Hainan Lingao: raising fragrant chickens to make people rich

On the morning of December 22, the reporter drove to Meiao Village with the staff of Bolian Town to interview Wang Gen, the village head who wanted to raise chickens and lead the villagers to get rich from poverty. When the car drove to the vicinity of the village, whether in the village road or in the lush woods on both sides, you could see some fragrant chickens leisurely feeding there.

Enter Wang Gen's chicken base, which is also a flower nursery. Although it was early winter, the saplings and flowers in the nursery were lush and unusually beautiful. At the same time, they added a green warmth to this winter.

Wang Gen, head of Meiao Village, Bolian Town, demonstrated that breeding fragrant chickens were on the road to prosperity.

Wang Gen taught the villagers breeding technology and experience, led the villagers to expand the breeding chicken industry, and became a well-known professional chicken household far and near.

"Cluck cluck cluck", a string of chicken sound into the ear, look up, in the nursery long dirt road, a middle-aged man is carrying a bag of corn along the road. Strong fragrant chickens rushed over from all directions, competing for food. At this time, the road seemed to be covered with a layer of various colors. The middle-aged man feeding the chickens was Wang Gen, the village chief of Meiao Village.

Dark, simple and honest is Wang Gen's most impressive characteristics. Wang Gen's smiling face became more brilliant when talking about raising chickens. He said that by raising fragrant chickens, not only did he reap the joy of starting a business, but also enabled some villagers to participate in making money to get rid of poverty.

Why do you want to raise fragrant chickens? Wang Gen opened the chatterbox, he said, he used to be a farmer who planted traditional industries at home, like the people in the village, planted some rice and winter melons and vegetables. In 2013, Wang Gen was elected village chief. At this moment, his mood is no longer as flat as before, but there is a kind of responsibility pressure.

"Meiao Village is a poor village. The villagers are divided into three mu of land. They all rely on traditional cultivation. Their income is relatively low, and their livelihood is quite difficult." Wang Gen said that since the villagers elected him as the village chief, he should find ways to lead the villagers to make money out of poverty. Therefore, Wang Gen after a period of hard thinking, he finally decided to use his brother's nursery and the village's favorable conditions to raise fragrant chickens.

That year, Wang Gen bought hundreds of fragrant chickens to raise in the nursery. " It's not just this large nursery. There are also many trees around the village. Moreover, there's a 100-acre lychee base behind the nursery. They're the best places to raise fragrant chickens." He said, because there are many fruits and insects under the tree, usually in addition to fixed feeding corn, those fragrant chickens can forage everywhere, at night, they run back to the chicken shed, so the fragrant chicken raised pure natural, delicious, fresh color, good taste, some hotels in the county and many outsiders come to buy, always not enough to sell. That year, Wang Gen earned more than 10,000 yuan.

With the harvest, Wang Gen was confident in this decision. So he wanted to continue to expand the breeding scale, but the funds gave him a difficult problem. Wang Gen thought twice and finally went to the town government himself for help.

In 2014, Wang Gen, with the help of the town government, Huifeng Bank lent him 100,000 yuan of support. With capital, coupled with his flexible mind, ability to endure hardship, good at research, and not afraid of losses, he raised only a few hundred chickens from the first to the present 4,000 fragrant chickens. Wang Gen slowly accumulated rich experience in raising chickens. He can basically find out the situation of raising chickens now. He said that as long as he learned more and observed more and did a good job of epidemic prevention, he could raise chickens well. Now, breeding fragrant chicken has increased his income by tens of thousands of yuan.

"Although I am the village chief and a farmer, I always have a dream in my heart, that is, to make money for the whole village to get rid of poverty and live a good life." Wang Gen said confidently.

Today, more and more fragrant chickens are raised, and the market needs to be gradually expanded. Therefore, Bolian Town provided some support measures to Wang Gen. Bolian Town not only arranges livestock technical professionals to guide him at his chicken breeding base, but also uses some information platforms of the town to provide sales channel services for him.

This year, driven by the demonstration of village head Wang Gen, several villagers in the village have begun to raise chickens. Wang Gen teaches breeding technology and experience to everyone and guides villagers to raise fragrant chickens. Wang Gen smiled and said: "When I started raising chickens, the villagers were watching, but I believe it will not be long before they will raise more and more chickens to make money, and then my dream will come true."
