porcupines are tender in meat, delicious in taste, high in protein, low in fat, rich in calcium, phosphorus and other mineral nutrients, and are known as animal ginseng. Do you know how porcupines are slaughtered and pricked? What are the natural enemies? Is the breeding risk big? According to encyclopedic data, the natural enemies of porcupines are mink, lion, jaguar, etc. The biggest natural enemy is mink.

1. How to kill porcupines and how to remove their spines

Generally, the methods of killing porcupines are drowning, electric shock (the fishing machine commonly used in rural areas can be used), hitting the head with a stick, stabbing the heart with a knife, strangulation with a rope, etc. (it is best to kill porcupines by electric shock). After killing them, they will stab their throats and bleed into bowls and basins, and immediately cut off their internal and external genitals and anus.

How to remove the burr of porcupine:

1. Put the slaughtered porcupine on the shelf, add some cold water (85℃ water is most suitable) after the water boils, and spray the whole body burr against the burr direction, so as to easily remove the burr without hurting the skin.

2. After removing the thick and thin burrs, use a vise to remove the stubble root, beard and toenails, and then use a wire brush to brush off the fluff and thin black skin from front to back.

3. After washing the ketone body with clear water, you can barbecue the ketone body slightly with a liquefied gas blowtorch (or a liquefied gas stove) to burn off the short and fine fluff that has not been scraped clean, and then thoroughly clean the epidermis with a scraper.

2. The risk of porcupine breeding is high

1. The market potential is great: the new trend of special breeding has been integrated into the times, and the market demand is increasing, while the output of porcupine is low. Therefore, in order to make the public buy this kind of food, it is inevitable to expand breeding. Therefore, the porcupine breeding market is very broad.

2. Simple breeding and low cost: unlike other animals, porcupines have strong adaptability, and can survive in the environment of minus 1 degrees to 45 degrees. Generally, as long as the pens are kept clean and tidy during breeding, porcupines will not get sick. Therefore, relatively speaking, porcupines are easy to breed. In addition, the cost of raising porcupines is low, so it is worth choosing.

3. High return on investment: According to statistics, the annual feeding cost of each rented porcupine is only 22 yuan, and the net profit of each commercial porcupine is at least 1 yuan. Therefore, the net profit of a porcupine is at least 6 yuan, while the female porcupine can produce 2-4 porcupines every year, and the calving period is as long as 6-8 years, so it will continue to be profitable in the next two or three years.

Based on the above points, the prospects and advantages of porcupine breeding are obvious. Therefore, it is not difficult for us to conclude that the risk of porcupine breeding is extremely small.
