The dairy cow breeding model of Ms. Quach Thi Le (far right), Dong Danh village, Phu Thanh commune (Lac Thuy) gives high economic efficiency.
Visiting the dairy cow husbandry model of Ms. Quach Thi Le's household, Dong Danh village, we were surprised with the scale of the barn and modern design that Ms. Le built. Cows are kept closed, fed and bathed daily; Waste from barns is fully utilized, composted and used to fertilize crops, increasing economic efficiency, saving costs, and protecting the environment. Building the model in 2020, from the initial 5 breeds, Ms. Le has grown to 26 cows. The price of milk purchased by the company is stable under the contract at 15.500 VND/liter, 200-250 liters of milk per day, the model gives over 1,1 billion VND/year. With hard work and hard work, Ms. Le's family's economic life is increasing day by day. In order to increase her income, Ms. Le plans to expand the scale of the barn and increase the number of dairy cows compared to the current one.
Ms. Le shared: “I have signed a consumption contract with Vietnam Dairy Products Joint Stock Company (Vinamilk), so the processes from food source, care, exploitation and preservation must comply with strict requirements. strict to ensure quality. The source of animal feed is elephant grass, biomass corn, no pesticides, no growth drugs, this helps dairy products to ensure safety and quality for consumers. At the same time, the model is supported by staff of the dairy company with technical support, how to care for and prevent common cattle diseases, so the cows grow healthy. Thereby building prestige and trust for consumption partners, ensuring stable and long-term output, creating sustainability for the model."
Dairy farming appeared in Phu Thanh commune since 2019. A number of livestock households visited and learned models from the province to apply locally. With a temperate climate, many advantages, stable development models, high productivity. Up to now, the whole commune has 4 small and medium-sized dairy farms, all of which have signed long-term consumption contracts with Vinamilk, with stable output and prices, helping farmers to feel secure in breeding and production.
It is known that according to the signed contract, farmers must follow strict procedures from the purchasing company. On the contrary, the company commits to buy milk daily, not to reduce the purchase price if the milk quality meets all the required criteria. Compared with other livestock, dairy farming brings high economic efficiency, many times superior, but the initial investment cost is large. The kind of golden cows that people still raise costs 15-17 million VND/breed, dairy cows cost 50-60 million VND/head, livestock barns must also be clean for high productivity and milk production. This is a well-invested model from all stages, so in order to build and develop the model, households need large initial capital, experienced people, and animal husbandry techniques to support, otherwise they will lose money. difficult to succeed. However, this is still an effective economic development direction, because the income from dairy cows is completely worthy of the efforts of the farming households.
Comrade Bui Thi Hoa, Vice Chairman of Phu Thanh Commune People's Committee said: “The transformation of the economic structure, crops and livestock in the locality, in which the dairy farming models bring positive results, has brought positive results. . This is a promising livestock breed, bringing much higher income than some other breeding models. Therefore, the commune continues to create the most favorable conditions for households to access, visit and learn from experience. At the same time, creating favorable conditions for households to access loans to expand livestock production, increase income, and create jobs for workers, gradually becoming one of the key economic sectors in the area.
