The net profit of each breeding pair of pigeons can be up to about $122 per year. Taking the breeding of 1000 pairs of meat pigeons as an example, let's briefly analyze the cost and profit:
Basic diet for 1 day for each pair of breeder pigeons is 0.12-0.14 pounds, and about 50 pounds of feeding materials are needed for 1 year. To produce 1 qualified suckling pigeon, about 2.1 pounds of feeding materials are needed. If 1 pair of breeder pigeons produces 20 suckling pigeons in 1 year, **** about 42 pounds of feed is needed.
Each pound of feed material is calculated according to the average price of 1.5 yuan for the whole year, then 1 pair of breeding pigeons 1 year feed costs about 138 yuan. Health care sand, vaccines, health care drugs at 10 yuan, labor, water and electricity depreciation costs, etc. at 50 yuan, *** counted 60 yuan.
The price of pigeons fluctuates slightly throughout the year, with an average of 16 yuan per pigeon throughout the year, and sales revenue *** counting 320 yuan, removing the cost of 198, each pair of pigeons can reach a net profit of about 122 yuan per year.

Pigeons are a very timid birds, so the farm will generally be selected in a quieter but more convenient transportation and water conservancy. Pigeon breeding is generally a three-dimensional breeding method.
The main way is to use the cage, but also to have a certain amount of space to exercise, but also can be used to breed a simple shed, so that the cost of building a farm will be greatly reduced. The area around the farm needs to be fenced off to avoid the pigeons flying away on their own.
2, the selection of breeding
