"Pigeon King" breeds meat pigeons on the road to prosperity.

Every holiday, the consumer market will be particularly hot. For Wang Lin, a farmer in Fanhe Town, his meat pigeons are in short supply every day, no matter what holidays. More than a decade ago, Wang Lin, who raised pigeons in his hometown in Hebei Province, saw the characteristics of few pigeon farmers and large market demand in Northeast China, and the whole family "immigrants" came to Fanhe Town to settle down and start his pigeon raising business. With the expansion of the scale of raising pigeons, Wang Lin established a professional cooperative for raising meat pigeons in Tieling Beidou, raising meat pigeons on a large scale, managing pigeon houses scientifically, and selling pigeon by-products on the network, so as to learn from pigeons and become the famous "King of Pigeons" in Fanhe Town.

Pigeons are not worried about selling diners all over the country and buying them.

Walking into Wang Lin's pigeon house, more than 3000 pairs of high-quality breeding pigeons are fat and plump, murmuring and singing, which is gratifying. Wang Lin told reporters that the meat pigeon breeding market is in great demand, from pigeon eggs and squab to mature pigeons, which are loved by different diners in different regions. "Southerners have a great demand for pigeon eggs and squab. Northerners like to eat barbecued pigeons, so my customer, ah, has spread all over the country." Wang Lin, with a stack of express orders, told reporters. Today, more than 6,000 meat pigeons raised by Wang Lin have also been booked. Even so, he still receives calls from many customers every day to order meat pigeons. Wang Lin said that when he raised as many as 20,000 pigeons, the pigeon houses were not enough. In the early spring of this year, he will introduce some new species of meat pigeons, continue to expand the scale of breeding, and constantly improve the quality of meat pigeons.

At the time of the reporter's interview, Zhao Guangshan, the owner of a barbecue restaurant near the Repulse Bay community in Fanhe New District, came to Wang Lin's pigeon house to catch pigeons. Zhao Guangshan said, "my family's barbecue restaurant has been open for more than two years, and we have been using Brother Wang's meat pigeons as raw materials for the past two years. The pigeons in his house have a lot of meat, and the guests all report that they taste good, so they specially come to my house to look for this bite. I come here every three or two days, and I have to catch thirty or fifty pigeons every time, which is not enough to sell. "

Innovate the equipment of raising pigeons and broaden the sales channels

Wang Lin is a person who loves to study. From raising pigeons on a small scale to raising pigeons on a large scale, Wang Lin has been groping and learning for a long time. Now, three large pigeon houses have been built in Wang Lin's farm. What surprised the reporter was that the pigeon house of more than 2000 square meters actually employed only three workers. Wang Lin said that it is enough to have three people to help him raise pigeons, including regular mechanical feeding, automatic water feeding, mechanical cleaning and automatic ventilation of constant temperature boilers, and his pigeon house has almost achieved automatic breeding. His own tools for raising pigeons, such as wash-free drinking fountains, hand-operated manure cleaners and electric manure cleaners, helped him save a lot of human resources, and the manure cleaner alone helped Wang Lin's breeding. "in the past, pigeon dung had to be cleared by a pigeon cage, and the board to pick up the dung was taken out and shoveled with a shovel, which was very tedious and time-consuming and manpower-consuming. Now with a manure cleaner and a dung board conveyor belt, using the principles of scraper and conveyor, one person can complete the work of ten people. And the manure scraping machine has no residue, and one machine can be used for the whole pigeon farm. " Wang Lin said.

Since the establishment of a professional cooperative for meat pigeon farming, Wang Lin has his own website and Taobao shop, which sells not only meat pigeons and pigeon eggs, but also pigeon raising appliances invented by Wang Lin, which brings Wang Lin a large profit. Wang Lin's daughter, who is studying at Wang Lin University, has become the manager and maintainer of websites and online shops. she also returned to the pigeon farm to help her father with some work during the holidays. "the Internet has opened up a new world for my meat pigeon sales, and I also intend to make good use of the Internet to try to register my trademark and packaging as soon as possible," Wang said. "
