Lead:? Leech has high medicinal value, can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge menstruation and activate collaterals, and can be used in the processing and production of health care products and cosmetics. ?
Speaking of leeches, people are chilling. Fields, ponds, streams, these black, soft and sticky little guys are crawling around, and the rivers and lakes are called? Water vampire? .
? Actually, it's not as scary as I thought ? Jingzhou city? After 90? Wei Xiang, a college student farmer, said with a smile in a recent interview. The leeches we breed belong to the wide-body golden leech. They don't suck blood, but they can? Absorb gold to help farmers get rich. ?
? Leech has high medicinal value, can promote blood circulation, remove blood stasis, dredge menstruation and activate collaterals, and can be used in the processing and production of health care products and cosmetics. ? Wei Xiang said that at present, fresh leech 140 ~ 150 yuan/kg, dry leech 1200 yuan/kg, the average yield per mu of cultivated leech can reach more than 400 kg, and the net profit per mu can reach 20,000 ~ 30,000 yuan.
At first, Wei Xiang was afraid and hated leeches. An accidental meeting made him insist on leeches. ? Once I visited my classmate's house, it happened that his parents were feeding snails to the leeches. I was curious at that time, and I began to have a good impression on these little guys after learning more about them. ? Wei Xiang said that he later participated in the entrepreneurship training for young farmers at Yangtze University and was deeply inspired. He quickly formed a team to start a business.
According to Wei Xiang, leeches mainly live in inland fresh water, while Jingzhou is rich in water resources and snails. Yangtze University is the first in China to carry out research on artificial cultivation of leeches. Their team exchanged and cooperated with relevant professors from the Institute of Sports Science of Yangtze University, and gained the advantage of solving technical problems. In 20 15, they established an agricultural company, and established three artificial leech breeding bases in Mashan, Meihua Branch and Taihu Farm, covering an area of 400 mu.
Breeding leeches artificially is very hard, and there is not much ready-made experience to learn. Wei Xiang told reporters that the main time for leeches to breed is at night. At present, there is no particularly effective medicine to prevent and control leech diseases. So the requirements for pond disinfection and pond patrol are particularly high, especially at night? Home cooking? .
? Although our team is young, everyone can bear hardships, be good at learning and be enterprising. This is our greatest advantage and the secret of our success. ? Wei Xiang said that in 20 16 years, they cultivated more than 20 million leeches annually, driving 50 leeches in Jingzhou, with an annual output of 90,000 kilograms and an annual sales income of126,000 yuan. With the development of scale, they plan to drive more people to cultivate leeches by means of seedling supply and technical support, and set up a professional leech production association in Hubei Province to build a one-stop industry of leech cultivation, processing and sales.
At the finals of the first Modern Young Farmers Entrepreneurship Competition held in Jingzhou recently, Wei Xiang relied on? Artificial culture and efficient culture of leeches? The project won the runner-up and received 6.5438+0.5 million yuan in support funds. ? The leech industry in Jingzhou will be as famous as Qianjiang crayfish and Xiantao eel. ? After winning the prize, Wei Xiang, 24, expressed himself with some brave words? Join agriculture, innovate and start a business? Determination and confidence.
