After many years working in other provinces, in 2016, Mr. Nguyen Danh Hoang decided to return to his hometown to start his own business. Wanting to make good use of his family's hilly land and the readily available local resources, he researched and developed a type of chicken feed made from corn, rice, soybeans, combined with calcium-rich worms, also known as black soldier fly larvae. This feed is highly nutritious for poultry, containing 5.8% calcium and up to 42% protein.

During the egg-laying period, Mr. Hoang will mix calcium-rich worms with other feeds to ensure the chickens absorb sufficient nutrients and produce the best quality eggs.

Mr. Nguyen Danh Hoang, Director of Hoang Thuy Agricultural Production and Livestock Service Cooperative, said: " I chose this model to reduce input costs, improve product quality, create differentiation for eggs, and reduce waste released into the environment."

In early 2020, Mr. Nguyen Danh Hoang, along with his friends, established the Hoang Thuy Agricultural Production and Livestock Service Cooperative, investing in building a farm on an area of over 2 hectares. Currently, the farm has over 10,000 chickens, including 5,000 laying hens, capable of harvesting 4,000 eggs daily. In addition to supplementing calcium, the chickens are fed organic feed and grow and develop in a natural environment, resulting in high-quality eggs. According to testing results from specialized agencies, the cooperative's calcium-fortified chicken eggs contain no banned substances in livestock farming, no antibiotic residues, and no growth stimulants, and have higher nutritional value than regular eggs. Notably, the calcium content reaches 357 mg/1kg of eggs, 1.5 times higher than regular chicken eggs.

In April 2024, the calcium-rich chicken eggs produced by Hoang Thuy Agricultural Production and Livestock Service Cooperative were recognized by the People's Committee of Nhu Thanh District as a 3-star OCOP product.

Mr. Dinh Xuan Duong, Vice Chairman of the People's Committee of Mau Lam commune, Nhu Thanh district, Thanh Hoa province, said: " Currently, this cooperative is expanding its model to other communes. We are promoting it to local people so they can visit, learn from the model, and replicate it."

Building on its initial successes, Hoang Thuy Agricultural Production and Livestock Service Cooperative is expanding its partnerships, transferring technology to farmers, increasing the number of chickens, boosting egg production, and enhancing the brand of calcium-fortified chicken eggs to meet the growing demand of consumers inside and outside the province.
