(HBO) – Mr. Nguyen Van Quan, (born in 1981), in Dong De hamlet, Dong Tam commune in Lac Thuy district, made a brave decision to invest in large-scale poultry raising three years ago.


Nguyen Van Quan, Dong De hamlet, Dong Tam commune in Lac Thuy district, is the owner of a chicken farm model meeting food safety standards. He sells around 2,000 commercial chickens per brood to the market.

 

Quan said he has accumulated many experiences after nearly 20 years raising chickens, which helped him minimize risks when investing in large-scale breeding. 

Taking advantage of a large area of hill land of his family, he built a solid farm with a fence system surrounding for raising free-range chicken.

 Quan chose Lac Thuy chicken, which has good meat quality, for his farm.

 Deciding to follow the direction of safe husbandry, he mainly uses natural food for the chickens. When the chicks are small, he feeds them bran but when they reach the weight of 0.4 -0.5kg per head, he feeds them entirely with corn and rice. 

Quan also pays special attention to preventing diseases, particularly regular checks and vaccination for chickens, and sanitation, detoxification and disinfection for the facilities.

He rakes in big profits from the farm especially on the occasion of Lunar New Year (Tet) festival because of great demand in the market and high prices.

In the 2018 Lunar New Year festival, the price for his chickens stood at 100,000 VND/kg, up 20,000/kg compared to normal days, helping him earn 130 million VND in profit.

 Quan’s farm raises three broods of chickens a year, selling 2,000-2,500 commercial chickens each brood and earning around 400 million VND a year.

Quan said he had linked up with many traders from other provinces, and his products are mainly sold in wholesale markets in Hanoi.

Apart from breeding chickens, Quan takes advantage of the hill and mountainous terrain in his farm to raise fish and goats. Feed for goats and fish all comes from available natural resources. Quan said he raked in a combined profit of over 500 million VND per year from raising chickens, goats and fish. He also revealed his plan to increase the number of chicken to 3,000 per brood in the coming time./.
