In 2003, when the new national standard of Ningxiang Flower Pig was promulgated, experts from the Ministry of Agriculture conducted a comprehensive investigation on the current situation of improved pigs in various places, and found a grim reality-most varieties were in an endangered predicament, and Ningxiang Flower Pig was one of them. There are 7 boars, 7 lineages and tens of thousands of sows, but most of them are white-haired pigs bred by hybridization. This is the existing situation of Ningxiang Flower Pig in our county at that time. Ningxiang Flower Pig is a species that needs to be preserved urgently! Because from the perspective of species protection theory, in order to inherit all the excellent characteristics and not lose their own genes, the pedigree must reach 3 1, and the lowest bottom line is 10.
At that time, a group of people from the county animal husbandry and fisheries bureau proposed to vigorously develop the flower pig industry in Ningxiang from the perspective of species protection. After receiving the attention and support from the county party committee and the superior animal husbandry department, Ningxiang Flower Pig Breeding Farm and Ningxiang Flower Pig Reserve were established in Liushahe, which were mainly located in the former Cao Chong Township.
In April, 2004, the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau sent technicians to Xinhua County to find the bloodline of Ningxiang Flower Pig, which no longer exists in our county. Previously, technicians learned that Xinhua introduced a large number of Ningxiang pigs in the 1950s, and now there should be many local pigs. Hard work pays off! Technicians traveled all over five towns and villages, and after seven days of "carpet" search, they finally found three Ningxiang flower pig lineages that had disappeared in our county. In May of that year, six boars were brought back to their "hometown" with these three lineages. At this point, the bloodline of Ningxiang Flower Pig in nature reserves and farms has reached 10, and finally it has come out of the endangered predicament. In the process of promoting the re-emergence of the flower pig industry in Ningxiang, a group of people from the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau have always regarded species protection as the key work. After three families were introduced from Xinhua, the core conservation population of Ningxiang Flower Pig System was formed in nature reserves and conservation farms. Each core conservation population included 10 boars representing 10 families and 150 sows representing 10 families.
In order to promote the efficient development of pig breeding in Ningxiang, the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau has established an echelon-type breeding team, which is composed of technicians from the bureau, two full-time breeders from Liushahe Town Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Workstation, and co-breeders from protected areas 10 natural villages. And implemented a set of scientific management methods, including establishing pedigree files of breeding pigs, giving each breeding pig a corresponding number, strictly replacing boars and so on.
Strict generation replacement is the key to the success or failure of species protection. Ningxiang Flower Pig ensures that all kinds of pigs will change generations every three years; Before that, it was replaced every two years. This is a plan formulated and implemented by the technicians of the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau according to the relevant theories and the actual situation of Ningxiang Flower Pig. In the process of planning and implementation, every breeding pig has strict file management, and the selection of every backup breeding pig must follow strict standards. Each generation has a complete set of pedigree files; Boars in different areas are exchanged once in a certain period ... The implementation of various measures has enabled the excellent characteristics of Ningxiang Flower Pig to be completely preserved and fully displayed.
He lives in Cao Chong Village, Liushahe Town, and has 1 sow. In Ningxiang Flower Pig Reserve, there are 150 such protection households, all of which have signed protection contracts with the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau. He said that every breeder can get a certain subsidy every year, and the households who raise boars get more subsidies. In his impression, the protection of Ningxiang Flower Pig has become more and more strict and solid. Whenever there is any problem, the maintenance staff will help solve it in time. A year later, technicians from the county animal husbandry and fisheries bureau and local breeders will come to the door for guidance many times. Because of these, he has the same feelings as many local farmers-Ningxiang pigs are getting better and better. In 2007, he raised 1 sow, and the number increased to 15. He said that it is good to expand the scale, and many local villagers have this plan.
