In recent years, relying on the advantages of land resources and fishery resources, Yuzhong County has focused on the implementation of the "Ten Million Project", taking the improvement of farmers' quality of life as the focus of the construction of "Hemei Village", closely focusing on the idea of "improving quality and efficiency, green development, and ensuring supply", and steadily promoted the upgrading and transformation of farms, the introduction of new varieties, and the compulsory immunization of animal diseases.
Strengthen the introduction of new and excellent, scientific breeding to improve quality and efficiency
Gansu Junjin Agricultural Investment Co., Ltd., located in Sandunying Village, Licorice Town, exudes the aromatic aroma of slightly sour silage after fermentation under the light of the morning light.
The company covers an area of more than 200 acres, with a total of 7 fattening sheds and an annual slaughter of more than 700 heads. According to Xing Xuanzhou, a technician of the company, in order to improve the quality of beef cattle breeds from the source, the company vigorously introduced high-quality breeds such as Belgian Blue, Qinchuan and Charolai, and explored the establishment of a beef cattle breeding system in the purchase of advanced automation equipment, the introduction of professional breeding and epidemic prevention talents, and the formulation of scientific and reasonable feeding plans and management systems.
Since 2021, Yuzhong County has made unremitting efforts to improve livestock and poultry and fish varieties and introduce high-quality forage through the introduction of improved breeds, hybrid improvement, artificial breeding and other methods, which has greatly improved the rate of improved breeds of livestock and poultry fishery and promoted the continuous development of the county's animal husbandry and fishery economy. At present, a total of 10,000 dairy cows and 12,000 beef cattle have been improved, nearly 1,000 high-quality rams have been introduced, more than 20,000 local sheep have been crossbred and improved, more than 100 York, Landrace, Duroc and other boars have been introduced, and nearly 20,000 pigs have been artificially inseminated.
At the same time, steadily promote the upgrading and transformation of farms, renovate and expand more than 10 large-scale farms every year, and more than 500 large-scale farms (households) in the county.
Comprehensive utilization of straw, win-win green development of planting and breeding
"This beef is ruddy in color, firm in flesh, mellow in the mouth, very authentic and very tasty. Mr. Zeng, who was eating yak meat hot pot in the Horsebit Mountain Yak Meat Experience Center, said. The experience hall is located in Mapo Village at the foot of Mabit Mountain, where you can not only eat pure yak meat hot pot, but also eat whole beef feast, beef bubbles, original soup beef noodles and other delicacies. The beef here is produced by the local Shunwang Farming Cooperative. The cooperative's beef not only meets the needs of local people, but is also sold to Tianjin, Chongqing and other places.
The cooperative has 6 standardized cattle sheds, covering an area of 900 square meters, and 500 high-quality beef cattle. Using the local tail vegetables and Chinese herbal medicine straw resources, adding corn cob, wheat straw and microbial strain silage for fermentation, used as roughage, improve the utilization rate of tail vegetables, give full play to its nutritional value, and achieve the purpose of reducing feed costs, about 3,000 tons of straw and about 5,000 tons of tail vegetables can be consumed every year.
Yuzhong County is located in the golden breeding belt at 35-36 degrees north latitude, with a warm climate and humid environment, and mountains, rivers and plateaus. The unique natural living conditions, a complete traceability system, a scientific beef cattle health care system, and a breeding method combining modernization and primitive life have created high-quality beef.
It is understood that in order to explore a new way of comprehensive utilization of straw, Yuzhong County in accordance with the "government guidance + enterprise leadership + farmer participation" mode of operation, follow the principle of proximity to the local, comprehensively promote the utilization of straw feed, with beef cattle, sheep and other herbivore farms as the focus, with Chinese herbal medicine straw, vegetable tails, corn straw and other raw materials, the establishment of "straw-feed-fertilizer" technical mode, through the bottleneck of straw utilization industry development, effectively solve the problem of straw burning pollution and other problems. It not only increases the income of farmers, but also allows breeding enterprises to find high-quality and low-cost cattle and sheep feed, and plays a positive role in land and environmental protection, stringing up a closed-loop ecological cycle industrial chain to achieve a "win-win" situation for farmers, enterprises and ecology.
