Pigeons are birds of the genus Pigeon family, which are widely raised all over the world. The pigeons we usually talk about are only one kind of pigeons, and they are domestic pigeons. The most common domestic pigeons are carrier pigeons. So what are the costs, profits and prospects of raising pigeons for a year now? How much is the seedling price? How to divide the male from the female? What are the breeding methods? It is learned from Shandong pigeon farm that the prices of different kinds of pigeons are different, ranging from ten to dozens of yuan, which should be based on the local market price.

What are the costs, profits and prospects of raising pigeons for a year now?

Prospects:

There are many kinds of pigeons, probably divided into meat pigeons, carrier pigeons and observation pigeons, of which meat pigeons are the main breeding species. Therefore, the edible pigeons sold on the market are also meat pigeons. Meat pigeons have high nutritional value, especially squab meat is rich in protein, vitamins and trace elements, of which the protein content is as high as 24.5%, while the fat content is only 0.73%. Therefore, pigeon meat is favored by more and more consumers as a kind of low-fat and high-protein meat.

With the development of China's economy and the continuous improvement of Chinese living standards, the market demand of meat pigeons in China is also increasing year by year, which leads to a steady increase in the number of meat pigeons in all parts of the country, and makes the meat pigeon industry in China develop rapidly. From 2000 to 2010, the market consumption of squab increased from 50 million to 600 million in 10 years. At present, the average annual consumption of squab in various cities in China is more than 1 million.

Cost and profit:

In the case of meat pigeon breeding, the basic grain weight of a pair of meat pigeons is between 11 grams and 14 grams per day, while the breeding period of one year requires about 90 jin of feed, which is calculated according to 1.2 yuan per jin. And they need to do protective health care measures, the annual health care sand is calculated according to 4 yuan, health products and vaccines are calculated according to 3 yuan, labor, water and electricity, office expenses are calculated according to 17 yuan, then the cost price of each pair of meat pigeons is 134 yuan.

According to the annual output of 20 squab pigeons, the selling price of each squab is 12 yuan, the sales income is 240 yuan, minus the total cost price of 134 yuan, and the annual net profit of each team of meat pigeons is 106 yuan. According to the standard of raising 500 meat pigeons, the annual net profit is about 26500 yuan.

How do pigeons divide male and female?

1. Look at the belly button. When the young pigeon comes out of its shell for 1 or 2 days, look at the distance between its navel and its tail. Those who are far away are males; those who are close are females.

2. Look at the fetal hair. Three or five days after the pigeon came out of its shell, the fetal hair on the top of its head and neck showed that the color was light yellow (light, like egg yolk) for male and withered yellow (dark, like native egg yolk) for female. The author has observed this method for more than ten years, and the accuracy rate is more than 70%.

3. Look at the anus. The young pigeon came out of the shell for 4 days and 8 days, looked at the anus from the side, the upper edge was covered with the lower edge, the two ends of the anal entrance were slightly warped upward, and the opening of the anus was slightly hexagonal for male; the lower edge was covered with the upper edge, the two ends of the anal gate bent slightly downward, and the opening of the anus was slightly five-star-shaped for female. The author does not observe much about this method.

4. Look at the tail fat gland. The young pigeon came out of its shell for 5 to 8 days. The tip of the tail fat gland forks for male, and the tip of tail fat gland does not fork for female.

5. Look at the real hair. When the squab comes out of its shell for 10-14 days, the real hair on the cheek of the squab head is male, and the real hair on the head of the squab is the female pigeon.

6. Look at chest hair. After 25 days and 30 days out of the shell, the real hair on the chest and neck of the squab is slightly metallic luster, and the rimless edge is the male pigeon; the true hair on the breast and neck of the squab is not metallic luster, and the round edge is the female pigeon.

7. Look at the sidebar. When the squab came out of its shell for 25 to 30 days, the male pigeon was the sharper end of the squab main feather and the female was the rounder end of the squab main feather.

8. Look at the toes. After the full moon, the second and fourth toes are male pigeons, and the second and fourth toes are female pigeons.

Watch your mouth move. After the full moon, the young pigeon holds the pigeon's mouth with his hand, and when it is released, it is the male pigeon and the female pigeon. The accuracy of this method is high.

1. Pigeons are mainly fed with miscellaneous grains, such as wheat, buckwheat, sorghum, corn, peas, mung beans, pockmarked seeds and peanuts. At least two kinds of feed should be mixed when feeding, such as 3 parts of wheat, corn and sorghum, 1 part of pea, 3 parts of wheat, corn and sorghum during training, 1 part of pea and 1 part of pockmarked seed.

In addition to miscellaneous grains, it can also supply green fodder and mineral feed such as cabbage, cabbage and wheat seedlings. Mineral feed can be purchased from local homing pigeon associations. Can also be matched by yourself, generally to meet the needs of carrier pigeons. Mineral feed, such as 3 portions of yellow mud and 3 portions of yellow sand, 2 parts of cooked lime, 1 part of salt, 0.5 parts of shell powder or eggshell powder, 0.5 parts of charcoal, crushed and mixed with water to dry the ball, which was broken and placed in the pigeon house when fed.

2. Feed twice a day, once at about 7am and once at 04:30 in the afternoon. The morning feed accounts for 1x3 of its diet, and the afternoon feed accounts for 2max of its diet. The feed amount of each adult pigeon is about 50g per day, which can be increased a little during training. After the pigeon stops flying, it can be called back and fed, so that it can form a conditioned reflex to return to its nest.

3. During the training and competition of pigeons, more corn and peas should be fed, and water should be fed first, and then feed. Glucose water can be fed first, and then brine. In summer and during the period of hatching young pigeons, an appropriate amount of salt can be added to their drinking water.

4. Pigeons are very clean birds, so we must pay great attention to the cleanliness and hygiene of the pigeon house, at least twice a week in summer and autumn and once a week in winter.
