entire province. A "technical vocational school"
was jointly established by the institute and the educational
committee of Wenjiang in 1990 in order to coordinate with
the implementation of the National "Prairie Blaze

chickens in the countryside and the school has fostered
a technical backbone of over 300 personnel in raising
chickens for Wenjiang and several other organizations
in the province.After the Nongyou students go back, most
of them become the local experts in raising chickens.
