mengcheng County.

With the meticulous guidance and selfless help of Hua Jinling, the standardization and breeding level of sheep farms in various outlets have been significantly improved.

First, they pay attention to the selection of varieties. At present, most of them are high-quality Anhui white goats, Boer goat hybrid sheep with excellent production performance (breeding), Hu sheep suitable for house feeding, etc. The second is to pay attention to combination breeding. Pure propagation, hybridization, breeding after hybridization, fattening and so on. Third, pay attention to scientific breeding. They not only select concentrate and roughage, pay attention to diversification, nutrition balance, ration rationalization, etc., but also open up feed sources, make full use of local resources, save expenditure and increase efficiency, such as planting forage, strengthening straw silage and yellow silage. timely use of peanut seedlings, Taro vines and other raw materials, stalks, and so on. Fourth, pay attention to the prevention and control of epidemic diseases. Establishment, improvement and implementation of epidemic prevention and disinfection system, improvement of facilities and equipment, scientific treatment of diseases, etc. Fifth, pay attention to construction standards and aquaculture norms. Strengthen infrastructure construction, carry out high-bed sheep breeding, high-pressure point hygienic sheep breeding, constantly raise breeding standards, expand breeding scale, realize production standardization and so on.

At the end of 2015, more than 1200 goats were kept in the Shuangchun goat farm in Mengcheng County, with an annual fattening sheep of more than 2000, with a sales income of more than 1.5 million yuan. It basically meets the overall requirements of goat improved breed, breeding facilities, production standardization, epidemic prevention institutionalization, and harmless fecal pollution. The survival rate of goats is more than 98.5%. Several other sheep farms have also met or basically met the above standard requirements, and at the same time radiation has driven more than 520 surrounding sheep farms and households to carry out standardized scale breeding, which has achieved remarkable results.

Hua Jinling's scientific and technological work in the "three districts" has won the first sincerity from the agriculture and animal husbandry department of Mengcheng County and the heartfelt praise of the broad masses of breeders, and at the same time has promoted the rapid development of the sheep industry in Mengcheng County.
