Zhang Yuezhen, a farmer in Daying Village, Ying County, is on the road to becoming rich by raising chickens scientifically.

In Daying Village, Ying County, there is a farmer named Zhang Yuezhen. Over the years, he has devoted himself to studying chicken-raising technology, constantly developing and strengthening the chicken-raising industry, relying on scientific chicken-raising to embark on the road of prosperity, and driving villagers to develop breeding, which has become a typical example of local farmers getting rich by farming.

Zhang Yuezhen is the head of Boda Chicken raising Cooperative. In 2009, he responded to the call of the Zangzhai township government to vigorously develop the breeding industry and set up a chicken factory. Today, there are 50, 000 chickens in the cooperative, of which 40, 000 are laying hens and 10, 000 are pre-stored chickens, laying more than 4000 jin of eggs a day.

When it comes to raising chickens, Zhang Yuezhen says, "raising chickens is not as simple as people think. From the first day of raising chickens, the henhouse must ensure that the temperature is between 35 and 37 degrees, the humidity is 60 percent, and the light is 24 hours. The feed is also prepared according to the different stages of chicken growth. There are 16 procedures for epidemic prevention alone. Only in this way can the quality of the chicken be guaranteed. " Since Zhang Yuezhen began to raise chickens, he and the technicians have spent most of every day in the 10 chicken sheds in the chicken farm, vaccinating, feeding, and checking the condition of the chickens in each period. He worked on every detail himself. After several years of development, he not only mastered the relevant skills of raising chickens, but also bulged his pockets.

Zhang Yuezhen calculated an account for the reporter: "the selling price of eggs per jin is calculated at 3.50 yuan, and the gross income is 4000 yuan." Among them, 10, 000 for feed, more than 1000 for labor and electricity, 3000 yuan for daily net profit, and 700, 000 to 800, 000 yuan for conservatism every year. " According to Zhang Yuezhen, the cooperative now drives four or five cooperative members, with an average annual income of 40,000 to 50,000 per household, which is far higher than the income from farming.

Seeing that Zhang Yuezhen has embarked on the road of getting rich by raising chickens scientifically, many villagers have also built chicken coops. As soon as she has time, Zhang Yuezhen will go for a walk around the fledgling masses, give advice and help. "our co-operative is slowly getting on the right track. If we want to help the villagers get rich as soon as possible, we all go to a well-off society together."
