How much does it cost to run a chicken farm? How to dispose of the waste?

Due to the demand of the chicken market, there are more and more chicken farms. And what farmers are most concerned about is how much does it cost to run a chicken farm? How to dispose of the waste produced? Let's learn about it together.

How much does it cost to run a chicken farm?

Compared with the breeding of other products, chicken farming has the characteristics of low investment, low risk and high profit. Before setting up a chicken farm, you need to choose a chicken breed that is suitable for you. There are many kinds of chickens, which are roughly divided into native chickens, broilers, pheasants and so on. Each chicken breed is subdivided into many breeds, and if you choose different chicken breeds, the economic benefits produced by the chicken farm are also different. Compared with broiler and native chicken, the market price of native chicken is 1-2 times that of broiler chicken, or even higher, and its popularity is also higher than that of broiler chicken products. in the breeding environment, the breeding scale of broiler chicken is generally larger than that of native chicken, and it is industrial farming. Management is more convenient. So the cost of raising different varieties is also different.

But basically, the investment in running a chicken farm mainly includes the following aspects:

1. Fixed investment, including the design cost, construction cost, renovation cost of the construction project, as well as the equipment cost of purchasing equipment, transportation cost, installation cost and so on.

two。 Working capital: mainly including feed, water and electricity, fuel, immune drugs enough to select chicken breeds, and so on. The cost of feed accounts for 7080% of the total investment in aquaculture.

Waste treatment of chicken farm

1. Feces are the main wastes of chicken farms, and the full use of chicken manure can bring better economic, ecological and social benefits.

1. Chicken manure is used as fertilizer. Clean out the fresh chicken manure directly and transport it to the farmland after drying as the base fertilizer for fruit trees, flowers and food crops; it can also accumulate fresh chicken manure naturally, composting is the most common treatment. Chicken manure can also be processed into organic fertilizer.

2. Chicken manure was used as feed. Chicken manure is a cheap low-energy protein feed, which can be used to replace part of the protein feed. Chicken manure can be processed into feed after pretreatment such as silage, drying, fermentation and so on. It can also feed fish, pigs, sheep and so on, which not only makes full use of resources, but also improves economic benefits.

3. Chicken manure is used as energy. Feces can be used to produce biogas. It is common to mix chicken manure with grass or straw according to a certain proportion for fermentation, or with the manure of other livestock. At the same time, the waste liquid and residue produced after fermentation are good fertilizers. Both dry and wet samples of chicken manure can be burned, and the heat generated can be used for power generation. The fermentation residue of chicken manure can also be used in multiple stages, which can greatly improve the ecological environment, which is the development trend in the future.

Second, the sewage of chicken farms. The sewage of the chicken farm mainly comes from the wastewater from flushing the chicken cottage. if it is allowed to flow, it will spread the stench and pollute the environment and groundwater. The basic methods of chicken farm sewage treatment are physical treatment, chemical treatment and biological treatment.

III. Dead chickens and others

All the sick and dead chickens were treated by deep burial or incineration. The waste from the hatchery can also be used after harmless treatment, such as non-sperm eggs, stillbirth, fetus, wool eggs and dead chickens can be added as animal feed; eggshell powder made from eggshell treatment can be used as calcium feed or processed into fertilizer.

Attached: the procedures required for running a chicken farm and the conditions for applying for the Certificate of Animal epidemic Prevention

1. Farmers must use land temporarily to build aquaculture facilities, otherwise, the land administration department will deal with it according to illegal occupation of land.
