The automation of laying hens helps rural revitalization

To revitalize the countryside, industrial development is the key. In recent years, on the basis of consolidating traditional industries, Heixi Town in Qianjiang District has developed characteristic laying hen breeding industry, which has not only expanded the industry, but also promoted employment and injected inexhaustible impetus into rural revitalization.

The reporter saw at the automated chicken farm in Reform Village, Heixi Town that more than 80,000 laying hens were raised here. Different from traditional breeding methods, automation is achieved here from water supply, feeding, temperature adjustment to the final chicken manure cleaning. Not only more efficient and convenient, but also scientific and environmentally friendly.

After the chicken farm is automated, the on-site workers only need to do some simple tasks such as packing and packing. In this way, the requirements on the age and ability of employees are relatively relaxed, and it is easier for villagers to achieve employment.

I work here, with a monthly salary of about 3,500 yuan. It is relatively close to home, and I can also take care of my family and children. I think it is much better than working outside.

It is understood that the first phase of the chicken farm project was officially put into production in November 2020. There are 80,000 laying hens and nearly 40,000 eggs are produced every day. Heixi Town also adopts the model of "company + base + farmers", which brings benefits to multiple parties, bringing tangible benefits to the increase of people's income, the growth of the collective economy and the development of enterprises.

At present, our company has invested more than 6 million yuan to build this modern, large-scale and intelligent chicken farm. At the same time, we have transferred the land of 33 farmers, accumulatively 42 acres, and absorbed 32 migrant workers into the factory. , their average annual net income is around 40,000 yuan.
