Mohe Camel Farm Reward new vitality

Xinhua News Agency, Xining, June 17 (Reporter Wang Yan and Fan Peizheng) The Qinghai -Tibet Plateau in June has faded away. More than 100 peaks of camels on the breeding point of the Mohe Mid -Bridge raised their heads and looked around.

"Girl! Come here!" As soon as La Mao's voice fell, a small camel rushed to her. La Mao is a pastoral worker of Qinghai Chaidamon Farm Reclamation Mohe Camel Field Co., Ltd. Putting the camel, entering the circle, collecting camel hair, picking up the camel lamb ... La Mao, 23 years old, followed his father for more than a year at the Mohe Camel Field. Now he is already a "old hand -raised veteran".

The Mohe camel field where La Mao is located is located in Wulan County, Haixi Mongolian Tibetan Autonomous Prefecture, Qinghai Province. In 1955, after the Tibetan Transport Corps was revoked, it was transferred to the State -owned Qinghai Chandam Camel Camel Farm and became a large state -owned camel field.

"When my father first came to Mohe, this is the deserted beach. Looking at no trees, all of them are dry sand, and the low -dry desert plants are blown into the color of the sand." Qinghai Chai Chai Chai Chai. Zhang Shangyun, deputy general manager of Damu Nonggu Mohe Camel Field Co., Ltd. said.

The living environment is harsh, and the camel industry has also reached a trough. With the continuous improvement of the modern traffic network of the Qinghai -Tibet Plateau, the demand for transportation has decreased, and the number of camels in the Mohe Camel Field decreased year by year.

"No matter how hard you are, you must persist." In order to transform the environment, the tree planting has better living conditions; the camel raises the spirit, inheriting the spirit and protecting high -quality germplasm resources. The older generation of camel workers had a simple ideal, while raising camels and planting trees.

After several generations of camel workers, the desert that had not seen a tree has now become an oasis. The poplars and willow trees are upright and handsome, sea buckthorn and wolfberry lush. In 2020, the Mohe Camel Field was also rated as "National Forest Introduction Base" and became the first national forest recreation base in the Chaidama Basin.

The environment has changed, and the camel industry has also ushered in new development opportunities. With the continuous improvement of people's quality of life, the industries such as camel milk and camel velvet have developed rapidly. Camels that can only be used to transport goods have new economic value.

"One pound of camel milk can be sold for 40 yuan a pound as soon as it is squeezed out. If it is delivered to the city, the price is higher!" La Mao calculated a account, a peak mother camel can produce camel milk 4 pounds a day, 4 catties 4 pounds a day. For left and right, 50 pounds of 50 pounds, a day of milk can earn 8,000 yuan. Raising camel is no longer a "chicken rib", but becoming "fragrant".

Zhang Shangyun introduced that with the expansion of the scale of breeding and the improvement of breeding technology, at present, the number of camels in the Mohe Camel Field exceeds 700 peaks, and the number of Nissan camel milk has reached 500 catties. The camel milk industry has become a new driving force for the development of the camel.

In addition to camel milk, many industries such as Kangyang, tourism, and animal products processing also blossomed and fruitful at the Mohe Camel Field. In September 2020, the Mohe Camel Field was selected as "the second batch of national rural industry integration development demonstration parks", and a series of industrial projects also landed here: "Tourist Star Empty Room" and old houses were built in the woods. It is transformed into a "local style" homestay ... This Mohe Camel Farm, which has inherited the older generation of pioneering spirit, is giving up a new vitality.
