The cost of crocodile culture

Crocodiles consume mainly meat (including scraps, chicken bones, etc.) and fish, with an average annual feed amount of 72.6 kg, equivalent to no more than 500 yuan. In addition, raising alligators can make maximum use of breeding places and equipment, the area of breeding fence is not very large, and the breeding density is quite large. Young alligators can be raised 17 per square meter within one year, and 1 adult alligator per square meter of 2 ~ 5 years old. However, the density of adult alligators that have been bred for more than 10 years is slightly lower, and the breeding area of each alligator is 10 square meters.

The profit of crocodile culture

Crocodiles have a strong ability to reproduce. Female crocodiles over the age of 10 lay an average of 40 to 70 eggs per year. According to practical experience, they can reproduce about 40 young crocodiles. Female crocodiles can lay eggs for decades or even hundreds of years. Alligator cubs need only 3 to 5 years of feeding can be converted into product processing and utilization, because such age slaughtering, its feed cost is the lowest and the economic benefit is the greatest. If the breeding population of more than 20 female alligators is calculated on the basis of an average of 40 young alligators per year, the population can reproduce nearly 800 young alligators per year. According to the calculation that at least 20,000 yuan is needed for the introduction of each alligator, the price of adult alligators in China is 30,000 to 60,000 yuan. If as an alligator product, after 3-5 years of breeding, its price is at least 15000 yuan, excluding the cost, it can still achieve considerable economic benefits.
