(Baonghean.vn) - Unlike the thoughts of many of his peers, who only hope to find a leisurely job in the city after graduation, Ho Hoang Anh, in Son Nam hamlet, Nghia Son commune (Nghia Dan), on the contrary, decided to return to his hometown to raise chickens.

However, thinking that the land in his hometown is vast, and with the knowledge he has learned, he will apply it to livestock farming, so he will not be afraid of hunger or hardship.

Thinking is doing, Anh went home to ask his family for advice, with his parents' support, he researched the actual livestock models, and read more documents related to chicken farming. Based on that, he decided to go back to his hometown to plan the barn, buy breeds and raise them on an area of ​​2000 m2.². The first batch, after 4 months of raising and selling, with more than 300 broiler chickens, Anh earned a profit of over 20 million VND.

So far, the model has developed to over 700 pigs/batch, 3 batches per year, bringing in an income of over 150 million VND/year, plus 50-60 million VND/year from selling eggs.
