The Gannan yak industry has become an industry for the masses to enrich the people
The vast and fertile grassland pasture, suitable climatic conditions and natural environment, and the continuous development of animal husbandry by farmers and herdsmen for thousands of years have brought unique basic conditions for the high-quality development of the Gannan yak industry.
The yak industry is an important pillar of Gannan's industrial development, an important starting point for the implementation of the rural revitalization strategy, and an effective way for farmers and herdsmen to increase production and income. In recent years, Gannan Prefecture has actively explored resource endowments, accelerated the pace of high-quality development of the yak industry, increased project investment, strengthened technology research and development, and strived to build the Gannan yak brand. The animal husbandry and veterinary system of the whole state has fully implemented the work measures of "cultivating leaders, extending the chain, expanding the market, strengthening the base, bringing herdsmen, and promoting income increase", and regarded the high-quality development of the yak industry as a "breakthrough" and "new model" for the construction of a national agricultural green development pilot zone. With the unremitting efforts of the cadres and masses in the state, Gannan yak breeding, large-scale breeding, fine processing, serialized standards, brand marketing and other aspects have achieved good results, which has effectively promoted the high-quality development of the yak industry in the state, and the yak industry has become an enriching industry that accelerates local economic development, increases the income of the masses, and helps rural revitalization.
The calf breeding base of Zogai Manma Town, Cooperative City, through the introduction of Jersey cattle breeds and Meiren yak breeds for crossbreeding, produces improved breeds of Jersey calves, and improves the benefits of the Jersey cattle industry.
Dao Jicao, deputy secretary of the party branch of Meiwu Village, Zuogai Manma Town, Cooperative City, said: "The calf breeding base of Zogai Manma Town covers an area of 14.5 acres, and the breeding area includes 1,440 square meters of new greenhouses, 560 square meters of new cattle activity sheds, etc., and the breeding scale of the base has reached more than 200 heads. Our base produces high-quality Juan calf cattle through technical crossbreeding, complements the development chain of the yak industry in the cooperative city, further improves the slaughter rate, and drives the surrounding farmers and herdsmen to increase their income. ”
Increasing the income of farmers and herdsmen is the starting point and foothold of the high-quality development of the Gannan yak industry. Gannan yak industry adheres to the market-oriented, guides and supports leading enterprises and cooperatives and large breeders to form a yak industrialization consortium, deepens the communication mechanism between various stakeholders in the industry, and through the joint construction of raw material bases, sharing brand benefits, and normalized production and marketing docking, etc., the order breeding and acquisition model of "enterprise + base + cooperative + farmers and herdsmen" has been gradually improved, and the road for enterprises to continue to drive farmers and herdsmen to increase their income is getting wider and wider.
The Cooperative City Xinruifeng Plateau Cattle and Sheep Breeding and Planting Technology Development Farmer Professional Cooperative will introduce yak for house feeding and breeding from 2020, provide all-round support for yak industrial breeding from the aspects of breeding renewal, nutrition security, technical services, and epidemic prevention system construction, establish a benefit-sharing mechanism and business consortium with farmers, and increase the income of farmers and herdsmen through short-term yak house feeding and breeding.
Chang Zihuan, the person in charge of the new Ruifeng breeding cooperative, said: "Our cooperative actively carries out yak breeding, house feeding and breeding base based on the model of 'company + cooperative + farmer', and carries out breeding work in strict accordance with the management model of 'five unified points (unified raising of high-quality and high-breeding yaks, unified yak special feed, unified technical services, unified feeding standards, unified sales, and separate management)' to carry out breeding work, provide a full range of services for yak breeding demonstration bases and local farmers and herdsmen, and effectively improve the family income of the surrounding people. In 2023, our cooperatives will issue a total of 1.221 million yuan in various types of dividends, and the industry-driven labor income will cover 79 rural households, with a dividend amount of 13,800 yuan per household. ”
Xinruifeng Breeding Cooperative is a microcosm of the state's leading enterprises to increase the income of farmers and herdsmen. Focusing on the road of high-quality development of the yak industry, the whole state optimizes the structure of animal husbandry according to local conditions, digs deep into the potential, promotes and develops the yak industry, creates a high-quality development engine, and promotes the continuous efficiency of animal husbandry, the continuous increase of herdsmen's income, and the sustainable development of pastoral areas. In 2023, the state's leading agricultural industrialization enterprises will drive a total of 88,200 farmers and herdsmen, with an average income increase of 5,000 yuan.
Enterprises drive farmers and herdsmen, and increase income and get rich by industry. In the next step, Gannan Prefecture will continue to firmly grasp the policy opportunities for the high-quality development of the yak industry, continuously deepen the reform of animal husbandry, vigorously promote the cooperative business model of "enterprise + base + cooperative + farmers and herdsmen", and continue to develop and expand the yak breeding industry, so as to drive farmers and herdsmen to continue to increase their income and get rich, so that the Gannan yak industry will effectively become an enriching industry for farmers and herdsmen.
