Ecological enrichment of "old turtle"

"Old soft-shelled turtle" and "soft-shelled turtle king" are both talking about the same person, and he is Bu Weishao, the person in charge of the Qingjiang Ecological Turtle and soft-shelled Turtle farming Cooperative in Yunhe County.

For Bu Weishao, "Old soft-shelled Turtle" and "soft-shelled Turtle King" are two "nicknames", indicating that he has entered the turtle industry. In the past year, with the strength of raising soft-shelled turtles, Bu Weishao has successively won honors such as the leader of youth getting rich in Zhejiang Province, excellent scientific and technological workers in Lishui, and elite agricultural division in Lishui. his "three-stage" ecological breeding model also won the second prize for scientific and technological achievements in the city. In July last year, Bu Weishao and his ecological soft-shelled turtles appeared on CCTV's "making money" program and became well-known all over the country.

Yes, Bu Weishao is a person who likes to toss, and his strength is not limited to himself, but is more used on the turtle. He took the soft-shelled turtle to the mountains and countryside, transferred ownership to the village, went into the greenhouse, into the pond, and swam the rice paddies. In the end, the soft-shelled turtle was "electrocuted" and "got on the net." he embarked on a smooth road full of hope for e-commerce.

The inexplicable relationship between a college student and the soft-shelled turtle

Bu Weishao is an authentic college student. In his words, he is the most peasant among the college students and looks the most knowledgeable among the farmers. In 1997, Bu Weishao graduated from Zhejiang Ocean University, majoring in freshwater aquaculture. Talking about why he studied freshwater aquaculture, he told reporters that there was a small episode.

"when I was choosing my major, I was tricked by my eldest brother." Bu Weishao said with a smile, "We have a reservoir at home, and the eldest brother said that we might as well learn aquatic products, so that we can still have a person who knows how to do it."

In this way, Bu Weishao was confused and embarked on the road of aquatic learning.

However, during his four-year college career, Bu Weishao did not have much interest in fish, and his monitor once joked: "Wei Shao, you are small, stop working in aquatic products and find another job."

"there are 41 students in our class, and in the end, only six of them are really engaged in front-line work in aquatic products, and I am one of them." Bu Weishao did not go the other way because of a joke. after graduation, he came to Lishui Southeast Aquaculture Co., Ltd. as a technician.

Because he was young and was born in a science class, Bu Weishao once felt that with what he had learned in four years, he was fully qualified for his current job, but there was always a gap between books and reality. After a year of work, he gradually found the lack of his practical ability, and resolutely decided to study in large-scale aquaculture enterprises.

"in practical work, I can't even make turtle feed well, so it's not advisable to talk on paper after all." In 1998, Bu Weishao came to Yiwu Dongtai farming Co., Ltd., the largest aquaculture enterprise in Zhejiang at that time. He started from the foundation, from experts to ordinary workers, and became his goal of learning. For another year, he served as the head of the soft-shelled turtle production area of the farm.

In the 1990s, soft-shelled turtle farming flourished in Zhejiang, and soft-shelled turtle was regarded as a "luxury" in the eyes of ordinary people, reaching a price of 300 to 400 yuan per jin. However, prosperity and decline, almost overnight, the price of soft-shelled turtle plummeted to dozens of yuan, a large number of farmers could not bear huge economic losses, sadly withdrew from the market.

Bu Weishao did not give up. In 2002, he came to work and study in Shangyu Base of Hangzhou Crown Feed and Aquatic Co., Ltd., after several years of study, his breeding technology became more and more skilled, and in constant technical exploration, he found a great business opportunity in soft-shelled turtle culture-ecological turtle culture.

A man who "transformed" the soft-shelled turtle.

Bu Weishao has never left turtle farming, and it is because of this that he has been able to study the soft-shelled turtle more thoroughly, thus making it more cost-effective and practical.

In 2005, Bu Weishao set up an aquaculture farm near Yaolin Wonderland in Tonglu County, Hangzhou, specializing in ecological soft-shelled turtle farming.

"I have always been engaged in greenhouse culture of soft-shelled turtles, but I found great achievements in ecological culture during my work in Hangzhou." Bu Weishao said that at that time, Yao Lin's ecological environment was relatively good, soil and water, climate and other conditions could raise high-quality soft-shelled turtles.

In this way, in the course of study and exploration, Bu Weishao's ecological turtle culture in Yaolin lasted until 2007. After two years of practice and summary, he came up with the idea of going back to his hometown to start a business.

The green waters and green mountains of his hometown Yunhe made Bu Weishao's ecological turtle culture full of imagination. He explored the first "three-stage" ecological culture model of "going up to the mountains and going to the countryside" in China. The ecological soft-shelled turtles raised are all wild, just like wild turtles.

Before the emergence of the "three-stage" ecological aquaculture model, Bu Weishao still focused on greenhouse farming. He told reporters that he had successfully released 120000 soft-shelled turtle seedlings in a standard breeding greenhouse of 2500 square meters, but a year later, due to similar sales and other reasons, he could not open the market at all.

"it was a real blow on the head at that time." Bu Weishao said, "I think the word" ecology "is too simple."

Reflecting and summing up, Bu Weishao chose to move forward. He decided to give full play to the ecological advantages of Yunhe and explore a set of ecological aquaculture technology that meets the requirements of the market. Through the network platform, Bu Weishao sought the help of aquatic experts, including Professor Qian Guoying of Zhejiang Wanli University. under the technical guidance of experts, the "three-stage" farming model has gradually taken shape.

According to reports, the "three-stage" culture model, that is, the culture mode of "greenhouse + pond + reservoir cage", through the first stage of soft-shelled turtle seedling greenhouse culture period, the second stage of soft-shelled turtle breeding soil pond micro-flow water culture quality optimization period, the third stage of adult turtle reservoir cage culture quality control period of reasonable matching, the formation of a set of advanced and perfect ecological culture of soft-shelled turtle The modern facility fishery technology and ecological culture methods are combined to improve the survival rate and product quality of soft-shelled turtle fingerling cultivation.

In the continuous exploration and practice, Bu Weishao innovated the "three-stage" culture model according to the local reality, and found out the new technology of ecological culture of soft-shelled turtle. the three-stage symbiotic running water culture model of rice and soft-shelled turtle was implemented in Yunhe terraced mountain area with an elevation of more than 1000 meters, which made the value of ecological soft-shelled turtle soar to 10 times that of greenhouse turtle and 5 times that of pond turtle.

With the development of his career, Bu Weishao established Yunhe County's first farmers' professional cooperative engaged in turtle breeding-Yunhe County Qingjiang Ecological Turtle and Turtle farming Professional Cooperative.

"Qingjiang", as its name implies, is a clear river. As if to echo the name of the cooperative, Bu Weishao put the breeding base in the Yunhe Lake tourist scenic spot, adjacent to Shipu Huahai, built according to the mountain spring stream.
