(HBO) – Farming chickens by using herbs under standards of the "One Commune, One Product” (OCOP) programme has been carried out in Cao Son and Tu Ly communes by the Centre of Agricultural Services of Da Bac district, initially generating positive results.
The model of using herbal feed to
raise chickens by Vu Tien Dung, a resident in Binh Ly hamlet of Tu Ly commune
(Da Bac district), has proved highly profitable and attracted many visitors
coming to learn experience.
The model with nearly 2,000 chickens has been
implemented in Tu Ly and Cao Son communes. "Ga ri Lac Thuy”, a local chicken
variety, has been chosen since it has outstanding meat quality and is able to
adapt well to local farming conditions.
The Da Bac Centre of Agricultural Services has
helped five households in the two communes to implement this model, with each
household farming 300 - 500 chickens. Participants received complete support in
terms of chicks, vaccine, and coop disinfection substances, and aid worth 41
percent of farming materials and feed.
Ban Van Xuan, Vice Chairman of the Cao Son
communal People’s Committee, said this model has brought about practical
economic and environmental benefits and is also a new direction in chicken as
well as poultry farming, especially when consumers are paying more and more
attention to product quality and safety.
The model has harmoniously capitalised on
existing local farming resources and helped reduce the stench considerably
while manure has been used effectively for crop production, he noted.
Quach Thi Khieu, Director of the Da Bac Centre
of Agricultural Services, said the implementation of this model will help
enhance connectivity among farming households and subsequently increase
production value. During the farming process, farmers have monitored one
another’s practices to prevent local products from being mixed with those from
elsewhere, which may undermined their prestige.
Besides, the uniform application and scientific
and technical advances on a large scale has helped improve productivity and
quality. Besides, the centre has also assisted farming households to form
production groups or cooperatives to boost production supervision and sale.
Raising OCOP chickens on herbal diet is viewed
as a positive direction for developing livelihoods for residents in Da Bac
district. It is expected to create a typical product for the district, help
raise income, and contribute to local economic development during the new-style
countryside building process./.
