County at forefront of special chicken breed
China DailyNearly 14 tons of fresh eggs from Guyuan, Ningxia Hui autonomous region, arrived in Hong Kong on Oct 31 after a 72-hour trip in refrigerated containers. At present, the number of Chaona chickens in Pengyang has hit some 1.25 million, producing 1,955 metric tons of eggs, said Luo Jincai, Party secretary of Xiaocha township. As one of the leading enterprises of the Chaona Chicken industry in Pengyang, Ningxia Wansheng Industrial Co Ltd has helped set up 100 demonstration villages involving 2,000 farmers, raising 1.25 million chickens with annual sales hitting 18 million yuan. She said that with the full support of the Pengyang division of State Grid Ningxia Electric Power, the breeders have upgraded feeding, waste management, and ventilation equipment, allowing the chickens to live in "villa-like" cages, and achieving large-scale and standardized farming. To fully support the chicken farms, staff members from the Pengyang division of State Grid Ningxia visited the Chaona Chicken farm in Xiaocha village on Oct 21, conducting electricity checks and equipment inspections, and guiding the farm in implementing corrective measures to ensure optimal operation of all equipment.
