Chicken farm, Wang and Ma Zhentang, He Jiaqing and He Jiaxiang signed a ten-year chicken coop lease contract, the New Year, 2003 on the ninth day of the first lunar month, Wang Fumin contacted the last time to buy cage chicken coop equipment manufacturers.

This time, the Wang family put on six sets of equipment at a time, and all the remaining six greenhouses on the farm were transformed into cage chicken coops.

In this way, the number of chickens that can be served in a batch of the Wang family can reach 80,000.

If you engage in aquaculture, you can't go up in scale, and you will never be able to make a lot of money.

And now Wang Fumin they have also accumulated a certain amount of breeding experience, the next step, as long as the operation process is strictly standardized, the risk of chicken disease is actually completely controllable.

In large-scale chicken farms with tens of millions of slaughters a year, there are very few chicken diseases that cause mass casualties.

The whole area of the large chicken farm is strictly disinfected, and the breeding workers must be disinfected before entering the chicken coop.

The Wang family's chicken farm was renovated on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, and then Wang Shaodong went around to inquire about the chicken seedlings.

There is not much room for broiler breeds to choose from, mainly white-feathered broilers, which are slaughtered in about six weeks, and the average weight of slaughter can reach more than five catties.

Qilu Province is a traditional province for white-feathered broiler breeding. In 2015, 38 white-feathered broiler group enterprises with a large breeding capacity raised a total of 3.13 billion white-feathered broilers, accounting for 50% of the country's total output, of which about 1.6 billion were raised in Qilu Province.

Qilu Province has the advantages of raising white-feathered broilers in terms of climatic conditions, transportation conditions, market conditions, manpower conditions, feed conditions, etc., so the development of white-feathered broiler industry in Qilu Province has broad prospects.

White feather broiler is a breed introduced from abroad in the eighties, and then at the beginning, the domestic people did not have the habit of eating white feather broilers, and the market was not opened, so the first people to raise white feather broilers were some foreign trade enterprises, mainly responsible for exporting to Japan and South Korea.

Qilu Province is relatively close to Japan and South Korea, and the sea transportation is convenient, so it is the first to take the lead in breeding white-feathered broilers.

In his previous life, Wang Shaodong went to many places in order to promote medical equipment, and he also went to some large-scale ones by chance, including a large-scale agricultural and animal husbandry and food enterprise group in Henan Province that integrates improved breeding, feed processing, chicken hatching, broiler breeding, slaughtering and processing, deep processing of conditioning products, export sales, technology research and development, vaccine production, cold chain logistics, packaging and color printing, real estate development, etc., with total assets of 10 billion, which really shocked Wang Shaodong back then.

It is precisely because of these experiences that Wang Shaodong feels that raising chickens is definitely a very promising industry.

What Wang Shaodong has to do now is to rapidly expand the scale of production, and then first make the broiler breeding bigger, and then extend the industrial chain upstream and downstream.

At the beginning of 2003, the market was still good.

The SARS epidemic in 2003 made everyone's memory of avian flu fade, and chicken protein, which is the most easily accepted by the human body, is the best nutritional supplement, so the chicken market began to enter a golden age in 2003.

On the 24th day of the first month, after Wang Shaodong made many inquiries, he ordered 80,000 white-feathered chicken seedlings from a large broiler hatchery in Qu City.

Before 2002, there were many white-feathered broiler hatcheries in Qilu Province, and then because of avian influenza, many broiler hatcheries closed down and went bankrupt, so the price of chicks was high throughout the year in 2003.

In a normal year, the price of broiler chicks in Qilu Province is about 1 yuan 5. The price is less than 1 yuan in the lower years and higher than 2 yuan in the high years.

The price of Wang Shaodong's batch of chicken seedlings is 1 yuan 8, which is a normal high situation.

The price of the same chicken seedlings in different places varies greatly, among which the chicken seedlings in Qilu Province have always been relatively cheap, which is close to one dollar cheaper than that in Liao Province.

Broiler chicks are cheaper than chai chicks, because chai chicks are out of the shell to identify the sex of the chickens, which is a technical job, and the wage for each chicken is three cents to five cents. Broiler chicks, on the other hand, do not need this work.

The feed to meat ratio of broiler chickens is lower than that of firewood chickens, and it can generally reach the level of 1.8 catties of feed and one catty of meat. In 2002, the price of chicken feed around Luzhong City, Qilu Province was about 1 yuan a catty. In this way, the cost of chicken seedlings, feed, medicine, and labor is about three yuan and five per pound of chickens.

In 2003, the purchase price of broiler chickens in Luzhong City has been fluctuating between three and eight to four and two, which is a relatively stable situation. There are very few times when the market is very poor, and the purchase price of broiler chickens will reach two yuan. In such a market, chicken farmers can only lose money.

Of course, in the next fifteen years, Wang Shaodong remembers those few particularly bad markets and particularly good markets very clearly, so he will never lose money raising chickens.

As long as the chickens are raised well, it can be said that until the next wave of bird flu broke out in 2006, raising carnivorous chickens was very profitable.

Raising chickens to lose money, the biggest risk is that the chicken disease is not well controlled, and once the chicken disease occurs, the casualty rate is too large, then no matter how good the market is, it is impossible to make money.

If you want to make more money, you have to extend it in the upstream and downstream of the industrial chain, and go to hatcheries, feed processing plants, slaughterhouses, deep processing plants, and so on.

The chicken seedlings contacted by Wang Shaodong were produced in a large hatchery in the hometown of Kong Shengren, and Wang Shaodong had other things to do here, so he couldn't get away, and then he called Li Hong, remitted a deposit of 10,000 yuan to him, and asked him to help him run, and at the same time verbally promised a benefit fee of 2,000 yuan. Li Hong's character Wang Shaodong is very relieved, in his previous life, he and his father Wang Fumin were old friends for more than ten years, and many things have already proved that his character is good, so he gave him 10,000 yuan, and Wang Shaodong was also very relieved. As the saying goes, if you don't doubt people, don't use suspicious people, if you can do this, then you can really be a big boss.

Looking at the chicks is also a technical job, like Li Hong, an experienced person, walk from the side of the incubator, listen to the movement, and basically know how the chicks are in general condition.

This technology was impossible for Wang Shaodong to master in his previous life, and he has not studied it now.

Li Hong is a talent, and his character is very good, Wang Shaodong has been thinking about how to poach this person to help him work.

On the 26th of the first month, after the broiler chicks were put into the house, Wang Fumin on the chicken farm could no longer pull away.

Every day, Wang Fumin has to turn around the eight chicken coops to observe the growth of chicken seedlings and see the feed inventory.

The investment in chicken farms is huge, and the cost of chicken seedlings alone is more than 140,000. The next feed money, medicine money, and labor money need more than 700,000 yuan.

You have to take a loan from the bank, otherwise the Wang family's capital chain will be broken, and the trouble will be big.
