Liang Zhen, a bamboo rat farmer

"Raising bamboo rats is a hot and unpopular industry for us in this place. One is that there are few people raising them. Second, the investment is not too big. Third, the market prospects are promising." When it comes to raising bamboo rats, Liang Zhen talks endlessly, as if counting treasures.

Liang Zhen, who is over forty years old, was originally an employee of Siding Kuangqu Mining Area in Rong 'an County. In 2006, she became a laid-off worker due to the restructuring of the enterprise. In 2007, Liang Zhen, who was laid off without losing his ambition, raised meat rabbits by hand. However, due to the high technical requirements of rabbit breeding, the market risk is high. For this reason, last year in Siding Kuangqu management office party branch help, she switched to raising bamboo rats.

In April last year, Liang Zhen invested nearly 5000 yuan to rent 100 square meters of houses, built 60 small rat houses, and introduced 7 breeding rats to Yangshuo, Guilin for breeding. Four months later, the female rats gave birth one after another, and Liang Zhen was happy in her heart. However, immersed in the joy of success, she never thought that more than 20 mice born only a week ago, most of them "missing" every three or five days. This confused Liang Zhen.

In order to find out the reason, Liang Zhen stayed in the rat house for three nights, and found that the original "missing" mouse was eaten by the mother mouse who gave birth. Why does a female eat a rat? How to prevent female rats from eating mice? With these questions in mind, Liang Zhen, who is quick-witted and diligent in learning, not only carefully studied relevant books and looked up relevant information on the Internet, but also consulted experts in raising rats everywhere. Finally, she found out that after the mother rats gave birth, because their bodies lacked water and vitamins and other nutrients, if they did not provide artificial supplements in time, otherwise the mother rats would eat the young rats to supplement themselves with water and nutrition. After half a year's hard work, Liang Zhen mastered a set of excellent skills in raising bamboo rats.

Liang Zhen, who has the unique skill of raising rats, is handy in raising bamboo rats. Under her careful care, the number of bamboo rats has grown from 7 to more than 150 at present, and they are generally fat, shiny fur and fresh meat, which are favored by customers. For this reason, although bamboo rat vendors from Nanning, Guilin, Liuzhou and neighboring counties and townships came to buy them at a high price of 250- 300 yuan per pair, Liang Zhen was only willing to sell a small number of breeding rats, most of which were kept by himself.

Now, in the face of "money" before the bullish bamboo rat market, Liang Zhen full of confidence, she insisted on self-breeding bamboo rat to become rich new way, strive for the Year of the Ox to make a fortune.
