On September 14, this reporter saw at the lake sheep farm in Gaozhuang Village, Qisi Town, Huaibin County, that Wang Jibin, a farmer, was busy putting feed, and the sheep on the side were "babbling."
In the local area, when Wang Jibin is mentioned, people call him "capable person". Because before he did not raise lake sheep, he raised cattle at home, and then went to Shanghai to work, during which time, he opened a restaurant and did engineering, and there were hardships and harvests along the way.
In 2017, under the inspiration of the spirit of "actively developing characteristic breeding projects and accelerating poverty alleviation and prosperity", he actively returned to his hometown to start a business under the spiritual inspiration of the party committee and government of Zhisi Town. After investigation and demonstration, he believes that the project of breeding and breeding lake sheep in his hometown is a good industry, and the lake sheep have a fast effect, high returns, and there is not much risk.
With the strong support of the two committees of the town and village, Wang Jibin built two breeding greenhouses that year and stocked more than 3,000 lake sheep.
According to reports, the lake sheep (sheep of the bovine family) is one of the important domestic animals in the Taihu Lake Plain, and it is also a domestic first-class protected local livestock and poultry breed. It is a rare white lambskin breed, with two litters a year, multiple lambs per litter, and fast growth and development. Lake sheep and traditional stupid sheep breeding are mainly different from captivity and free range farming. Lake sheep are docile and adaptable, especially suitable for captivity, and do not need to invest too much cost. Watching his carefully raised lake sheep spread joy in the pen, Wang Jibin was happy to blossom in his heart.
"The main feed eaten by lake sheep is crop straw, such as rice and wheat straw and peanuts, corn, sweet potato straw, etc. Lake sheep are easy to raise, produce more lambs, grow fast, have good economic benefits, and are not worried about sales." Wang Jibin pinched his finger to calculate an economic account for the reporter, "The ewe has to eat a thousand yuan of grass a year, the lamb is born for about 40 days, weaned and fed for another month, you can sell, you can give birth to 2 litters of 4 to 5 lambs a year, according to the production of 4 lambs, the male and female average down 1000 yuan a, can sell about 5000 yuan." ”
"The ewes are mainly bought by local farmers, small-scale free-range, and rams are sold all over the country. I have not encountered difficulties in selling this piece, and the market recognizes this sheep. In the interview, Wang Jibin's phone rang non-stop, asking him to buy lake sheep.
"Lake sheep manure can also be sold at a good price, and it is a superior fertilizer for melons, fruits and vegetables..." Wang Jibin said happily.
From the difficult choice at the beginning to the current logical, Wang Jibin has become broader and broader on the breeding road, and the prospects for breeding are promising. At present, the lambs have not yet reached the pen and have been driven away by the villagers. The farm now has more than 5,000 ewes and lambs, which can achieve an annual income of 2 million yuan.
Nowadays, driven by Wang Jibin, most of the farmers in Qisi Town breed 70 or 80 lake sheep, and as few as more than 10.
Autumn wind and autumn fruit, chrysanthemum crab fat. Walking on the country road, the sheep barking constantly along the way, a picture of the development of lake sheep breeding to become rich is pleasing to the eye.
