Let’s take a look at the initial investment required to raise 10,000 ducks. The first question to consider is where to put these 10,000 ducks. After all, these 10,000 ducks are not a small number, and farmers need to prepare breeding grounds and build greenhouses. Ten thousand ducks need to rent at least about 5 acres of land, and the rent for one acre of land costs about 500 yuan. Then, according to the farmer's conditions, a greenhouse is built. The cost is not small, these greenhouses cost 70,000 to 80,000 yuan. However, the investment in this kind of greenhouse will only be more in the first year. If breeding is carried out later, there is no need to consider the cost of the greenhouse. The current market price of ducklings is around two yuan. Calculated at two yuan, 10,000 little ducks cost 20,000 yuan. However, there will be death during the reproduction process, which also needs to be considered. However, since the death time of ducks is not fixed, the death loss of larger ducks will be greater, while the natural loss of smaller ducks will be less. If calculated based on a mortality rate of about 10, that is to say, 1,000 ducks would lose about 5,000 yuan based on different breeding times and an average of 5 dead ducks.

Then there is the cost of feed for ducklings. Different farmers have different feeding methods, but everyone knows ducks eat a lot. The fattening time of ducks is generally about 40 days. Each duck needs to consume about 14-16 kilograms of feed during the fattening period, which means that one duck needs to consume about 15 yuan in feed costs, and 10,000 ducks cost 1.5 million yuan. Many people who start a business are raising native chickens. The initial idea is to make high-quality native chickens and find the taste of childhood, and Dongtang is no exception. Because of this, they committed a big taboo in raising native chickens and started a business based on the traditional way of raising chickens at home.

He didn’t understand the industry, so he made mistakes in product selection. He chose to raise silky chickens, guinea fowls, royal chickens and other chickens that he thought were rare in rural areas. However, the market situation was too narrow, which also laid the foundation for his subsequent sales difficulties. Although native chickens are free-range, they need to be domesticated. Farmers need to tame the chickens where the eggs are laid and return to the coop regularly. And the chicken manure in the chicken coop does not need to be cleaned every day. After taking certain measures, it is enough to clean up a batch of chickens once after they are released. It is obvious that Dongtang has no knowledge of ecological agriculture. His chance is to lay eggs in any corner. He hires an employee every month to find eggs and clean the chicken coop. Clearly, money was wasted. Having systematically mastered scientific ecological management techniques, it is actually very convenient to raise native chickens. His father is left to take care of the site, and Dongtang has plenty of time to deliver express delivery and run to the market.

In terms of breeding methods, Dongtang blindly pursues original ecological breeding. Reports mention that insects and grasses on the hills offset some of the grain. This sentence can make him feel that he should not know how many times a day to feed, how much to feed, and how to feed. He needs to know that Cordyceps can only be regarded as an "after-dinner snack" and must be supplemented with a reasonable and sufficient diet every day, otherwise the native chicken will not grow well. The same is true. Because of the high cost of breeding, it is difficult for the market to accept its price.
