In recent years, Fuping county regards dairy goat industry as an important measure to develop rural economy and increase farmers' income. At present, the county has built 20 provincial-level demonstration villages for dairy goat breeding, with an annual output of 65,438+10,000 tons of goat milk and an output value of 480 million yuan, making it the largest breeding base of high-quality Guanzhong dairy goat in China. On June 4th, 20 12, the interview group "Going Out of Yangling to See the Demonstration" came to Fuping County, the hometown of dairy goats, to interview the demonstration base of Guanzhong dairy goats.
Northwest A&F University has established a demonstration base in Fuping. By training large-scale technicians to farmers and establishing animal husbandry associations in animal husbandry stations, a large number of dairy goat breeding techniques and scientific training in breeding, reproduction, feed and vaccines have been rapidly improved, and the large-scale dairy goat breeding system in Fuping has been rapidly improved.
Before the establishment of the demonstration base, the breeding of Fuping dairy goats was basically in a primitive state, and retail farming did not have scientific conditions, with high breeding cost and small income. Moreover, due to unexpected factors such as epidemic situation, it is impossible to form a complete and mature dairy goat breeding industry chain, which greatly restricts the scope of dairy goat breeding and the enthusiasm of farmers. Since the West Agricultural University started scientific breeding in the experimental station in 2007, the dairy goat industry has quickly embarked on a scientific and formal development path. The annual income of farmers raising a dairy goat can reach 65438 yuan. The mature industrial chain of Xi 'an Agricultural University has also accelerated the breeding process of dairy goats.
At present, Fuping dairy goat has formed a mature chain from production, processing to sales, and will be widely promoted in high-end dairy goat products (cheese, yogurt, pasteurized milk, etc.). ) Promote the development of dairy goat industry in the later stage. "Fuping Dairy Goat, a small bank for farmers." "Keep five sheep at home and stride towards a well-off society." Slogans such as "milk goat" reflect the great role of milk goat in the development of Fuping County. Through the implementation of the agricultural standardization demonstration zone project, relying on advanced science and technology, and making full use of agricultural standardization means to standardize and guide dairy goat breeding, we can realize the integration of dairy goat variety improvement, breeding standardization, regional layout and acquisition and processing, further improve the level and quality of dairy goat breeding, enhance brand status, and achieve good economic and social benefits of increasing farmers' income and increasing enterprises' efficiency.
