* * Farmers in Hejing County succeeded in raising muskrats.

"through three years of trial breeding, I have accumulated a wealth of breeding experience, and muskrats have a relatively stable market. I will provide breeding rats and my personal breeding experience to villagers who are willing to breed for free. I hope everyone can get rich." On October 14, when the reporter was interviewed by the muskrat breeding base in Arile Village, Barun Harmodun Town, Hejing County, Chen Zhiming said so.

Raising crabs and soft-shelled turtles is nothing new in Hejing County, but muskrats are developed as an industry to get rich, and muskrat breeding bases have been set up. Chen Zhi, a farmer in Barunharmodun Town, Hejing County, is the first person. In the process of developing characteristic breeding, farmer Chen Zhi explored a new way to get rich for himself and his neighbors.

In Chen Zhiming's muskrat breeding base, in a grid of concrete panels, only chubby and fluffy musk mice are naive, and some are nibbling happily with a section of grass, and their two front teeth are scraping the leaves like scrapers, rustling.

Chen Zhiming said: "Muskrat is an omnivorous animal. It not only eats less, but also is easy to feed. It is not picky. Corn, wheat and soybeans can all be its staple foods. Food matching is even easier. Two or three carrots a day will suffice." Young mice can grow to 2 kilograms in 4 to 5 months. A pair of adult mice can reproduce more than 20 mice a year, and a breeder mouse sells for 100 yuan each. The skin is known as soft gold, and the market price is about 80 murals 120 yuan. Musk can also be extracted, but this technology is not yet mature. "

Chen Zhi, a native of Ari Village, Barun Halmodun Town, Hejing County, introduced muskrats from Shili City, Yanqi County in 2012. He built a house that year and began to raise muskrats for three years now. At present, he has raised 400 muskrats. In 2013, Chen Zhiming declared that the muskrat breeding base was approved, becoming the first muskrat breeding base in Hejing County. Last year alone, Chen Zhiming's muskrat brought him an income of nearly 300000 yuan. Today, Chen Zhiming has become a famous muskrat farmer in Hejing County.

Affluence never forgets its neighbors. In 2013, Liu Tongxi, a villager in the same village, found him and wanted to learn muskrat breeding skills. Chen Zhiming did not hesitate to teach him the skills and provided his five pairs of muskrat cubs to the farmer for free.

Striving to raise the stock to about 2000, and finally realizing the establishment of a muskrat farming professional cooperative to make the surrounding people rich is Chen Zhiming's initial dream, but now Chen Zhiming is getting closer and closer to this dream.
