20 10 year 1 month, as in previous years, the hilly and mountainous areas in northeast Sichuan are gloomy in the sky and humid in the air. Almost every day, dense fog covers the fields of Shan Ye. Yuechi County, adjacent to Chongqing, is a traditional Angora rabbit breeding base in Sichuan. Farmer Zhang has been engaged in long-haired rabbit breeding since 2002. For him, what worries him most is not the breeding technology of long-haired rabbits, but the fluctuation of rabbit hair market price, which makes him difficult to grasp. The downturn of rabbit hair industry since 2005 has made all long-haired rabbit farmers, including him, "very hurt". The rabbit hair industry in China reached an unprecedented peak in 2003. At that time, the price of rabbit hair soared, and the coarse hair rose to 1 15 yuan per catty, rabbit hair 9 1 yuan, and first-class hair 82 yuan. According to the breeding cost of that year, the cost of a catty of rabbit hair will not exceed that of 50 yuan. Under such circumstances, the breeding of long-haired rabbits really made a group of rabbit farmers get rich first. However, it is precisely because of seeing such high profits. Many farmers began to invest in the breeding of Angora rabbits, and even some local governments made great efforts to develop Cheng Zhen. At that time, rabbits were everywhere. The relationship between supply and demand has changed rapidly in essence. As a result, in the case of oversupply, domestic rabbit hair began to dive sharply. In 2007, the price per catty dropped to 63 yuan for coarse wool, 5 1 for rabbit hair and 43 yuan for first-class wool, and the price dropped by almost half. At the same time, the increase in pork prices in 2007 caused the increase in feed and labor costs. Engaged in the breeding of long-haired rabbits, not only can not make money, but even lose money. As a result, many rabbit farmers lost confidence, complained that raising rabbits did not make money, and began to sell rabbits to kill them. It can be said that the large-scale killing of rabbits in 2007 is the fuse of the current price increase of rabbit hair. The industry said that the rabbit hair market fluctuated slightly in three years and greatly in five years. However, the rabbit hair market in 2008 still has no improvement. This little float and big float have passed, but the price of rabbit hair has not risen. As a result, more farmers began to turn to other industries. That is, around 2008, many individuals or enterprises that originally hoarded rabbit hair because of the low market price of rabbit hair also sold rabbit hair because they could not see the hope of the rabbit hair market and the pressure of capital interest. Therefore, the output of rabbit hair actually decreased in 2008, but the price of rabbit hair is still very low. When the market price of rabbit hair was low for several years, Sichuan farmer Zhang and most villagers took the same approach. The first is to reduce production and raising long-haired rabbits. Secondly, the cut rabbit hair is temporarily put away and ready to be sold at a high price. In addition, the feed of Angora rabbits is made by itself as far as possible, which reduces the purchase of finished feed and reduces the breeding cost. The price of 20 10 rabbit hair continued to rise, which made him see hope again. Unlike others, Zhang has never sold his rabbit hair. At present, his family has hoarded about 2 tons. Now that the price has gone up, he has hoarded a room full of money. As we all know, the quality of rabbit hair is declining in the later period, and the quality of rabbit hair should first start with the selection of rabbit species. At present, all angora rabbits in China are angora rabbits. After the introduction of Angora rabbits in various countries, German, French, Japanese, English and medium strains were gradually cultivated. China has introduced different strains of angora rabbits from abroad and continuously bred them, forming common angora rabbit strains such as Anhui strain, Zhejiang strain, Henan strain and Pearl rabbit strain. The "rabbit killing wind" formed in the long-haired rabbit industry around 2007 has promoted the improvement of rabbit species in a certain sense. Many farmers will naturally kill inferior rabbits first when they reduce their feeding. Long-haired rabbits with high wool yield were left behind. The factors that determine the quality of rabbit hair depend more on the rearing, management and storage of the day after tomorrow. In the case that the price of rabbit hair continues to be low and the price of concentrated feed for long-haired rabbits remains high. Some farmers began to increase the proportion of green feed and roughage for Angora rabbits, and even some farmers directly stopped the supply of concentrated feed. But long-haired rabbits need long hair besides growth and reproduction, so they need more nutrition. To ensure the supply of high-quality feed, rabbits are physically strong, with high wool yield, good quality and luster. If undernourished, the coat will be dry, inelastic, easy to agglomerate and of poor quality. It is conceivable that the quality of rabbit hair produced by long-haired rabbits who have just grown up eating all kinds of weeds is naturally quite poor. It is estimated that the long-haired rabbit in the cage will say helplessly: my living standard is directly related to the price of rabbit hair! Zhang, a Sichuan farmer mentioned above, keeps rabbit hair at home for at least one year and at most three or four years. The storage of rabbit hair is a highly technical matter, which is directly related to the quality of stored rabbit hair. For small farmers like Zhang, they naturally don't know much about the storage technology of rabbit hair. Even if they do, it is difficult to meet the requirements because of various hardware conditions.
