Lei Guangguo and his wife worked together to build a Xingshu family farm
In 2015, Lei Guangguo returned to his hometown to start a business and started an ecological breeding of black chicken in the mountains, and once the products were put on the market, they were favored by consumers and the supply exceeded demand. In 2019, the farm sold more than 2,000 finished black chickens, 6,000 chicks, and more than 20,000 black eggs, with sales income of 350,000 yuan. "Zhiqing" Lei Guangguo returned to his hometown after nearly 40 years to start a business, and interpreted with practical actions that "going to the countryside, the vast world has great achievements!" "The meaning of the new era ...
In 1976, after graduating from Lei Guangguo High School, he was sent to the Daguan Hexing Community in Nanchuan District as a "Zhiqing". The local people are simple and hospitable, and the young Lei Guangguo is illuminated by the villagers everywhere, and every family will invite him to taste anything delicious. Lei Guangguo felt the warmth of the silk and engraved it in his heart. After the resumption of the college entrance examination, Lei Guangguo was admitted to college and returned to the city. After graduating from university, he entered a foreign trade company in Chongqing and worked for decades.

Lei Guangguo has always been grateful for his years of youth, and has maintained contact with the villagers for many years, occasionally returning to visit the villagers. During the exchange, many villagers reflected to Lei Guangguo that the current rural areas lack vitality, can not find a way to increase income, can only leave the hometown to work, and urgently need to change the status quo of the leader of getting rich. After learning about the situation in the village, Lei Guangguo began to consult the relevant agricultural policies and seriously consider what his expertise and resources could do for the village. In the 1980s, Chongqing sent a group of college students to the township as deputy township chiefs of science and technology poverty alleviation, and Lei Guangguo was also selected, who once received 8 months of professional training in animal husbandry and veterinary medicine at Southwest Agricultural University, and had a certain knowledge base in the aquaculture industry. Once, Lei Guangguo's brother brought back a black chicken from the old courtyard from Wanyuan, Sichuan, and gave it to him. This old courtyard black chicken is very distinctive, known for its black feathers with emerald green luster, upi, and green shell eggs. The special effects of black chicken such as nourishment and health care are in line with the new needs of the current citizens to change from eating well to "eating well, eating well, and eating out". Therefore, Lei Guangguo had plans to return to his hometown to breed black chickens.
In 2015, Lei Guangguo returned to Nongsheng Village in Fushou Town, transferred 60 acres of idle wasteland to raise chickens, and registered a Xingshu fruit and vegetable planting family farm. Here the mountains and rivers are beautiful, the vegetation is abundant, and the soil and water sources are pollution-free.
Considering that the breeding industry will produce a certain amount of manure, Lei Guangguo realized from the moment of establishing the farm that it must not take the traditional old road, and only by taking the road of green ecological breeding can it continue to develop, so he purchased a set of fermentation bed chicken technology patents from the Sichuan Academy of Agricultural Sciences at a high price.
After the chicken coop was built, peach trees, plum trees and other fruit trees were planted in the field. Free-range black chicken during the day to ensure that the chicken gets enough exercise in nature, eat grass and catch insects, but also save feed costs; when it gets dark, the black chicken returns to the dry and comfortable fermentation bed pen, sleeping in it is not easy to get sick, improving the life welfare of the chicken.
Fermentation bed for raising chickens
"Fermentation bed chickens, has great advantages, one is that the water consumption is only 1/8 of the traditional chicken; the second is that it does not need to spend a lot of time and labor to clean chicken manure, which greatly solves the problem of insufficient labor; the third is the sawdust, chaff and chicken manure on the fermentation bed, under the action of up to 19 kinds of probiotics, gradually fermented and decomposed into edible protein and farm manure containing nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements, not only saving 10% to 15% of grain, but also using the remaining fermentation as the base fertilizer for cultivating fruit trees and rice. Cultivate fertility, improve soil structure, and avoid the application of chemical fertilizers. Lei Guangguo introduced, "There are more and more people in the city who like to raise flowers, and I plan to make the excess fermentation fertilizer into a convenient and beautiful granular flower fertilizer to improve its added value." ”
"Is the input of the fermentation bed high?" The reporter asked.
