1, a rich variety: special animals, referring to the traditional breeding of livestock (pigs, cows, sheep, etc.), poultry (chickens, ducks, geese, etc.) and domestic fish (grass, silver carp, carp, bighead carp) other than the degree of domestication of the animals can be artificially domesticated. These animals have not yet been "domesticated". At present, more than 200 species are kept in China. The main ones include: special animals: such as cats, dogs, rabbits, small pigs, pocket pigs, foxes, raccoons, mink, lingcats, bears, muskrats, civets, musk, weasels, beaver rats, woolly mice, otters, velvet deer, bamboo rats, caddisflies, pets and so on. Special poultry: such as meat pigeons, pigeons, quail, black-boned chicken, cockfighting, pheasant, partridge, pearl chicken, ostrich, peacock, a variety of ornamental birds, and so on. Special aquatic products: such as turtles, soft-shelled turtles, puffer fish, bullfrogs, forest frogs, loaches, eels, river crabs, river shrimp, mussels, freshwater lobsters, Wuchang fish, red trout and so on. Special seafood: such as sea cucumbers, shrimps, clams, razor clams, scallops, eels, abalone, etc. Other special animals: such as Tibetan mastiffs, bees, scorpions, snakes, centipedes, leeches, mealybugs, ground beetles, forest frogs, snails, ants, cicadas, silkworm chrysalis, locusts, fly maggots and so on. No matter what special animals, have a high economic value, and can meet some special needs of human beings, such as food, clothing, cold, beautiful, decorative, health care, ornamental, play and so on. 2, a vast area: in China, it can be said that most places are suitable for the development of local special animal species. For example, in the South China Sea, you can develop special seafood, in the cold places in the north, suitable for the development of fur animals, in the swamps can develop freshwater lobster, in the mountains can be the development of mountain chickens, snakes and other animals. 3, rapid development: China's modern special farming, before 1978, mainly by a small number of state-owned units or state-licensed special villages and towns centralized breeding. After the reform and opening up, China's special breeding into the booming stage. Every year, there are a lot of varieties and a lot of people enter the special farming industry. Especially in recent years, China's special breeding in some species, in some localized places, the development rate of 200%, some even faster. 4, lucrative: "things are rare is expensive". Specialty products are also so. Specialty farming due to the relatively high technical threshold, risky, relatively small number, therefore, the profits of which are very lucrative relative to the traditional farming industry. Problems 1, technology backward: the development of special farming history is short, many varieties, and the serious lack of professional research institutions and personnel, resulting in the production of many technical problems have no way to solve. The development speed of the amount of special breeding and the corresponding technology development speed is very mismatched, and the corresponding drugs, feed and management methods lagging behind, resulting in a great risk of special breeding. 2、Small-family free-range breeding: the field of special breeding is very wide, but most of the varieties are sporadic small-family free-range breeding. Farmers began to raise, all based on experience to figure out alone, therefore, technology, feeding methods, feed, management, drugs and other related supporting elements of the development of a very slow, often by some of the problems to the difficult or lead to the tragedy of the "total annihilation". At the same time, but also lead to the discontinuity of the industrial chain, even if raised, but also can not be processed, direct sale is not convenient. 3, forced to follow the trend: China has a saying: "When the expensive do not catch, when the cheap do not lazy. However, many farmers, see the neighboring farmers make money, or the market is very good, large-scale, quickly on the horse, this forced to follow the trend of the practice, resulting in a number of farmers engaged in the special breeding of the family lost money, blood money. 4, blind speculation: in the special industry, some people are eager to get rich, once found or in the local breeding success of a variety, blindly, loudly do publicity, advertisements pouring species, selling species. If the seed source is pure, related technology, service can keep up, this is no excuse. However, in production, some people, in order to pursue short-term economic benefits, blind speculation, seed quality and no guarantee, supporting services and can not keep up with the excessive profits, and ultimately pitted others, but also harm themselves. Prospects for the development of special breeding 1, special breeding is to ensure that wildlife to meet human needs of the appropriate way: due to a variety of reasons, the sharp decline in wildlife resources, the original rely solely on the resources provided by wildlife has not been able to meet the needs of mankind, such as musk and other valuable medicinal herbs, as well as some of the wildlife for people's consumption, the only way out of its is artificial breeding. 2, the inevitable result of the social division of labor: with the gradual development of society, the requirements of the division of labor more and more detailed, more and more professional. Special farming industry, but also will gradually from the traditional side, auxiliary industry gradually detached, and will develop into an independent industry. Traditional livestock and poultry farming, will gradually move towards scale, grouping, integration and modernization. The relatively weak, and covers a wide range of special farming industry, it requires a lot of personnel, units to professional, in-depth, systematic engagement and improve the industry. Special farming industry is also the inevitable result of social development. 