Construction of porcupine farm

Porcupine breeding and domestic pig breeding is different, porcupine more wild than domestic pigs, wild porcupine is a national protected animal, is not wanton killing. However, porcupines are indeed very good game, and the nutritional value is also very good, which makes many people fancy the market for breeding porcupines.

Porcupine farm construction

1. Porcupine breeding pool layout

Porcupine breeding pond adopts side-by-side back-to-back layout, and there is a pedestrian passage between two rows of breeding ponds. The width of the passage is 1.0 - 1.2 meters. There is a drain on the ground beside each row of breeding pond. The specification of the drain is: width x height =20 cm x 20 cm.

2. Area of porcupine breeding pond

Each lactating female porcupine occupies no less than 1.2 square meters of breeding pool area, and each adult porcupine occupies no less than 0.4 square meters of breeding area. The feeding area occupied by each breeding porcupine is not less than 0.3 square meters, and the feeding area occupied by each young porcupine is not less than 0.2 square meters.

3. Structure of porcupine breeding pond

The breeding pond is made of red brick or cement brick, the inner wall is plastered with cement mortar, the ground is of cement structure, and the inclination of 3-5 degrees should be maintained to facilitate drainage. A water outlet hole is reserved on one side near the drainage ditch, and the diameter of the water outlet is ≈5 cm. Strong and durable drinking facilities are installed in the breeding pool, and the installation position is appropriate and the height is reasonable. Easy maintenance.

4. Types and specifications of porcupine breeding ponds

According to the requirements of different growth and development stages of porcupines, the following types of breeding ponds should be built

① The large pool is a rectangular concrete pool with specifications of 2 m long * 1.2 m wide * 0.8 m high. The large pond is mainly used for breeding porcupines.

② The specifications of the small pool are 1.2 meters long * 1 meter wide * 0.8 meters high. The small pond is mainly used for raising porcupines in the breeding stage

The domestication pool consists of an inner room and a sports field. Between the inner room and the sports field, there is a small hole with a diameter of 30 cm for porcupines to enter and exit freely. The inner chamber is 1 m long, 0.6 m high and 0.8 m wide. The upper part of the inner chamber is covered with cardboard or wood board or asbestos tile to simulate the dark environment of porcupine cave. The specifications of the sports field are: 1 meter wide, 0.6 meter high and 0.8 meter high. The sports field is mainly used for feeding porcupines, and the top is not covered.

Construction method of porcupine farm

1, pigsty: ideal pigsty is an important basic condition for pig production, pigsty construction reasonable or not directly affects the health of porcupines, productivity and the level of labor efficiency of farmers, so pigsty construction work is very important. Porcupine breeding we take the election seat north to south, drainage conditions are better, thick soil layer, there are trees on the hilly slope field.

2, the ground: porcupine pigsty ground should have solid, durable, moisture-proof, anti-skid, so most of the enclosure ground using concrete floor. It is characterized by durability and easy cleaning and disinfection. But it is not conducive to the insulation of female porcupines and young porcupines. In winter, wooden boards or straw can be placed on the ground.

Roof: The roof plays a role in shielding wind and rain and insulation, and should have waterproof, thermal insulation, load-bearing and other characteristics. Most porcupine farms use asbestos tile or small green tile double slope roof.

Drinking water equipment: Modern porcupine farms use automatic drinking water, which can supply pigs with drinking water at any time and ensure the cleanliness of drinking water. Automatic drinking water can be divided into duckbill type, nipple type, sucking type and cup type. At present, duckbill type automatic drinking water is mostly used.

5, aisles and passages: single-row or double-row pigsty set up an aisle, four-row pigsty set up two aisles. The aisle should not be too wide or too narrow. The aisle for porcupines is 1.2 meters wide, and one meter for commercial porcupines is enough.

6. Fecal ditch: The fecal ditch in the porcupine pen should be covered with leaky floor or steel bar, at least 20 cm wide, and the ditch should not be too wide, 2-3 cm can be used.

Pool: pool length (150-200) cm, width (120-180) cm, height (80-100) cm.

Porcupine farming profits

Porcupine breeding is a rural breeding project with small investment, quick effect, low cost and high benefit. A female porcupine produces two fetuses per year, 2-4 piglets per fetus. Feeding a year out of the weight of up to 15 kg, according to the market price of 60 yuan per kilogram calculation, each head income of 900 yuan.

A household raises 10 pairs of porcupines, which can produce 40 piglets in a year, each of which is 15 kg, totaling 600 kg. The sales price per kg is 60 yuan, totaling 36,000 yuan. Excluding feed cost 6000 yuan, net profit can be obtained of about 30,000 yuan. Large professional households raise 100 pairs of porcupines, excluding feed costs and staff salaries, with an annual net profit of more than 200,000 yuan.

Price Analysis of Porcupine Breeding Market

According to the current market, porcupine occupies a large market in China. Porcupine is a very precious terrestrial herbal food animal. It integrates meat, medicinal and ornamental values. In addition, it has high technological value. Therefore, porcupine is favored by consumers. People's various demands for porcupine are increasing day by day. The supply of porcupine is far from meeting the demand for consumption growth.

Since the beginning of human history, there has been the habit of eating pork. Now, with the improvement of people's living standard and the rapid development of tourism, the structure of meat is also changing. People pay great attention to the rationality of food nutrition.

Hotels and restaurants in southeast coastal cities of our country are especially fond of pork.

Demand is increasing rapidly, Guangzhou, Hong Kong, Macao and other regions as nutrition, health care treasures, expensive, extremely popular market. Wild resources are increasingly depleted and facing extinction. The government has listed porcupines as protected animals and banned hunting.

Therefore, domestication, breeding, development and utilization of this kind of porcupine with special value, special nutrition, special flavor, special use and whole body treasure have special significance and special breeding industry with the most development and utilization value, which has a very broad market prospect.

Although porcupine breeding is a very good prospect, but before breeding, first of all to build a good farm, of course, farms do not need special luxury, to be simple and convenient for the principle, in saving costs at the same time convenient daily feeding.
