(HBO) – Households in Hoa Binh have developed livestock breeding with many effective models of cooperation groups and cooperatives in buffalo and cow breeding. In Luong Son district, the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep village, Hop Chau commune is considered as a typical one.

The breeding cow growing model of member households of Nguyen Thi Thuy cooperation group shows high efficiency.

The daily job of Nguyen Xuan Linh and his wife, members of the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep village, is cutting and gathering grass for cows.

Linh said that since 2014 when he started switching the breeding of other kinds of livestock to cows, his family’s income has been improved and become more stable.

As an agricultural village, Nghia Kep has favourable natural conditions for breeding and cultivation.

Nguyen Cong Chinh, head of Nghia Kep village said that while switching the structure of plant cultivation, the village has set up a number of models attracting households with the same interest and goal to support each other to sustainably reduce poverty and become richer.

Three typical and effective groups in the locality are those to develop citrus trees, chicken and breeding cow.

With 16 members, the breeding cow cooperation group in Nghia Kep currently has 37 cows. Incomes of its members are from middle to high level.

The locals have had strong awareness of ensuring reserve food for cows as well as methods to raise, and prevent diseases for the cow herd, thus maintaining sustainability and efficiency of the model.

So far, the model has been expanded to the whole village, bringing the total cows to 60, contributing to enhancing per capita income for locals to 17 million VND in 2018 and expectedly 20 million VND in 2019.
