　　In the early morning of February 1, villagers from Hezhai Street, who work at Haomin Farm in Lintong District, Xi'an City, Shaanxi Province, entered the factory one after another. After a series of disinfection and protection, they started a busy day in the rabbit house.

　　"These few days are the critical stage when the breeding rabbits need to be carefully cared for after giving birth. Everyone is busy taking care of the rabbits' confinement!" Fu Hongwei, the person in charge of Haomin Farm, introduced that apart from the common Meat rabbits such as Yila, Yigaole, and Big-eared White, as well as pet rabbits such as Dutch Dwarf Rabbit, Mini Lop-eared Rabbit, Panda Rabbit, and Giant Flower Rabbit.

　　"Each breeding rabbit can produce about 10 young rabbits every 45 days on average, and the young rabbits can grow to 4.5 to 5.5 catties after 65 to 70 days of birth, and then they can be sold." Speaking of these days When caring about the rabbit, Fu Hongwei couldn't finish talking.

　　"In the past, meat rabbits were all free-range, and centralized breeding can better control costs and increase profits." Fu Hongwei, who likes raising animals since childhood, has seen the strong reproductive ability of rabbits, short breeding cycle, and quick industrial results. , The characteristics of the market are good, and I hope to use my hobbies to realize more value.

　　In October 2019, Fu Hongwei invested more than 5 million yuan in the construction of a modern and large-scale farm, and became the "rabbit brother" in the eyes of the villagers.

　　"Currently, the farm covers an area of ​​75 mu. There are 13 rabbit houses, 6,000 breeding rabbits, and an annual slaughter of 400,000 rabbits. According to the current market price of 11 yuan per catty, the income is considerable." Fu Hongwei said, modern breeding After the farm was completed, it has developed into a comprehensive agricultural and animal husbandry enterprise integrating meat rabbit breeding and sales, breeding rabbit production and management, feed production and sales, and technical services. The output value is about 5 million yuan, and the annual fixed employment is more than 20. people, driving people in surrounding areas to work and get rich.

　　In the rabbit house, Zhou Xiaoxiang, a breeder in overalls, is working hard.

"I used to rely on farming and doing odd jobs, and my income was unstable. Since the establishment of this base, I have come to work here. I can take care of my children outside of working hours every day, and I have a fixed income of more than 3,000 yuan a month." Zhou Xiaoxiang is satisfied. To put it bluntly, villagers can not only work in the farms at their doorstep, but also receive rabbit seedlings as substitutes. Driven by the rabbit breeding industry, many villagers have lived a good life.

　　Today, driven by "Brother Rabbit" Fu Hongwei, the small rabbit breeding industry has gradually become the main local industry.

It is understood that in 2022, the monthly sales volume of the farm will be about 15,000 rabbits, and it will help villagers sell about 10,000 meat rabbits throughout the year, and it will also be exported to Sichuan, Chongqing, Guangdong and other places.

　　Large-scale farming not only reduces the cost of farming, but also allows Fu Hongwei to taste the sweetness brought by scientific farming.

Walking into the farm, the environmental control system, sewage treatment system, and biological fertilizer fermentation tank are all refreshing.

　　"Rabbit manure is rich in nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium, and a variety of trace elements and vitamins. It is a good choice for organic fertilizers. However, the treatment of rabbit manure has always been a difficult problem in meat rabbit breeding in the past." In order to solve this problem, Fu Hongwei established Xi'an Sanmin Agricultural Circular Development Co., Ltd., built a 50-acre vegetable greenhouse base, developed a comprehensive project of green ecological circular agricultural industry chain, collected rabbit manure in a centralized manner, and processed it in a harmless manner for the vegetable and other planting industries. Development provides organic fertilizers.

　　"Kale seedlings are 8 yuan per catty, and wheatgrass is 6.5 yuan per catty...Now the farms not only have a shortage of meat rabbits, but also the vegetable base has been recognized by the market and consumers for the high-quality vegetables produced by using rabbit manure organic fertilizer." Fu According to Hong Wei, the “raw material” of rabbit manure produced by the farm every day is not only used for fermentation in the vegetable base, but the excess is also purchased by the organic fertilizer factory, which increases the income of more than 1,000 yuan per day.

Rabbit manure turns waste into treasure, realizes the resource utilization and reduction of rabbit manure, and also serves as a natural organic fertilizer to provide quality assurance for vegetable cultivation.

　　"Our agricultural goal is to explore an ecological cycle farming model, lengthen the industrial chain, and allow more people to enjoy the fruits of high-quality agricultural development." When it comes to the future, Fu Hongwei still has many grand dreams. In August, the second-phase construction of the farm will be completed, and it will try to combine with rural tourism to develop a new business model of "animal husbandry + tourism", expand rabbit breeding to tourism and research, so that the rural revitalization of "animal" will flourish and "rabbit" will advance by leaps and bounds .
