Mashan black goat is not a breed, but it has become a famous brand in Guangxi.
Mashan black goat is a hybrid offspring of imported and local breeds. After years of selection, the brand image of "Mashan Black Goat" has been gradually improved: "mashan county Live Sheep Transfer Station for Hong Kong" has been registered in Guangxi Entry-Exit Inspection and Quarantine Bureau, which provides a trading platform for Mashan Black Goat to go abroad; In 2003, the application was approved by the General Administration of Quality and Technical Supervision, Inspection and Quarantine, and "Mashan Black Goat" was allowed to use "China origin mark"; In 2003, it registered the service trademark of "Black Goat" in the Industrial and Commercial Bureau of the Autonomous Region; In 2003, it was declared to the organizing committee of brand protection activities in China and won the title of "mashan county, the hometown of China black goats".
However, it is not enough for such a well-known brand to be "captive" in scattered farmers' homes, and it is not conducive to making it stronger and bigger. It is reported that the total area of grassy slopes in mashan county is123,600 hectares, and the usable area is 46,300 hectares. In addition, there is a barren slope of Tuling in the county, which belongs to grassland degradation, suitable for grazing and forest, with an area of 62,800 hectares. The natural grassland can feed 1 10,000 sheep. By the end of 2006, the number of black goats raised in this county was only 210.56 million, and the number of black goats on hand was1.10.29 million. At the end of the year, the number of black goats was10.27 million.
In order to achieve the goals of increasing agricultural efficiency, increasing farmers' income and financial growth, the Mashan County Party Committee and the county government have established the development strategy of "Trilogy of Spiritual Civilization, Grasping Black Goat in Material Civilization" and "Sheep for Pigs and Grass for Food", and adopted "Small-scale and Large-scale Groups", "One Leader Grasps an Industry, One Work Class, One Supporting Investment and One Supporting Investment"
In 2004, they built five demonstration communities of black goat breeding in sheep breeding sites such as Shifeng in Guling, Pianlian Gaode, Qiaolisubo, Baishan Zaohua and Yongzhou Bawei, and guided and supported the establishment of "Black Goat Breeding Association" in each demonstration community, and borrowed money from rural credit cooperatives by means of discount interest and farmers' joint guarantee, which solved the problem of insufficient funds for sheep farmers and greatly improved their enthusiasm. On this basis, in order to achieve the goal of "one million black goats", in 2007, the county vigorously cultivated three functional areas of black goat breeding and built three black goat bases.
The three functional areas of black goat breeding in this county include commercial mutton sheep breeding demonstration area, black goat variety protection demonstration area and foreign excellent variety introduction demonstration area. The demonstration area of commercial mutton sheep breeding takes national highway 2 10 as the axis, and the villages within 30 kilometers on both sides of the line are the main ones. This area is flat, rich in land and crop straw, and the people have a strong sense of commodity. Its main function is to improve the demonstration area of large-scale production of commercial mutton sheep by crossing Mashan black goat with foreign excellent varieties, mainly including Baishan, Bailongtan, Linxu, Guling, Li Qiao and other townships (towns); The demonstration area of black goat conservation is located in the east of mashan county. The area is dominated by Dashi Mountain, with many shrubs and rich mountain resources. It is very convenient to develop the sheep raising mode of "captive in spring and summer-rotational grazing in autumn and winter" at the foot of Shishan Mountain, and its relative closeness also provides favorable terrain advantages for black goats to preserve their species. Its main function is to purify and rejuvenate Mashan black goat, improve its performance and increase its number, mainly including Fang Jia, Guzhai, Chai Jin and other townships (towns); The demonstration area for introduction and breeding of exotic fine varieties is located at the western end of mashan county. This area is mainly mountainous and hilly, with convenient transportation. It is a sub-black goat development area, and its main function is to provide and introduce bloodlines with the best production performance for commercial mutton sheep breeding demonstration areas, mainly including Yongzhou, Zhou Lu and other townships (towns). Chen, director of the Aquatic Animal Husbandry Bureau of the autonomous region, put forward the idea of building three bases of Mashan black goat, namely, the breeding sheep supply base facing southwest, the live sheep supply base exported to Hong Kong and the Middle East, and the black goat processing and product distribution base.
In order to ensure the smooth implementation of the project, the county established the "mashan county Million Black Goat Leading Group", headed by the county magistrate, and composed of leaders of relevant departments such as the county government office, aquatic animal husbandry bureau, finance bureau and related experts. The project leading group has an office, and the director of the office is the director of the County Aquatic Animal Husbandry Bureau, who is responsible for daily management. At the same time, the county party committee and government also hired experts from Guangxi Aquatic Animal Husbandry Bureau, Guangxi University, Guangxi Animal Husbandry Research Institute, Guangxi Veterinary Research Institute, Guangxi Buffalo Research Institute and sheep breeding farm to form project technical consultants to guide the project construction for a long time. In addition, the county also has financial subsidies for purchasing excellent breeding sheep, planting pasture and building sheep houses. For example, each demonstrator will receive 2,000 yuan of autonomous region subsidies and 2,000 yuan of municipal financial subsidies for infrastructure construction.
According to the planning of three functional areas and three bases of black goat breeding, the county adopts the development model of "small scale and large groups", on the one hand, it cultivates sheep demonstration households, on the other hand, it expands regional groups, establishes demonstration areas and communities, cultivates a number of different types of sheep demonstration households, and gradually improves the service systems such as improved seed centers and feeding and distribution centers. Epidemic prevention center, cooperative marketing center and deep processing center make it the engine that drives thousands of families to develop sheep industry. Project construction shall be subject to target contract management. The tasks and objectives of the project construction are approved and issued by the county leading group, the county government signs a contract with the township (town) government, the township (town) government signs a letter of responsibility with the government and the county aquatic animal husbandry bureau, and the project progress is included in the year-end assessment of administrative cadres at all levels. At the same time, the county-level animal husbandry department signed technical contracts with township (town) and village technicians to link the work results with the salaries and bonuses of scientific and technological personnel.
It is understood that the total investment of the "Million Black Goat" breeding project is 226 million yuan, of which the investment of farmers' breeding base is 65.438+0.2965 million yuan; Feed processing, slaughtering and processing, and scale field construction are 96 million yuan. The government, companies and individuals each contribute a little "three little" to raise the operating funds and other supporting funds needed for the "One Million Black Goat" project. By 2009, the number of black goat farmers in this county will reach 30 thousand; There are 1 4 households with more than 0/10,000, 156 households with more than 200 but less than 0,000, 836 households with more than 0/10,000, and 2,695 households with more than 30 but less than 30. 280,000 square meters of sheephouses were rebuilt and built, and 40,000 square meters of silage/ammoniation ponds were built. More than 6,543,800 tons of crop straws were used, and about 600,000 ewes were added.
As a professional farmer, what are you most afraid of? They have nothing to do with the direct demand market for mutton sheep outside, and the price of selling sheep can only be decided by sheep dealers. Farmers, herdsmen and farmers can directly trade with the market through the agricultural service platform, successfully avoiding all kinds of bloody price cuts by sheep dealers.
