Mengyin: Rabbit Tail "Long"

　　 Mengyin county Rabbit's hair Output accounts for about 15% of the country, and the county is known as "China". Long haired rabbit Hometown. During the 2006~2008 years, the farmers' enthusiasm was frustrated due to the weak demand. Breed The volume dropped from 6 million 500 thousand at its peak to less than 2 million, slipping down to the lowest point in history. After 3 years, after 2010 and October, the price of rabbit hair reached 200 yuan per kilogram, which ushered in the spring of the long haired rabbit breeding industry.

Long hair rabbit culture meets "Waterloo"

In 2007, it was an unforgettable year for farmers in Mengyin county. Because international Rabbit's hair market Sustained downturn, then Price From 160 yuan per kilogram to less than 106 yuan at the beginning of the year, the whole rabbit hair market is depressed. In addition, because of the increase in grain prices in that year, the cost of raising rabbits has increased significantly, which has dampened the enthusiasm of rabbit households. Liu Tongqi, a Liu Jia Yu village in Mengyin Town, raised more than 200 rabbits in 2006 and left less than 50 in 2007. He said: "rabbit hair is up to 106 yuan a kilogram, more than 20% more than in previous years, and at that time only 20% yuan per kilogram of rabbit fur feed costs, coupled with epidemic prevention and other expenses, rabbits do not make money, or even lose money." According to the conservative estimate of the County Animal Husbandry Bureau, the total number of long haired rabbits in the county was less than 2 million, which was 2/3 lower than that in the peak period, and there was a further downward trend in the amount of 6 million 500 thousand.

Persist in difficulties and finally welcome the dawn of hope.

In early November of last year, Chang long, who was busy answering customer calls, said, "now the price of rabbit hair has been rising. It has been more than 200 yuan and a kilogram, and everyone's enthusiasm for raising rabbits has come up again. Now there are not enough rabbits in the field."

Why is rabbit fur so good since last October? The leaders of the animal husbandry bureau of the county and the public took part in the analysis together. They believe that the main reason is that the rabbit hair has basically been digested and the demand has expanded in the international market for the past two years. Another important reason is that the rabbit hair textile technology has made new breakthroughs. In the past, domestic rabbit hair textile technology can not break through the difficulties of shrinking and static electricity, and the demand for rabbit hair is difficult to scale, so prices are ups and downs. In 2009, Professor Zhang Yusheng, a Specialized Committee in the province, successfully tackled this problem. In the past, spinning a sweater, cashmere, rabbit hair and chemical fiber according to the ratio of 5:4:1. With this technology, now spinning a sweater, the proportion of rabbit hair has increased to 95% at once. With the support of new textile technology, rabbit hair can not only be knitted into a sweater worn in autumn and winter, but also can be woven into high-grade clothing and fabrics. It can be used in four seasons and the market demand is multiplied. The market demand continues to expand, so that the county's long hair rabbit industry is not only going back to the simple price fluctuating level in the past, but also a rising industry in the long term.

According to the statistics of the County Animal Husbandry Bureau, the breeding rate of the county's long haired rabbit is gradually rising, from less than 2 million in 2007 to 3 million now, and it will not be a problem to reach 4 million to 5 million in two years.

Seize the opportunity, the rabbit tail is getting longer and longer.

The external environment also provided good conditions for the development of the county's long haired rabbit. In February last year, the national rabbit modern agriculture industrial technology system was launched at China Agricultural University, and "little rabbit" was incorporated into the national modern agricultural industrial technology system. The support at the national level has played a great role in promoting the development of long hair rabbit industry.

In order to revive the breeding industry of long hair rabbit, the county has taken a number of effective measures in recent years. First of all, from improving the scientific and technological content of breeding rabbit, we established and improved the breeding and extension system of breeding rabbits, and improved the three level breeding system of county, township and village, and ensured the smooth progress of variety improvement. In the whole county, alfalfa and ryegrass have been vigorously promoted to form a production mode of planting grass and raising rabbits. The two is to put forward the strategy of "animal husbandry structure adjustment" which has priority in developing rabbit industry, speed up the construction of leading enterprises, and promote the transformation of rabbit industry to specialization and industrialization. Three, in line with the requirements of the industrialization system of "leading the market, leading the company with the base, and connecting the farmers with the base", we should lay stress on the construction of the market, the construction of leading enterprises and the large-scale cultivation, so as to realize the sustained and healthy development of the rabbit industry. Wu Chuancun, deputy county magistrate, said with confidence: "we will further support the relevant policies of the state. We will use the new technology to build a rabbit hair deep processing enterprise in Mengyin County, extend the industrial chain of the rabbit and let the rabbit's tail grow up."
