Liu Anbing: Breeding ostrich to become rich

Liu Anbing, from Shuiqing Town, Jiang'an County, has slaughtered 13 ostriches since March this year, earning more than 60,000 yuan. Seeing the success of Liu Anbing, the surrounding farmers also joined the ranks of breeding ostriches. "since the ostrich was slaughtered in March this year, 13 ostriches have been slaughtered so far, earning 65000 yuan, and each ostrich can guarantee an income of 5000 yuan." Recently, Liu Anbing, the owner of an ostrich ecological park in Shuiqing Town, Jiang'an County, told reporters about his "ostrich scriptures" and could not help smiling.

Liu Anbing broke his finger and calculated an account for the reporter: "Adult ostriches generally weigh 180jin to 200jin. After slaughtering, they have 70 jin of net meat. The market price is 50 yuan per jin, and this alone earns 3500 yuan." He took a sip of tea and then said, "Ostrich skin, ostrich hair, ostrich bone and ostrich internal organs are all valuable. Each ostrich can be guaranteed 5000 yuan. Excluding the cost of 1000 yuan, the net income of each ostrich is 4000 yuan."

On July 8 last year, Liu Anbing introduced the first batch of 47 ostrich from other places and raised them in his own dam of less than 200 square meters, establishing the province's first ostrich breeding base. In March this year, he opened an ostrich ecological park, farm music, business is surprisingly good, Luzhou, Yibin, Nanxi and other places many people come to taste ostrich meat. The original enclosure can no longer satisfy the "residence" of 32 ostriches. Liu Anbing has expanded the enclosure area by 4 mu and will select four groups of 32 ostriches as breeding birds (1 male and 3 females in each group), and all the rest will be slaughtered. Liu Anbing said: "I have ordered 100 little ostrich, which will be shipped soon." Liu Anbing told reporters: "among the 12 female ostriches selected, each bird lays 60 eggs a year. Four groups of breeding birds can lay 720 eggs a year. Based on a 70% fertilization rate, about 500 young ostriches can be produced every year."

After Liu Anbing's great success in raising ostriches, many farmers nearby hope to join the ranks of ostriches. At present, more than 10 farmers have the intention of raising, and more than 10 people from other places want to learn ostrich breeding techniques. Liu Anbing said that he will adopt the method of "company + peasant household" to raise the ostrich: the small ostrich will be raised by farmers and recycled uniformly, and the adult ostrich can be recovered in 10 months, with a surrogate fee of 1200 yuan each. The adult ostrich eats 7 to 8 kilograms of grass every day, and the average peasant household can raise five ostriches, and it is no problem for an easy income of 6000 yuan a year. Liu Anbing said: we will focus on supporting rural poverty-stricken families to raise ostriches on their behalf to help them out of their living difficulties.
