What is the most profitable pigeon in 2016?

In general, a person can keep 500 pairs of pigeons in cage, with an average annual net profit of 2 to 35000 yuan, with the characteristics of low raising cost, short cycle, quick results and high economic benefits. It is very suitable for housewives to engage in courtyard breeding. It is a good project to get rich. Let's take a look at what pigeons are the most profitable in 2016.

What pigeons make the most money?

The cost of raising meat pigeons is much lower than that of raising broilers. From the mother pigeon laying eggs, after 17-18 days of hatching, brooding 24 days can be sold, the breeding period is very short. A breeding pigeon consumes 40 grams of food a day, and a lactating pigeon consumes 75 grams of food a day. When the squab is sold from its shell to 30 days old, it consumes a total of 1000 to 1500 grams of grain, and the amount of feed is very economical. In addition, at present, the price of protein feed is high, and the proportion of protein in meat chicken feed is as high as 20%, while that in meat pigeon feed is only 13%. If meat pigeons are raised intensively on a large scale, the feed cost is significantly lower than that of broilers.

The incubation period of pigeons is 17-18 days. Young pigeons are initially fed by pigeon milk in their parents' crop, and then gradually transferred from half-milk and half-grain to soaked grain. Meat pigeons grow very fast, and their body weight can reach 500 to 700 grams at the age of 25-30 days. Taking the annual production of 6 pairs of breeding pigeons as an example, according to the current purchase price of the foreign trade department, after deducting feed costs, drug fees and management fees, raising a pair of breeding pigeons can make a profit of 100,150 yuan a year. If the squab is selected and bred and sold as a reserve breeding pigeon at the age of 2 ~ 5 months, the profit is even greater and the prospect is very considerable.

Suggestions on developing Pigeon Culture

1. The development of the pigeon industry should rely on the leading enterprises and establish a stable contract relationship with the enterprises. The final model of any mature aquaculture industry is "leading enterprise + base", "leading enterprise + peasant household" or "leading enterprise + cooperative organization + peasant household". For farmers, relying on leading enterprises and establishing a stable contractual relationship with enterprises can effectively reduce market risk and ensure that they do not lose money. Enterprises generally implement one-stop service, for new breeders, it can well relieve the worries of breeding technology, feed and sales, so that they can devote all their energy to breeding and increase economic benefits.

2. Persevere in investing in the pigeon industry. Aquaculture is a continuous process, and pigeon farming is no exception. You must make a long-term plan before you invest. If you invest this year, you will not support it next year, and you will lose all your money. Therefore, once you have selected the right project, you should persevere and properly adjust the scale and variety according to the market situation, so as to ensure that the market makes a lot of money when the market is good, does not lose money when the market is bad, and eventually becomes a big winner in the aquaculture industry.

Cost and profit of pigeon breeding

1. Income and expenditure in the first year

① needs to buy 50 yuan for cages, troughs, sinks and other tools.

② buys 40 yuan for a pair of breeding pigeons.

③ young pigeons need feed 50g per day, feed price 1.34yuan / kg, breeding period 4.5months, total feed consumption 6.75kg (4.5months × 30 days × 50g, total cost 9 yuan (6.75kg × 1.34yuan). A breeding cycle of pigeons is 45 days. After the breeding pigeons are mature, they can reproduce 5 litters in the remaining 7.5 months. The breeding pigeons consume 100 grams per day during the breeding period, the feed price is 1.54 yuan / kg, and the rearing period is generally 25-28 days. If calculated according to the average 27-day rearing period, the total feed consumption of 5 litters of suckling pigeons is 13.5 kg (27 days × 100 grams × 5 nests), totaling 20.79 yuan (13.5 kg × 1.54 yuan). Other time consumption of 4.5 kg, (7.5 months × 30 days-27 days × 5 nests) × 50 grams, a total of 6 yuan. Therefore, it is necessary to invest 35.79 yuan in feed cost in the first year (9 yuan in breeding period + 20.79 yuan in brooding period + 6 yuan in other periods).

The cost of ④ epidemic prevention is 2 yuan, and the water and electricity charges are offset by the income from dung sales. Therefore, the total investment in the first year is 127.79 yuan (50 yuan for tools + 40 yuan for breeding pigeons + 35.79 yuan for feed and 2 yuan for epidemic prevention).

Gross income in the first year of ⑤: at present, the price of squab for 25-28 days is 9 yuan per pigeon. According to this price, 10 pigeons are produced in 5 litters, and the gross income is 90 yuan.

Net profit in the first year of ⑥: the breeding period of breeding pigeons is generally 4-5 years. According to the 4-year utilization period, the tool expenses are calculated according to 10-year depreciation, and the net profit is 37 yuan (90 yuan-40 yuan × 1 pound, 50 yuan × 1035. 79 yuan-2 yuan).

2. Annual income in the second year and beyond: only the cost of feed and epidemic prevention needs to be invested after the second year. Pigeons can lay 8 nests of eggs in one year after normal production, 2 in each litter, 16 squab, gross income 144 yuan, feed 36.5 kg per year, equivalent to 56.2 yuan, epidemic prevention cost 2 yuan, annual investment 58.2 yuan, net profit 72.8 yuan.

Conclusion: meat pigeon breeding is indeed a low-input, high-output breeding project, meat pigeon culture cycle is short, low cost, fast efficiency, high efficiency, is a very promising breeding industry, but also a good project to get rich quickly. Please make an in-depth study of the local market according to the local actual situation and develop meat pigeon breeding according to local conditions.