Up to now, the livestock and poultry manure treatment capacity of Yuzhong County has reached more than 1.4 million tons, with a utilization rate of more than 86.5%, the comprehensive utilization of crop straw is 118,000 tons, and the utilization rate has reached more than 90%, and the tail vegetables in the production link have been returned to the field 250,000 mu, and the tail vegetables in the circulation link have been treated and utilized 160,000 tons, and the utilization rate of tail vegetables in the county has reached more than 80%.
Consolidate the responsibility of epidemic prevention, and the supply of products is stable and safe
In order to ensure the sustainable and healthy development of animal husbandry in the jurisdiction, since the beginning of spring, the Animal Epidemic Control Center of Yuzhong County has made every effort to do a good job in vaccination, disinfection and source elimination, disease detection, prevention and control technical guidance, personnel technical training, epidemic prevention material reserves, etc., and strictly implement various epidemic prevention measures to ensure that no major regional animal epidemics occur.
Yuzhong County takes townships and towns as the basic unit, implements animal epidemic prevention grid management, and builds a "two-level and three-layer" animal epidemic prevention supervision system of county technicians and townships, township and village leaders and village epidemic prevention workers. In accordance with specific tasks, formulate a list of responsibilities, strengthen performance appraisal, and strictly honor rewards and punishments. Form a full-coverage supervision pattern of "one network for the whole county, grid in the network, post according to the grid, people in the grid, and things in the network" for animal epidemic prevention work. Adhere to the combination of programmed immunization of large-scale farms and centralized immunization and monthly supplementation of free-range households in spring and autumn, and the herd immunity density of compulsory immunization of animal diseases is maintained at more than 90% all year round, and the immunization density of livestock and poultry should reach 100%.
From the key links such as breeding, slaughtering, transportation, and landing, Yuzhong County regularly conducts environmental sampling and testing on farm households, slaughterhouses, harmless treatment points, and burial points of sick and dead livestock and poultry, so as to effectively strengthen source purification, eliminate the source of infection, and reduce the risk of animal epidemic occurrence and transmission. On this basis, we should pay close attention to the supervision of animal disease prevention and control, livestock and poultry fishery production, fixed-point slaughtering, veterinary drugs and feed additives, and the quality and safety of fresh milk, and regularly carry out "clenbuterol" sample testing. Build a strong animal disease immunity barrier to ensure animal food safety.
In terms of fishery, Yuzhong County makes full use of water resources, introduces 800,000-1 million seedlings of conventional species such as grass carp, silver carp and bighead carp every year, introduces 60,000 new species of famous and special aquatic products such as California perch, Songpu koi, Furui carp and Wuchang fish, and introduces 1 million to 1.4 million vannamei shrimp every year, and guides enterprises to carry out successful research on Lanzhou catfish breeding, breeding more than 100,000 Lanzhou catfish fry every year, and improves the economic benefits of fishery by optimizing the structure of aquaculture species.
At the same time, it will build an important industrial base for the integrated development of primary, secondary and tertiary industries such as cold chain logistics, recreational fishery, technology research and development, demonstration and promotion, brand building, and facility agriculture construction; Qingcheng has more than 500 acres of empty ponds and 2,000 acres of abandoned saline-alkali land, planting saline-alkali resistant rice, promoting the integrated planting and breeding model of rice and fish, and improving comprehensive benefits.
In the first quarter, the number of livestock and poultry breeding in Yuzhong County reached 1.95 million heads, of which 524,900 were slaughtered, with a growth rate of 2.3%, the egg output was 2,912 tons, with a growth rate of 10%, the milk output was 2,026 tons, with a growth rate of 18.9%, and the output value of animal husbandry was 261 million yuan, with an added value of 167 million yuan.
