Spring and Jingming, everything germinates.

In the poverty alleviation and breeding base of Touba Village, Dongzhai Town, Yongchang County, Jinchang City, the newly built high-standard sheep houses in the backyards of every household are open and neat, and the lambs are fat and strong.

"This is a lake sheep, and they are taller and have a brighter coat color than ordinary sheep." Zhang Xiyun, chairman of Gansu Yuansheng Agriculture and Animal Husbandry Technology Co., Ltd., who signed a breeding agreement with farmers, introduced, "The lake sheep that have been improved and promoted are very popular with farmers. ”

Yongchang County is rich in water and grass, and has a tradition of raising sheep since ancient times. In recent years, Yongchang County has taken the bigger and stronger sheep industry as the pillar industry to lead the masses to get rid of poverty and get rich, and has expanded the scale of breeding and brand awareness by improving breeds, supporting leading enterprises, government subsidies to sheep farmers to build new breeding sheds, brand promotion, etc., forming a complete industrial chain from pasture planting, feed processing, high-fertility ewe breeding to live sheep market construction, mutton product development, e-commerce and organic fertilizer production, and built the largest amount of breeding in the northwest region, the best quality of sheep, The breeding and supply base of lake sheep with a high level of breeding technology makes the sheep industry a pillar industry that supports the dream of the masses to get rich.

"In the past, farmers raised sheep free-range, but after changing to house feeding, the cost increased, the income of farmers and herdsmen dropped significantly, and many sheep farms and farmers suffered losses." Qi Shangrong, deputy governor of Yongchang County, introduced. Problems such as decentralized breeding, low efficiency and specialization, low brand awareness, poor market information and sales, and "high quality but not good price" of products once restricted the development of the Yongchang sheep industry and dampened the enthusiasm of farmers.

In order to help farmers catch the fast train of the aquaculture industry to get rich, Yongchang County actively solves the development problems, relies on regional industrialization promotion, based on all-round R & D investment, takes standardized production and brand operation as the core, and explores the development path of scale, science and technology, standardization and branding industry of "company + base + farmer".

"In the past, no matter how high the price of mutton was, it was difficult for free-range farmers to taste the sweetness. One is because the amount of inventory is small, large orders cannot be received; the second is the lack of brand, there is no influence in the market. Yang Maolu, a large breeder in Xincheng Sub-town, Yongchang County, told reporters, "Now that the village has built a breeding base and signed an acquisition agreement with a large-scale aquaculture processing enterprise in the county, we have not worried about sales, but also have free technical guidance and a unified brand, and the income is much higher than in the past." ”

Relying on the technical advantages of Northwest A&F University, Gansu Agricultural University and other scientific research institutions, Yongchang County has established a modern meat and sheep industry technology experimental demonstration area, introduced lake sheep and high-quality meat sheep breeds such as Bodedai, Bai Safok, DuBo, etc., concentrated on embryo transfer, adopted intensive lambing technology to expand breeding sheep, popularized and applied experimental results, and built a county, township and village three-level meat and sheep hybrid improvement and promotion system, which greatly improved the lambing rate of ewes and reduced breeding costs. At present, the county has improved more than 150,000 meat sheep every year.

In Yongchang County Xiyuan Meat Processing Co., Ltd., the reporter saw that workers were cutting the fresh lamb that had just completed the acid drainage.

"A whole sheep can sell for up to 1,000 yuan at the market price, but after segmentation and classification, the price of lamb chops sold for lamb chops, and the price of leg of lamb sold for leg of lamb, the price is double the price of the whole sale."

Qi Shangrong introduced: "These lamb products are high-quality green and safe food. In order to improve the quality of mutton, the county has incorporated the main body of meat and sheep breeding production and processing into the breeding standardization supervision system, strengthened supervision and law enforcement, strictly controlled the use of veterinary drugs, feed additives and other inputs, improved the breeding files, expanded the scope of traceability, and ensured the quality and safety of meat and sheep products. ”

In the Yongchang County E-commerce Industrial Park, Yongchang mutton has become one of the most popular products among netizens.

With the help of the "signboard" of the national agricultural product quality and safety county, Yongchang County has focused on building the public brand of "Yongchang Meat Sheep", guiding meat and sheep production, processing and sales enterprises to use the main logo of "Yongchang Meat And Sheep", vigorously supporting e-commerce enterprises to carry out network marketing, supporting breeding enterprises, processing enterprises, transportation and marketing enterprises in the county to establish long-term cooperative relations with large and medium-sized city sales enterprises inside and outside the province, focusing on improving the market share and brand influence of "Yongchang Meat Sheep", forming Xiyuan "Qilian Tianbao" and Yuansheng "Sour Lamb" And a number of green meat and sheep enterprise brands with strong competitiveness, high added value and good reputation.

Driven by the radiation demonstration of large enterprises and breeding bases, the scale of meat and sheep breeding in Yongchang County has expanded rapidly.
