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 the feed consumption of * * * is 6.75 kg (4.5 months× 30 days× 50 grams, and * * needs 9 yuan (6.75 kg×1.34 yuan). A breeding cycle of pigeons is 45 days. After the breeding pigeons are mature, they can still breed 5 nests in the remaining 7.5 months. The breeding pigeons consume100g/day, the feed price 1.54 yuan/kg, and the brooding period is generally 25-28 days. If the average brooding period is 27 days, the brooding period of 5 young pigeons is 5. At other times, the material consumption is 4.5 kilograms, {(7.5 months× 30 days —27 days× 5 nests )× 50 grams}, totaling 6 yuan. Therefore, in the first year, the feed cost needs to be 35.79 yuan (9 yuan in the growth period+20.79 yuan in the brooding period+6 yuan in other brooding periods).
Other costs of pigeon breeding: (1) You need to buy cages, troughs, sinks and other tools, 50 yuan. (2) Buy a pair of pigeon 40 yuan. (3) 2 yuan for epidemic prevention and other expenses. (4) Water and electricity charges offset the income from selling manure.
Gross income in the first year: At present, the price of young pigeons for 25-28 days is 9 yuan/pigeon. According to this price, 5 litters are born *** 10, and the gross income is 90 yuan.
Net profit in the first year: the breeding period of breeding pigeons is generally 4-5 years. According to the four-year utilization period, the tool cost is calculated according to the depreciation of 10, and the net profit is 37 yuan (90 yuan-40 yuan×1/50 yuan×10-35.79 yuan).
Under normal circumstances, a person can keep 500 pairs of pigeons in captivity, with an average annual net profit of 20-35,000 yuan. Breeding pigeon has the advantages of low cost, short cycle, quick effect and high economic benefit.
Suggestions for breeding pigeons:
1, the development of pigeon industry depends on leading enterprises, and establish a stable contractual relationship with enterprises. The final mode of any mature aquaculture industry is "leading enterprise+base", "leading enterprise+farmer" or "leading enterprise+cooperative organization+farmer". For farmers, relying on leading enterprises and establishing a stable contractual relationship with enterprises can effectively reduce market risks and ensure no loss. Enterprises generally implement one-stop service. For new breeders, they can well relieve their worries about breeding technology, feed and sales, so that they can devote all their energy to breeding and increase economic benefits.
2. 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 lose everything. Therefore, once the project is selected, it is necessary to persevere and adjust the scale and variety appropriately according to the market conditions, which can ensure that the market will make a lot of money when it is good, and the market will not lose money when it is bad, and eventually become a big winner in the aquaculture industry.
