Does raising centipedes make money?

At present, the prospect of centipede breeding can still make money. Centipede is a kind of medicinal animal, the price of processing bubble centipede, the price of large centipede up to 12 centimeters in Miaozhou medicine market is 1.8 yuan 1.9 yuan, the middle strip (length 10 centimeters) 1.2 centimeters 1.3 yuan, small strips (length 6.7 centimeters 10 centimeters) 0.6 yuan 0.7 yuan per piece, please note that this is the price of dried centipedes after processing. Moreover, the fried centipede is also gradually accepted by some people, it is said that the sales price also reached 3 yuan per piece. In the past, centipedes were mainly caught in the wild, but in recent years, with the aggravation of environmental pollution, excessive capture and the continuous expansion of the scope of application, wild centipede resources have become more and more exhausted, and the supply of goods appears to be in short supply. From this point of view, breeding centipedes is a good way to get rich.

Culture cost of centipede

Centipede culture feed is very extensive, general animal viscera, vegetables and fruits, vegetable farms, restaurants, kitchen leftovers can be, low cost, now in order to feed yellow powder insect calculation, 3 kilograms of rice bran raised yellow powder insect 1 kilogram, rice bran 1.2yuan per kilogram, 3kg total 3.6yuan, 600 mother species average solar eclipse yellow powder insect 60 grams totaling 0.216 yuan. The feeding cost per batch of mother species is 0.216 yuan × 90 days = 19.44 yuan, the food cost of 36000 pieces of larvae is 19.44 yuan × 60 times × 0.5mm 583.2 yuan, the labor cost (1 hour per day) is 10 yuan / working day × 90 days = 900 yuan, the average introduction fee is 1200 yuan, the construction cost of culture is 500 yuan, and the cost of drug disinfection is 50 yuan, the total cost is 19.44 yuan 583.2 yuan 900 yuan 1200 million 500 yuan 500 yuan 3252.64 yuan.

Breeding profit of centipede

When selling centipedes, the selling price of 36000 centipedes is 54000 yuan, and the profit is 54000-3252.64 centipedes 50747.36 yuan. The above profits are calculated as each batch. If each batch is cultivated and bred four times a year, the annual profit is 68747.36 yuan × 4cm 202989.44 yuan.

Culture risk of centipede

1. Restricted by pharmaceutical companies: the demand for centipedes mainly comes from pharmaceutical companies, but it is of little use elsewhere. Although over-capture in previous years consumes a lot of wild centipede resources, it also increases the inventory of pharmaceutical factories. Many pharmaceutical companies have basically saturated demand for centipedes, and this situation will continue for some time, so breeding centipedes may not make a good profit at this time.

2. The breeding technology is very difficult: when the centipede is cultured, it has certain requirements for temperature, humidity and breeding facilities, and the centipede with high medicinal value grows slowly and has a long culture cycle. Investors must know the habits, mating and spawning time of centipedes like the back of their hand, all of which must have certain professional knowledge and practical experience. Any mistakes in any link will ruin the early investment.

3. It is difficult to preserve centipedes: usually, the centipedes needed by pharmaceutical companies are bundles of dried centipedes, which need to be dried by investors before they are sold. During this period, dead centipedes are very easy to give birth to insects, and the price of insect-bearing centipedes is low. There is no doubt that the profit space for investors' centipede farming has been further reduced.

Conclusion: although the centipede culture can make money, it must be careful when developing the centipede culture. In the absence of technology accumulation, the large investment is more risky than the centipede culture project.