3, China's rural areas are suitable for the development of special farming: our country's large population, and the agricultural population accounts for a large proportion. Through China's reform and opening up over the years, the main source of income of the agricultural population has undergone a huge change. It has gradually developed from the traditional planting-based labor and income-generating mode to a mode of labor and income generation based on planting, animal husbandry and migrant labor. In terms of animal husbandry, the traditional large-scale animal husbandry is mainly based on pigs, chickens, cattle, sheep and fisheries. With the rapid development of the traditional animal husbandry, many Chinese farmers are no longer able to obtain high returns from the traditional large-scale animal husbandry production. And some just started and some even have not started the special farming industry, with small investment, small scale, feeding returns and other characteristics, it is suitable for our farmers to develop. 4, special farming prospects: the continuous development of human society, people's living standards gradually improve, some of the original standard of living is relatively low, do not dare to think, can not hope for the potential demand, now the demand is getting stronger and stronger. And most of the end-products of the special breeding is to meet these special needs of the people. For example, food-oriented abalone, sea cucumber, small aromatic pig, ostrich, peacock, snake, etc.; medicinal-based deer antler, bear gall bladder, scorpion, muskrat, etc.; clothing, decorative-based mink coat, fox fur strips, raccoon fur handicrafts, velvet tapestries; ornamental goldfish, Tibetan mastiffs, small pet pigs, caddisflies, etc.. With the continuous development of society, the prospect of special farming industry will be more bright. Problems that should be noted in the development of 1, the correct state of mind: "There is no pie in the sky". Any harvest is to rely on our labor to exchange. High return things, its risk is also big. Specialty farming is also so. The development of special farming must also be down-to-earth, hard-working pay. If you want to raise through special "overnight wealth" is not to. 2, according to local conditions: according to the local natural, climatic, geographic and human environment, choose to develop their own special breeding projects. Don't be confused by some people or propaganda, advertising. For example, it is suitable to raise fur animals in the north that have strong requirements for cold resources, while it is not suitable to raise snakes, turtles and other animals that require moist air in the north. 3、Scientific feeding: each kind of special animal has its own unique life habits. It also determines its feed, feeding, management, medication and other aspects of the specificity. When engaging in special breeding, do not ignore this particularity, must be in accordance with the characteristics of the species to scientific rearing. If we blindly copy the feeding methods of other species, it may bring us great losses. Pay particular attention to the feed! 4, the appropriate species: as prepared to engage in special breeding people, in the choice of species, must pay attention to choose a certain scale of special breeding species. Because, after becoming a scale, its seed source, feed, drugs, feeding, management, processing, sales have become a line, rather than an unfamiliar alone to raise their own, their own to figure out the feed, feeding management methods and their own to find outlets. For example, now if you want to go to raise polar bears and other rare specialty animals, it would be better to raise fur animals or muskrats and other specialty animals that already have a certain scale. 5, from strength to strength: breeding, should pursue a scale of efficiency. However, we must act according to our ability. Do not have the conditions in the case, blindly forced on the special breeding program, the ultimate loss is not worth it. According to our local climate, geography, human conditions and our own economic and technical strength, we should act according to our ability. Gradually expand the scale of the method is more prudent. 6, appropriate processing: the rearing of special products, should pay attention to appropriate processing, increase its added value. For example, fur animals, if it is directly sell water board, it is not as good as on the last and then sell the price. Directly sell musk, it is not as good as after simple processing sales of high income. 7, by-products are not "by-products": pay attention to the development of the economic value of by-products. For example, fur animals every year off the hair, can be collected for sale or for other purposes, the meat of animals developed into food, etc., feeding the spacing between the land suitable for planting trees, planting vegetables, not only to beautify the environment, but also to increase some income, save some costs. At present, China's special breeding projects are many, more suitable for the development of special breeding projects are also more, such as animal otter, mink, fox, raccoon, muskrat; poultry chickens, pigeons; freshwater special turtles, bullfrogs, loaches, mussels; special seafood in the sea cucumbers, abalone, shrimp, and so on, you can pay attention to the appropriate development. For those who have not yet become a line, the number and use of special animal species is particularly rare, should be carefully developed. Special aquaculture industry, is a human development is very early, the use of very early in the industry; at the same time, but also a very short history of large-scale breeding, the history of research is even shorter industry; or an industry is bound to develop and grow rapidly. With the development of human society and the further deepening of China's rural reform, China's special farming industry will flourish. I hope to help you!
