Today, Tan Shengfu, a poverty alleviation household in Wutong Township, Kaizhou District, spends almost all of his time on sheep. Several years of breeding precipitation have made him famous in ten miles and eight townships.
On December 30, 2023, in order to help other villagers raise black goats, Tan Shengfu was busy in the enclosure of one of the villagers, muttering a few words to the sheep from time to time. When asked about the income of the past year, he didn't answer directly, but just laughed.
I used to be the poorest family in the village. Tan Shengfu said that after wandering outside for decades, he returned home with nothing, and even the house was repaired with the help of the party and **.
It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. In order to help Tan Shengfu get rid of poverty, Wutong Township, Kaizhou District, encouraged him to raise black goats with policy funds to help him increase his income. After that, Tan Shengfu devoted himself to breeding, and is now a large sheep farmer in the village, with an annual stock of more than 50 sheep and an annual income of more than 50,000 yuan.
Gradually, more and more villagers like Tan Shengfu relied on sheep raising to increase their income, but shortcomings such as lack of technology, lack of forage, and no veterinarians also began to appear. After in-depth research and planning, the local party committee and ** decided to build a rich industry based on black goats, and formulated a small goal of "10,000 heads".
Under the scientific planning, the small industry counterattacked and turned into a large industry, and the scattered breeding of black goats gradually became the "leader" of benefiting the people and increasing income.
In view of the shortage of forage, the local government focuses on promoting the "grain-soybean-grass" three-way planting and breeding model, deeply developing straw resources, making full use of various by-products such as cake meal and bran to supplement the shortage of forage, and realizing the diversification and ecological greening of black goat forage.
In order to make up for the shortcomings of medical technology, the local government has established and improved the rural epidemic prevention technical service network, implemented "one village and one instructor", realized "village epidemic prevention commissioner, household has technical instructor", strictly implemented the free epidemic prevention system of black goat "foot-and-mouth disease" and "triple and four prevention seedlings", and established relevant archives and records such as black goat breeding, immunization, disinfection, harmless treatment, and medicinal materials.
At the same time, the local vigorously promote standardized breeding, in strict accordance with the requirements of modern animal husbandry construction of "improved breeds, breeding facilities, standardized production, institutionalized epidemic prevention, and harmless manure", organize a professional team to serve the transformation of farmers' enclosures, and all sheep houses meet the standardized technical specifications in terms of site selection, design, manure treatment, heat and cold prevention, exhaust and drinking water.
In this way, Wutong Township has taken "five unification" measures such as breed, technology, sales, brand, and environmental protection, which has rapidly driven the expansion of black goat breeding and improved quality. At the same time, the Black Goat Breeding Association of Wutong Township, Kaizhou District settles dividends with farmers according to the agreement, and farmers enjoy dividends according to 5% of the total sales supplied.
Up to now, Wutong Township has developed 4 family farms, 7 professional cooperatives, and 45 large breeding households, with an annual slaughter volume of tens of thousands of heads, accounting for 1 3 percent of the slaughter volume in the whole district, and an annual output value of more than 15 million yuan.
