Analysis on the cost and profit of crocodile farming how much does it cost to raise crocodile

The crocodile is a cold-blooded egg-laying animal, no matter how the external environment changes, the change of the crocodile is very small. Is a very precious animal. Therefore, it is necessary to breed the varieties that the state allows to operate and use. And crocodile farming has many advantages. So now more and more farmers in the aquaculture industry are starting to raise crocodiles, and they also see good commercial prospects for crocodiles.

Analysis on the cost and profit of crocodile breeding

1. Crocodiles consume mainly meat (including scraps, chicken bones, etc.) and fish, with an average annual feed amount of 72.6 kg, equivalent to no more than 500 yuan. In addition, raising alligators can make maximum use of breeding places and equipment, the area of breeding fence is not very large, and the breeding density is quite large. Young alligators can be raised 17 per square meter within one year, and 1 adult alligator per square meter of 2 ~ 5 years old. However, the density of adult alligators that have been bred for more than 10 years is slightly lower, and the breeding area of each alligator is 10 square meters.

2. Crocodiles have a strong ability to reproduce. Female crocodiles over the age of 10 lay an average of 40 to 70 eggs per year. According to practical experience, they can reproduce about 40 young crocodiles. Female crocodiles can lay eggs for decades or even hundreds of years. According to the current introduction of each crocodile needs at least 20,000 yuan, the price of adult alligator in China is 30,000 ~ 60,000 yuan. If as an alligator product, after 3-5 years of breeding, its price is at least 15000 yuan, excluding the cost, it can still achieve considerable economic benefits.

How much does it cost to raise crocodiles?

1. If the breeding population of more than 20 female alligators is calculated on the basis of an average of 40 young alligators per year, the population can reproduce nearly 800 young alligators per year. According to the current introduction of each crocodile needs at least 20,000 yuan, the price of adult alligator in China is 30,000 ~ 60,000 yuan. If as an alligator product, after 3-5 years of breeding, its price is at least 15000 yuan, excluding the cost, it can still achieve considerable economic benefits.

2. Female alligators over 10 years old lay an average of 40-70 eggs per year. According to practical experience, about 40 young alligators can be bred, and the female alligator can lay eggs for decades or even hundreds of years.

3. Alligator cubs only need 3 to 5 years of breeding, can be converted into product processing and utilization. Because of this age slaughter, the feed cost is the lowest and the economic benefit is the greatest.

What kind of animal is a crocodile

1. Crocodiles are not fish, but cold-blooded egg-laying reptiles of the family Alligatoridae, Crocodilidae and Alligatoridae. Its name is derived from playing in the water like a fish. It is one of the earliest and most primitive animals to be found alive so far. It appeared in the Mesozoic era from Triassic to Cretaceous (about 200 million years ago), at the same time as dinosaurs. Crocodiles are wild animals with high ecological value, scientific value and economic value, so some countries in the world actively develop crocodile breeding industry.

2. According to archaeological findings, the largest crocodile is 15 meters long and weighs nearly 1.5 tons, but the existing large crocodiles have an average body length of more than 3 meters and weigh more than 100 kilograms, with strong jaws, many conical teeth, short legs, claws, webbed toes, long and thick tails, and thick skin with scaly nails. People think of crocodiles as "evil fish". At the mention of crocodiles, they immediately think of big mouths, dense sharp teeth, hard armor, and an air of being ready to eat people.

Common diseases of crocodiles

1. Bacterial diseases: caused by Aeromonas, Salmonella, Mycobacterium and other Gram-negative bacteria; viral diseases: such as vaccinia virus disease, herpes virus disease and infectious hepatitis.

2. Mycosis: because crocodiles often live in an environment with water, when the disinfection of aquaculture water or other places is not strict, there are often a variety of bacteria or fungi in the water, resulting in crocodile infection. This disease is often caused by water mold, cotton mold and Pythium parasitic on crocodiles.

In China, people are allowed to operate three kinds of crocodiles: Siamese crocodile, bay crocodile and Nile crocodile. The pet crocodile is generally about 260,300 yuan in the market, but it varies greatly according to the size of the crocodile and the price of the city, which can be sold for about 500,000 yuan in some cities.
