2, the feeding equipment is simple, which can be simplified because of roughness and use local materials. It only takes tens of yuan to buy part of the investment.
3. Wide sources of feed. Locusts like to eat reed, thatch, Pennisetum, Leymus chinensis, Pennisetum, corn, wheat, sorghum, millet and so on. And they can raise 1 10,000 to 50,000 without investment, and each person can complete the whole process of feeding management in two hours a day.
If you need to grow your own feed, 10 thousand locusts can grow it with a part of stubble, and its investment is very small.
5. Locusts have strong vitality and never get sick. Breeding locusts under natural conditions can produce two generations in summer and autumn in the north, and can be raised all the year round in the south, with short cycle, quick effect and high reproduction rate. Each locust lays 60 to 120 eggs at a time.
6. Feeding 1 10,000 adults of Locusta migratoria manilensis can reach 36-40 kg. According to the current lowest market price 10 yuan/kg, the calculation formula of summer locust is:10× 36kg×10 yuan =360 yuan. For example, if 4000 female locusts are allowed to lay eggs, each female locust will lay at least 60 eggs, with a survival rate of 90%. By the second half of the year, the number of autumn locusts will be 4000×60×90. The gross income in the first year of aquaculture is 7776+360=8 136 yuan, and only 1000 yuan and some simple materials are needed. In the following years, according to the number of locusts laying eggs, the income will increase exponentially. (1, this is calculated on a quarterly basis. If we harvest more than two seasons a year according to our technology, the economic benefits will be more considerable; 2. If the initial investment is more than 1000 yuan, which will develop faster and the benefits will definitely increase exponentially)
Second, the cost and profit of locust breeding.
1.300 yuan to build a shed. The breeding cost is 2000 yuan, and about 1000 adults can be raised per square meter. Locust farming is suitable for any family farming, suitable for women and children, and the scale can be large or small. Production can be started in 50 square meters, and it can be fed once a day. To build a shed, you just need to buy a better screen. Choose a place, first set up a shed of about 50 square meters, and organize people to go to the mountain to catch about 50X 1000 locusts in the picture. The initial investment is about 500 yuan (excluding labor time and labor cost).
2. Benefit analysis: If you buy 20,000 breeding eggs, the reproduction rate is 85%, that is, 17000, of which 50% are female locusts, that is, about 8,000 eggs. Each female locust lays 400-80 eggs, which can lay 300,000-600,000 eggs and breed 280,000-500,000 young locusts. The casualty rate can be reduced by 20%. At present, the market price is 20 yuan/kg, and the output value can reach 8,800-17,600 yuan, and this income only needs to be invested in seed money and greenhouse investment of 2,000 yuan (note: these two investments are one-time investments, and there is no need to reinvest in the future), because there is no need to continue investing next year, so the profit will be more considerable.
3. It only takes 35 days to breed locusts and 50 days to fatten them. Building a 200-square-meter net shed can raise 200,000 locusts (about 400kg), with considerable economic benefits and low cost. The feed is mainly grass. Locusta migratoria manilensis has a wide appetite, just like feeding sheep, and likes to eat: reeds, thatch, Pennisetum and thread. Gramineae: corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, etc. Planting forage grass 1 mu can solve all feed sources, with short cycle and high benefit, and it only needs to buy seeds once, benefiting for life, self-propagating and autotrophic, and eggs hatch locusts and locusts lay eggs, forming a virtuous circle.
Through the above analysis of the cost and profit of locust breeding, we now know whether it is profitable to raise locusts. Locusts are nutritious, tender and delicious like shrimp. They have the reputation of "flying shrimp" in Hong Kong and other places, and have high economic value and medicinal value. Attention should be paid to daily feeding management techniques.
