The ecological prosperity of large pigeon farmers

"Without your help, the cooperative would have died long ago, let alone my current career. Recently, holding the hands of the staff of the Agricultural and Commercial Bank, Du Tengfei, chairman of the Shuangfei Breeding Professional Cooperative in Lixin County, said gratefully. When it comes to the next step, this lean man has a bamboo in his chest,"with the financial support of the agricultural commercial bank, I am ready to transfer 300 mu of land to create a circular ecological plantation integrating pigeon breeding, yellow peach planting, grape grafting and green agricultural products processing, and upgrade and transform the current planting cooperatives. "Speaking of which, his face showed a hopeful smile.

Shuangfei Cooperative was established in 2011 and is the earliest cooperative engaged in meat pigeon breeding in the whole county. Du Tengfei, the founder of the enterprise, learned meat pigeon breeding technology from Shenzhen and returned home to start a business with self-raised funds. However, due to the insufficient estimation of the capital required for entrepreneurship, the capital chain broke after 300,000 yuan was invested in the early stage. In the meat pigeon breeding prospects are unknown, their own no collateral circumstances, Du Tengfei no way to ask for loans, farms are about to close. Later, under the leadership of the town government, Lixin Agricultural and Commercial Bank connected with Shuangfei Cooperative. After detailed investigation, Du Tengfei's character was recognized and a pure credit "gold customer" loan of 200,000 yuan was granted exclusively to help the cooperative get out of its predicament. In the past two years, Lixin Agricultural and Commercial Bank has provided a total of 4.6 million yuan of credit funds for Shuangfei by providing a credit package of "farmhouse entertainment + easy loan card + quick loan pass". Help it develop from a single meat pigeon breeding into an ecological farm integrating the production of young pigeons, pigeon eggs, breeding pigeons, and organic fruit and vegetable planting.

With the help of agricultural commercial banks, the cooperative has transferred 300 mu of land, built 60000 square meters of standardized production pigeon loft, and stored more than 12000 pairs of breeding pigeons, including American white king pigeon, Danish silver king pigeon, Danish gray king pigeon and other excellent pigeon breeds. In order to enhance the core competitiveness of the cooperative and create the original brand of the enterprise, Lixin Agricultural and Commercial Bank actively contacted the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Research Institute of Anhui Province, the Academy of Animal Sciences of Anhui Agricultural University and other units to bridge the cooperative and promote the establishment of technical guidance and cooperation relationship between both parties. As the product research and development base of Anhui Agricultural University, the new meat pigeon varieties such as "Shuangfei No.1" and "Shuangfei No.2" cultivated by the cooperative have been promoted nationwide by China Meat Pigeon Association due to their high quality and high yield, which makes up for the defect that there is no independent brand of meat pigeon in Anhui Province.

At the same time of developing meat pigeon breeding, the cooperative has created an ecological circular breeding mode, planting 150 mu of modern high-yield organic peach demonstration garden, 100 mu of organic grapes and 260 mu of ecological peanuts, making full use of pigeon dung to ferment organic fertilizer at high temperature, planting and producing pollution-free organic peaches, organic grapes and green peanuts. The annual income of the enterprise is 4 million yuan and the net profit is 1.2 million yuan. In recent years, the enterprise has successively won the title of Top Ten Leading Enterprises of Meat Pigeon Industry in Anhui Province, Vice President Unit of Meat Pigeon Industry Association in Anhui Province, Breeding Demonstration Base of Meat Pigeon Industry in Anhui Province and Standardized Scale Demonstration Farm in Bozhou City, which has driven more than 1200 farmers in the whole county to become rich and become the "leading" enterprise of meat pigeon breeding in the whole county.
