"Rabbit King" in Mantis Village, Dashan Town, Panxian County, Guizhou Province

"Rabbit King" Tang Hong feeds rabbits in Mantis Village, Dashan Town, Panxian County, Guizhou Province (photo on May 21).

In the iron cage, there is a "bird's nest" made of straw and fluff. Curled up in the "bird's nest" and wriggling from time to time, there are twelve or three pups who have not yet grown hair. There are many such "bird nests" in the rabbit house of Tang Hong, a villager in Mantis Village, Dashan Town, Panxian County, Guizhou Province.

Tang Hong is called the "Rabbit King" by the villagers.

"idleness, poverty and poverty." Two years ago, the villagers still commented on Tang Hong. At that time, Tang Hong rode around on a rusty motorcycle all day.

Tang Hong is always "watching" in the Sanqi base planted by others and going to the countryside to watch other people collect chickens and buy eggs. In fact, he is looking for business opportunities. Because of "just looking at it," Tang Hong was misread by the villagers for a long time. "the cost of growing Panax notoginseng is high, and I have no money. The cost of raising chickens and ducks is small, but they earn less."

Once Tang Hong came to Pu'an County, Guizhou Province to visit relatives. The relatives' family had been raising rabbits for a year. "I found that raising rabbits is amazing. Rabbits breed quickly. Two rabbits give birth, and they can produce hundreds of rabbit descendants a year."

Even if "meat rabbits are sold as pork", calculated on the basis of 10 jin and 15 yuan per jin, they can get 60,000 yuan a year. Tang Hong has set her sights on the development project and can't help it. However, the upfront investment of tens of thousands of yuan in raising rabbits is a huge sum of money for Tang Hong, and the relevant technology has not been mastered, so she is so anxious that she "grows white hair."

After understanding Tang Hong's mind, cadres in Dashan Town took Tang Hong to participate in the training of "Party Building to help Intelligence" to start a business and get rid of poverty, and received 50,000 yuan in entrepreneurial loans. As a result, Tang Hong was able to go out to learn the skills of raising rabbits.

At the end of 2014, Tang Hong built a row of simple rabbit houses with waste bricks with a total of more than 500 cages, each of which could keep several rabbits. Then he bought a male rabbit and a female rabbit for 300 yuan, and the female rabbit gave birth to 12 pups 30 days later.

"in only three months, the son of a bitch will be old enough to breed. In order to facilitate management, rabbit breeding is arranged in one day, and all pregnant rabbits are produced 30 days later. " Tang Hong said that he has a total of more than 200 female rabbits and hundreds of female rabbits under the "backup", and a group of pups are born together every few months.

Tang Hong pointed to the "bird's nest" and told the reporter that all the newborn rabbit cubs should be put in it. Now there are more than 100 "bird nests" and a total of more than 1000 rabbits in the rabbit house. "every morning, they are all sent to the mother rabbit's cage to feed them, and then they are full in five minutes, and then they are returned to the 'bird's nest'."

"when the temperature in the nest is between 30 degrees Celsius and 40 degrees Celsius, the survival rate of the pups is high, and they do not need to wear air-conditioning...." Tang Hong went on and on about raising rabbits.

The rabbit's ability to reproduce was beyond Tang Hong's expectation. In more than a year, he built four or five rows of rabbit houses.

In order to save costs, Tang Hong also bought a granulator to make her own rabbit material, which can save 1,000 yuan per ton. After the rabbits grow up, some rabbit vendors come to the village to collect rabbits, some from the province, and more from Guangdong, Guangxi and Sichuan.

"in less than two years, he has produced more than 2000 columns and has made more than 300,000 yuan. Not counting the bastards, the breeding rabbits and meat rabbits in the rabbit house are still worth more than 100,000 yuan. " Tang Hong grinned.

"at first, I was worried that I would not be able to sell, but then I found that supply exceeded demand, how much I collected, and sometimes I had to contact other farmers when it was not enough." Tang Hong's wife Zhao Lihua said.

Under the leadership of Tang Hong, more than 40 precise poverty alleviation farmers in Mantis Village have raised rabbits, and six of them have invested tens of thousands of yuan to build rabbit houses, preparing to develop into large farmers with an annual output of 2,000 to 3,000 meat rabbits. "this is a good way to achieve quick results with less investment, and the town has issued policies to encourage farmers to take this road to shake off poverty and become rich." Shen Xiang, a cadre in Dashan town, said.
