With the development of modern agriculture and people's increasing pursuit of healthy food, the traditional agricultural model is undergoing a profound change.
Among them, as an emerging agricultural production method, chicken raising under the forest is becoming a new type of profiteering business in rural areas with its unique advantages.
As long as there is vacant land, the new profiteering business in rural areas will invest 20,000 yuan and earn 300,000 yuan a year, providing a feasible way for the majority of farmers to get rich.
First, the concept and advantages of raising chickens in the forest.
Understory chicken farming, as the name suggests, refers to the activity of raising chickens in a woodland environment.
It makes full use of the natural resources of the woodland, such as insects, weeds, etc., to provide natural food for the chickens**, and also provides organic fertilizer for the woodland, realizing the ecological cycle.
Compared with the traditional cage or captive breeding mode, understory chickens have the following significant advantages:
1. Low cost: Raising chickens under the forest does not need to invest a lot of money for the construction of chicken coops and the purchase of feed, just a simple fence and a small amount of feed supplements.
Moreover, the woodland environment is natural and healthy, and the incidence of disease in chickens is relatively low, which further reduces the cost of breeding.
2. Ecological and environmental protection: Raising chickens under the forest makes full use of the natural resources of the woodland, reduces the use of chemical fertilizers and pesticides, and is conducive to protecting the ecological environment.
At the same time, chicken manure can also provide organic fertilizer for forest land, promote the growth of forest trees, and realize the organic combination of agriculture and forestry.
3. High quality products: The chicken, eggs and other products produced by the chickens raised under the forest are of high quality and good taste, which is in line with the pursuit of healthy food by modern people.
At the same time, the chicken's physique and immunity are also improved due to their free movement in the woodland, reducing the possibility of drug residues.
Second, the business model of raising chickens under the forest.
In order to achieve the goal of annual income of 300,000 yuan through understory chicken raising, it is necessary to have a certain business strategy and scale planning.
Here's a viable business model:
1. Site selection and planning: choose a flat terrain, sufficient water source, and lush woodland as a breeding base.
According to the topography and woodland resources, reasonably plan the breeding area and chicken coop layout to ensure that the chickens have enough space and food.
2. Breed selection: choose chicken breeds that adapt to the local environment, grow fast and have strong disease resistance.
At the same time, according to market demand and consumer preferences, choose the appropriate breeding cycle and feeding methods.
3. Feed management: Although chickens raised under the forest can use woodland resources to provide some food for the chickens, they still need to supplement the feed appropriately to meet the nutritional needs of the chickens.
In the selection of feed, we should pay attention to the nutritional balance and environmental protection of the feed, and avoid the use of feed containing hormones and antibiotics.
4. Disease prevention and control: Although the incidence of diseases in understory chickens is relatively low, it is still necessary to do a good job in disease prevention and control.
Regularly vaccinate, deworm and disinfect the flock to ensure healthy growth.
5. Sales and brand building: sell products through online and offline channels to improve brand awareness and market share.
At the same time, pay attention to product quality and reputation construction, and create a healthy and green brand image.
3. Potential risks and countermeasures.
1. Although raising chickens under the forest has many advantages, there are also certain potential risks.
Factors such as weather changes, epidemic diseases, and fluctuations in market demand may adversely affect farming.
Therefore, farmers need to take the following countermeasures:
2. Establish a sound risk management mechanism, pay attention to weather changes and market dynamics in a timely manner, and take countermeasures.
Strengthen cooperation with relevant departments and institutions, obtain policy support and technical guidance, and improve breeding efficiency and anti-risk ability.
Focus on brand building and marketing, improve product competitiveness and market share, and reduce market risks.
In short, as a new type of agricultural production mode, understory chicken raising has broad market prospects and great development potential.
As long as farmers can seize the opportunity, scientific planning and careful management, they can achieve the goal of annual income of 300,000 yuan and turn the vacant land into gold and silver.
