Yin Shuqing: raising pigs on the road to prosperity

Yin Shuqing, a retired worker of the fuel supply Department of the Jiwen Forestry Bureau, has been raising pigs since she retired in 2004, and now has the largest pig farm in the area, with an annual income of more than 300,000 yuan.

When she first retired, Yin Shuqing had nothing to do at home. Once, she talked to her friend about the rise in pork prices, but the speaker didn't want to listen, and she came up with the idea of raising pigs. As a result, she investigated the pork prices in Jiwen area and inquired in detail at the homes of familiar pig farmers, feeling that it was feasible to take the road of raising pigs to get rich. But I have no money, no technology, and my house and yard are not big enough to build a pigsty. She told the head of the department about her thoughts and concerns about raising pigs. A few days later, the leader of the unit contacted the site for her, provided an interest-free loan for her in the trade union of the Forestry Bureau, and sent books on breeding.

Yin Shuqing borrowed tens of thousands of yuan from relatives and friends and bought dozens of piglets. Looking at the chubby piglets, Yin Shuqing is even more energetic. Every day, she and her husband went to the pigsty to add water and feed the piglets and clean up their droppings. Sometimes they were too busy to eat. Especially when the sows were giving birth, she dared not take it lightly, so she and her husband stayed in the pigsty day and night. Every time the sow gives birth, she will lose a few jin of meat. She can see that the big pig and the little pig are safe, and Yin Shuqing does not feel tired at all.

With the increasing market demand, Yinshu Qing has expanded the scale of raising pigs, and installed automatic drinking water, food boxes, limit bars and other facilities in the pig house. She also installed a camera on the pigsty so that she could monitor the life of the sows at home and made the electric heating plate herself, which was specially used in the sow production to ensure the survival rate of the piglets.

In order to master more pig-raising techniques, she subscribed to a large number of scientific and technological books and mastered a set of advanced pig-raising techniques, which can achieve self-propagation of improved breeds, self-preparation of feed, and self-control of epidemic diseases. After Yin Shuqing became rich, she did not forget the workers in difficulty, and actively led the poor workers to become rich and go to a well-off society. Today, Yinshuqing's farm has five standardized pig houses, with a total area of more than 600 square meters and more than 400 pigs a year.
