It takes about a year to raise crocodiles.
The prospect of raising crocodiles has always been in people's eyes? Bad fish? You dare not eat him again. But in recent years, crocodiles have gradually come to the table and won people's love. Besides, crocodile skin is very valuable. With the in-depth exploration and research on crocodiles, various economic values of crocodiles have been developed, the demand for crocodiles has greatly increased, and the demand for breeding crocodiles has become more and more urgent, which has attracted the attention of breeding investors and joined them in succession.
Crocodiles are one of the earliest and most primitive animals discovered so far. It is a vertebrate reptile carnivore with a fierce temperament. Crocodile is a wild animal with high ecological, scientific and economic values. Crocodiles are rich in ornamental value. Crocodiles also have many medicinal and health-care effects. Their skins are processed into high-grade leather shoes, belts and refined skins. And teeth can be used as ornaments for collection. Therefore, some countries in the world actively develop crocodile farming. With the improvement of people's living standards, there is a growing demand for crocodile products in China, and people will pay more and more attention to the development of crocodile farming, processing industry and tourism. In recent years, more and more crocodiles have been imported from China, and some hotels and restaurants have put crocodile meat on the table as seafood products. According to relevant data, the annual demand for crocodile skins is more than 400,000 pieces, and the demand is still rising in recent years. The main consumer markets of crocodiles are some economically developed countries and regions, which have gradually and steadily developed all over the country, with broad market prospects.
Crocodile farming profits grow in tropical or subtropical climate in China, and other farming management techniques are not high and easy to operate. According to Baru Venture Network, the investment plan for cultivating 2 mu crocodile pond is as follows:
1. Crocodiles need to be kept in ponds, and the largest pond is about 0.5 hectares. The pool water is deep, generally reaching1~1.5m. Because the pool water is too deep to change water every day, in order to keep the pool water clean and hygienic, an arbitrary pool was built on one side of the pool water as a feeding place to prevent crocodiles from eating the remaining food and polluting the whole pool water. The feeding pond is small and can be drained and cleaned frequently. The planned investment cost of a 2 mu crocodile farm is about 50,000 yuan.
2, seedling costs: artificial breeding of crocodiles, increase stocking density, round fishing and round release, basically in accordance with 5? Plant 7 plants per square meter, and control the density per mu within 1000 plants in adulthood. Therefore, 2 mu of * * * requires about 2,500 seedlings, and seedlings should be supplemented appropriately according to the capture situation during the breeding process. * * * The cost of crocodile seedlings is about 75,000 yuan.
3. Feeding expenses: Crocodiles are carnivores, and they are basically fed once every two days in summer, and they are very economical in winter, and they are only fed once every half month. The feeding cost of a crocodile in the first year is around 400 yuan, and the cost of 2,500 pieces of feed is about 654.38+10,000 yuan.
It costs about 225,000 yuan to breed 2 acres of crocodiles.
Crocodile profit income:
A crocodile that has been fed for two months costs about 500 Jin, and we sell it at 1000 yuan each. When our seedlings grow to about15kg, we will sell them to 1500 yuan. It can be sold from 60 kg to 70 kg in one and a half years, and improved varieties can be raised to 40 kg and 80 kg. Sell to the hotel 100 yuan a catty. According to the calculation that each crocodile can gain 40 kilograms in two years, the net profit of each crocodile is 1.3 million yuan, and the average annual economic income can be 1.6 million yuan. The profit is several times the investment cost, which is very considerable, and the crocodile breeding prospect is very promising.
