Can raising quail really make money?

Quail is a small species in the pheasant family. Although the breeding time of quails in China is relatively short, it has developed rapidly. At present, the number of quails has reached about 200 million, and it has become the largest country in raising quails in the world. Besides supplying high-end hotels and restaurants, quails are also processed into canned, pine flower preserved eggs, which are widely loved by consumers. Let's take a look at whether raising quails can really make money.

Can raising quail really make money?

Raising quail can make money. Objectively speaking, raising quails is more reliable than raising chickens, because quails lay eggs quickly, with less investment and low risk. Quails can lay eggs in 40 days, but it takes four months for chickens to lay eggs. Moreover, raising chickens for a long time and eating too much are prone to the outbreak of various diseases, while quails have much less risk in this respect. in addition, quails have stronger disease resistance than chickens, ducks, geese and other birds. Quails are also not low in terms of breeding efficiency and market prospects. the price of quail eggs is about twice that of eggs, and the demand and sales of quail meat are also rising rapidly.

How much does it cost to raise 10,000 quails?

The main results are as follows: 1. The cost of cage: the density is 600.70 pieces per square meter (calculated according to 6 layers). The area of raising ten thousand quails is 1.5cm, 1.5mm, 30cm, 67.5m, and 30 sets of cages are needed. The total amount is 7500 yuan per group.

2. Prophase cost: quail seedling 0.60 yuan / partridge + opening feed 1.7x0.35yuan / pig + youth feed 1.6x0.75yuan / pig + antecedent casualty 0.2yuan / only = 2.6yuan / 10000 birds = 26000 yuan.

3. Egg period cost: an egg laying cycle (10 to 12 months) each quail uses 15 jin of material, which is calculated at 1.36 yuan per jin, totaling 20.4 yuan per catty, 0.5 yuan for medicine, (20.4 yuan 0.5) × 10000 × 91% = 190000 yuan.

4. Other costs: 1200 yuan for coal + 200 yuan for water + 300 yuan for electricity + 2000 yuan for labor cost = 3700 yuan. The total investment for raising 10000 quails is 7500 + 26000 + 190000 + 3700 = 227200 yuan.

What are the advantages of quail farming?

1. Less investment: quail farming occupies a small area, even if large-scale quail breeding sites occupy much less land and houses than other poultry and do not require heavy physical labor, and the expenditure for epidemic prevention is also very small.

2. More output: the quail can mature in 40-50 days. When the meat type is 42 days old, it can reach 220g and consume only 700g of feed. The egg type lays about 270eggs in a year, with a total weight of 3000 g.

3. Fast turnover: the feeding cycle of quails is short, and the capital investment is less, each one accounts for no more than 1.6 yuan, which is much faster than that of other poultry.

4. Low risk: quail breeding has the characteristics of less input, more output and fast capital turnover, so it is not easy to cause economic losses in quail breeding, and generally speaking, there is no need to take too much risk.
