However, the profit of raising chickens needs to consider other cost factors. First of all, land occupation is a consideration. Based on raising 50 chickens per mu, 1000 chickens need 20 mu of land, and the annual land rent is 2000 yuan. Secondly, the investment in the construction of henhouses is also very important. The average cost per square meter is about 50 yuan, and the area and cost of henhouses required for 1000 chickens is about 5,000 yuan. In terms of the cost of chickens, it is about two yuan each, and the investment of 1080 chickens is expected to exceed 2,000 yuan.
Feed and vaccine are important expenses in daily operation. Each chicken needs 1 kg feed every day, and 1,000 chickens need 1000 kg feed every day, about 1200 yuan every day. If the average cost of roosters (2.5 kg, 9 yuan per kg) is included, the cost of each rooster is 23.5 yuan. After deducting the cost, the profit of each rooster is above 7 yuan, and the profit of raising 1,000 cocks is expected to be above 7,000 yuan. The profit of hens is about 14 yuan. Overall, the economic benefits of raising chickens are considerable.
In chicken raising skills, for example, rats can be effectively prevented by using potassium permanganate and formaldehyde to treat rat holes; Fresh bean cakes need to be sprayed with poison first, dried and stored to avoid hair growth; The choice of feed particle size is also very important, which should be adjusted according to the size of chicken to improve the feed utilization rate.
To sum up, although raising chickens requires a certain initial investment, raising chickens can indeed bring considerable profits through reasonable management and cost control. However, the specific benefits also need to be determined according to market conditions and personal management ability.
