African guinea fowl "peck" to open the door to prosperity

In recent years, more and more young people choose to start their own business. They are active and receptive to new things. In Langao County, such a young man who dared to eat crabs opened up a new way to get rich by raising guinea fowl.

A reporter from Yueba Village, Siji Town, Langao County, met Li Mingyong and was feeding his "precious guinea fowl." Guinea fowl, also known as guinea fowl, is native to Africa. It has gray feathers and regular round white spots, shaped like pearls. Because the meat is delicious and nutritious, it is loved by food lovers. By chance, Li Mingyong, a migrant worker, gave birth to the idea of raising guinea fowl. Li Mingyong, a villager from Yueba Village, Siji Town, said: "in 2013, I saw that guinea fowl was sold in Shanghai. I think it was good for him to pull a cart. He sold out 10,000 or 20,000 in two or three days, and then his price was OK, 70 to 80 yuan per jin. So I see that this is a hot, good sales."

With entrepreneurial ideas, Li Mingyong was in no hurry for success. He successively consulted, studied technology, and inspected the local market in large-scale manufacturers such as Shanghai and Guangxi. After determining that raising guinea fowl was a very promising project, he began to build the factory with the support of his family. Li Mingyong: "I came back after studying." After placing an order of 20,000 yuan with them, I went to Shanghai to resign. I resigned in March 2015 and built the factory in May. "

In May last year, Li Mingyong invested 170000 yuan to buy three mu of land in Yueba Village, Siji Town, built a chicken farm, and introduced 2000 African guinea fowls from Guangxi to raise them.

Guinea fowl is a special grain-saving bird with both food and forage, which has the characteristics of fast growth, wide diet, disease resistance, strong adaptability and so on. In the process of raising, Li Mingyong groped out a set of ecological breeding methods, which made the nutritional value of chickens higher. Li Mingyong: "it is different from other people's breeding method, because the investment of ecological cultivation is more than that of captivity." the ecological cultivation method is to eat wild vegetables and weeds on the hillside, without any feed. "

Through Li Mingyong's meticulous breeding, the first batch of more than 2000 guinea fowl has reached the release date, mainly for hotels and farmhouse music, the price and sales are good, customer feedback is very good. This also gave him the idea of expanding farming. Li Mingyong: "there are about 70 mu of land from this mountain to the other side of the road, with an investment of about 1 million. I intend to expand the factory, the factory shed, the factory building, and the incubator, open the Langao market to gain a foothold, open the Ankang market, and sell chickens abroad as far as possible."
