Breeding method and selling price of hedgehog

Hedgehog is a treasure, and wild hedgehog has been listed as a second-class protected animal, but the medicinal value of hedgehog determines its market demand, so now many people want to go to artificial breeding, artificial breeding must master its method, otherwise it will bring certain breeding risks. Let's take a look at hedgehog together.

Hedgehog breeding method

I. Production technology scheme

Hedgehog breeding is mainly carried out in captivity. Because hedgehog is cheap, adaptability is strong, good raise, breed technology is not complex, the experience that domestic can draw lessons from is very much. The basic production process is: building houses → building holes → disinfection → introduction → insect repellent → complete feed → disease prevention → selling. Hedgehog disease less, no infectious diseases, as long as the feeding management and health measures properly, hedgehog is rarely sick, the main diseases are enteritis, ringworm, parasites, etc., very good treatment, there will be no big risk. Feed formula is easy to master.

II. Production Scale

It is designed that there will be 10000 commercial hedgehogs per year. About 2000 hedgehogs need to be introduced and cultivated, half male and half female. Because hedgehogs are in estrus 1-2 times a year, about 5 hedgehogs per litter, 8 hedgehogs in excess. As long as food supply is sufficient and management is proper, they can reproduce twice a year, and the production scale can reach 10000 hedgehogs. Hedgehogs mature sexually at 2-3 years of age, sleep in March and mate in April. The gestation period is about 60 days. The survival rate of pups was almost 100%.

III. Conditions for site construction

Old houses can be transformed into hedgehog farms, or barren hills and wasteland with flat terrain, dry air, quiet environment, convenient transportation and complete water and electricity can be selected to build farms. Generally, each pair of hedgehogs needs 1.5 square meters of breeding house, which is divided into two parts: clear and dark. The length, width and height are 1.6 meters, 0.6 meters and 0.65 meters respectively. Commodity hedgehog 30/10 square meters. Because the breeding house is simple, the density is relatively large, the requirements are not high, and the site is not wide, so the infrastructure investment is not large.

IV. Raw material resources

Hedgehog is omnivorous animal, captive hedgehog to compound feed mainly, meat offal, grain and by-products, vegetables and so on according to the proportion to meet normal needs, feed raw materials everywhere, and low price. The basic ratio is 5:4:1.

V. Origin of varieties

Because there is no professional breeding farm for hedgehogs in China at present, there is no seed to introduce, and the seed source can only come from wild capture and acquisition. Acquisition can begin after March.

VI. Product Sales

Hedgehog sales can be in various forms: one is entrusted sales, can be in Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Beijing, Shanghai and other places to find agents on commission; the second is to open up their own market direct sales, can set up hedgehog hot pot city, can be linked to the hotel sales, but also directly to find customers for export; the third is to sell seeds, according to the "people do not have me" market rules, in the first few years to sell hedgehog seeds, training students, will have a lot of income; the fourth is deep processing value-added. Processing into traditional Chinese medicine, convenience food, tourism food, health care products, etc., can become an independent industry, to achieve multi-level development value-added.

Hedgehog selling price

Hedgehog prices are generally dozens to several hundred yuan a, the price varies from place to place. Hedgehog is a wild animal protected by Beijing City. Heilongjiang hedgehog is one of 136 species of second-class protected animals and is protected by law. Meanwhile, this species has been listed in the List of Six Wild Animals Protected by the State or of Important Economic and Scientific Research Value issued by the State Forestry Administration on August 1,2000. Illegal killing and trafficking of wild animals protected by the state will be punished by law.

Processing and Storage of Hedgehog

Hedgehog skin can be processed in all seasons. It is generally believed that winter processing is appropriate. The hedgehog processed should be bled first and peeled with a knife. Open the head and two hind feet at three points, tighten the nail on the board, scrape off the fat, place it in a ventilated and dry place, let it dry naturally, must not be exposed to the sun, so as to avoid oil. After drying, put into lime tank storage.

Hedgehog farming costs and profits

1. Cost: hedgehog cub (self-breeding and self-raising) 22 yuan/cub, compound feed calculated according to 3.5:1 feed meat ratio, feed cost of 1 kg body weight 6.3 yuan, epidemic prevention fee 0.2 yuan/cub, salary and welfare 3 yuan/cub, depreciation 1 yuan/cub, management fee 0.5 yuan/cub, other expenses 2 yuan/cub. The cost of feeding hedgehogs to 1 kg is 35 yuan, 10,000 yuan is 350,000 yuan.

2. Income: calculated by 100 yuan/kg, 10000 pieces, i.e. 1 million yuan.

3. Profit: 1 million-350,000 = 650,000 yuan.

hedgehog disease control

Common hedgehog diseases are gastroenteritis, ascariasis and ringworm.

Hedgehog suffering from gastroenteritis, dull thorns, weak walking, diarrhea, food refusal. Feed can be reduced, feed oxytetracycline, each time 1 piece crushed into feed, feed 3 times a day. Gentamicin can also be injected, each hip intramuscular injection 25,000 units.

Suffering from ascarid disease hedgehog, loss of appetite, drowsiness and weakness, can be fed ascarid net, feed 2 times a day, 1 tablet each time, even feed 2 days. For hedgehogs that do not suffer from ascarid disease, they should also be dewormed twice a year to ensure the healthy growth of hedgehogs and improve their fertility. Check hedgehog is healthy, a look at the luster of thorns, two to see whether the body plump, three to see the tightness of thorns.

The hedgehog that suffers from tinea, take off white scurf skin, can rub tinea ointment outside, skin light cream. It can also be used to soak cut tobacco in vinegar for 24 hours and then add trichlorfon to grind and mix into the affected part.

Hedgehog can be said to be relatively good breeding, hedgehog adaptability is relatively strong, as long as the breeding management is good, breeding good hedgehog is not a problem. However, hedgehog disease prevention and control should be paid attention to, found that there are symptoms of illness should immediately take effective measures to prevent serious and large-scale infection. In short, farming has risks, and technology is the basic condition for reducing risks.
