Cost and profit of raising Duck in 2017

With the rise of labor and feed prices, it also has a certain impact on the duck farming industry, so many duck farmers are worried about the increase in the cost of raising ducks and the benefits of raising ducks, and are hesitant to continue raising ducks. for these friends who are already raising ducks, or those who plan to join new duck farmers, let's take a look at the costs and profits of raising ducks in 2017.

The cost of raising ducks in 2017

1. The cost of duck seedlings: 1.50 yuan per duck seedling, and the cost of 3000 duck seedlings is 1.5 yuan, 3000yuan, 4500 yuan.

2, duck feed cost: duck feed 1.7 yuan per jin, a duck from the shed for 45 days, eat about 13 jacks of material. The feed cost of one duck is 1.7yuan * 13jin = 22.1yuan, and the feed cost of 3000 ducks is 22.1yuan * 3000 = 66300 yuan.

3. The total cost: 4500 yuan, 66300 yuan, 70800 yuan.

Profits from raising ducks in 2017

1, duck income: a duck out of the pen about 6.5jin, 3.9yuan per jin, a duck can sell 25.35yuan, a total of 25.35yuan * 3000 = 76050 yuan.

2. The profit of raising ducks: benefit-cost = 76050 yuan-70800 yuan = 5250 yuan. The profit of raising 6 batches of ducks a year is more than 30 thousand yuan.

How to reduce the cost of raising ducks?

1. Select improved breeds: excellent meat ducks have higher genetic potential, fast growth rate, strong disease resistance and high feed utilization rate. At the same age, they consume the same amount of feed, and their weight gain is much higher than that of other meat ducks. For example, the 45-day-old Beijing commercial meat duck weighs 3.2 kg, feed conversion rate is 2.4, and breast meat rate is 13.5%. In Cherry Valley duck, the body weight of 47-day-old commercial duck is 3.0 kg, the feed conversion rate is 3, the lean meat rate is more than 70%, and the breast meat rate is 23.6-24.7%. Muscovy duck 3-month-old body weight male duck 2.7 kg, female duck 1.8 kg, feed conversion rate 3, lean meat rate reached about 75%. In addition, native to Australia Digao duck is also a good breed.

2. Temperature control: the feed consumption of raising ducks will change according to the temperature, humidity, water supply, drying degree, breeding state and feed quality of the surrounding environment, among which the consumption of feed by temperature is more obvious. The suitable growth temperature of meat duck is generally between 12 and 24 ℃. Feed can be used effectively in this temperature range. Therefore, it is necessary to create conditions as far as possible, such as shed captivity in winter and shade in summer, in order to keep warm and cool down to improve feed reward.

3, the feed is fresh: first, the raw material should be fresh, and the second is that the feed should be stored in a ventilated and dry place, and a layer of moisture-proof material should be placed between the ground and the ground. Mix materials should be used up as soon as possible and be fed frequently to prevent hardening and mildew. Moldy feed is easy to cause meat duck poisoning, dysentery and so on, thus reducing the utilization rate of feed.

4. Dietary balance: the proportion of protein and energy in the feed of meat duck should be balanced, and the energy value in the feed should be appropriate. when the energy value is too high, the feed consumption will increase, resulting in the waste of some nutrients.

5. rational use of additives: nutritional additives such as minerals, vitamins and amino acids are necessary, and other non-nutritional additives are also helpful to improve the growth rate and feed utilization rate of meat ducks. For example, bacteriostatic and growth promoting agents such as bacillus peptide zinc, oxytetracycline, furazolidone and quinolinol have obvious effects on improving weight gain and feed utilization rate of meat ducks.

6. timely fencing: according to the use of the duck, if it is a meat duck for roasting, it is generally appropriate for about 30 days, and for meat ducks for segmentation, it is generally appropriate for 40-48 days, because at this time, the weight gain and feed reward of meat ducks have reached the peak. after 50 days of age, the weight gain of meat ducks decreased and the feed reward decreased.
