Introduction to Guantao Eggs
Guantao has abundant agricultural and sideline product resources. Guantao is an important national commodity grain base and high-quality cotton base. It is the largest high-quality apple base in southern Hebei Province, the largest cultivation base for shiitake mushrooms in Hebei Province, and a key county for chicken farming. The per capita area of shiitake mushrooms and the number of laying hens in the province are the highest. Guantao County has formed a county-level characteristic economic pattern driven by famous markets such as Jinfeng and Taoshan, with eggs, vegetables, and shiitake mushrooms as the main products, and a one-stop industrialization of animal husbandry and planting industry. By the end of 1999, the total number of laying hens in the county reached 14.5 million, with an average of 58 per person. The greenhouse vegetable planting area was 25000 mu, and the mushroom planting area was 2 million square meters. The output value of the two major industries accounts for more than 70% of the total agricultural output value, and the per capita net income of farmers from the two industries accounts for 66% of the per capita net income of farmers. Last year, Guantao County was named by relevant national departments as the "Hometown of Chinese Egg Chickens", "Hometown of Chinese Edible Fungi", and "High Quality Double Spore Mushroom Production Base in China"
The development of egg chicken farming in our county is rapid and has become a pillar industry for agricultural development and farmers' income increase. It has played an important role in promoting the development of county-level economy and increasing farmers' income to become prosperous. As of the end of 2005. There are 19.34 million laying hens in the county. 67 per capita, ranking first in the country; The production of poultry eggs is 168200 tons, with an average of 630 kilograms per person; The output value of the egg laying industry reached 801 million yuan. At present, there are 5 specialized towns and villages for egg laying chicken farming in the county, and the number of specialized breeding villages has grown to 93, with a scale of 1 40000 households. In April 2000, our county was named the "Hometown of Chinese Egg Chickens"; In 2001, it was named a "Provincial Egg Chicken Production Base" by Hebei Province. One is the realization of industrialized operation. The industrialization rate of the egg laying industry in our county has reached over 90%. Jinfeng market is the sales leader of our county's egg industry, and has set up 442 egg sales outlets in large and medium-sized cities nationwide based on the Jinfeng market. Through the perfect sales network, "Jinfeng" eggs are sold to all provinces except Xizang and Taiwan. Some also export to countries such as Vietnam and Myanmar through border trade. Currently, in the Jinfeng market, each standard box (22 The price of a 5kg egg is 120 yuan, and based on the current price of eggs, each chicken can make a profit of more than 15 yuan, with considerable benefits. Secondly, the leading role of typical demonstrations has been significantly enhanced. The county high-tech breeding park has a total investment of 5.2 million yuan and was put into use in May 2002. It covers an area of 98 acres and has a designed egg chicken inventory of 100000. It is equipped with fixed facilities such as chick rearing houses, adult chicken houses, and veterinary medicine supply stations. The park implements the "five unifications" of unified management, unified service, unified chick introduction, unified epidemic prevention, and unified sales. In 2003, it was certified as a production area for pollution-free livestock products in Hebei Province. In 2002. Under the guidance of experts from the Animal Science Academy of Hebei Agricultural University, a zinc rich nutritional egg has been developed and officially launched on the market. The product has been awarded the third prize for scientific and technological progress in Handan City. In September 2003, we collaborated with Guangdong Songli Biotechnology Co., Ltd. Developed and produced "Doctor Red" brand nutritious eggs. At present, we are working on the certification of pollution-free laying hens. Thirdly, it has extended the industrial chain. The booming development of the egg laying chicken industry has driven the development of many related industries and extended the industrial chain. There are 12 feed production plants, over 150 animal medicine feed management enterprises, 13 chicken hatcheries, and 7 egg tray factories built in the entire county. There are 8 egg box factories, and the transportation and catering industries have become increasingly prosperous with the increase in the circulation of poultry and egg products.

The annual production of feed in the county is 90000 tons, with an output value of 140 million yuan
As the "hometown of Chinese egg laying hens", Guantao County has taken rapid action to strengthen three measures to ensure the safety of egg consumption and the sustained, rapid and healthy development of the egg laying industry. Firstly, it has strengthened the supervision of the egg market. Quickly carry out melamine testing on poultry products, establish temporary testing points in Jinfeng Market, and conduct timely testing on sold egg products. Only eggs that have been tested to be free of melamine can be sold in the circulation field with a testing report issuedThe second is to strengthen the supervision of the feed market. Focus on the inspection of protein raw materials, protein powder, cake, fish meal, meat and bone meal, etc. of feed production enterprises, organize law enforcement personnel to carry out dragnet screening, select resident supervisors from 15 feed production enterprises in the county, and prohibit illegal raw materials from entering the factory; Inspect feed management stores, warehouses, and counters one by one, and strictly inspect "three no" products
