Breeding prospect and economic value of black guinea pig

Guinea pig, also known as guinea pig, Dutch pig, sea pig. Native to Peru, South America. Belongs to the mammal class, guinea pig family. The normal life span of guinea pigs is 6-7 years. The average estrous cycle was 16 days. The average gestation period was 68 days. Male and female cohabitation for life can give birth to about five babies a year, with an average of more than 4 babies per litter. You can walk within an hour after birth, start eating pellet feed while drinking milk at the age of 1 day, and leave milk at the age of 15 days.

Because the meat of guinea pigs is delicious and easy to raise, guinea pigs are also part of the meat farming industry in Peru, India, Thailand and many other countries (just like our Chinese families raise several chickens and ducks). Peru alone produces more than 20 million guinea pigs for meat.

A few years ago, some speculators vigorously fried the black dolphin, making black dolphin farming a false project in the eyes of many people, coupled with the fact that individual scholars had no understanding of the economic value of the black dolphin. there is a gap between its evaluation and the facts: it is said that the black dolphin has no edible value, these scholars certainly have not eaten it, and they will not say this if it has no edible value, then how can guinea pigs be the meat staple food of many countries?

The economic value of the black dolphin

1. Black dolphins are high-protein, low-fat and low-cholesterol foods. Melanin can remove free radicals and prevent lipid peroxidation in the human body, thus delaying aging. The iron content is 3 times that of soft-shelled turtle, and it is also rich in anti-cancer and anti-cancer elements zinc and selenium, while the content of cholesterol and saturated fatty acids is very low, so it is an ideal nutrition and nourishing health food. in line with the consumption trend of natural health black food in the 21st century. Because the black dolphin meat is almost all muscle, the fiber is more delicate than rabbit meat, and does not contain fishy taste, so it has the characteristics of easy cooking, crisp and fast cooking. Black dolphin meat taste sweet flat, beneficial qi and blood, detoxification effect, used to treat weakness, old kidney deficiency, postpartum anemia and other diseases. The testes of black dolphins can be used as drugs for the treatment of epilepsy, and serotonin can be extracted from dolphin blood.

2. The fur of the black dolphin is a good raw material for processing fur clothing and handicrafts, and its processability and decorative performance can be comparable to that of mink skin. it can be used to make fur clothing, shawls, gloves and dolphin series toys. Black dolphin can also be used as an ornamental animal to provide favorite pets for pet breeders, especially children.

3. Black dolphin is a small animal with gentle temperament, easy to Baoding, high value of blood utilization and convenient collection, so it can be widely used in physiology, medicine, immunity, reproduction and bioengineering experiments. According to reports, Japan, South Korea, China and other countries have selected black dolphins as experimental animals, the annual demand is more than hundreds of thousands, and the domestic will be far more than hundreds of thousands in the future. Therefore, the black dolphin is an ideal and widely used experimental animal.

4. Black dolphin feces and urine is a high-quality organic fertilizer. An adult black dolphin accumulates 90 kilograms of fertilizer per year. The contents of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in black dolphin feces are much higher than those in other livestock and poultry feces. It is estimated that 100 kg of black dolphin manure is equivalent to 10, 92 kg of ammonium sulfate and 1, 97 kg of potassium sulfate, and black dolphin fertilizer can improve soil structure, increase organic matter and improve soil fertility. The experiment in the yellow mud (acid) soil of Fenghuang Mountain in Chengdu City, Sichuan Province showed that the organic matter of the yellow mud soil treated with black dolphin dung increased by 42% and 3%, and the nitrogen content increased by 43% and 86%, which significantly improved the soil quality and soil structure.

To sum up, according to China's national conditions and the advantages of the black dolphin industry, the development of grain-saving black dolphins has a very good breeding prospect, of course, the most important thing is to correctly guide, seed speculation is not a real skill, the development of commodity economy is the future.

Advantages of black dolphin farming

1. The black dolphin belongs to the wild economic animals allowed by the state to breed and the market is open, and the market can circulate smoothly.

2. The meat of the black dolphin is delicious, which is on a par with masked palm civet. In particular, the black dolphin is a herbivore and a green food, and the market demand is increasing.

3. The cost of raising black dolphins is low and the technical difficulty is not great. The cost of raising black dolphins is only 1/6 of that of masked palm civet, and the technical difficulty is 1/10 of masked palm civet's. The comprehensive cost of raising a commercial black dolphin with a weight of 500,800g is only about 4 yuan.

4. The technical difficulty of black dolphin breeding is low, there are few diseases, there is no plague, very simple breeding, the survival rate is more than 90%. Unlike raising rabbits, chickens, ducks and other economic animals, once a plague occurs, they will suffer heavy losses.

5. The breeding of black dolphins has quick results and good benefits. 10 pairs of black dolphins can reproduce more than 300 per year, with a net profit of more than 3000 yuan. The daily feed expenditure of 200 pairs is only that of a sow, and the rest is forage feed.

Explanation of some problems in guinea pig culture

1. Guinea pigs do not believe in bag recycling. Guinea pigs raised by themselves need to be sold on their own. Why not recycle it? There are several reasons: the selling price of guinea pigs is not high. For example, if you are a thousand kilometers away from the seed supplier, the transportation, packaging and quarantine expenses of one kilogram of guinea pigs will be half of your breeding cost. How much profit do you still have when transported to the seed supplier? Therefore, the cost of selling all kinds of animals over a long distance and on a small scale is on the high side. Those who sell seeds and seedlings for recovery never mention the problem of transportation during recovery, while farmers think they have taken reassurance when they see the recovery. They take advantage of this mentality. After the farmers have raised them, they will transport them to the recyclers who sell the seeds: the breeding cost + the transportation cost + can not meet the low price they require. As a result, it was all the farmers who lost.

2. About the preparation and investment before guinea pig breeding: first of all, make sure that there is enough green feed to build a guinea pig culture pond, which is very simple, a square pond with a height of 20 centimeters and an area of one square meter. The investment in facilities is very low in animal breeding, and the investment in the construction of a pool with an area of 100m2 is less than 2000 yuan (excluding the house). The breeding house can be protected from the wind and rain in winter and ventilated in summer, and there is no need to heat up in winter. some fans can be installed in summer; plant some forage in advance, and green fodder such as rich vegetable scraps can be farmed directly. We have promoted a lot of guinea pig breeding in China, and it is basically successful. Some farmers bring good business to their restaurants with the special dishes of guinea pigs.

3. Guinea pigs need enough green fodder, which can be the scraps of various vegetables, corn leaves, sugarcane leaves, rich leaves (more than 95% of the leaves are guinea pig food), carrots, sweet potatoes and so on. However, it is suggested that some forage grass should be planted. Generally speaking, 200 guinea pigs and their offspring should plant at least 3 mu of forage grass.

4. The best introduction time for guinea pigs is in spring, autumn and winter, and it is not recommended to introduce in high temperature season.

5. The entry of guinea pig breeding into the market is basically zero all over the country, and all markets must be developed on their own. Guinea pig meat is indeed a very good green food for herbivores, with low breeding cost, few diseases, low facility investment and simple management. Before breeding, it is recommended that you must come to inspect and taste it in person, and then breed after you think it is feasible. There are many varieties of guinea pigs, and our breed is one of them in China. It is easy to raise and reproduce quickly. It takes about three months for guinea pigs to be born to about 650 grams. The previous calculation cost was calculated in 2004. According to the current price (currently the highest historical feed price), the total cost per animal is about 5 or 5 yuan.
