In early autumn, walking into the Canopy Animal Husbandry Modern Agricultural Park in Shuangxi Village, Songjia Town, the lush mountain forest, the wild chrysanthemums blooming in the mountains swaying with the wind, the babbling stream, and the fresh mountain wind can't help but make people feel relaxed.
"In autumn, the wild walnuts, chestnuts and kiwi fruits on the mountain are the favorite foods of the Parmesan pig, the farm is located in the Hougao MountainOus Area, there are many kinds of forest plants, only Chinese herbal medicines are dozens of species, and the sweet mountain springs are continuous all year round, which is a natural big pasture."
Li Yutang, the person in charge of the canopy animal husbandry modern agricultural park who is in the early Chinese New Year's Eve, said that the fragrant piglets carry out the necessary immunization and epidemic prevention, and after raising them for 2 months, they begin to stock after a period of adaptive training, usually in addition to feeding a small amount of bud grain, sweet potatoes, and vegetables, they basically eat wild fruits, insects, and wild grasses in the forest, and drink mountain spring water, which can be described as "walking between mountains and rivers, looking for natural food", which not only saves the cost of breeding, but also improves the pig's disease resistance and the quality of pork. The pig manure produced also provides excellent organic fertilizer for the plants in the forest, avoids the damage of breeding to the ecological environment, and realizes the sustainable development of ecological cycle.
Through nearly a year of ecological stocking, a black and white flower, short and strong, full of wild Parmesan fragrant pigs weigh mostly about 120 or 30 pounds, and they can be listed on the stock.
Li Yutang said: "The first association with bama xiang pig originated from a visit and study in 2016, after tasting fragrant pork, I learned that "Bama Xiang pig" is a specialty of Guangxi Bama Yao Autonomous County, which is a high-quality and precious and rare small pig breed, which is mainly based on herbivorous materials, resistant to roughage, tender meat, rich in nutrition, and is known as the "famous nobleman" of pigs. After several inspections in Bama County, Guangxi, he finally made up his mind to invest more than 100,000 yuan to introduce Bama fragrant pig breeding. ”
The first introduction to the Baihe Bama Xiang pig due to the lack of adaptation to the environment and the lack of breeding technology, less than half of the time lost more than half, but Li Yutang is not discouraged, good at studying and learning him, on the one hand through online learning, on the one hand to the county Agricultural and Rural Bureau animal husbandry technology experts humbly ask for advice, after more than a year of careful feeding, Bama Xiang pig gradually adapted to the local environment, Li Yutang also gradually mastered the life habits and breeding technology of xiang pigs, starting from the successful breeding of the first nest of fragrant piglets, After nearly 6 years of development, now his farm has been able to breed more than 50 sows, breeding boars 4, more than 400 annual fattening pigs, due to the original ecological stocking and fragrant pork bone fine skin crisp, delicious and sweet, attracting diners every year early to place orders, small fragrant pigs have also become a "sought-after goods".
Traditional breeding has achieved characteristic industries, under the cultivation and support of the county agricultural and rural bureau, in 2020, his family farm was identified as a "provincial demonstration family farm" by the Provincial Department of Agriculture and Rural Affairs, and Li Yutang was also identified as a "medium-level high-quality farmer", becoming the leader in the team of high-quality farmers in Baihe. Through land circulation, park work, the development of pigs, tea, tianma, konjac and other characteristic industries, more than 30 surrounding households have been driven to increase their income and become rich.
"Next year, I will continue to expand the scale of breeding, through the development of tea, gastrodia and konjac, together with the breeding of Parmesan fragrant pigs, and strive to create a leisure and tourism characteristic agriculture that integrates the three industries, and when tourists come to enjoy the green waters and green mountains here, they can also taste the original ecological Bama fragrant pork, and truly achieve the goal of rejuvenating the industry and enriching the people." In the conversation, Li Yutang's heart was full of infinite expectations and expectations for the future development of his hometown.
