Do you make money by raising chickens in 2018?

A year ago, chicken farming was still an industry favored by most people, causing many people to enter the chicken industry wantonly, but in half a year, the chicken industry encountered Waterloo, which made many chicken farmers fall into a bottomless abyss and caught farmers unprepared. This gives many people the question of whether chicken farming makes money or not. Let's take a look at whether chicken farming makes money in 2018.

Do you make money by raising layers in 2018?

In 2018, laying hens do not calculate labor costs and still make a profit when the wholesale price of eggs is 4 yuan per kilogram. The breeding cost of one laying hen is 2.5 yuan for chicks, 9.75 yuan for feed, 1.5 yuan for vaccination, 0.5 yuan for veterinary medicine, and 15.25 yuan for the equivalent loss of dead and clean chickens, totaling 15.25 yuan. The average sale of eliminated chickens is 7.5 yuan, and the remaining 6.75 yuan is left after the death rate is reduced by 10%, so each chicken invests 8.5 yuan. Excluding electricity, equipment maintenance, vaccine and veterinary medicine during the laying period, the profit of each chicken feather is 5.4 yuan. In some areas, chicken dung will have a certain income, and the profit can reach about 6 yuan.

Does raising native chickens make money in 2018?

For example, according to the cost of 2 yuan per female chicken seedling, the cost of 500 chicken seedlings is 1000 yuan, and the feed cost is 160kg in the early stage of brooding. For 30 days after taking off the temperature, the chicks were fed 0.06kg per day, the price was 1.2yuan / kg, and the cost was 1080 yuan. Self-made full-price feed was fed for 94 days during the breeding period, each animal was fed 0.05kg per day, the price was 1.1yuan / kg, and the cost was 2585 yuan. During the laying period of 215days, each animal was supplemented with 0.075 kg full-price feed per day at a price of 1.2yuan / kg, and the cost was 9675 yuan, totaling 13636 yuan. Epidemic prevention and other fees are calculated at 1 yuan per chicken, totaling 500 yuan. The total cost is 15136 yuan. According to the egg laying period of 215 days, one egg per chicken every 2 days, the weight of each 22 eggs is 1 kg, and the price of eggs per kilogram is 6 yuan, the annual egg income of 500 chickens is 14659 yuan. In addition, if the eliminated chickens are calculated on the basis of 1.75kg and 8 yuan per kilogram, the income of 500 chickens will be 7000 yuan and the total income will reach 21659 yuan.

How can we reduce the cost of raising chickens?

1. Reasonable ingredients: choose appropriate feeding standards according to different production types, different physiological stages and different production levels. In the selection of raw materials, try to use local materials, select raw materials with rich nutrition and low price, strive for the diversification of raw materials, in order to ensure the improvement of nutrients, if necessary, feed additives should be supplemented, and the content of crude fiber in feed generally does not exceed 5%.

2. Feed less frequently: 12% is wasted when feed is added to 2 / 3 of the trough, 5% is wasted when 1 / 2 is added, and 2% is wasted when 1 / 3 is added. Therefore, less frequent feeding should be maintained when feeding, and one feeding should not exceed 1x3 of the trough (tray). To prevent excessive feed, chickens use their beaks and claws to get the feed out of the trough (plate), resulting in waste.

3. Proper feeding: chickens of different ages are fed with different amounts. During the rearing period, the growth is fast, and the daily feed intake of chickens is gradually increasing, so the daily feed intake should be adjusted in time. In the breeding stage, each animal was 52 grams per day, 57 grams at the age of 8 weeks, and 77 grams at the age of 20 weeks. The feed intake varies slightly with different varieties during the laying period.

4. Clean the feed trough: when drinking water, the chicken is easy to bring the sticky material on its beak to the sink, and the sink should be cleaned once every night before lights out, so that the clean "water material" can be fed to the pig. Every day after turning on the light early in the morning, we have to shovel up the material stuck in the trough for the chicken to eat, and disperse the material pile formed when the chicken is picking and eating feed in time.

5. Supplementary feeding of gravel: feeding noisy gravel contributes to the grinding of feed in the muscle and stomach, helps digestion and absorption, and increases the digestibility by 38%.

6. Cut off beak in time: chicks at 7-9 days of age can not only prevent pecking, but also effectively reduce feed waste, generally saving 3%.

7. Timely elimination: timely elimination of chickens with no feeding value, such as unable to stand up, sick eyes and crooked mouth during the breeding period, and breeding cocks that are particularly thin, do not lay eggs, are chronically sick and have poor semen quality and no breeding value during the laying period.

8. Feed storage: feed and raw materials should be stored in a non-leaking, moist, dry and ventilated room to prevent mildew and deterioration. When processing acid feed, feed for 5 to 7 days at a time to prevent the loss of nutrients in the feed.

9. Prevention and control of rodent damage: rats not only destroy feed, kill chicks, frighten chicks, but also spread epidemic disease, so it is necessary to take a variety of measures to do a good job of killing rats. At the same time, sparrows should be prevented from eating feed and extra waste should be reduced.
