(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./.
