Black guinea pig farming technology, industry development prospects and sales channel analysis
Green agriculture refers to an agricultural production and operation model centered on producing, processing and selling green food. Green food refers to safe, high-quality, nutritious, pollution-free food that follows the principles of sustainable development, is produced in a specific way, is certified by a specialized agency, and is permitted to use the green label. Actively developing green agriculture and adhering to the concept of sustainable development has become a global strategic move to meet international challenges.
Developing green agriculture is necessary for adhering to sustainable development and protecting the environment. Compared with green agriculture, "black agriculture" often relies heavily on large farm machinery, chemical fertilizers and pesticides, which not only consumes large amounts of non-renewable energy but also causes soil loss, air and water pollution and other harmful consequences. Developing green agriculture, however, can fundamentally solve these problems. With "green environment," "green technology" and "green products" as its core, green agriculture drives the shift from chemical agriculture, which relies excessively on chemical fertilizers and pesticides, to ecological agriculture, which mainly relies on the internal mechanisms of organisms.
The black guinea pig, originally called the guinea pig mongoose, is a small, grain-saving herbivorous animal with extremely strong reproductive capacity. Its meat is tender and delicious, fragrant and crisp, with no gamey or rank smell. It is a low-fat, low-cholesterol meat and a premium tonic among black foods, with a very strong wild-game flavor. Its fur is also a good processing material for fur clothing and craft ornaments, and its testicles, gallbladder and blood are raw materials for the pharmaceutical industry.
The black guinea pig is black all over, with an extremely high melanin content, and has both medicinal and edible uses. It can eliminate free radicals in the human body, lower blood lipids, support yang function and relieve stomach problems. It has a clear dietary therapeutic effect on high blood pressure and coronary heart disease, and is regarded among the people as a "treasure for strengthening the body."
The Chinese black guinea pig is a precious herbivorous animal that combines wild-game value, medicinal value, food value, fur value, ornamental value and nourishing value. Its meat is delicious and highly nutritious. According to testing by relevant experts, black guinea pig meat is a high-protein, low-fat, low-cholesterol food, rich in the seventeen amino acids and various trace elements needed by the human body, especially rich in the anti-cancer elements zinc and selenium as well as melanin, which has a bidirectional regulatory function in the human body. It has effects such as nourishing yang and promoting body fluids, detoxifying and regulating qi, beautifying and improving intelligence, invigorating blood and unblocking meridians, anti-aging and beautifying, and resisting and preventing cancer, and it has a very good conditioning function for high blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and other conditions in middle-aged and elderly people.
Black guinea pigs are easy to raise, low in cost and fast to breed, making them very suitable for rural household farming. The black guinea pig is a typical small herbivorous domestic animal and does not compete with people or livestock for grain. Various wild grasses, tree leaves, vegetable leaves, straw, sugarcane leaves and dry rice straw are all high-quality feed for it. Raising black guinea pigs can make full use of these abundant resources in China, enabling farmers to obtain relatively good economic returns and high-grade wild-game natural black nutritional tonics in a short time. Raising 5 to 10 pairs in spare time does not affect production or work. They can be raised in wooden boxes, bamboo cages or brick pools 30 cm high in idle rooms, under staircases, on balconies and similar places, and the process is clean, hygienic and pollution-free. More than 10 can be raised per sq m. Each female guinea pig can produce 4 to 6 litters per year, with 2 to 8 young per litter, and can reproduce about 30 young per year in cycles. Raising one pair of black guinea pigs brings an annual income of about 400-500 yuan. Black guinea pigs have strong disease resistance and no threat of plague. Under normal farming conditions, no injections or medicines are needed, and the farming conditions and technical requirements are simple. They are very suitable for urban and rural households to raise and are a good project for quickly escaping poverty and becoming wealthy.
With the improvement of people's living standards, pursuing deliciousness, nutrition, health benefits and a return to nature has become a new fashion for modern people. The black guinea pig, with its strong wild-game flavor, complete nutrition and high dietary therapeutic effects, precisely caters to people's pursuits. Therefore, eating black guinea pigs is bound to become a new favorite on people's dining tables.
We need to consider joining with a relatively large black guinea pig farm. So-called joining means we must give up part of the benefits for the large farm to earn. Because large farms have high credibility and invest a lot in marketing, sales are generally not a problem. Small black guinea pig raisers should take the initiative to form cooperative relationships with black guinea pig bosses. Second, when you raise black guinea pigs, you must consider choosing a site that is as convenient for transportation as possible. For example, at our Wuming farm, drivers passing by see the billboard and will also drive in to buy a few to eat themselves. Third, do sales yourself. In our farm's first year, we also did not know who to sell to. We thought about selling to our original supplier, but they did not want them. We relied on ourselves, invested in local advertising and sought orders from restaurants, and within half a year the sales problem was solved. We have a border-chain base in Nanning, in a township. At first it was also hard to sell, and others were unwilling to go into the mountains to buy black guinea pigs. Later we had them contact township units. Many township leaders, when entertaining guests, happened to want to eat wild game, so they wanted black guinea pigs. Later there were not even enough to sell.
