Zhuo Dingru: raise chickens to get rich ecologically

"in the farm, native chickens constantly chase each other and fly up and down, and the sound of" goo-goo "sounds like a sound." On December 4, the reporter saw the scene of such a native chicken farm in Zhangjiawan, Zimuxi Village, Liyuan Town, Sangzhi County.

"now the people in the city are rich, and they pay attention to natural green food. The native chicken of the 'original ecological forest villa' that I raise is real, and there is basically no shortage of sales. I want to further expand the scale of breeding and make the industry bigger and stronger." Zhuo Dingru, the farm owner who is over 60 years old, introduced to the reporter happily while mixing the chicken.

Why did you embark on the road of raising native chickens? Zhuo Dingru said that after emigrating from Liuyangxi Village, Zhuyeping to Zimuxi Village, Liyuan Town in 1997, he went shopping with his wife one day. Good at observation and discovery, he found that some of the so-called native chickens in the market were raised on a large scale. It is simply incomparable to the kind of authentic native chicken in the countryside. This made him feel that the prospect of raising native chickens would be good, so he decided to raise native chickens to shake off poverty and become rich.

Just do it. Zhuo Ding, such as husband and wife, took out their savings from working for many years, installed a protective net to prevent chickens from escaping, bought 300 chicken seedlings, built unique "native chicken villas" in the mountains, and began the original "forest villa chicken" breeding.

In order to raise chickens successfully, Zhuo Ding, such as getting up early in the morning and working late at night, devoted himself to the farm, consulted and studied from books without technology, groped while doing without experience, and constantly sought advice from professional and technical personnel. In the net shed, he carefully observed the spirit, food intake, drinking water and feces of the chickens every day, listened carefully to the songs, observed the growth of the chickens in detail, and soon mastered the technology of raising chickens.

"apart from feeding corn and green vegetables, the chicks look for food on their own in the mountains, and they are absolutely natural native chickens." Zhuo Dingru said that the native chickens he raises do not feed any feed or additives, but only feed traditional feeds such as corn, rice, and vegetable leaves, and sometimes add Chinese herbal medicine such as honeysuckle and Coptis chinensis, which is not only 'green ecology', but also has strong disease resistance and delicious meat. To save money, he controlled the scale and leased land to grow corn and vegetables. Last year, he raised 600 chickens and earned a net income of more than 20,000 yuan excluding costs.

"our chickens here enjoy 'star treatment,'" says Zhuo Dingru. Every morning at dawn, he opens the door of the enclosure on time, allowing the chickens to forage freely in the deep forest, and when they are hungry, they eat grass leaves and worms in the mountain forest. When they are thirsty, they drink the fresh spring water in the mountain, and go back to the villa to rest and live at night. The ecological environment is environmentally friendly and completely pollution-free.

"next, I intend to expand the scale of farming and set up professional cooperatives or family farms for raising chickens, so that other ordinary people can also participate in native chicken farming, so that neighbors in the village can raise chickens together, so that we can become rich together and successfully become a 'chicken commander'." When it comes to plans for the future, you are confident.
