Native chicken breeders under the grape frame

At 04:30 on July 25, the reporter accompanied the staff of the Aquatic Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau of Yongfu County in Guangxi to investigate the ecological breeding of native chickens in Baiquan fragrant native chicken cooperatives in Yongfu County. Driving along the winding path, the mountain grapes are refreshing, reducing a group of people's fear of 38 ℃ outdoor heat. After getting out of the car, the fresh air and the heat wave hit together, giving people an indescribable feeling.

"you see, this whole hill is mine." Huang Xueli, the person in charge of the cooperative, pointed to the top of the hill and could not help revealing an air of magnanimity. Looking ahead, the grape trellis all over the mountain is covered with green mountain grapes. Under the grape trellis, flocks of native chickens are free to find food, enjoy themselves, and rest. There are also two turkeys mixed in the flock, and when they see the camera, they are yearning and waiting for the camera to enter the camera.

Huang Xueli began to raise chickens when he was young, and now it has been nearly 30 years. "however, the chicken farm was established in 2009, including a broiler farm and a breeder hatchery, and the surrounding mountain grapes have only been planted in the past two years." Huang Xueli said that the purpose of planting mountain grape is to digest chicken manure, form a cultivation cycle, and reduce pollution to the environment. Second, it is because of the interest. "there are more than 10,000 chickens in this chicken farm, and the organic fertilizer produced is just enough to grow grapes. The wine made from this grape is particularly delicious. Last year, an enterprise even entertained guests with the wine I made. When the guests left, they all came to me to buy. I want to take some altars home to drink."

The reporter learned that the Baiquan incense cooperative is located in the selenium-rich area of Yongfu, and the soil selenium content is very high, which also doubles the value of the cooperative's native chicken. "the free-range native chicken has a large amount of outdoor exercise and feeds on Cordyceps sinensis and gravel for a long time. The chicken meat grown is tender and has the feeling of melting in the mouth. The soup is clear but not turbid, and it is refreshing. Due to long-term stocking in selenium-rich land, the content of selenium in chicken and eggs is more than 0.3 mg per kilogram, which is a standard selenium-rich product. " When it comes to his own products, Huang Xueli talks eloquently. "this kind of native chicken weighs only 2.5 jin when it comes out of the pen, and it can sell for 25 yuan a jin on the market."

Huang Xueli, who became rich by farming, did not forget his neighbors, and he imparted his farming skills and experience unreservedly. At present, there are more than 20 farmers cooperating with cooperatives. "the breeding farm keeps 5000 hens and produces 200000 hens a year. We provide farmers with chicken seedlings, feed and technical services, and are responsible for recycling when the chickens come out. The net profit of each chicken is 5 yuan to 8 yuan."

During the conversation, the reporter found that Huang Xueli attached great importance to study and loved to study. At present, he has mastered the technology of wine making, and he is ready to continue his "further studies" in this direction. "I intend to open a small winery of my own and slowly put up a signboard." to contribute to ecological agriculture and circular animal husbandry. "
