Traditional pig farming is popular. "Zhu Bajie" of Wulong was robbed before he came out of the hurdle.

In Journey to the West, "Zhu Bajie" robbed his wife, but now Wulong's "Zhu Bajie" has been robbed.

On September 21, Jiang Hua, head of the Huayu Pig farming Professional Cooperative in Wulong County, repeatedly said sorry to customers who came to order native pork, "I really can't help it. All our native pigs have been ordered this year."

The local pigs mentioned by Jiang Hua didn't come out until November at the earliest, but they already have an owner.

The government subsidizes the development of ten thousand native pigs

Speaking of today's pork, many people will say that the taste is not as good as it used to be.

"in the past, pigs were fed with food, but now they are basically fed. In the past, it took more than a year for a pig to get out of the pen, but now it only takes four months at the earliest. It must taste different. " Wang Hongyang, director of the Wulong County Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau, said that in recent years, Wulong tourism has developed rapidly, and native chickens and ducks raised locally are very popular with tourists. After visiting some catering enterprises and star hotels, he found that people were interested in native pigs and hoped to have better-tasting pork to attract customers.

At the end of last year, Wulong launched a pilot program for raising ten thousand native pigs in Huo Township and Miaowu Township-- selecting local native pig breeds. After the pigs grew to 50 kilograms, they were no longer fed with feed. Instead, they were fed with traditional farming methods, such as cooked bracts, yams, and red roe. In order to support native pig farming, Wulong County Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau also gives subsidies to farmers, with a subsidy of 0.5 yuan per jin for native pigs.

Farmers raise pigs to increase their income by 500 yuan.

As a major pig farmer and trafficker in Huohe Town, Jianghua took the initiative to join the pilot project of native pig farming.

By adopting the method of cooperatives and farmers, he developed more than 8000 native pigs in Cheba Village, Huohe Town. The cooperative provides piglets to farmers, who raise them as required, and the cooperative finally buys them at a guaranteed reserve price.

More than 8000 native pigs are scattered in farmers' homes, how to ensure that pigs will no longer be fed when they grow to 50 kilograms? Jiang Hua said that every pig has earrings, which are like the pig's ID card, and the growth of the pig can be found at any time. In addition, there are special veterinarians in the village, and one of their jobs is to inspect the pig sheds every day.

"in addition, from the perspective of farmers, there is no need for feed feeding." Jiang Hua said that feeding a pig with feed can only earn 100-200 yuan, and if the market is bad, you have to stick it upside down. Now, although the breeding cycle is long, there is no risk in breeding. There are veterinarians in epidemic prevention at ordinary times. The reserve price per kilogram is about 2 yuan higher than that of the original feed-fed pigs, and a pig can earn 400-500 yuan more than in the past. Farmers generally raise six native pigs, and in a year, the income of raising pigs alone has several thousand yuan.

Strive to raise 200000 heads within five years.

Although native pork has become a hot commodity now, the price of native pork is not too high.

"this is our first batch of native pigs, and we can't raise prices indiscriminately because they are in demand. As our purchase price is higher than that of feed-fed pork, the price of native pig pork is about 3-5 yuan higher than that of feed-fed pigs! " Jiang Hua said.

Some time ago, the person in charge of the supply and Marketing Co-operative of Huohe Town found Jianghua, hoping that Jianghua could provide them with some native pork this year.

"I calculated that the total number of more than 8,000 pigs this year is less than 100 tons of native pork, while the supply and marketing cooperatives need a total of hundreds of tons, I am sure there is no way to supply." Jiang Hua said.

Unable to buy native pork from Jianghua, the person in charge of some star hotels and large restaurants in Wulong County found the Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau.

"the bosses of several star hotels have come to us in the hope that they can supply some native pork this year, even if it is a little smaller." Wang Hongyang said, "but we can only say sorry, because the output is only so small, we must ensure the quality of native pigs, and we must not allow inferior quality!"

According to the plan of Wulong County Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Bureau, the breeding scale of native pigs in the county will be expanded to 30, 000 next year, and 200000 within five years.

Give full play to the comparative advantage and take the road of characteristic development

More than a month before he left the fence, Wulong's ten thousand native pigs were robbed. Why are Wulong native pigs so "favored"? The main reason is that the word "soil" is used to raise pigs with traditional soil methods, so that pork can return to its original taste, which naturally dwarfs feed pigs that are fattened for four months.

Tourism in Wulong County is developing well, but 80% of the county is still an underdeveloped rural area. Wulong has a tradition of raising pigs. At the same time, there are more Wulong mountains, rich in corn, potato, red potato and other agricultural products. How to play the role of these agricultural products? Characteristic breeding is a good way, and it is also in line with the spirit of the third Plenary session of the fourth Municipal CPC Committee. As an ecological protection and development area in southeast Chongqing, Wulong County develops the "earthy road" of native pigs, which not only makes full use of local resources, but also meets the market demand. Increased the income of the people. This is a typical example of giving full play to its comparative advantages, highlighting the focus of development, and highlighting the characteristics of development.