The work of species protection has been solidly promoted for a long time and achieved gratifying results, which has been highly affirmed by leaders and experts at all levels. Won the title of "National Ningxiang Pig Farm" and "National Ningxiang Pig Reserve Farm". So far, only Ningxiang Flower Pig has won both titles. The breeding farm includes Ningxiang Flower Pig Breeding Farm and Resource Farm, which can breed breeding pigs 1200 each year. There are nearly 2000 basic sows in the reserve. The development of flower pig industry in Ningxiang has been concerned and supported by many county leaders. This kind of attention and support has reached a new height-a leading group for the in-depth development of flower pig industry in Ningxiang was established, with Li Shiqiu, secretary of the county party committee, as consultant, Li Chunqiu, county magistrate, as team leader and Liu Ping, deputy county magistrate, as deputy team leader, to comprehensively coordinate the in-depth development of flower pig industry in Ningxiang.
At the People's Congress at the beginning of the year, the bill of "Ningxiang Flower Pig Protection and Comprehensive Development" was listed as the No.1 bill, which became the only bill handed over to the county government throughout the year. This proposal has been highly valued by the leaders of the county government. Li Chunqiu, the county magistrate, has made many in-depth studies on this subject and arranged a special fund of 6,543,800 yuan from the Industrial Development Fund. Ping Liu, the deputy county magistrate, personally arranged and deployed relevant work, so that the disposal work could be promoted efficiently. After repeated research and continuous improvement, the development idea of pig industry in Ningxiang has been determined, that is, according to "scientific positioning, planning first, brand leading and project support; The idea of "leading by leading, radiating by leading" and the mode of "government supporting and market operation" take the company as the leading and rely on science and technology to form a complete industrial chain of "species protection, breeding, breeding, slaughtering, processing and circulation" and realize "500,000 in five years and over 10 billion in ten years" (that is, through 5 to 10)
Since the beginning of the year, under the overall arrangement of the county government, the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau has invested more manpower and financial resources than in previous years to deeply develop the pig industry in Ningxiang. Director Yang and Party Secretary Xie often come to the front line to win greater support from superiors and solve various problems. Invite experts from the Provincial Agricultural and Forestry Industry Survey and Design Institute to formulate the development plan of Ningxiang Flower Pig Industry, and organize experts to formulate the work plan for the conservation and breeding of Ningxiang Flower Pig. Invited Beijing Pop Culture Communication Co., Ltd. to make a publicity album of Ningxiang Flower Pig, build a demonstration window of Ningxiang Flower Pig Breeding, and start to introduce powerful leading enterprises ... Each key work is specifically undertaken by a bureau team member, and is equipped with special staff to promote it in an orderly manner.
Ningxiang Flower Pig Qinglong Village Breeding Demonstration Park is located in Hexuan Village, Puzhen Town, Shuang Fu, covering an area of 340 mu, with a planned investment of nearly 30 million yuan. According to the plan, its architecture is in classical style, and it is an original ecological and environmental protection comprehensive demonstration park integrating aquaculture production, tourism, leisure shopping and pig culture display in Ningxiang. After production, the number of live pigs can reach 5000, and the number of live pigs is 1 000. In order to quickly promote the construction of this project, the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau sent three staff members to the site for a long time to fully promote the project construction. The main project can be completed before the Spring Festival on 20 1 1 and put into production before 2011May.
A powerful leading enterprise is an essential factor for the in-depth development of pig industry in Ningxiang. Hao Jing Agricultural Products Co., Ltd. is a leading enterprise in this industry, which has effectively promoted the development of the pig industry in Ningxiang. There are more than 200 pig farmers in Ningxiang, and there are dozens of large-scale farms, with nearly 30,000 pigs slaughtered each year. The company has 2 farms, and its sales network covers Hunan and other places.
"We are selectively introducing a leading enterprise with strong strength and rich experience in pig industry development, which will strongly promote the rapid development of pig industry in Ningxiang. Then, through three to five years of hard work, Ningxiang Flower Pig will be listed as a whole, and Ningxiang Flower Pig will be made into' national meat', so that its sales price will reach 200 yuan/Jin, and the new rise of Ningxiang Flower Pig Industry will be realized. " In the interview, Yang, director of the County Animal Husbandry and Fisheries Bureau and director of the Office of the Leading Group for Deep Development of Flower Pig Industry in Ningxiang, said.
