Can minks be kept at home? What are the prospects for breeding?

Mink is a kind of semi-aquatic animal, likes water, mostly moves near the water area, and is widely raised because of the high economic value of fur. In the past, it was wild, but now it is also artificially farmed. Can minks be raised at home?. What are the prospects for breeding?

First, the introduction of minks:

1. Where do minks usually live?

Wild minks generally live by rivers or streams, and the growth environment has certain limitations. It is more suitable for breeding in areas with high latitude, sufficient light and four distinct seasons, and is mainly distributed in the northeast and Qinghai-Tibet region of our country.

In general, artificial culture can feed some animal feed, plant feed and additive feed, among which animal feed is mainly livestock meat, fish, bird eggs and insects, and plant feed includes vegetables, grains and so on. additive feed generally refers to vitamins, bone meal and so on.

Can minks be kept at home?

Minks had better not be domesticated. Because minks are very aggressive, if they are kept as pets, they will be attacked and hurt if they are not careful. When breeding, use a large pool as far as possible, and it should be surrounded by a fence.

Third, what are the prospects for mink farming?

The main results are as follows: 1. the input cost of mink breeding is mainly in the construction of breeding farm, the construction of mink cage, the purchase of mink and manpower expenditure and so on.

2. According to the mink prices in recent years, it will cost about 60,000 yuan to raise 50 minks.

3. The average feeding cost of each mink is about 0.6 yuan per day, and the average small mink takes about 110 days from the beginning to the skin, and the feed cost is 66 yuan.

4. Other expenses such as the salaries of some personnel and disease prevention should be planned according to the farmers' own detailed budget.

It is understood that mink is the main raw leather material for making clothes, collars, hats, cuffs and ornaments, and it has a wider range of applications. But in 2019, if you want to make money by raising minks, you need to improve the quality of minks, improve the direction of fur processing, control costs and expand the market, so as to ensure greater benefits.

Generally speaking, minks had better not be kept at home so as not to be attacked. At the same time, according to the breeding experience and analysis of farmers in recent years, the prospect of mink breeding is still optimistic, and the specific ones are still waiting for their own combination of local investigation before making a decision.
