Animal Husbandry Institute accepts the Chicken Farming Project in Nghi Loc

(Baonghean.vn) - On September 11, a working delegation of the Institute of Animal Husbandry under the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development led by Mr. Nguyen Thanh Son - Director of the Institute conducted an acceptance test of the project on raising colored-feather broilers to ensure biosafety in Nghi Loc district.

The project is implemented in 3 communes of Nghi Loc: Nghi Van, Nghi Dong and Nghi Trung. There are 15 households raising livestock here participating in this project. Each household is provided with 1,000 one-day-old Luong Phuong chickens by the Animal Husbandry Institute's Experimental and Conservation Center, and is supported with a portion of the feed cost and trained in techniques for raising colored-feather chickens to ensure biosafety.

The working group inspected chicken farming at Mr. Nguyen Cong Duong's household in hamlet 19, Nghi Trung commune.

Through the inspection and acceptance of the models, the working group of the Livestock Institute assessed: The project has received due attention from the district and commune authorities. The agricultural extension station and the People's Committees of the communes have selected suitable households with land area for grazing, ensuring bio-security, disease prevention, and being far from residential areas to ensure environmental hygiene. Households participating in the project have learned the farming techniques disseminated by the Institute, with a survival rate of over 95%. After 3 months of raising, the average weight of the chickens reached 2kg/chicken. Currently, these 15 households have gradually sold the chickens. With the current market price, each household earns 30 to 50 million VND in profit.

In the coming time, Nghi Loc District People's Committee will mobilize, direct the maintenance and replication of the model after the Project ends to increase income for people in the district.
