How much does it cost to raise a square meter? How much money can you make?

It can raise about 1000 adults per square meter. Locust breeding is suitable for any family, women and children, and the scale can be large or small. It can start production with an area of 50 square meters and feed once a day. To build a shed, we just need to buy a better screen screen, choose a place, first build a shed of about 50 square meters, and organize people to go to the mountain to catch about 50X1000 locusts in the picture. The upfront investment is about 500 yuan (except labor time, labor cost).

Profit analysis:

Buy 20, 000 eggs, the reproduction rate is 85%, that is, 17000, of which female locusts account for 50%, that is, about 8000, each female locust lays 40-80 eggs, can lay 30-600000 eggs, reproduce 28-500000 young locusts, minus 20% of the casualty rate. 22-440000 adult locusts can be bred, each weighing about one kilogram, with a yield of 440,880kg. The current market price is 20 yuan, and the output value can reach 8800-17600 yuan. This income only needs to invest 2000 yuan in egg breeding and greenhouse investment (note: these two investments are one-time investment, there is no need to invest again in the future), as there is no need to continue to invest in the second year, the profit will be more considerable.

It only takes 35 days to raise locusts to become adults, and it can be sold after about 50 days. A 200m2 net shed can raise 200000 locusts (about 400kg). The economic benefit is considerable, the cost is low, the feed is mainly forage grass, and the feeding range of East Asian migratory locusts is very wide, just like feeding sheep, it likes to eat: Reed, thatch, pennisetum, clematis, etc. Gramineae: corn, wheat, sorghum, millet, etc., planting 1 mu of forage grass can solve all feed sources, short cycle, high efficiency, and only need to buy seeds once, benefit for life, self-breeding tens of times, eggs hatching locusts, locusts lay eggs, cycle and cycle, forming a virtuous circle.

How to catch locusts?

Locusts like to eat tender grass. You can catch locusts in places where the grass is more exuberant in the wild, but there is no feasible way to trap them.
