Breeding Prospect of Meat Pigeon in 2017

The meat pigeon industry is an emerging special poultry industry, which is listed in the Spark Program by the state, is the first of the 35 key projects promoted by the Ministry of Agriculture of China, and is the first "green food" recognized by the China Green Food Development Center. It has the characteristics of low cost, quick effect, easy feeding, stable benefit, one-time investment and six-year income. Market research and survey shows that the sales of domestic meat pigeons have been in short supply for 10 consecutive years, and the development of the pigeon industry has broad prospects and unlimited potential, which is a good way to get rich through labor.

According to modern scientific research, pigeons, especially squab, not only have delicate and delicious meat, but also have high nutritional value. Protein and energy rank first among meat foods, and they are a kind of natural high-grade nutrition and tonic. Squab is known as the treasure of poultry. Pigeon eggs are the traditional precious tonic and the main raw material of artificial bird's nest. Modern medicine has proved that pigeon eggs have the functions of beauty, nourishing yin and strengthening yang and anti-aging. Therefore, meat pigeon products are favored by people, and sales are increasing day by day.

In recent years, with the improvement of people's material living standards and the increasing development of foreign trade and tourism, the consumption of squab and pigeon eggs has increased year by year. According to relevant data, the annual demand for squab in major cities such as Shanghai, Beijing, Tianjin, Wuhan and Guangzhou has reached more than 1 million to 3 million around 1996, and the demand for squab has increased rapidly in recent years. The annual demand increased from 3 million to more than 100 million last year. It is predicted that the southeast coastal areas will buy hundreds of millions of pairs of squab from the mainland every year. Therefore, there is great market potential for the development of meat pigeons. At present, there is a large market demand for meat pigeons, especially squab, and the price is better. Each squab can be sold for about 20 yuan in Guangzhou and other places. Therefore, according to the needs of the market, all localities can actively and systematically develop meat pigeon breeding (especially squab) in a timely manner.
