What are porcupine breeding techniques? What is the market outlook for 2019?

Porcupine is a new project in the breeding industry in recent years, its meat is delicious, the taste is unique, and artificial breeding is not difficult. So, what are the breeding techniques of porcupine? What is the market outlook for 2019?

1. Breeding techniques of porcupine

It is also known as Arrow Pig, the body is brown, weighs about 20 jin, and the body has thorns of different lengths, the longest thorns up to 34-35 cm. Porcupine is an animal that is easy to domesticate and easy to raise. Its aquaculture techniques mainly include three points:

1. Feeding mode

Semi-scattered way: the selection of thick soil, north-facing south, good drainage conditions and forest hilly sloping land construction is the most appropriate according to the ratio of male to female 1: 3 or 1: 4, and the site area is determined according to the number of feeding. Just put the pig breeds and feed into the farm, and they will make their own holes to live and feed.

Artificial captivity: there is a roof, and the breeding enclosure is divided into internal and external chambers. The inner nest is the place where they rest and reproduce, and is covered with a solid cement floor (the construction area of the inner and outer nest room on the ground is generally 3 meters long, 2 meters wide and 1 meter high; the outer nest room is mainly for them to play. a drinking pool needs to be built next to the door of the outer nest room.

2. Feed selection

They mainly eat the roots of plants, as well as fruits, seeds and so on. Porcupines that live deep in the mountains feed on wild plants. Porcupines, who live in the mountains near crops, not only feed on wild plants, but also steal common crops such as corn, sweet potatoes, soybeans and peanuts. If it is artificial breeding, in addition to daily feed, you can put some branches and roots and so on. The total amount of diet put in is based on a slight surplus after eating every night. A small amount of unfinished feed was cleared out the next day.

3. Nutrition

Generally use digestible raw materials, add substances that can improve digestibility, adjust the ratio of crude protein, energy and amino acids, strengthen the dose of health drugs and vitamins, reduce urgency and maintain health; reduce heat consumption and indigestible protein content in the formula.

4. Food quality

Choose fresh ingredients: the feed is easy to deteriorate in summer, and most of the deteriorated feed livestock refuse to eat. Ensuring the freshness of feed is beneficial to improve the feed intake of livestock and poultry.

Pay attention to changes in food intake: if it is found that their food intake is much lower than the usual amount, it needs to be caused and corrected in time. We can start with temperature, humidity, feed and nutritional factors.

Keep clean and hygienic: clean daily utensils such as feeding buckets every time you finish eating. Disinfect all the equipment every half a month.

Feed anti-mildew: in the wet season, the moisture content in the feed will also become higher, mold inhibitors should be added, such as propionic acid, calcium propionate and so on. Once it is found that the feed is moldy, it should be disposed of in time. If they are found to be accidentally infected with mycosis, they should be treated in time.

Second, the breeding prospect of porcupine in 2019

1. Market scale

According to statistics, at present, the total stock of porcupine in China is about 60, 000, the annual breeding volume is about 100000, and the annual market supply is less than 60, 000. If it is converted into fresh porcupine pork, the total weight is about 600000 kg. Assuming that each person eats only 200g, the current porcupine can only be eaten by 3 million people.

two。 Edible value

People who have eaten porcupine know that its meat is tender, tastes good, is high in protein and low in fat, and can be steamed, boiled, fried, stewed, boiled and roasted, which is very much in line with Chinese eating habits.

3. Consumption prospect

At present, the domestic consumer market of porcupine is mainly in Guangzhou, with an annual consumption of about 40, 000, accounting for 3/4 of the national consumer market. Porcupine markets in other cities are untapped.

To sum up, the current domestic market prospect of porcupine breeding is quite considerable. For friends who want to invest in the aquaculture industry, porcupine breeding is indeed a good project not to be missed.
