The "chicken raising" industry has become a "cash cow" for getting rich.

These days, Liu Fencang of Fodianwan Village, Tuqiao Township, Qingcheng County is busy building a chicken cottage. Although the weather is cold, he is full of energy to start his own business, because his dream of raising chickens for many years is about to come true.

Liu Fencang is a farmer born and raised in Fodian Bay Village. Although he has many years of experience in raising chickens, the scale of breeding has not been expanded due to lack of funds. Knowing this, Murakami designated him as a key farmer, throwing free chicken seedlings for him and helping him build a standard chicken coop.

Liu Fencang said: "raising chickens can't make money. If you want to expand this scale, you can get more income."

Now, Liu Fencang has enough stamina to develop the aquaculture industry, and he also plans to develop his own woodland and develop chicken farming under the forest.

Liu Fencang said: "the investment of a chicken is 40 yuan, and if you sell it for 80 yuan, you can still earn 40 yuan. If you don't sell it for more than a year, you can sell two crops. You can earn 80, 000 yuan in one crop and 160000 yuan in two crops. I think this development prospect is particularly fast. It's much better than raising sheep and growing crops."

In Fodianwan Village, there are 14 villagers who have developed the chicken industry like Liu Fencang, and more than 100 scattered farmers have also achieved centralized farming through cooperatives.

Zhang Zhongbing, secretary of the party branch of Fodianwan Village in Tuqiao Township, said: "We have established two large-scale cooperatives in our village, 14 large-scale farmers, and more than 100 scattered farmers through cooperatives, from slaughtering to selling through cooperatives. In this way, it is convenient for free-range farmers to sell, and it is very convenient for chicken seedlings to be cultivated."

Tuqiao Township is located in the northern mountain area of our county, and the poor population here is mostly due to the poor natural environment. In the precise poverty alleviation work, Tuqiao Township has explored the rich industries suitable for local development after many investigations.

Zhao Tong, secretary of the party committee of Tuqiao Township, said: "We consider that if the masses want to get rid of poverty, they need a short-term industry to support it, and if they want to get rich after getting rid of poverty, they need a long-term industry to support it." in this area, we have explored a chicken industry under the forest. "

The forest includes two parts: ecological forest and apple tree planting. The combination of forest and fruit extends the industrial chain. The township also provides free chicken seedlings to farmers in each village to help them enhance their motivation and confidence to become rich.

Zhao Tong said: "each village sets up two cooperatives and supports 10 large-scale households. The remaining retail investors give each household 20 chicken seedlings, the large-scale households invest 2000 chicken seedlings, and if the large-scale households build chicken sheds, we will subsidize each household with a subsidy of 5000 yuan."

Today, this model has been fully implemented in two villages in Tuqiao Township, and it is expected to achieve full coverage of the whole township by the end of next year, so that the "chicken" industry can really become a "cash cow" for people to increase their income and become rich.