"Lower input costs. According to the area, the cost of the fermentation bed raw material sawdust and chaff per cubic meter is 40 yuan and 30 yuan respectively, which can make 5 square meters of standard fermentation beds, and the input of beneficial bacteria required for each square fermentation bed is four or five yuan, adding up to the cost of a square meter of fermentation bed is less than 20 yuan, and a single investment can be used for five5 years. Make a fermentation bed pen, do not have to harden the ground, if there is a peculiar smell after a long time, just need to supplement the beneficial bacteria appropriately to solve. Lei Guangguo explained.
Fushou black chicken
The reporter walked through the rows of neatly planned chicken coops and broods on the farm, did not see a bubble of chicken manure, did not smell any peculiar smell, let alone flies, mosquitoes, the whole chicken coop was kept very clean.
"Under the background of increasingly stringent environmental protection requirements for aquaculture in various places, this ecological breeding model of Xingshu Farm is worth vigorously promoting." The eggs and black chickens of Xingshu Farm fully meet the production requirements of pollution-free agricultural products. The staff of the Nanchuan District Agricultural Products Quality and Safety Center said in an interview with reporters.
"The first batch of chickens on the farm was introduced from Wanyuan. In order to ensure the purity of the chicken breeds introduced, I also went to the deep mountains of Wanyuan, Sichuan Province, and bought the chicken seeds from the farmers at a price of 90 yuan per kilogram. Lei Guangguo told reporters while taking reporters to visit the chicken coop. Since then, Lei Guangguo has successively inspected some famous native chickens in other places, such as "Taihe Black Chicken", "Muchuan Black Bone Chicken", "Three Gorges Five Black Chicken" and other breeds, and found that they have their own advantages and disadvantages.
"The Three Gorges black chicken is small, the disadvantage is that the adult chicken weighs only more than 1 kilogram, and the advantage is that the green shell egg rate is as high as 99%; the black chicken hen in the old courtyard is about 2 kilograms, but the green shell egg rate is not high; the Muchuan black chicken can grow to about 3 kilograms, and the size is large, but it is not easy to sell on the market."
In order to bring together the advantages of several local chicken breeds, Lei Guangguo tried to cross the three varieties of "Three Gorges Five Black Chicken", "Muchuan Black Bone Chicken" and "Old Courtyard Black Chicken". After 5 years of multi-generation breeding, Lei Guangguo successfully bred a new breed with stable genetic performance and named it Fushou Wu Chicken; in order to build a brand, it also registered a trademark.
Self-bred Fushou black chicken weighs moderately, adult chicken in about 2 kg, very suitable for urban small family consumption, the current market unified selling price of 150 yuan / only; green shell egg rate of more than 85%, according to the detection contains a variety of trace elements beneficial to the human body, egg yolk is orange, thick, thick, thick protein, tender, very easy to be digested and absorbed by the human body, according to a sale, 3 yuan a.
Black eggs
Today, Xingshu Farm is the largest chicken farm in Fushou Town, which has led more than a dozen nearby farmers to join the breeding of Fushou Black Chicken. For poor households in Jianka, Lei Guangguo also gave away chicken seedlings for free and recycled them; those who did not want to raise chickens could also go to the farm to work.
"The farm has done a very good job in standardized and scientific production, and Fushou native chicken and green shell eggs have applied for pollution-free agricultural product certification, and are starting to apply for the use of green food marks." I hope to obtain the license to use the public brand of 'Ba Wei Yu Zhen' in Chongqing as soon as possible. Xu Xiaohua, director of the Nanchuan District Agricultural Product Quality and Safety Center, fully affirmed and encouraged the achievements of Xingshu Farm.
"In the past five years, I have a deep affection for this land, and the countryside has also provided me with a platform to play my own strengths, I believe that knowledge and technology still have its value and market in the countryside, and what the countryside needs at present is more knowledgeable and technical youth to join." The old "Zhiqing" with a gentle voice and active thinking told reporters.
Although Lei Guangguo is over 60 years old, he is still called "youth" by the villagers, because of the youth he stayed here, but also because of the light and heat emitted by his "Year of the Flower Armor", which brought vitality and hope to the village.
