Prospect of native chicken breeding in 2017

Native chicken is also called native chicken, stupid chicken, etc., which is different from caged broiler, among which "hillside scattered native chicken" is the best, the traditional breed of breeding in our country. A few years ago, due to the weakness of the native chicken itself, such as slow growth, small size, low egg production and so on. It has been gradually replaced by excellent foreign varieties, and the number of breeding has been greatly reduced. However, in recent years, with the change of people's consumption level and consumption concept, the consumption of native chicken has gradually increased, which has become a new hot spot in the rural breeding industry. Let's take a look at the prospect of native chicken breeding in 2017.

Market prospect of native chicken

Pure native chicken market is quite popular, due to the lack of exercise in the breeding process, the meat is soft, and when feeding, antibiotics, hormones and other drugs are added to the feed, chicken products contain residual drugs, people will be contaminated by drug residues after eating. With the change of people's consumption concept and taste, the consumption of broilers will gradually decrease. In the process of breeding, the native chicken mainly adopts the way of free breeding and eats whole grains in the natural environment, which has a large amount of exercise, no pollution, delicate meat, good taste, rich nutrition, and is deeply welcomed by people, and the products are in short supply in the market.

Farming cost of native chicken

The cost of raising native chicken is very low, and the cost of a native chicken is only about 4 yuan a year. The main reason is that the investment of chicken seedlings is low. When raising chickens in rural areas, they mainly use the way of credit when buying chicken seedlings, putting them on "credit" in spring and paying when native chickens grow up in autumn, and the price of each chicken seedling is only about 1.5 yuan, and the investment of chicken seedlings is less, and every household can raise them. Second, the feed consumption is low. Most chickens are raised in a free-range way, and chickens mainly look for insects and grass seeds in the fields and forests in spring, summer and autumn, which is commonly known as "fighting the field" in rural areas. Farmers can only feed a small amount of concentrate at night. Compared with raising meat chickens, it can save more than 2x3 of feed and greatly reduce the feeding cost.

Profit from native chicken breeding

The income of native chicken is quite considerable. At present, the price of native chicken on the market is 14 yuan / kg, and a chicken can earn 18 yuan. After deducting the cost, a chicken earns 14 yuan. If a farmer raises 200 chickens a year, he will get a net income of 2800 yuan without affecting other production. At the same time, because the native eggs are nutritious, delicious and pollution-free, they are also favored by people. If it sells for 1 yuan per piece on the market, if each chicken lays 150 eggs a year, it can earn another 150 yuan.

Note: in the process of native chicken breeding, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of chicken diseases, especially the prevention of Newcastle disease. Chicken Newcastle disease is a severe infectious disease that seriously harms chickens, which is commonly known as "chicken plague" in rural areas. Native chickens often die without any obvious symptoms after infection, with a mortality rate of more than 90%. Prevention is the only way to control Newcastle disease in chickens. Generally, Newcastle disease Ⅱ vaccine is injected into the eyes and nose of 7-day-old native chickens, then injected intramuscularly at the age of 28 days and 30 days, and then injected intramuscularly every half a year, which can significantly reduce the incidence of Newcastle disease, reduce the loss and improve the efficiency of breeding.
