He Yahui, who graduated from West China Normal University, is a standard post-90s generation. Talking about her original intention of returning to her hometown to start a business, she said that by chance, she saw porcupines being farmed on CCTV Agricultural Channel. Special farming is different from traditional farming industry, so there will be no great market competition and the risk will not be too great. Before graduation, she had the idea of starting her own business. So during his internship before graduation, He Yahui went to a porcupine farm in Hunan to learn farming techniques.
However, the idea of keeping porcupines was opposed by grandparents at home. "They are the older generation. If they want to have a college student at home, they will definitely go to work in the city," He Yahui said. Fortunately, He Yahui's parents are very supportive, not only helping her convince the elderly, but also giving her more than 100,000 yuan in support to help her implement the current farm land.
He Yahui only bought more than 30 breeding pigs at first, but he faced many problems in the actual breeding process. She was puzzled that many newborn babies were either killed by sows or bitten to death. Later, by slowly observing, groping and learning, the problem was solved. These problems rarely appear in the second batch of repurchased breeding pigs.
Now for He Yahui, who is experienced in porcupine breeding, it is a worry-free thing to raise porcupines. As long as he gets up every morning to have a look, he only needs to feed twice a day and clean up the aquaculture pond once, and it only takes a few hours before and after. Moreover, after learning the breeding technology, her porcupine mortality rate is almost zero. He Yahui told reporters that although the porcupine looks inconspicuous, it is a delicious dish on the table. It is high in protein, low in fat and rich in nutrients such as calcium phosphate, and is known as "animal ginseng". At present, the porcupine breeding in Neijiang is still relatively unpopular, and it is more popular in some farmhouses and game restaurants. In addition, the thorns on the back of porcupines are also very useful. One is medicinal value, which can be soaked in wine or ground into powder after burning to treat burns; It can also be used to make hair clips, fishing gear and so on.
This year, He Yahui plans to continue to expand the scale of farming, which will bring more than 200 heads of growth. He Yahui introduced that in 20 16 years, more than 200 commercial pigs and 200 breeding pigs were sold. The average annual profit last year was around 300,000. At present, she also plans to set up a cooperative in the village to provide villagers with technology, seedlings and recycled finished pigs free of charge, so as to provide everyone with a way to get rich.
