Zhang Fengying: raising pigs on the road to prosperity

Pig farmers ushered in the long-awaited "year of the Golden Pig" in 2016, when pig prices skyrocketed. In the past two days, Zhang Fengying, a big pig farmer who lives in Barunhadai Village, Xuejiawan Town, is in full bloom and is taking good care of more than 100 piglets. Due to the shortage of pigs this year, all the pigs in her family have been sold out.

Zhang Fengying said that in the past two years, the business of pig farms has been getting better and better year by year, but at the beginning of the construction of pig farms, she encountered a lot of dilemmas. In 2004, when the 30-year-old was laid off, she returned to the countryside to raise pigs, and the pig farm was chosen one kilometer from the village committee. at first, she owed a lot of debt to raise pigs and encountered a sharp drop in pork prices.

"the price fell sharply at that time, but what should I do if I had invested so much money? There is no way but to advance and not to retreat. I think the rise and fall of prices is cyclical, there are times of low, there must be times of high. "

In this way, in the face of difficulties, Zhang Fengying met the difficulties and continued to fill the fence and expand the scale, with the construction area of the pig farm reaching 3500 square meters. Will not raise their own study, consult professionals, bought a large number of books and materials, but also personally observe the habits of pigs every day, while learning while practicing, after a period of exploration, finally mastered some practical experience and pig-raising knowledge. How to feed pigs, how to breed, how to give birth, how to prevent and treat pig disease and other problems are solved one by one.

After several years of hard work, Zhang Fengying's pig farm has achieved considerable economic benefits, from a debt of more than 100,000 yuan when it was built in 2004 to more than 2 million yuan in fixed assets now. in the first three months of this year alone, she earned more than 600,000 yuan.

Not only that, under the influence and drive of Zhang Fengying, a number of small and medium-sized professional households have also emerged in surrounding villages and towns. There are four pig farmers within a radius of 5 kilometers, and they have all set up pig farms with the encouragement and help of Zhang Fengying. According to farmers, Zhang Fengying often takes the initiative to provide technical guidance and services for farmers, and in conjunction with pig farmers to introduce a number of excellent foreign varieties from Beijing, using the most advanced technical equipment and management in the same industry, to expand the scale of pig farms, but also drive the surrounding villagers to achieve stable employment.

Today, Zhang Fengying is not only a famous pig farmer in Zhunqi, but also a deputy to the people's Congress of the autonomous region. Next, she wants to encourage villagers to build more pig farms to form a breeding industry, so that farmers can have a considerable income and more people can eat safe and secure pork.

"to help the poor and increase the income of farmers, industrial development is very important, which can drive villagers to become rich. After so many years of entrepreneurial experience, raising pigs has become a profession for me. As long as you love to do it and stick to it with your heart, it will certainly not be in vain. Because the more you give, the more you get in return. " Zhang Fengying said.
