A corner of Yingjun Deer Farm.

Speaking of sika deer, we can't help thinking of the northeast specialty-velvet antler. In Xiduli Village, Wendengying Town, there is a Yingjun Deer Farm that specializes in raising sika deer. Now, Wendeng people can not only enjoy sika deer on their doorstep, but also buy a variety of pure nourishing deer products.

Early in the morning of September 24, the reporter rushed to Yingjun Deer Farm. No sooner had I arrived at the gate than I heard the sound of deer. Chen Yingjun, general manager of Yingjun Deer Farm, took the reporter to the mother deer circle. Several little sika deer saw strangers and immediately ran around the circle. In the buck pen to the north of the doe's pen, more than a dozen buck are eating bran leisurely. Chen Yingjun told reporters that he has been raising deer since 2003, and the herd is growing day by day, with a maximum of more than 200 deer.

The market potential of deer industry is huge. Sika deer is covered with treasures, pilose antler is one of the "northeast three treasures", has a high nutritional and medicinal value. When it comes to sika deer, Chen Yingjun has endless words.

More than ten years ago, Chen Yingjun worked in a deer farm run by the town. This experience made him have a certain understanding of sika deer farming and had feelings for sika deer. With the development of society, people pay more and more attention to health care. Chen Yingjun thinks that the market prospect of raising deer is relatively broad. In 2003, Chen Yingjun rented some idle school buildings, introduced high-quality sika deer breeds from the northeast, and set up a closed sika deer breeding farm.

Raising northeast sika deer in eastern coastal cities, at first, many people did not understand. Even Chen's wife did not support him. The climate of Northeast China is so different from that of Wendeng, will the sika deer not be accustomed to it?

"it turns out that Wendeng's climate is very suitable for raising sika deer." Chen Yingjun said that not only that, but also very easy to raise, sika deer are very adaptable, female deer are born by their own care, never allow breeders to approach.

Sika deer are never picky eaters. Sika deer feed is divided into coarse grain and fine grain, fine grain generally includes soybean, corn, wheat bran and so on, coarse grain is mainly fresh corn straw. Sika deer do not eat much. An adult deer generally eats 5 kilograms of food a day. Compared with other animals, it has the advantages of low breeding cost, low risk and high profit.

In order to take good care of these babies, Chen Yingjun devoted all his energies to the deer farm, getting up early in the morning and taking good care of them every day.

Like other aquaculture industries, the biggest bottleneck in sika deer breeding is marketing. When the deer farm was first built, it encountered a cold spell in the market, but Chen Yingjun survived. In order to improve his breeding skills, Chen Yingjun subscribed to several newspapers and periodicals in raising deer and went to Changchun, Shijiazhuang and other places to inspect the sika deer market and accumulate experience. In the first few years, he spent 16 hours a day on the deer farm, observing and pondering carefully and quickly mastering the living habits of the deer. Now if a deer is in bad spirits and his stomach is swollen, he can see it at a glance and can treat the sika deer according to his knowledge.

Sika deer usually start pilose antler in May and June every year. In order to give sika deer adequate nutrition, Chen Yingjun usually gives it some soybeans or peanut cake two months in advance before pilose antler, so that velvet antler is not only good in appearance, but also big. Hard work is worth the good-hearted man, under the careful care of Chen Yingjun, the deer are growing day by day, but also give him a rich financial return.

According to Chen Yingjun, in recent years, the market of sika deer has gradually heated up, and the market price of velvet antler has reached more than 3000 yuan per kilogram. Each adult deer can cut two crops of velvet antler a year, weighing about 1.5kg. Each adult male deer can generate an income of about 5000 yuan a year.

Open Chen Yingjun's freezer, it is filled with pilose antler, deer whip, deer fetus cream and so on. Chen Yingjun took out a fresh frozen velvet antler. The velvet antler was very tender and the fluff on it was clearly visible. Chen Yingjun said that this is the pilose antler with the highest nutritional value, and you can directly soak the wine. if it is preserved properly, the efficacy of pilose antler will not change in three or five years.

In addition to pilose antler, you can also sell deer whip, venison, blood and deer fetus can also process deer blood wine and deer fetus ointment. In 2009, Chen Yingjun seized the opportunity to jointly develop deep-processed products with some processing plants, and a series of products such as dried velvet antler, pilose antler wine and pilose antler blood came into being, which were sought after by many "health-preserving families". In order to raise sika deer with good breeds, Chen Yingjun updates the herd every few years, so that more high-quality sika deer supplements come into thousands of households.

During the interview, Mr. Chen, a Rongcheng citizen who came to buy pilose antler tablets and pilose antler blood wine, told reporters that he came here every year to buy some health products for his parents and relatives. Pilose antler contains more than 100 kinds of active ingredients, such as amino acids, nucleic acids, polyamines, enzymes, vitamins and so on, which can enhance the body's immunity, beauty and beauty. He often uses pilose antler and chicken, duck and other meat soup to stick to it for many years. My health is much better than before.

With the fame of the farm becoming more and more famous, the breeding efficiency is also getting better and better. Many villagers nearby have the intention of raising sika deer. Chen Yingjun is not stingy to teach them breeding methods. Chen Yingjun said that in the future, he will also consider allowing villagers who are interested in breeding to join his farm, so that more villagers can get rich by raising sika deer.
