Raising pigs put Xu Changqing on the road to becoming rich

Xu Changqing of Zhangtaisi Village, Nanzhai Town, Huixian City is a famous pig farmer in the village. With his pig raising skills, he makes his family live a good life.

Xu Changqing, 43 years old this year, has two brothers. When he was a child, because his family was poor, he stopped going to school after junior high school and went home to farm with his parents. After marriage, Xu Changqing and his wife decided to buy a few pigs to raise at home because they were dissatisfied with their life at that time, and sold them at a good price when the Spring Festival. "At that time, in addition to farming, we had to choose farming to get rid of poverty, because there was no enterprise in the whole village." Xu Changqing said.

Everything is difficult at the beginning. At the earliest, Xu Changqing and his wife bought four sows and built a pigsty in their yard. "At that time, my wife and I didn't know how to raise pigs at all. When we had nothing to do, we went to the villagers who had raised pigs to learn from them." Xu Changqing said,"The first year pig farming is not profitable, By the second year, We earned twenty or thirty thousand yuan money, Heart is particularly happy."

"Raising pigs looks simple, but it's actually very difficult." Xu Changqing said that in order to keep the pigs well, he and his wife had to get up at 6 a.m. every morning to feed the pigs and then clean up the pigsty. At noon, afternoon and evening, pigs had to be fed. In summer, because of the high temperature, he installed an exhaust fan in the pigsty, so that the heat in the pigsty could be exhausted to avoid heatstroke. In winter, he would make a charcoal stove in the pigsty to keep the temperature in the pigsty so that the pigs would not catch cold. In addition, pigs should be vaccinated regularly.

If you want to do something well, you have to be patient. Xu Changqing said that a few years ago, many villagers in the village thought that raising pigs could earn a lot of money, so more and more pigs were raised. However, I didn't expect that the market situation in those years was not good, and many villagers gave up because they lost money. Considering that he had some experience and sales channels, he decided not to give up. Later, as the market picked up, their family earned more money every year by raising pigs. At present, Xu Changqing's pig scale is also getting bigger and bigger, from the initial 4 sows to the present 20 sows and 160 fattening pigs, the pigsty has also become two large pigsty.

"Now our house has been renovated and we have bought a car. Although I am tired at ordinary times, I am very contented and happy every time I think that the life of the whole family will get better and better." Xu Changqing said so.

Speaking of what plans there are in the future, Xu Changqing said: "I plan to expand my pigsty and strive to earn more money to make the family's life better."
