Qingyang Town, Gansu Province: Liu Xiangguo's Road to get Rich by raising chickens

Although Liu Xiangguo has only a junior high school education, he has become a "native expert" of raising chickens through self-study. When he was mentioned in Shizui Village, Sancha Town, Zhenyuan County, people in the village would raise their thumbs up and say that he dared to think and work hard, and had made continuous efforts to find a way to raise chickens to get rich.

"when I was working outside, I realized that the little money I earned by working on my own could barely make ends meet, and it couldn't change the poverty of my family at all. Now that the precise poverty alleviation policy is so good, the government and friendly neighbors all support me, which strengthens my confidence to return to my hometown to start a business. " Speaking of returning to his hometown to start a business, Liu Xiangguo said with emotion.

After various investigations and studies, Liu Xiangguo took a fancy to raising chickens. In 2015, Liu raised more than 1 million yuan from the country and founded a professional cooperative for Dingle breeding in Zhenyuan County. "at the beginning, I was inexperienced, so I went to the farmers' house to learn and learn. Later, I read books by myself. While raising, I thought about it, summed up at the same time, and invited technicians to go to the chicken farm for on-site guidance. I slowly accumulated a little experience." By updating the feeding method, under the careful feeding and careful management of Liu Xiangguo, the survival rate of chicks reached more than 95%.

At present, the cooperative covers an area of 2600 square meters, with 2 breeding houses and 6 feed rooms, which is a breeding base integrating breeding and sales. Liu Xiangguo also actively participated in Zhongsheng's aquaculture industry chain and adopted the "enterprise + peasant household" business model to drive the surrounding people to develop aquaculture. At present, the cooperative has produced more than 20000 broilers, creating an output value of about 800000 yuan and solving the employment of 20 farmers.

As a young entrepreneur returning to his hometown, Liu Xiangguo not only became rich, but also did not forget to "pass it on, help, and bring it." some poor families were willing to raise chickens, but they could not buy chicken seedlings, and they had no money to buy fodder. He was always willing to help and offered to provide feed first. The chicken will be paid after it comes out. With his help, the people of more than 30 households around them have embarked on the road to becoming rich through scientific chicken farming. At the same time, he made use of his co-operatives to contact buyers and make door-to-door acquisitions, which not only solved the sales problems of the masses, but also protected the interests of the masses from being harmed.

From being ignorant of technology to being an expert at raising chickens, Liu Xiangguo, with tenacity and persistence, widened the way for raising chickens to get rich. Speaking of his plans for the next step, Liu Xiangguo said confidently: "if the conditions are ripe, I also want to expand the scale of farming, update equipment, engage in automatic farming, develop the aquaculture industry with the villagers, and take the road of common prosperity."
