The Sutra of getting rich in mutton soup

In Jianyang City, Sichuan Province, everyone is proud to mention the local mutton soup. "this is the 'first soup in the west'. The soup is delicious, the mutton is tasteless, and the meat is dregs. Not only do the Jianyang people like to eat it, but the sign of Jianyang mutton soup can be seen all over the country. It is very popular." Huang Hui, director of Jianyang Animal Husbandry and Food Bureau, said.

With this pot of mutton soup, Jianyang City started from breeding and made great efforts to develop the sheep industry. last year, mutton output was 23600 tons, sheep raising income was 1.5 billion yuan, and farmers' per capita sheep raising income reached 1250 yuan. Sheep industry has become not only the pillar industry of Jianyang agriculture, but also an important way for local farmers to get rich and enterprises to increase efficiency.

Science and technology are the magic weapon to recite the Book of Sheep well.

Why does Jianyang's mutton soup taste good? Huang Hui said that the delicacy comes from the sheep, and the unique mutton soup comes from the high-quality sheep breed-Jianzhou big-ear sheep. In March this year, the National Livestock and Poultry genetic Resources Committee officially approved Jianzhou Big ear Sheep as a new national mutton sheep breed, becoming the second new mutton sheep breed in China since the founding of the people's Republic of China.

Breeding is difficult, and breeding of livestock and poultry breeds is even more difficult. behind Jianzhou big-ear sheep is the painstaking exploration of scientists for many years. In the early 1980s, the National Livestock and Poultry breed Resources Survey team discovered a rare goat breed in Jianyang, Longquan Mountains. The goat has a tall physique, straight waist, stout limbs, big, long and drooping ears. After a field visit by Professor Liu Xiangmo, an expert from Sichuan Agricultural University, it is found that this sheep breed is a new breed of Nubi goat and native goat, which was given by the United States in the 1940s.

After that, the scientists carried out the arduous work of variety breeding, and after three stages of introduction and hybridization, cross breeding and cross fixation, the excellent population with high reproduction rate, large individual, rapid growth and development, delicate and tasteless meat was cultivated. By September 2012, Jianyang had completed systematic determination, selection and breeding of each generation of sheep and genetic testing of Jianzhou big-ear sheep, and completed the breeding of four generations of Jianzhou big-ear sheep.

Science and technology is also reflected in livestock and poultry breeding and mutton product research and development. "We raise sheep here with a 'six-unified' breeding model, with the company unifying the source of species, unified management, epidemic prevention, forage grass, etc., as well as unified recovery of lambs, improving the standardization, standardization and branding level of the sheep industry, and our income is also increasing." Xue Zhiguo, a big sheep farmer in Wuli Village, Jia Town, Jianyang City, said.

You can also eat tricks when you eat mutton. According to the eating habits and health needs of modern people, the people of Jianyang have studied more than 200 kinds of mutton dishes and unique mutton seats, and also developed a series of special new products such as pickled pepper mutton hoof, pickled mutton ears, boxed mutton soup and so on. Among them, "boxed Jianyang mutton soup" has become the main product of every mutton food culture festival.

If you want to read Yangjing well, modern management is indispensable.

It will soon be the end of the year. Thinking about this year's small ledger, Li Mingcai, a villager of Nanyan Village, Tan Tan Township, Jianyang City, is in full bloom. "I have been raising sheep for more than 20 years. In the previous year, I only produced four or five fat sheep. I won and lost all by chance. After joining the 'six-Party Cooperation + Insurance', the income has doubled! "

"six-party cooperation + insurance" is a major feature of the development of modern animal husbandry in Jianyang, which connects the six main bodies of financial institutions, guarantee companies, feed processing enterprises, livestock farms, association farmers and meat processing enterprises, coupled with agricultural insurance, to ensure the healthy development of the sheep industry.

From 2009 to 2010, Jianyang City fully implemented the "three-five" modern animal husbandry development strategy of "large groups, large enterprises, big bases, improved breeds, scale, standardization, branding and standardization". The leading enterprises, mainly mobile, Zhengdong and Xiangyu animal husbandry, responded positively, integrating feed raw materials, forage planting, sheep breeding, mutton breeding base, slaughtering and processing and other links, forming a complete industrial chain.

The government sets up the stage, the enterprise sings the opera, the Jianyang mutton brand promotion road is wider and wider. Since 2004, the government of Jianyang City has begun to hold Jianyang Mutton Food Culture Festival, attracting people from all over the country to participate in the exhibition. In 2008, in the selection of the achievements of the 30th anniversary of rural reform and opening up in Sichuan Province, Jianzhou Big ear Sheep won the head in the selection of "Tianfu Ten Treasures". In 2011, Jianyang mutton passed the national examination and was protected by geographical indication products.

The Jianyang municipal government will also combine the development of modern animal husbandry with the construction of civilized new villages, establish a resource-saving and environment-friendly production mode, and promote the construction of a circular economy park of "ecological breeding + characteristic planting". According to the 12th five-year Plan of Sheep Industry Development in Jianyang City, by 2015, 20 planting and breeding recycling parks will be built in the city, and 50,000 cubic meters of biogas digester will be built in the standardized goat breeding district.

Jianyang leading enterprises also strive to be a major player in energy saving and emission reduction in goat industry. In Xiangyu Sheep Industry Company, walnut plantations, vegetable plantations, grape plantations and other ecological parks developed by sheep dung are full of vitality, with obvious economic, social and ecological benefits.

Raise new sheep breeds, make mutton soup and recite sheep scriptures. Jianyang combines science and technology, management, market, culture and ecology to find the golden key to the development of modern animal husbandry. A sheep, a pot of soup, let the purse of farmers bulge, the efficiency of enterprises rise, the life of the new countryside is better.
