Black pigs raised in deep mountains are sold in Beijing.

Go back to hometown to raise pigs

Song Yongtang, a 35-year-old native of Jinzhai, Anhui Province, went out to work after failing in the college entrance examination in 1997. He came to Beijing, the capital, and obtained a college degree in computer science by self-study. He became the sales director of an electrical appliance company from a wage earner. Later, he set up a computer training school in Beijing, with an annual income of nearly one million yuan. Song Yongtang said that when he returned to his hometown to visit his relatives one year, he found an interesting phenomenon. Even in Jinzhai County, which is located in the hinterland of the Dabie Mountains, it is very difficult for people to eat authentic black-haired pork in restaurants. Then he did some market research and found that most young adults go out to work, and the old people in the family usually raise only one black pig a year, which is only enough for their own food for the Spring Festival. Even the usual consumption of pork in villages and towns in mountainous areas is pork prepared from other places.

Song Yongtang, who grew up in the mountains from an early age, felt that the unique black-haired pigs in the mountains of western Anhui had a long cycle and did not eat delicious fodder, and if they could be raised in bulk, they would certainly not worry about the market, so in 2007, he gave up the high salary in the capital and returned to Gubei Town, Jinzhai County, where he returned to his hometown. "if you don't raise it, you have to be different. I want to raise an ecological black-haired pig." "Song Yongtang said.

Black-haired pigs drink spring water and sleep in a "hotbed"

In 2008, Song Yongtang raised 2 million yuan to build more than 20 mu ecological pig farms in Sima Village, Gubei Town, Jinzhai County, including four standardized pig houses. Walk into the pigsty, basically can not smell the smell, feet soft, also can not see pig dung, feel very surprised.

Song Yongtang said with a smile that this is his ecological method of raising pigs. He uses bran, sawdust and other beneficial bacteria as raw materials to fill the floor of the pig house with a thickness of about 1.5 meters, forming a unique "hotbed." after defecating and defecating, he kept using his mouth to arch out of nature. turn the feces into the hotbed for natural fermentation and decomposition. Pigs enjoy sleeping on soft and comfortable "beds" and rarely get sick. During the period of time after the pig was born, except for a small amount of food, he basically ate wild vegetables collected from the mountains and drank mountain spring water.

What is even more amazing is still behind. After raising the piglets to 40 kilograms in the pigsty, all the piglets are released on the mountain. In the mountains dozens of kilometers away from the town of Gubei, you can see these scattered black pigs in twos and threes, playing, foraging, and leisurely. Towards evening, Song Yongtang and the breeder stood at the foot of the mountain, blew a few whistles, and saw the hills crowded with pigs. All of a sudden, the pigs rushed out from the grass edge and the woods and followed the whistles all the way down the mountain.

20 stores will be opened in the capital.

"good pork should also be sold at a good price. We are going to open 20 stores in Beijing. Because the taste and quality of black-haired pigs are very good, Beijing Shounong Group has cooperated with Song Yongtang for a long time to sell more than 6000 black-haired pigs every year. With the increase in the number of black-haired pigs, Song Yongtang is also exploring a new sales model. Song Yongtang opened the first black-haired pork store near Huilongguan District, Changping District, Beijing, covering more than 100 square meters. "unexpectedly, business is booming, and three or four black-haired pigs are sold every day, with an average price of 186 yuan per kilogram. "

In order to ensure that Beijing citizens can eat fresh pork, Song Yongtang cooperated with Beijing Fifth Meat Union Factory to transport live pigs from Jinzhai to Beijing every week, which was slaughtered and sold on the same day, which was well received by the public. Then, Song Yongtang opened five stores in Dongcheng District, Xicheng District, Haidian District, Chaoyang District and other places in Beijing. He told me that he expected to open 20 stores this year. "now I need to earn about 4000 yuan for a black-haired pig and 1500 yuan for the cost. "

In order to promote the development of the villagers, Song Yongtang established the Xinnong Pig raising Professional Cooperative in Jinzhai County. Up to now, 378 peasant households have joined the cooperative, with each household increasing their income from as little as 7,000 to 80,000 yuan to as much as 50,000 to 60,000 yuan.
