If the loach is cultivated in a standardized way, there will be a market and the benefits will be considerable. Raising an acre of loach, the breeding benefit is about 15800 yuan/year. The cost of raising an acre of loach includes the feed cost of about 9600 yuan, normal epidemic prevention and disinfection and water transfer supplies of about 500 yuan, and water and electricity maintenance of about 500 yuan. The average yield of loach is more than 2,000 Jin per mu. After deducting the total cost of farming, an acre of loach can earn about 7,900 yuan, and most parts of the country can be farmed twice a year.

First, the cost of raising an acre of loach

The input of loach breeding is mainly seed and feed. Novice loaches mostly choose inch seedlings (loach seedlings with specifications of 3-5cm). At present, it takes about 3,500 yuan to raise inch seedlings per mu of field. Float fish feed with protein content above 36% is the main feed. According to the current breeding level, the feed cost of raising a catty of loach is 4.8 yuan, and the yield per mu of loach is generally above 2,000 jins, and the feed cost needs 9,600 yuan. 500 yuan is needed for normal epidemic prevention and disinfection and water transfer supplies, and 500 yuan is needed for water and electricity maintenance. The total cost of raising an acre of loach is about 14 100 yuan.

Second, the income from raising an acre of loach

Generally, loach yields more than 2,000 Jin per mu. Calculated by 2,000 Jin, the market price is calculated by the current average wholesale price 1 1 yuan, and the income is 22,000 yuan. After deducting the total cost of breeding, an acre of loach can earn 7900 yuan. The breeding period of inch loach seedlings is about 100 days, and most parts of the country can be cultured for two seasons a year, so raising an acre of loach can earn 15800 yuan a year. At the same time, with the continuous improvement of farmers' breeding technology, there are more and more people who breed by themselves or buy splash seedlings, and the investment in cultivating splash seedlings of loach will be less, and the breeding efficiency will be higher.
