"Brothers compete?" "Just compete, who is afraid of who?"

"My chicken can't catch it at all during the day"

"My chickens are too fierce, and none of them are vegetarians." When talking about their dynamic beauty and taste bud pioneers, Yang Jinde, a large Xuefeng black-bone chicken breeder, was half proud and half heroic, and said to the reporter vividly, "They all run on the mountain during the day, react quickly, and they can't catch it at all. They can only catch it when the chicken is bright in the morning and the evening is 'blind'." After this statement was made, the reporter had to be impressed by his eloquence and his skill in "image publicity". Yang Jinde has been engaged in the breeding of Xuefeng black bone chickens for 11 years. He gets up at four or five o'clock every morning, and basically does not have a few days to rest all year round. Even during the Spring Festival, even on New Year's Eve, chickens still need to "eat" and have to improve the "food" standards and improve the happiness index. At this moment, they certainly need to be taken care of and comforted. Over the years, Yang Jinde has only raised Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken. His sales channels are smooth and stable. Live chickens do not have to worry about sales in the local market. The current wholesale price is 40 yuan/kg, and there is no need to bargain. As of mid-September this year, he has sold more than 5,000 finished chickens, and there are still more than 4,000.

Yang Jinde's breeding farm is in Hengyan Village, Hengyan Township, Hongjiang District. There is a large bamboo forest there. The chickens play in the bamboo forest all day long, jumping up and down, and live a fairy life before going to the dining table. I don’t know whether it was intentionally ignored or forgotten, but he never named the farm. Because he couldn't get along with him alone, he also hired a helper.

is condescending, calm and relaxed

Under normal circumstances, Yang Jinde usually slaughters snow-capped black bone chickens every year, and the stock is mostly around seven or eight thousand feathers. Due to the impact of the new crown pneumonia epidemic, the stocks this year are the smallest. He also fed hundreds of pigs, and when he used to have more than 200 pigs in stock. After his black bone chicken was raised, fixed customers came to pick up the goods. Each customer transferred at least fifty or sixty pigs and as much as 200 pigs per day. There was a villa near the farm, which was also his big customer. The black bone chicken breeding can bring him about 120,000 yuan in income every year. I remember that in the first year of raising black bone chickens, there were six three-yellow chickens fed to an elderly couple near the farm. As a result, he was infected with the 2,000 Xuefeng black bone chickens that he had worked hard for more than 4 months and could slaughter money in a short time. More than 700 of them did not resist the invasion of the virus and were wiped out in a flash, causing direct economic losses of more than 20,000 yuan. The "Chicken Commander" who fell into the pit when he was just starting out has a memory. From then on, he has been waiting for the opportunity to open his eyes all day long, preventing problems in everything before it happens, and has never encountered the invasion of large-scale chicken plague again.

Yang Jinde, who was first "Pig Commander" and then "Chicken Commander", learned from the examples, and he tried while trying, and soon developed a unique skill for raising Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken. Around 2018, he also participated in breeding technology training organized by the local human resources and social security department and benefited a lot. When he had any questions, he would ask for help from the animal husbandry department, and the other party would send someone to the door in time to solve his problems.

"Jiuwoo" has made a big "chicken nest"

towering snow peaks are magnificent and magical. Guo Xiaojing, a Guizhou wife who has been living in Hunan for more than ten years, slowly opens her every morning in the beautiful mountains and rivers; every evening in her every evening is closed in the pink and red glow. Guo Xiaojing's diligent and fulfilling days are accompanied by the snow-capped black-bone chickens who sometimes bow their heads and whisper and sometimes raise their heads and sing loudly, or savor the long singing and scenes, and the winding paths pass through the quiet peaks.

Guo Xiaojing's Jiwoo Ecological Breeding Professional Cooperative was established in 2015. It currently has 68 members and is tied to more than 240 farmers. They mainly come from Xima, Tangwan, Hongjiang City, and Huangmaoyuan, Xupu County. Through specialty stores and sales points throughout Huaihua urban area, her finished black bone chicken can be sold for 80 yuan per piece, and she has also reached a long-term partnership with Huaihua Century Hualian Supermarket Chain. In November 2019, she took Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken to Beijing to participate in the entrepreneurship competition organized by Changping Farmers’ Practical Skills Training School, and won the championship title.

