Chicken seedling cost: The price of a chicken seedling is about 1-3 yuan.
Feed cost: According to the information you provided, the feed price is 1.5 yuan/kg. A chicken needs to eat about 180 grams of feed every day, so it needs to eat about 5400 grams of feed a month, which is 5.4 kilograms. Therefore, the feed cost of a chicken for one month is 1.5 yuan * 5.4 kg = 8. 1 yuan.
Labor cost: The labor cost of raising a chicken includes feeding, egg picking and management. Assuming that a person can raise 100 chickens at the same time, then a person can earn 3,000 yuan a month (according to the monthly 30 yuan earned by each chicken). So the labor cost of a chicken for one month is 30 yuan.
Costs of utilities, vaccines and medicines: These costs are about one chicken per month 10 yuan.
Transportation and sales cost: The transportation and sales cost of each chicken may be different according to the transportation distance and mode, but according to the simplified model, we temporarily ignore this cost.
Based on the above expenses, the cost of a chicken in one month is about: the cost of chicks (1-3 yuan)+the cost of feed (8. 1 yuan)+the cost of labor (30 yuan)+the cost of water, electricity, vaccines and drugs (10 yuan) = 49.1yuan.
Because the prices of wheat, rice and feed you mentioned are retail prices, and chicken farmers usually buy these raw materials in bulk, the actual costs may be different. In addition, this model is simplified based on the information you provided, and the actual situation may be different due to various factors (such as market demand, price fluctuation, aquaculture management level, etc.). ).
To reduce costs and improve profits, you can consider the following methods:
Through scientific and reasonable breeding methods, the management level of aquaculture can be improved, feed consumption can be reduced and diseases can be reduced.
Optimize the purchasing strategy and reduce the purchasing cost of feed and other raw materials through bulk purchasing.
Develop the by-product market or increase the added value, such as selling chicken manure to organic fertilizer plants or as farm manure, or making eggs into specialty products.
Consider adopting ecological farming mode. If chickens are raised in gardens or woodlands, feed consumption will be reduced and the quality of chickens and eggs will be improved.
It should be noted that raising chickens is an industry where risks and opportunities coexist. If you want to make money, you need to comprehensively consider many factors such as market demand, price fluctuation, breeding technology and management level.
