In Shehu Village, Cenxi City, Guangxi, "Chicken Commander" Liang Fucan is a household name. Three years ago, Liang Fucan started his chicken raising business. Thanks to the help of many parties and his own efforts, Liang Fucan's chicken raising business gradually developed and became famous in the local area.

The rise of chicken farming in Shehu Village is not accidental. There are many mountains and dense forests here, providing a natural environment for chickens to breed. Chickens grown in such an environment have large space for movement, sufficient light and exercise, and the chicken tastes chewy, delicious and has high nutritional value.
“I raised 10,000 chickens in the beginning, and technical experts gave me professional guidance on chicken house management, animal nutrition, feed formula, animal diseases and other professional knowledge.” Today, Liang Fucan raises up to 30,000 three-yellow chickens every year, with an annual net income of more than 150,000 yuan. RMB.
Raising chickens is a technical job. In order to keep the chicken meat fresh and tender, the native chickens raised by Liang Fucan generally eat healthy foods such as corn, vegetable leaves, sweet potatoes, pumpkins and rice, and use some Chinese herbal medicines to prevent and treat diseases. The breeding time is as long as 6 months, and the meat is delicious, tender and delicious.

"Experts told me that you have to be diligent in raising chickens and you have to constantly observe the status of the chickens." Liang Fucan kept these words in mind. Every morning at dawn, he would get up and observe the chickens for any abnormalities. In addition to timely remediation of abnormal situations in chickens, he also pays great attention to disease prevention and control, feed security, etc. "The chicken house must be kept dry, ventilated, and disinfected regularly. The hygienic environment will directly affect the healthy growth of chickens."
"With tens of thousands of chickens on the chicken farm, a huge amount of chicken manure will be produced every day." Liang Fucan has a good way of making money. He and his workers process the chicken manure into organic fertilizer and sell it for "realization".
In terms of sales, the social protection village has established a long-term cooperative relationship with a local company. The company provides farmers with a series of services such as chicks, feed, technical training, chicken disease prevention and control drugs, and broiler chicken buyback. After the broiler chickens are repurchased, the company will uniformly sell them to Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao. This model not only simplifies the sales process, but also opens up a broad market for broiler chickens.
"Free-range chickens have a long history and cultural heritage in Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao, and are an important part of the local traditional food culture." Liang Fucan said that every year, more than 1 million free-range chickens go from social protection villages to the Guangdong, Hong Kong and Macao markets, and are highly consumed. favored by those. For consumers, tasting free-range chicken has the taste of childhood and can fill their hearts with "nostalgia."

Liang Fucan said frankly that the "Getting Rich" experience in Shehu Village has inspired many villagers to join the chicken industry, injecting new vitality into the local economic development. "After the Spring Festival, I plan to expand the scale, increase the number of chickens to more than 20,000, continue to expand sales channels, and drive more people on the road to increasing income and becoming rich." Liang Fucan said.
"I hope my chicken farm can provide more people with nearby employment opportunities in the future." Now, Liang Fucan, who has made a "chicken fortune", has not forgotten to send "chicken" blessings to the villagers. Liang Fucan said that he would help local people improve their chicken-raising skills and knowledge and improve their living conditions. "I hope to make it bigger and stronger together with everyone, and strive for a well-off society together."
Today, the chicken farming industry in Shehu Village is gradually transforming into "smart" farming. Many farmers have begun to introduce modern breeding equipment and technology to improve production efficiency and product quality. At the same time, the village is also actively exploring cooperation with e-commerce platforms to expand sales channels and further enhance the market competitiveness of its products.
Pang Weiguang, Secretary of the General Party Branch and Village Director of the Social Security Village, said that in the future, the Social Security Village will continue to use chicken raising as its pillar industry and continuously promote industrial upgrading and transformation. It is hoped that in the near future, the social protection village will transform from a "chicken-raising village" in Guangxi to a "chicken-raising demonstration village" in China. (over)