In July 2016, "Jiwao" passed the trademark registration of the former Trademark Office of the State Administration for Industry and Commerce, and since then it has begun the development path of standardization, standardization and branding of cooperatives. "Jiwao" has a chicken coop with a construction area of ​​more than 3,000 square meters, employs more than 30 fixed employees, and has more than 2,000 temporary workers each year. The cooperative is engaged in integrated breeding and breeding operations. In addition to raising chickens, it has also developed fruits and medicinal materials such as golden autumn pear, honeysuckle, prince ginseng, citrus, and osmanthus. The total output value last year exceeded 20 million yuan. While vigorously carrying out self-operation and cooperative franchise operations, "Jiwawa" has also set up Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Counter in some supermarkets, reached long-term cooperative relationships with some hotels and deep-processing enterprises, and established an online sales platform on Taobao, Tmall, and Huinong. It sells more than 100,000 Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken and other native chickens every year. In May this year, the ecological breeding professional cooperative applied for the "Qianyang Xima" Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Trademark. The preliminary review has been approved and the certificate is being issued. Therefore, it is taking advantage of the momentum to build a trend and expand the "Qianyang Xima" Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Breeding Chicken Factory and Seed Incubation Factory. It has reached a cooperation intention with a university in Huaihua. With the help of the latter's R&D capabilities, the "Qianyang Xima" Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken is becoming bigger and stronger. It plans to build an independent native chicken slaughtering and cold chain processing plant next year, focusing on the development of fast-food Chinese medicine health chicken soup, expand the marketing scope of Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, extend the sales time of Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, and enhance its risk resistance. Therefore, by fully integrating and promoting the foundation of high-quality resources, "Jiwao" will form a complete industrial chain from breeders, seedlings, slaughtering to cold chain, processing, and sales, including technical services, so as to completely transform the unfavorable situation of large investment, large risks, slow returns and small returns in the traditional breeding industry.

Cooperative members and farmers who are bound by "Jiwao" have a per capita chicken raising income of at least 20,000 yuan per year, and the majority can reach 50,000 or 60,000 yuan; the fixed employees' wages are around 3,000 yuan, and the annual income is between 30,000 yuan and 50,000 yuan. The brothers Liu Yanghe and Liu Shenggen from Huayan Village, Tangwan Town, Hongjiang City were originally in a difficult family. With the help of "Jiwoo" the next thing they wanted to breed Xuefeng black bone chickens. Now they have already made tens of thousands of feathers, with an annual income of hundreds of thousands of yuan. The two brothers who tasted the sweetness also mobilized their fellow villagers to raise Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken. So far, many people have embarked on the road to poverty alleviation and increase income in the past three years.

free-range is one of the magic weapons to ensure the delicious taste of black bone chicken

The biggest "Chicken Commander" is here!

fully integrates resources and continuously improves the technical level to strengthen the capacity of the related industrial chain of Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken. Hunan Yunfeifeng Agricultural Co., Ltd. is the unrivalled leader. It is a company specializing in the breeding and breeding of Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, and it is also the only Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Resource Protection Farm in the country. Li Meichun is the company's administrative director. According to her, the Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, which they mainly sell, is an excellent local poultry variety in both meat and medicine in our province. It was officially approved by the Provincial Varieties Review Committee in 2002 and included in the "Hunan Province Local Varieties Protection List", was included in the National List of Livestock and Poultry Genetic Resources in 2010, and in 2012, "Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken" was registered as a national agricultural product geographical indication.

Yun Feifeng has always attached great importance to the integration of industry, education and research and the integration and development of the first, second and third industries, and has continued to increase investment in scientific research, focusing on the protection of the original seeds of Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, and strive to consolidate the industrial foundation. At the same time, through the method of "company + cooperative + base + poor households", the company has helped nearly 5,000 poor households in 17 surrounding counties, cities and districts to increase their income by more than 30 million yuan through the "company + farmer" cooperation agreement with farmers with "five guarantees and two uniforms (including chicken seedlings, feed, medicine, equipment, and after-sales service; unified prices and unified recycling)", reducing the breeding risks of farmers and effectively driving the surrounding farmers to get rich.During the 14th Five-Year Plan period, Yun Feifeng plans to invest more than 30 million yuan to comprehensively develop the Xuefeng black bone chicken industry chain, reaching the annual slaughter and distribution of 10 million Xuefeng black bone chickens, and the annual slaughter and distribution of 2 million Xuefeng black bone chickens. It focuses on the development of deep-processed products such as fast food series, tourism product series, and snack food series, forming a full-industry development chain integrating Xuefeng black bone chicken breeding, slaughtering, deep processing, cold chain logistics and sales, and strives to create the "Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken" characteristic brand, and create the largest black bone chicken seed protection and breeding processing base in the province and even the country.

Breeders have built chicken houses and expanded the breeding scale. The professional chicken houses are equipped with greenhouses. Thanks to the help of Yun Feifeng, the largest "chicken commander" of Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, Ning Jiaoqing is like a fish in water on the road to raising Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken and getting rich through this. He is the owner of Xingfeng Family Farm in Ruoshui Town, Huitong County. He has been breeding Xuefeng black bone chickens for 4 years and has reached tens of thousands of birds. As of recently this year, he has slaughtered more than 4,000 Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, and it was repurchased by Yunfeifeng Company at the order contract price. He had been in the project contracting business for more than ten years. Because he had a safety accident on a hydropower station construction site in Guizhou, he was compensated and injured his vitality. So he gave up his old business and focused on breeding at home.

