If you want to benefit the world, it will take at least a few years to produce paclitaxel, which is a long-term project;

The growth cycle of forest trees is long, and there is great uncertainty in the return of benefits, so it is not easy to obtain bank loans or social financing.

Yew is a precious tree species, and if we want to truly promote the wave of yew planting, Jiagu needs to let the local villagers not only have visible long-term benefits in the future, but also have real benefits in their hands.

In this regard, Lin Guishan, a yew planting professional, has a deep experience.

Lin Guishan said that in fact, in the first few years of planting yew, he had been maintaining the growth of yew, which did not bring direct economic benefits. Two years ago, by chance, he discovered that some yew trees around the house in the demonstration base were not affected by pests. The reason for this turned out to be that there were a few chickens around the house.

"Because chickens can move around in a small area, they eat pests that fall from trees, so that pests can't multiply quickly. After Lin Guishan understood this truth, he immediately expanded the scale of chicken raising, thereby expanding the scope of chicken activities.

Raising chickens under the forest has brought him considerable economic benefits, and has also removed many pests for yew, and the growth of the forest is more optimistic.

Ha, isn't it just raising chickens under the forest? This operation Jiagu is the most familiar.

A new way for farmers who rely on the mountains to put down their axes and protect the forests while also getting rich is to develop the economy under the forests. I think that's how Jiagu started back then.

Jiagu agriculture is familiar with Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, and a group of black chickens have been introduced and stocked in the yew planting base.

Flocks of black chickens roam under a one-man tall yew forest. Black chickens can weed and kill yew insects, chicken manure is used as fertilizer, yew and black chickens grow together, forming a virtuous cycle ecosystem of "forest, grass, insects-ecological chicken-chicken manure-soil".

The black chickens raised in this way have a large foraging range, the body is exercised, the physique is strong, the body fat and water are less, and the muscle toughness is strong.

Raising chickens under the forest can only be regarded as a small project in the system of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry, but the chickens of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry have a long feeding cycle, taste good, and belong to high-end food, each ecological chicken can be sold for nearly 100 yuan, and each egg can also be sold for one or two yuan, and the thief is scary.

But Lin Guishan was skeptical about the professionalism of Jiagu's agriculture and animal husbandry.

"As far as I know, the number of chickens raised under the forest should not exceed 80 per mu of woodland, so as to effectively protect the ecological environment of the woodland......, right?"

Qi Zheng thought for a while: "Well, the number of chickens we raise per acre of woodland should be about 130~140." ”

Lin Guishan glanced at Qi Zheng.

Qi Zheng smiled: "Lin Lao, our raising chickens under the forest is not a simple matter of free-range, it is a ...... that provides one-stop service."

In addition to raising chickens under the forest, Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry also chooses to raise earthworms under the yew forest.

In terms of habits, yew prefers shade and dampness, while earthworms are used to living in dark and damp places - earthworms can loosen the soil for yew roots, and can also promote the transformation of acidic or alkaline soil into neutral soil suitable for yew growth, and yew is a natural "shade canopy" for earthworms. Yew and earthworms hit it off!

In this way, the recipes of the free-range black flock are also enriched, and in addition to grass and bugs, there is also a feast of earthworms.

In addition, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry are also "full of means".

The interplanting of high-quality forage grass and Chinese herbal medicine under the yew forest, and the use of zonal grazing and rotational grazing technology according to the vegetation conditions of the woodland, increased the yield of plants and insects in the understory by more than 30.

Secondly, by adding Chinese herbal medicines, enzyme preparations, antimicrobial peptides, etc., the risk of epidemic infection is effectively reduced, and the chickens do not use antibiotics during the feeding period, and the product has reached the standard of no resistance.

Finally, focus on the implementation of rationalized feeding technology, the use of the best breeder feed formula and the best feeding amount, reduce the nesting of free-range hens, improve egg production, so that the egg production increased by more than 20......

"In this way, the pollution-free black chicken we produce in this way can not only meet the needs of consumers for both nutrition and health, but also contribute to soil and water conservation, which can prevent soil erosion. Qi Zheng said.

Don't play tricks with a chicken under the forest, Lin Guishan knew that Jiagu was really not in vain, and expressed his convincing.

......

Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry temporarily stocked 50,000 black chickens in the yew breeding base, but before they were slaughtered and listed, orders flocked to catch them off guard.

Qi Zheng deliberately learned about it, and only then did he know what was going on.

"The chickens raised at the Jiagu yew base eat yew leaves and bark, which has an anti-tumor effect, and can be called an 'anti-tumor chicken'......" The news somehow spread through word of mouth and spread in the surrounding areas.

Many people come to buy and are willing to place an order even if they haven't been slaughtered yet.

Even people from Rongcheng, the provincial capital, heard the news, and even people from the neighboring Yunnan Province called to consult, asking for the purchase of "anti-tumor chickens" and eggs.

Qi Zheng and the people of Jiagu farmers and herdsmen couldn't cry or laugh.

The conscience of heaven and earth, this is definitely not the marketing means of Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry.

Black chickens may eat some leaves, but to say that they eat the bark is nonsense.

What's more, not to mention eating some leaves, even if you use yew leaves and fruits to make wine, there is no point, and its medicinal value is the same as grass soaking wine. The anti-cancer substance paclitaxel is extracted from the bark of the yew tree, and the leaves and fruits of the tree do not have any anti-cancer effect.

In fact, paclitaxel is also insoluble in solvents such as water and alcohol, so it is ineffective to drink it directly by boiling water or soaking in wine. Moreover, the content of paclitaxel in yew is very low, and the content of the highest content in the bark is only about 2/10,000 - if the yew bark is used as raw material, 10 tons of bark will be peeled alive for every 1 kilogram of paclitaxel extracted.

If you understand these, you will know how nonsense the so-called "anti-tumor chicken" is, and the employees of Jiagu Agriculture and Animal Husbandry will take the trouble to explain to the visitors who want to purchase that the black chickens raised in Jiagu do not have any anti-tumor effect, and they are all false.

A lot of people accepted the explanation. However, just as eating game can be more nourishing, there are also many people who have a stubborn cognition, especially some elderly people - can't yew fight cancer? Chickens eat yew leaves and bark also have anti-cancer ingredients, which is fine.

No matter how Jiagu's employees explain, it is a kind of "no need to explain, give me an order first" attitude.

Yes, what else can I do if you don't believe me, pre-order and pre-order, anyway, Jiagu produces it, it must be a high-quality product, and they will not suffer.

As a result, Jiagu agriculture and animal husbandry have created a miracle - the supply of chickens has not yet been slaughtered.

What's even more helpless is that many villagers around them also chose to join the cooperative supported by Jiagu because of this rumor.
