The fragrant pig is a kind of pig in the wild boar family. It is named after its small size and early maturity. The fragrant pig has little milk flavor, very tender meat, and high nutritional value, so it is in great demand in the domestic market. So the breeding area is expanding every year. So how much money can you make from raising 10 fragrant pigs now? How much does it cost to invest? Let’s take a look with Jiaoyisou!

1. The cost of raising 10 fragrant pigs for one year

Housing investment cost: First of all, raising pigs requires building housing. Generally, one pig requires 2 square meters of housing area, and 10 pigs require 20 square meters. Generally, the construction cost of 1 square meter of housing is about 150 yuan, and the total cost is 3,000 yuan. If you add feeding equipment such as troughs and water tanks, the total cost will be more than 3,500 yuan.

Cost of raising pigs: If you want to raise 10 sows, you generally need 1 male pig. Now, the market price of female Xiang pigs is about 500 yuan, and male Xiang pigs only cost about 350 yuan, so the cost of raising pigs is about 5,400 yuan.

Feed cost: The growth cycle of Xiang pig is relatively slow. Generally, the amount of feed required to raise a fragrant pig for slaughter is about 180 kilograms, and 10 pigs require 1,800 kilograms. The current price of feed is about 8 cents per pound, so the total cost of feed is about 1,500 yuan. Including the feed investment for fattening pigs, the total cost is about 1,700 yuan.

Labor costs and miscellaneous costs: Because the number of 11 pigs is small, it can basically be managed by one person, and the labor costs are negligible. However, we still need to invest in various miscellaneous expenses, such as vaccines, medicines, water and electricity, etc. The total of 7788 is about 1,000 yuan. Therefore, based on the above data, we can roughly calculate that the cost of raising 10 fragrant pigs per year is about 12,000 yuan.

2. Profit from breeding 10 fragrant pigs

Sows can be bred that year. According to statistics, Axiang pigs give birth to about 2.2 piglets every year, and every 10 pigs give birth to 22 piglets. The average litter size for every 10 pigs is about 8, so the total litter size for 10 pigs is about 180. Then, the survival rate of the mini pigs is 90, and the number of pigs available for slaughter is 162. If sold as roast suckling pig, a small fragrant pig can be sold for 200 yuan, with a total output value of about 32,000 yuan. If the breeding costs are excluded, the profit can reach 20,000 yuan. If you sell fattening pigs, the breeding cycle is longer and the risks are greater, but the returns are higher.

3. How to reduce breeding costs

First of all, you need to pay attention to the selection of fragrant pig breeds. Fragrant pig breeds account for a relatively large proportion of funds in breeding investments. But be sure to ensure its performance and growth ability, and then choose a lower-priced variety. Then, understand the local environment, weather and other factors. Ensure that the fragrant pigs can adapt to the local environment after being introduced, and then reduce feed costs as much as possible while ensuring that the fragrant pigs have sufficient food and nutritional needs. Finally, we must do a good job in management to create a good growth environment for fragrant pigs and improve breeding efficiency.

The above is a brief introduction to how much money you can make by raising 10 pigs a year. The benefits of pig breeding are very high, but you must also pay attention to its breeding risks, and you cannot blindly breed them. So that’s it for today. This article is for reference only.