Duan Chengqiao is the head of Chengqiao Ecological Family Farm in Shangping Village, Shendu Miao Township, Hongjiang City. The farm specializes in integrated breeding, and Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken is the main variety. Since the beginning of this year, Duan Chengqiao has slaughtered 5,600 Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken, and has made great profits. Duan Chengqiao, who has been engaged in pig breeding for a long time, is deeply grateful to his new owner, Yun Feifeng Company. The African swine fever surge in 2019 made him pay the price of more than 400 live pigs in one fell swoop, and he lost about 700,000 yuan. Just when he was at a loss, he contacted Yun Feifeng with advice and became a contracted breeder of the company. Today, Duan Chengqiao's total annual breeding income is about 200,000 yuan, and Xuefeng black bone chicken breeding accounts for a considerable proportion. "I'm the only thing I'm today when I'm going to be with Yun Feifeng and the black bone chicken," he said with deep emotion.

development bottlenecks need to be cleared

Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Industry Chain has great reason to look forward to.

According to Zhu Shiwei, director of the Animal Husbandry Development Department of Hongjiang District Animal Husbandry and Aquatic Affairs Center, Hongjiang District has built a Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Modern Industrial Park integrating breeding, seed supply, recycling, processing and sales. It has one breeding center of 2,000 square meters, one slaughtering and processing plant with an annual slaughtering volume of 30 million poultry, one poultry meat processing line and one supporting cold chain logistics center, and has gradually formed an industrial development pattern with Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Characteristic Industrial Park as the center and the surrounding production areas as the breeding base.

person returns to the house, and the chicken returns to the house.

In February this year, the Huaihua Municipal People's Government submitted a statement report on "Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Apply for Geographical Indication Product Protection" to the State Intellectual Property Office. The name of the geographical indication product applied for protection is Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken. The areas of origin applied for protection cover Hecheng District, Zhongfang County, Zhijiang Dong Autonomous County, Hongjiang City, Xipu County, Mayang Miao Autonomous County, Chenxi County, Huitong County, and Hongjiang District Management Committees currently have administrative areas under their jurisdiction. The above areas have all established Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Breeding Base, with 20 million Hongjiang Xuefeng Black Bone Chicken Commercial Chicken released annually, of which 5 million were processed, driving more than 20,000 poor households in the city to get rid of poverty, and the output value of the entire industrial chain has reached 2 billion yuan, benefiting more than 150,000 people in the city.

Professionals said that the nutritional value and taste of free-range black bone chickens are far superior to other poultry types in terms of nutritional value and taste. The market demand for such products will increase day by day. It is expected that the market demand for free-range black bone chickens will reach 100 million in the next 5-10 years. Huaihua City regards Hongjiang Xuefeng black bone chicken as the main industry for rural revitalization. According to the system of "company + professional breeding cooperative + base + farmers", districts and counties will join forces to build a breeding development model that leads farms and households with farms, and establishes a breeding development model of "village as units, township as areas, and cross-county cooperation".At the same time, the development and production of Hongjiang Xuefeng black bone chicken cooked food processing, health products and special full-price fermented feed will be carried out, further broadened sales channels, enhanced product value, and formed a full-industry development chain integrating Hongjiang Xuefeng black bone chicken breeding, feed, slaughtering, processing, refrigeration, health product development, distribution and sales. We will strive to achieve an annual development scale of more than 30 million commercial chickens and 10 million deep processing by 2025. By 2030, Hongjiang Xuefeng black bone chicken industrial development group will be established, which will reach the scale of annual production of more than 50 million commercial chickens and 30 million deep processing, with sales revenue exceeding 5 billion yuan, which can directly drive nearly 100,000 farmers to engage in the Hongjiang Xuefeng black bone chicken industry, ensure that farmers benefit in the long-term and accelerate the pace of rural revitalization.

is similar to many other breeding industries in Huaihua. It also needs to clear relevant bottlenecks in vigorously promoting the Xuefeng black bone chicken industry and industrial chain. Li Meichun introduced that Yunfeifeng Company lacks professional and technical talents in breeding, breeding, quality control, new marketing, etc. "We also do e-commerce, but we are not doing very well so far. The main reason is the high lack of relevant talents." She hopes that local governments will strongly support it and "help us eliminate the talent deficit as soon as possible." Talking about the funding bottleneck, she revealed that Yun Feifeng has a scale of 80,000 seed insurance, and plans to further expand to 200,000 on this basis. New seed insurance bases are needed. Therefore, there will be a funding gap of 20 million yuan, and it is expected that the government and financial institutions will help solve it.

Just after the Spring Festival in 2020, the avian influenza caused Yang Jinde to suffer economic losses of more than 200,000 yuan. There are 5 breeding greenhouses in his chicken coop, plus brooding chambers and greenhouses. It has been around for 10 years and needs to be repaired urgently, but "the maintenance requires a lot of money, and I hope to get relevant government subsidies and subsidies." Guo Xiaojing said that the biggest problem he has encountered at the moment is that the company's financial strength to expand its operations is not enough, and no one can lead the relevant technical research. These require government help. "I especially want to connect with professors from Agricultural University, learn technology from them humbly, enrich professional knowledge, and continuously improve the level of breeding operation and management."
