The scale of pig raising in the courtyard of Sicong village, Zhuzhou, Hunan Province

Introduction: people in Sicong township of Chaling County are less than half of the land Most of the farmers' economic sources mainly rely on the county town to do small work or engage in handicraft industry One year's income can only maintain basic life, and the farmers' pace of becoming rich is slow In order to increase farmers' income, the Party committee and the government of Sicong Township firmly grasp the location advantage that the township is located in the outskirts of the city, with convenient transportation and fast information, and actively guide farmers to use the courtyard to raise pigs By the end of 2001, there were 50 large households and 9 large households with more than 300 pigs raised in the courtyard of the whole village Tan Guizhong, a 32-year-old young farmer from group 4 of Shentang village, after graduating from junior high school, with the support of township and village cadres, loaned 2000 yuan to build a pigsty in front of his house and behind his house and take the road of yard pig breeding After several years of exploration, the scale has been gradually expanded More than 2000 pigs have been put on the market successively, and more than 20000 yuan of tax has been paid 350 pigs have been put on the market from January to October 2001, and 400 pigs have been put on the market, and 1000 pigs can be put on the market throughout the year They have three main experiences: first, the government focuses on guidance and support The Party committee and the government of Sicong Township, through investigation, have targeted to select some promising young farmers with high ideological awareness as the key guide and support objects of yard pig raising, actively communicate with the bank and credit department for them, and promote the establishment of a good credit relationship between the two sides The township government also regularly holds training courses on pig breeding technology, and requires the township veterinary technicians to often go deep into the pig farmers to teach the epidemic prevention technology on the spot 2 Farmers make profits from cost reduction The farmers who raised pigs in the courtyard of the village all processed their own feed and prevented themselves from epidemic, and gained profits from reducing costs They make their own ingredients and process them by themselves, saving 10 yuan for every 50 kg feed compared with the purchased materials The average daily consumption of feed by a pig farmer is about 750 kg According to this calculation, 150 yuan of cost can be saved per day In addition, the farmers' self epidemic prevention can save the cost of epidemic prevention and eliminate the occurrence of sick and dead pigs As a result, the comprehensive cost of pig breeding is greatly reduced and better economic benefits are obtained Third, gradually make the courtyard into a large scale Most of the large courtyard pig farmers in the township have gradually expanded their scale from small to large Tan Guizhong, the fourth group of Shentang village, has only 10 pigs in the first year and 25 in the second year Eight years later, his family has more than 30 pig pens, with an annual output of more than 1000 He estimated that he would raise pigs in eight years and make a profit every year At most, he made a profit of more than 100000 yuan in one year He did not borrow money from the bank He used the method of "snowballing" to expand the scale of pig raising.
