Qinggang County, Heilongjiang Province: fall in love with Big White Goose and realize the Dream of becoming Rich

In recent years, Yongfeng Town, Qinggang County, has made great efforts to develop white goose breeding with the help of Qinggang's strong opportunity to develop the white goose industry. Now many rural women have developed into large goose farmers and goose economic people, and Zhang Xiumin, 35, is the representative of them.

Zhang Xiumin is a director of the village women's Congress in Pingquan Village, Yongfeng Town. before raising white geese, her family's main source of income was farming and raising fat pigs. Although she lived a happy life, she seemed anxious that more and more people around her got rich through the development of animal husbandry. Although raising pigs has brought her a high income for many years, it is greatly influenced by the market, and the income fluctuates greatly and the cycle is long, the investment is large, the cost is high, and the risk is high. At this time, the successful example of Tan Yongshuang in raising white geese in the same village inspired her. Moreover, compared with other projects, white goose breeding has less investment, less risk, faster results, broad market prospects, and also meets her conditions at that time. With the idea of trying, she went to Tan Yongshuang to understand the relevant breeding techniques. Under Tan Yongshuang's patient explanation, she made up her mind to raise white geese, so in 2010 she bought 500 young geese and changed the original idle yard into a simple goose house to start her goose raising road.

Due to her lack of breeding experience, Zhang Xiumin did not dare to slack off from the very beginning. while raising goslings, she grazed, fed, fed, and vaccinated from morning to night, and used the evening time to delve into the books on white goose breeding. Tan Yongshuang asked questions that he did not understand, and went online to consult relevant materials to understand the white goose market. After more than three months of careful breeding, he sold 450 finished geese that year and made more than 8000 yuan. In the face of this success, Zhang Xiumin was confident and determined to expand the scale of breeding. Expanding the scale requires a large amount of money, and when the town women's federation learned about the situation, it helped her coordinate 30,000 yuan in micro-loans and built a goose house.

In 2014, the town government stepped up the development of the white goose industry to facilitate farmers to sell finished geese, signed an order with Hongxi Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., uniformly booked goose chicks, unified epidemic prevention, free guidance and training, and recycled finished geese at a reserve price of 8 yuan per catty. If the market price is higher than the reserve price, the company will recover the finished geese at the market price. With such convenience and preferential conditions, Zhang Xiumin has strengthened her determination to continue to expand the scale of raising geese. In 2015, she increased from 1000 white geese in previous years to more than 3000, increasing the scale and putting more pressure on Zhang Xiumin. In particular, the feeding of goose chicks is more meticulous work. Feeding, drinking water, vaccination, and the most afraid of squeeze, they have to check on time day and night. For nearly half a month, she and her husband watch in shifts, fearing mistakes, so they finally come to the goose chicks to graze in the field. The husband and wife are relieved. Their daily work is still very hard. They need to get up early in the morning and feed, but watch the white geese grow up day by day. In the past few years, raising geese Zhang Xiumin has also achieved very good economic benefits, and after tasting the benefits, Zhang Xiumin decided to incubate her own goose chicks. This year, she kept 2000 geese, and plans to hatch 30,000 chicks next year, so as to solve the problem of purchasing chicks.

This year, Zhang Xiumin can earn 70,000 yuan in raising geese. Seeing that the benefits of raising geese are so good, Zhang Xiumin does not forget her sisters in the same village. She found several good sisters in the village to encourage them to raise them. Under her lead, there are five households raising more than 2000 white geese in the village, and more than 10 households. The sisters who have just come into contact with goose farmers encounter problems that they do not understand. As long as they find her, they will try their best to help solve them. Watching her white goose grow up day by day, Zhang Xiumin said with emotion: "it is the party's policy of enriching the people and government support that have helped her embark on the road to prosperity. In the future, she will continue to make efforts to develop white goose breeding. And she plans to set up an integrated cooperative for the production and marketing of white geese in the village, so that more villagers can join the society and operate together, so that the villagers can lead a good life and contribute to their own efforts to increase their income and become rich."
