Shulan City, a major livestock county in China and a major beef cattle producing county in Jilin Province, will raise 305,000 beef cattle in 2020, and the output volume will reach 160,000 heads, and the output value of beef cattle will account for 51.6% of the total output value of animal husbandry, and the beef cattle industry will rank sixth in the province. At the end of this year, Shulan City strives to raise 350,000 beef cattle, with an annual output of 190,000 heads and a beef cattle output value of 4 billion yuan.
In terms of improving the scale and standard of breeding, the city adopts the "whole village promotion and household feeding" model of "small scale and large group", and the beef cattle breeds are mainly Simmental and Yanbian beef cattle, supplemented by Charolais, Limousin, Angus, etc. Strive to build 10 new standardized breeding farms for fattening cattle this year, add 20,000 new fattening cattle, and add more than 10,000 new breeding cows.
In terms of improving the industrial chain and industrial upgrading, Shulan City has accelerated the transformation of large beef cattle production counties into beef transfer counties, and negotiated with Liaoning Hefeng, Jilin Desheng, Jiangsu Binhai Port, Henan Isai and other companies to promote the industrialization of 10,000 beef cattle. At present, more than 3 thousand beef cattle breeding bases have all started construction, of which Bailing Company and Honghao Company have carried out the main construction of two high-standard thousand cow breeding bases, which are scheduled to be completed in September, and the 1,000 fattening cattle breeding base of Xusheng Company has been basically completed and is planned to be put into breeding in September.
Under the strong impetus of the top level, the beef cattle industry in Shulan City has formed a beef cattle industry development belt dominated by 8 townships in the central and eastern regions such as Kaiyuan Town, and there are 7030 existing beef cattle farms (households), including 500 large-scale cattle farms, 6530 free-range cattle households, 15 cattle breeding professional villages, more than 100 beef cattle breeding economy people, and beef cattle output value accounting for about 50% of the total output value of animal husbandry.
In order to keep farmers away from the "difficulty of funds" troubles, in recent years, Shulan City has injected funds to set up a guarantee fund of 20 million yuan, which is magnified 10 times by the bank to provide farmers with a small business loan of 200 million yuan that can breed cows, and the loan households can enjoy full financial discounts. For large-scale cattle breeding enterprises, the Shulan Municipal Government has set up a risk compensation of 10 million yuan to implement the policy of "Ji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Loan" and "Jinnong E Loan" for live cattle mortgage. In order to solve the problem of manure treatment in villages (tuns) where breeding cows are concentrated, local finance fully subsidizes the construction of village-level livestock and poultry manure dumping stations.
"The company borrowed 5 million yuan through the 'Ji Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Loan' last year, and after enjoying half of the government's discount, it only paid 1.92% of the interest." In 2019, the company received a government subsidy of 30,000 yuan for the construction of dry septic tanks and 50,000 yuan for beef cattle breed improvement, which greatly solved the financial problem and let me have no worries. Xu Chunbao, head of Shulan Bofei Animal Husbandry Co., Ltd., told the author with full confidence.
In order to further strengthen the treatment of manure, Shulan City adopted a third-party centralized treatment model, introduced the cow manure fuel pellet processing plant of Shulan Tiande Shimiao Xiaoguang Agricultural Development Co., Ltd., and the enterprise signed a manure collection and transfer agreement with more than 100 beef cattle farmers, which can collect and treat more than 70 tons of manure per day. Shulan Xinyuan Company plans to invest 10 million yuan to build an organic fertilizer processing project with an annual output of 100,000 tons. 20 village-level livestock and poultry manure dumping stations in 7 townships (towns) in the Kacha River Basin have completed the site selection, and are currently planning and designing, and the construction is scheduled to be completed by the end of October.
"In the next step, the city will effectively increase the intensity of law enforcement supervision, set up a joint law enforcement team, conduct a comprehensive inspection of all rivers, and strictly rectify the direct discharge and illegal discharge of livestock and poultry manure." The whole process tracked the construction of 31 village-level livestock and poultry manure dump stations, and accelerated the construction of the organic fertilizer processing project with an annual output of 100,000 tons of Xinyuan Company. The person in charge of the Agricultural and Rural Bureau of Shulan City said.
