In addition to making money from feeding pigs this year, the most profitable thing is raising chickens and raising cattle and sheep. However, for cattle and sheep, the cost is still very high, and the price of a cow and sheep is also very high. , so the cost of raising chickens is relatively low. Except for the high price of pork this year, the rest are egg poultry. In general, chicken raising in the past was carried out in a tepid situation, and the market The demand is still relatively medium and relatively traditional, but this year is different. Driven by the price of pork, the prices of broiler chickens and eggs are also rising. Therefore, this year is also the focus of raising egg poultry. So for many experts in previous years Raising chickens in the forest is highly recommended, but why have chickens disappeared in recent years?

In fact, for forest farming, it was also a relatively popular breeding technology in the past few years. The main breeding mode is to raise chickens in the woods, and some are to raise chickens in orchards. These It is called understory chicken farming. It is such a farming model. Many people have caught the limelight and joined this industry one after another. In the past, in the restaurants where we ate, we would order a so-called understory chicken. Chickens are also called treadmill chickens, because these chickens rarely require much management after being raised. Sometimes it is enough to simply get some feed, and the rest of the time is spent among the chickens looking for food. For consumers, , this kind of chicken is indeed very healthy, at least for farmers, it is a value-added breeding model. The value of this kind of forest chicken is also very high, but for farmers who are unwilling to breed it, I personally summarized the following two point.

First, the cost is high and sales are difficult

For raising forest chickens, the biggest cost is the space. If this breeding site is rented, it will cost tens of thousands a year. block, even higher in some areas. When raising forest chickens, we need to invest in fruit trees and other large trees in the early stage. This is an expense. The other thing is to strengthen the protective measures in the park. After all, chickens also have many natural enemies. , this still needs to be prevented. In addition, in terms of feed, especially when natural feed is scarce, we have to put in feed manually, and the cost of feed will increase. In addition, the breeding cycle of forest chickens is relatively long, and the slaughter rate is relatively high. Slow, not as fast as the slaughter rate of breeding in farms. In addition, forest chickens are a gimmick. In the early stage, some consumers tried it, but later it became very common and had no special features, so no one cared about it in the later stage. Failure to open up sales is a flaw.

Second, the destructive power is high, and farmers engage in fraud

For this destructive power, we are mainly talking about when chickens are raised, because they are raised in orchards or woods, these chickens They are definitely not very honest, especially if they like to dig the ground. In this way, many trees will be damaged by these chickens. Once there is a problem with the trees, these trees will be destroyed quickly and die, which will increase the cost. Some farmers also resorted to fraud when raising forest chickens. Some unscrupulous farmers used three-yellow chickens to pretend to be free-range chickens. After a long time, consumers were not stupid. They also hated such breeding consumers, so they didn't do it later. Consumers are willing to pay the bill.

In general, if you want to develop better development of understory chicken breeding, you still need to operate it honestly. However, for some novices, I feel that if you want to carry out understory chicken breeding, A certain capital chain is still needed. After all, this breeding model is relatively expensive. With an economic foundation, it can still be cultivated.
