The incubation period of pigeons is 17 ~ 18. Pigeons were initially fed pigeon milk in their parents' crops, and then gradually changed from half milk and half grain to soaking grain. Pigeons for meat grow very fast, and their weight can reach 500-700g at the age of 25-30 days. Take an annual output of 6 pairs of breeding pigeons as an example. The price is subject to the current purchase price of the foreign trade department, deducting the feed fee, medicine fee and management fee. Raising a pair of breeding pigeons can earn 100 ~ 150 yuan every year. If young pigeons are selectively cultivated at the age of 2 ~ 5 months and sold as backup breeding pigeons, the profits will be greater and the prospects will be very considerable.
Suggestions on developing pigeon breeding industry
1. The development of pigeon breeding industry depends on leading enterprises and establishes stable contractual relations with them. What is the ultimate model of any mature aquaculture industry? Leading enterprise+base? 、? Leading enterprises+farmers? Or? Leading enterprises+cooperative organizations+farmers? . For farmers, relying on leading enterprises and establishing a stable contractual relationship with enterprises can effectively reduce market risks and ensure no losses. Enterprises generally implement one-stop service. For new farmers, it can relieve their worries about breeding technology, feed and sales, let them devote all their energy to breeding and increase economic benefits.
2. The investment in pigeon industry should be persistent. Aquaculture is a continuous process, and pigeon breeding is no exception. You must make a long-term plan before investing. If you invest this year, you will not raise it next year, and you will have nothing. Therefore, once the project is selected, it is necessary to persevere and adjust the scale and variety appropriately according to the market situation, so as to ensure that the market will make big money in good times and not lose money in bad times, and eventually become a big winner in aquaculture.
Cost and profit of pigeon breeding
1, revenue and expenditure in the first year
① Need to buy tools such as cages, troughs and sinks, such as 50 yuan.
② Buy a pair of pigeon 40 yuan.
(3) A pair of young pigeons need 50 grams of feed every day, the feed price is 1.34 yuan/kg, the growth period takes 4.5 months, and * * * consumes 6.75 kg (4.5 months? Thirty days? 50g, * * * 9 yuan (6.75kg? 1.34 yuan). A breeding cycle of pigeons is 45 days. Breeding pigeons can breed 5 nests in the remaining 7.5 months after maturity. Pigeon brooding consumption 100g/ day, feed price 1.54 yuan /kg. The brooding period is generally 25-28 days. If the average brooding period is 27 days, the brooding period of 5 young pigeons is * * *. 100g? 5 nests), a total of 20.79 yuan (13.5 kg? 1.54 yuan). Other time consumption is 4.5 kg, (7.5 months? Thirty days? 27 days? 5 nests)? 50 grams, a total of 6 yuan. Therefore, the feed cost in the first year needs 35.79 yuan (9 yuan in growing period+20.79 yuan in brooding period+6 yuan in other brooding periods).
(4) Epidemic prevention expenses, such as 2 yuan, water and electricity charges and the income from selling manure. Therefore, the total investment in the first year is 127.79 yuan (tool 50 yuan+breeding pigeon 40 yuan+feed 35.79 yuan+epidemic prevention and other 2 yuan).
⑤ Gross income in the first year: At present, the price of squab for 25-28 days is 9 yuan/pigeon. According to this price, 5 nests of *** 10 pigeons are born, and the gross income is in 90 yuan.
⑥ Net profit in the first year: The breeding period of breeding pigeons is generally 4-5 years. According to the four-year service life, the tool cost is calculated by 10 year depreciation, and the net profit is 37 yuan (90 yuan? 40 yuan? 1/4? 50 yuan? 1/ 10? 35.79 yuan? 2 yuan).
2. Annual income in the second year and beyond: after the second year, only the cost of feed and epidemic prevention is needed. Pigeons can lay 8 nests a year after normal production, with 2 pigeons in each nest. * * * can produce 16 young pigeons, realizing gross income 144 yuan, and the annual feed requirement is 36.5 kg, equivalent to 56.2 yuan. The annual investment is 58.2 yuan, and the net profit is 72.8 yuan.
Summary: Pigeon breeding is indeed a low-input and high-output breeding project with short breeding cycle, low cost, quick effect and high benefit. It is a promising aquaculture industry and a good project to get rich quickly. Dear friends, please study the local market according to the local actual situation and develop pigeon breeding according to local conditions.
