Xiangning County Wuyun Chicken Breeding Professional Cooperative Entrepreneurship FuminJi

Some people say that no one knows about being in the mountains. However, next to the Yunqiu Mountain Tourist Scenic Area, a national 4A-level tourist resort, there is an unknown small mountain village - Wujiahe Village, Guanwangmiao Township, Xiangning County, which has become famous for scientific chicken raising in recent years, and leaders at the provincial, municipal, county, and township levels have repeatedly gone to investigate and guide, and surrounding rural farmers often go to explore and treasure. The fresh eggs produced by the Wuyun Chicken Professional Cooperative in Xiangning County were awarded the "Pollution-free Agricultural Product Certificate" by the Shanxi Provincial Department of Agriculture and the Ministry of Agriculture of the State, and are exported to Linfen, Yuncheng, Taiyuan, Xi'an, Chongqing and other places. From 2012 to 2014, the cooperative was successively rated as "law-abiding and honest management unit", "scientific and technological demonstration base", "advanced unit for the construction of farmers' cooperative organizations" and "typical household for characteristic agriculture" by the party committees, governments and associations at the municipal, county and township levels. Wu Yun, the founder of the cooperative, has also been awarded the "Scientific and Technological Innovation Figure" by the county party committee and the county government, and the "Rural Science Popularization Leader" by the Linfen Science and Technology Association. Wu Zhilong, secretary of the party branch of Wujiahe Village, who served as a special adviser to the cooperative, was rated as "Shanxi Provincial Rural Cadre Science and Technology Leader" by four units: the Provincial Propaganda Department, the Provincial Science and Technology Department, the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and the Provincial Science and Technology Association.

Wujiah river village is located in the Shishan Forest Area of Guanwangmiao Township, Xiangning County. People often say that the mountain eats the mountain, and the water draught. Farmers in the village have lived for generations by planting land, mining, chopping firewood, selling firewood and burning charcoal. With the increase of the state's management of mineral resources and forest resources, the hope of local farmers to get rid of poverty and become well-off is relatively slim, and some families are even difficult to maintain their basic livelihood. In 2005, Wu Zhilong, a communist party member working in the coal mine, was appointed secretary of the Wujiahe party branch by the township party committee. In order to change the poor and backward appearance of his hometown, Wu Zhilong led village cadres to Shenzhen, Henan, Hebei and other places at his own expense, so that everyone could go out of the mountains to see the world and change their minds to seek development.

After returning from the inspection, Wu Zhilong planned to make full use of the natural conditions surrounded by mountains, dense forests, fresh air and quiet environment in accordance with the improvement of the people's living standards and the increasingly favored market demand for green pollution-free healthy food, and build a large pollution-free chicken farm. However, the cadres and masses in the village are "not to see the rabbit and not to scatter the eagle", and if you say a word, there is less praise and more opposition, and it is difficult to form a consensus. A little money is afraid of "meat buns hitting dogs", and bird flu has just passed, who knows when it will come again? Those who have no money do not dare to bracket. In the end, Wu Zhilong decided to take the lead in making a show for everyone to see, so that it would be convincing. So Wu Zhilong took the lead himself and mobilized the 8 poorest farmers in the village to set up a chicken cooperative. In order to reassure them, Wu Zhilong used his own house and car as collateral, and each family had 50,000 yuan in their name. In the credit union, he borrowed 400,000 yuan of start-up funds, earned everyone's points, and lost Wu Zhilong who thought he was unlucky. Therefore, in February 2011, 8 farmers in Wujiahhe Village established an agricultural cooperative economic organization based on the breeding of layer chickens and product packaging and sales - Wuyun Chicken Breeding Professional Cooperative in Xiangning County.

After the establishment of the cooperative, Wu Zhilong served as an adviser and his son Wu Yun served as the head. Relevant experts were hired to carry out scientific design and planning, and strictly followed the relevant provisions of the national aquaculture industry and the "Food Safety Law" to design and implement. The cooperative design covers a total area of 41.6 acres, with a total investment of more than 10 million yuan. After several years of hard work, by the first half of 2015, 15 large chicken coops, 5 small chicken coops, 8 egg banks, 1 feed processing workshop, 5 feed reserve warehouses, 2 disinfection rooms, 1 gatehouse, 1 power distribution room, 8 staff dormitories, 2 offices, 1 veterinary pharmacy, and 5 other auxiliary facilities have been built, with a construction area of 23 acres and an investment of more than 8.3 million yuan. At present, the chicken farm currently has an annual stock of 100,000 chickens, an annual output of more than 1,200 tons of fresh eggs, an annual sales income of more than 9.1 million yuan, and an annual profit of more than 1.8 million yuan. The feed processing workshop processes more than 3,000 tons of feed per year, which not only reduces the cost of feed, but also creates a profit of more than 200,000 yuan, with an average household of more than 180,000 yuan. The cooperative also arranged 60 rural surplus labor, achieving an annual wage income of more than 600,000 yuan, while stimulating the planting of crops such as corn in the surrounding areas, and using chicken fertilizer as a high-quality fertilizer can increase corn production by 30%, achieving a double harvest of economic and social benefits.

Since its completion and operation, the cooperative has made full use of the local high-quality natural environment and is committed to the development and production of pollution-free products. From feed processing, water quality protection, to site hardening, greening, beautification, many aspects, to create high-quality green products, to maximize the benefits. In November 2011, it passed the certification of pollution-free agricultural products by the Provincial Department of Agriculture, and in February 2012, it was approved and issued by the Product Quality and Safety Center of the Ministry of Agriculture. The market space of cooperatives has been further expanded, the prospects for development have been broader, and the masses have seen hope and have asked to join the cooperative.

The advanced practice of the Wuyun Chicken Breeding Professional Cooperative in Xiangning County to promote the successful entrepreneurship of poor farmers has been strongly supported by party committees at all levels, governments and relevant departments directly under the county government at the provincial, municipal, county and township levels. County small and medium-sized enterprise service centers, county science and technology centers, county animal husbandry centers, county agricultural commercial banks, county poverty alleviation bureaus and other units actively track services, solve difficulties, often publicize preferential policies to cooperatives, carry out entrepreneurship, technical training and professional guidance, and dredge financing channels. Driven by the Wuyun Chicken Breeding Professional Cooperative, the breeding industry in Xiangning County has been greatly developed, and a good atmosphere of mass entrepreneurship and innovation is taking shape.
