Talk about "Northwest Shanxi", thank you!

In mid-September, I drove in northwest Shanxi. Looking around, it is an intoxicating green: green grass is in the ravine, purple flowers are in full bloom in the thin field on the dry land, and the mountains where sheep once crawled all over the hillside are also green grass. While enjoying the north wind blowing grass, the reporter appreciated the sky blue and water blue in western Shanxi, and picked up several episodes of the process of raising cattle and sheep by ordinary people.

A sheep house is no worse than a human house.

Raising sheep is a tradition of people in northern Shanxi. In the past, the way of raising sheep was grazing. The common people vividly said that the sheep were driven out of the pen in the morning, drawn into the pen at night and walked on the hillside during the day. What about now? Sheep live in specially built houses, and sheepfolds are no worse than human houses.

In Laomajia, Huabiaozui Village, Shangguan Town, Daixian County, there is a yard where people and sheep live together, covering an area of more than 4 points. The main room facing south is a sheep shed, with a brick wall of nearly 3 meters, a straw curtain on the roof and a well-ventilated and well-lit floor, covering an area of nearly 80 square meters; Plus a small courtyard of nearly 80 square meters, surrounded by steel pipes, with a row of drinking water tanks outside. However, the Ma Lao family lived in a room facing south. Although it is also made of bricks, it is not as big as the sheepfold, and the lighting is obviously not as good as the sheepfold. More than 30 sheep are grazing happily. The old horse looked at the sheep and said happily, "If people want to live a happy life, they should let the sheep live a comfortable life." Every morning, the old horse is busy in the "sheep villa", cleaning the sheepfold, disinfecting, feeding and changing water. In summer, I am afraid of heatstroke in sheep, so I often give sheep injections to cool down and prevent heatstroke.

It is true that only when sheep live a good life can people live a happy life. After the old horse immigrated from the mountain, he planted 29 mu of alfalfa instead of crops, and sold nearly1000 sheep a year, earning more than 10000 yuan, which was several times higher than the income of planting dry land corn in the past. It is understood that since Yanmenguan Ecological Animal Husbandry Economic Zone was launched in the whole province, there have been thousands of house-feeding farmers like Ma Lao in Qian Qian. Relying on returning farmland to forests, they replanted alfalfa and grass sorghum, built spacious sheep houses and cattle houses, carried out improved seed breeding and scientific feeding, and embarked on the road of getting rid of poverty and becoming rich.

The conditions in the veterinary hospital are really good.

There are five snow-white bungalows in Mitsui Town, kelan county, with a big red "X" painted on the wall. There are signs such as breeding room, laboratory and epidemic prevention room on the door, and advanced inspection equipment is placed inside. Bottles and jars contain various colors of potions and tablets, which are very conspicuous compared with the caves of nearby villagers. This is a hospital specializing in epidemic prevention, quarantine, treatment and breeding of cattle and sheep.

Compared with the climate in mountainous areas in early autumn, the veterinary hospital looks steaming. In the laboratory, veterinarians are fiddling with virus detection instruments, people are coming and going in pharmacies, and veterinarians in the yard are taking a cow's temperature, touching its head and looking at its eyes from time to time, and people come in to ask questions from time to time. Liao Haijin, the stationmaster of the Veterinary Center Station, said happily, "The institute undertakes the epidemic prevention and quarantine work of 31000 farmers and10000 cows, sheep, pigs and chickens in two towns and villages, and sometimes people knock at the door at night to ask about their illness and buy medicine." Lao Liu, a farmer who came to buy medicine, interjected: "Although this is a veterinary hospital, the conditions are not bad. Cattle and sheep can be cured of all diseases, medicine can be bought, and cattle can help to conceive calves. "

What Lao Liu said was not a joke. Since its establishment in 2002, Mitsui Veterinary Center has been equipped with eight staff members with professional titles, and established a series of rules and regulations such as post responsibility system and attendance system. The immunization rates of foot-and-mouth disease in livestock and brucellosis in cattle and sheep in the service area reached 200% and 1 0,000% respectively. The annual business income of the center is about 1 10,000 yuan, and the per capita monthly salary exceeds10.3 million yuan. Speaking of the good conditions of the veterinary hospital, Lao Liao explained: "In this poor place, sheep are the lifeblood. The government invested in building a veterinary hospital, so that farmers can engage in animal husbandry with peace of mind, make a fortune and earn cattle money. "

Play the lute to a cow and see for yourself.

"Playing the lute to the cow" means that the cow doesn't know music, so it is necessary to play the lute to the cow and let the cow appreciate the sound of the piano. For thousands of years, playing the lute to a cow has become a derogatory term, used to laugh at people who don't look at the object and aim at it. But in Dongye Town, Wutai County, the reporter witnessed the scientific breeding method-casting pearls before swine.

In the cowshed of Wutai Dongye Town Cow Breeding Company, the sound of piano bursts, and the soft and soothing piano music surrounds it. It is not people who enjoy music, but cows in the cowshed. Cattle either lie leisurely on the ground, or stand quietly on the ground, or eat grass or drink water. Melodious piano music is floating in the cowshed. Cows seem to understand. They looked up at it from time to time, and some pricked up their ears. He Jianbing, the boss of the company, said: "It used to be a derogatory term to play the piano for cows, but here it is a scientific breeding method. Play light music for 3 hours every day when cows eat feed to increase milk production and improve the taste and quality of milk. Play light music when milking, so that cows can produce milk comfortably. "

Not only that, the company also hired a full-time dairy nutritionist from Taiyuan at a large price to prepare feed for dairy cows according to their growth and certain nutritional requirements every day; More than 600,000 people imported an electronic nipple massager from France to massage cows' nipples when they are milking.

Cattle listen to music, sheep live in good houses, and the conditions in veterinary hospitals are really good, all of which happened in northwest Shanxi. Ma Tianrong, deputy secretary of Xinzhou Municipal Committee, commented: "Returning farmland to forests and raising livestock is one of the most effective ways to increase farmers' income and get rid of poverty, which not only helps farmers get rid of poverty, but also makes northwest Shanxi, where the ecological environment has been seriously damaged, beautiful and moving, and realizes the harmony between man and nature.
