What is the cost, profit and prospect of raising pigeons for one year now?
Potential customers:
There are many kinds of pigeons, which can be roughly divided into three types: meat pigeons, carrier pigeons and observation pigeons, among which meat pigeons are the main breeding varieties. So now the edible pigeons on the market are also meat pigeons. Pigeons have high nutritional value, especially young pigeons are rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements, of which protein content is as high as 24.5%, while fat content is only 0.73%. Therefore, pigeon meat, as a kind of meat with low fat and high protein, is favored by more and more consumers.
With the economic development of China and the continuous improvement of people's living standards in China, the market demand for meat pigeons in China is also increasing year by year, which has led to a steady increase in the number of meat pigeons raised all over the country and a rapid development of the meat pigeon industry in China. From 2000 to 20 10, the market consumption of young pigeons increased from 50 million in 10 to 600 million. At present, the average annual consumption of urban squab in China is more than 6,543,800+0,000.
Cost profit:
Taking carrier pigeon breeding as an example, the daily basic grain weight of a pair of carrier pigeons is between 1 1g- 14g, but in the one-year breeding period, about 90kg of feed is needed, and the feed is calculated as per kg 1.2 yuan. In addition, they need to take protection and health care measures. Every year, health care sand is calculated according to 4 yuan, health care products and vaccines are calculated according to 3 yuan, and labor, water, electricity and office expenses are calculated according to 17 yuan, so the cost of each pair of meat pigeons is 134 yuan.
The meat pigeon is calculated according to the output of 20 young pigeons per year. The sales price of each young pigeon is 12 yuan, and the sales income is in 240 yuan. After deducting the total cost price 134 yuan, the annual net profit of each group of meat pigeons is 106 yuan. According to the standard of breeding 500 meat pigeons, the annual net profit is about 26,500 yuan.
How do pigeons divide male and female?
1, look at the navel. Look at the distance from navel to tail of squab 1 ~ 2 days old. The distance is male; The closest thing is women.
2, look at fetal hair. 3 ~ 5 days after hatching, look at the fetal hair on the top of its head and neck. Yellow (light color, such as egg yolk) is male, and yellow (dark color, such as egg yolk) is female. The author has observed this method for more than ten years, and the accuracy rate is over 70%.
3. Look at the anus. Pigeons hatch for 4-8 days, and the anus is seen from the side, with the upper edge covered with the lower edge, the ends of the anus slightly upturned, and the anus slightly hexagonal, male; The lower edge covers the upper edge, both ends of the anal orifice are slightly bent downward, and the anal orifice is slightly five-star shaped for women. The author has not observed much about this method.
4, look at the tail fat gland. Pigeons hatch for 5-8 days. The tip of the caudate gland divides into males; The top of the caudate gland is female without division.
5, look at the real hair. From10 to14 days after the young pigeon hatches, the true hair on the head and cheeks of the young pigeon is male; The young pigeon is a female pigeon with real hair on her head.
6, look at chest hair. After hatching for 25 ~ 30 days, the true hair on the breast and neck of the young pigeon has a slight metallic luster, and the male pigeon has no rim; The true hair on the chest and neck of young pigeons has no metallic luster, and there are female pigeons with steel rings.
7. Look at the sidebar. After 25-30 days of incubation, the main feather of the male pigeon is 7- 10. The main feather of the young pigeon is 7 ~ 10, and the round end of the lateral strip is the mother pigeon.
8. Look at your toes. After the full moon, the second and fourth toes of young pigeons are not as long as those of male pigeons. The second and fourth toes are as long as the mother pigeon.
9. Look at your mouth. After the full moon, hold the pigeon's mouth with your hand, or it will be a male pigeon if you don't let go; This is a female pigeon. This method has high accuracy.
Attachment: pigeon breeding technology
1. Pigeons are mainly fed with miscellaneous grains, such as wheat, buckwheat, sorghum, corn, peas, mung beans, pockmarked seeds and peanuts. At least two kinds of feed should be mixed when feeding, such as wheat, corn, sorghum ***3, pea 1, and wheat, corn, sorghum ***3, pea 1 and pockmarked 1 during training.
In addition to miscellaneous grains, it can also supply green feed and mineral feed such as vegetables, Chinese cabbage and wheat seedlings. Mineral feed can be bought from carrier pigeon associations all over the country. It can also be matched by itself, which generally meets the needs of homing pigeons. The mineral feed is made of, for example, 3 parts of yellow mud and yellow sand, 2 parts of hydrated lime, 65,438+0 parts of salt, 0.5 part of shell powder or eggshell powder and 0.5 part of charcoal. After crushing, they are mixed with water, kneaded into balls and dried. When feeding, break the ball and put it in the pigeon house.
2. Feed twice a day, once at around 7: 00 in the morning and at around 4: 30 in the afternoon 1 time, with the feeding amount in the morning accounting for 1/3 of the food intake and the feeding amount in the afternoon accounting for 2/3 of the food intake. The daily feeding amount of each adult pigeon is about 50g, which can be increased appropriately during training. Pigeons can be called back to their homes and fed after being grounded, so that they can form a conditioned reflex to return to their homes for dinner, which is conducive to homing.
3. During pigeon training and competition, we should feed more corn and peas, water first, then feed them. You can feed glucose water first, then light salt water. In summer and during the incubation period of young pigeons, appropriate amount of salt can be added to drinking water.
Pigeons love clean birds, so we must pay great attention to the cleanliness of pigeon houses. We should take a bath at least twice a week in summer and autumn and once a week in winter.
