The grand training conference marking the launch of Leshou Duck Industry's 2021 pig-shed renovation-based meat duck farming model was held successfully.

The event was themed "Collaborative Success, Reaching New Heights," and drew over 200 participants, including group leaders, invited experts, pig farmers from across the Cangzhou region, as well as existing and prospective duck farmers who have already converted their pigsties into duck farms. The initiative spans farming areas in counties and cities such as Xian County, Cang County, Botou, Yanshan, Hejian, Suning, Wuqiang, Wuyi, Raoyang, and Fucheng.

During the visit, Xu provided an overview of Leshou Duck Industry’s Guozhuang Branch, covering its operational basics, production processes, strategic goals, and future development plans.

In today’s era, collaboration is the key—only mutual benefit and win-win partnerships can ensure long-term growth. As we step into the new year of 2021, we remain committed to upholding and promoting our core philosophy: "Be honest in character, and diligent in action," while wholeheartedly continuing to provide top-notch farming services to both new and existing breeders.

To ensure the success of this conference, the company has prepared three expert lecturers who provided detailed explanations on topics such as pigsty renovation, meat duck farming, and technical management. They also addressed specific farming-related technical issues with the farmers, helping them gain a more comprehensive understanding of livestock practices—knowledge that will empower them to better manage their operations and proactively prevent both feeding challenges and disease outbreaks in the future. After all, effective disease control is the key factor determining the profitability of our farmers.

Finally, Gao Xijun, Chairman of Leshou Agricultural and Pastoral Group, took "Sharing Honest Thoughts with Farmers" as his theme, outlining the group's vision to become China's leading brand in the green roasted duck carcass industry chain and a renowned name in the segmented duck meat market. He also provided an overview of Leshou Agricultural and Pastoral Group’s development journey, industry accolades, and quality certifications, giving everyone a deeper understanding of the company.

Le Shou Agricultural and Pastoral Group continues to strengthen its duck industry, providing farmers with a stable and profitable path to prosperity through poultry farming. The company is currently experiencing rapid growth, and partnering with Le Shou Duck Industry will ensure long-term benefits for you. Both the company’s duck carcass and segmented duck meat businesses are thriving, with products consistently in high demand—so much so that supply can’t keep up with customer needs. As a result, the company remains on a steady trajectory of expansion, guaranteeing sustained profitability for farmers. The construction and commissioning of the slaughterhouse at Le Shou Duck Industry’s Guozhuang facility have opened up tremendous growth opportunities for duck farmers. The company now operates three fully automated production lines: two dedicated to segmenting ducks and one focused on producing duck carcasses. Each line has the capacity to process 200,000 ducks per day, totaling 60 million ducks annually. This robust production capability positions the company to support and expand duck farming operations over the next three years, ensuring that farmers continue to benefit from this thriving industry.

Le Shou Agricultural and Pastoral Group has built two large-scale slaughter facilities capable of processing 80 million duck carcasses annually. This represents the biggest advantage and security for duck farmers in counties and cities such as Xian County, Botou, Cang County, Yanshan, Hejian, Suning, Wuqiang, Wuyi, Raoyang, and Fucheng, ensuring long-term protection of their farming profits.

The company's "Five Unified" farming model effectively bridges the gap between small-scale farmers and larger markets. What sets this "Five Unified" model apart is that it ensures farmers don’t bear market risks—they only take on management-related risks.

Over the next three years, the profitability of duck farming at Leshou Duck Farm is expected to improve significantly. First, the number of farming batches will increase substantially, eliminating the issue of empty sheds due to extended downtime—allowing all meat duck farmers to maintain a steady 7 to 8 batches per year. Second, farming densities will also rise dramatically: specifically, split ducks can now be raised at 6 to 8 birds per square meter, while duck carcasses will be farmed at 4 to 6 birds per square meter. As a result, farmers can confidently expect a substantial boost in annual profits throughout the year.

Over the next three years, Leshou Duck Industry will aggressively expand its breeding operations, aiming to add more than 500 new duck farmers in counties and cities including Xian County, Botou, Cangxian, Yanshan, Hejian, Suning, Wuqiang, Wuyi, Raoyang, and Fucheng. To address funding challenges for these farmers, the company has partnered with the government and financial institutions such as the Bank of China, China Construction Bank, and Xian County Rural Commercial Bank to introduce preferential loan policies specifically designed for duck farming. Farmers can now secure loans simply by signing a duck-raising contract and paying a small deposit—resulting in exceptionally low annual interest rates. Moreover, Leshou Duck Industry’s strong reputation as a nationally recognized, agriculture-industrialization-focused flagship enterprise serves as the foundation of trust for all its farmers.

Le Shou Agricultural and Pastoral Group will stay true to our original aspiration and keep our mission firmly in mind, ensuring we live up to the expectations of our vast network of farmers. We are committed to helping farmers across the board escape poverty and achieve prosperity, always serving as a strong support system—your "mother home"—dedicating ourselves to your success and well-being.
