Chapter 64: Pig Farming on a Large Scale



All breeders and village secretaries attended, as well as experts from the animal husbandry station and agricultural college.

The participants first visited Yuanda's standardized modern pig farm, and then held a meeting on the open space of the pig farm.

At the meeting, animal husbandry experts from the Agricultural College explained the key points of pig epidemic prevention and control in spring, fattening period, late pregnancy and lactation period, and gave detailed explanations to farmers in advance on issues such as disinfection of pens after pigs are slaughtered.

The livestock station manager has requirements for commercial pigs to be marketed, which are nothing more than weight, feeding, etc., and makes a good prediction about the prospects of the pig farming market.

Yuanda Meat Processing Plant CEO Yang Weiguo announced at a meeting that starting in May, the plant would be open to purchasing Landrace pigs. As long as they met commercial pig standards, they would be offered a 10% premium over the market price. This shocked farmers, who were surprised by the price—they could earn an extra 20 or 30 yuan per pig.

At the meeting of the directors of the Honghua Township Credit Union, it was stated that as long as households apply to expand the scale of pig farming, the village provides breeding sites, and the agricultural college experts approve the breeding technology, they can provide low-interest loans of 2,000-4,000 yuan. The credit union has coordinated a total of 800,000 yuan in funds from other places, and first come first served.

At one time, more than 200 large-scale pig farms were built in Honghua Township. Households that had previously been on the sidelines and had not participated in pig farming were now scolded by their wives and asked to clean up the pig pens and prepare to start raising pigs.

However, if you want to sign up to raise pigs or expand the scale this time, you must first register the number of pigs to be raised, and pay 60 yuan per head in advance before you can receive piglets.

Sorry, no piglets if you don’t pay.

Based on the registration situation, Sun Zongyu asked the Agricultural College to urgently mobilize more than 10,000 piglets from across the province and send them to Honghua Township after May 1st.

Yuanda Feed Factory also urgently dispatched corn and soybean meal from Northeast China, along with dead fish and rotten shrimp from fishing ports, bringing its daily production capacity to 30 tons. Sun Zongyuan then arranged for Wu Shaojie to order more production equipment, aiming to reach an annual output of 50,000 tons by the end of the year, further boosting production capacity and promoting the development of the pig farming industry.
