Little quail transforms into a big industry

Technicians are checking the growth and development of quail

In the midsummer season, the reporter walked into the Nature breeding professional cooperatives in Qin Village, Haojiazhuang Town, Shangxian District, Changzhi City. The reporter saw in the breeding area that a quail or foraging or playful, and the eggs under them were neatly placed in the picker. Yang Qing, the person in charge of the cooperative, introduced: "Don't look at these eggs small, expensive!"

Although the small quail looks inconspicuous, it is Yang Qing's "heart meat", which not only allows him to make his career so as well, but also drives the surrounding villagers to increase the income and become rich.

Occasionally, a chance to make Yang Qing, who was preparing to start a business, aimed at the quail of "treasure". He learned that farming quail investment and fast results are very suitable for factory production. Quails only need to breed 40 to 50 days from young seedlings to raw eggs, and the demand for quail eggs in the market is large. Quail meat is also a good tonic product. Quail manure is still the top fertilizer for fruit trees. So he resolutely returned to the village to develop the quail breeding industry.

In 2010, his farm was officially put into production. After years of development, there are currently more than 60,000 quail quails, with an average daily egg production of more than 1,000 pounds. They are mainly sold to major farmers' markets and surrounding counties. In addition, they sell quail meat and quail feces.

While the farm is accelerating the development, it also actively absorbs the employment of the surrounding people. In addition to a few fixed workers, when the chicks are on the peak period of employment in the cage, selling quail eggs, etc., the farm will also temporarily hire more than ten workers.

Yang Qing said with confidence: "Next, I plan to expand the scale of breeding, and then introduce 100,000 quail. At the same time, by guiding more villagers to join the quail breeding industry, we will make this industry bigger and stronger. Increase income and get rich. "
