Breeding prospect and price of toad

Toads, also known as scabies toads, etc., are amphibians of the family Bufonidae. They like to hide in mud holes, damp stones, grass, and ditch edges. There are many pimples and poisonous glands on the body. Toad and toad clothes extracted from the body are scarce medicinal materials in our country, with high breeding value and breeding prospects. Let's take a look at the breeding prospects and prices of toads.

How much is a toad?

The valuable part of toads is their medicinal materials-- toad clothing and toad venom. It is worthless for live toads not to collect medicinal materials. Generally speaking, even if live toads are sold, the price is only about 4-6 yuan per jin, and the benefit is very low. If there are live toads, they can collect and sell their own medicinal materials, so the income is also very considerable. At present, the price of toad clothing is generally in the range of 0.5 to 10,000 per jin, and the price of toad is in the range of 1200 to 5000 yuan per jin.

What are the prospects for toad breeding?

With the decrease of wild resources, it is difficult to see a large number of toads in the wild, and China has also severely cracked down on the capture of wild toads. At present, the market demand for toad venom is also increasing, and the price has been rising all the way. now the price has risen from 3000 yuan per catty to 5000 yuan per jin in previous years. According to industry insiders, China's current acquisition of toad venom can only reach 23% of the demand, there is still a large market vacancy, and the prospect of toad breeding is still considerable. However, toad breeding needs certain technology, if there is a certain toad breeding technology to achieve large-scale breeding of toad, and then understand the toad extraction, toad clothing collection and processing technology, the economic benefits are not small.

Can you really make money by raising toads?

1. Cost: 1000 toads of 100g, at the rate of 5 yuan per jin, 500 yuan. The breeding site of 1000 toads needs 300m2, and the rent of the site is about 300yuan. It takes about 500yuan to be surrounded by plastic film to prevent escape, and the shed site is about 2000 yuan. The feed and management cost is calculated according to 5000 yuan. The total investment cost is 500 yuan + 2000 yuan + 5000 yuan = 8300 yuan.

2. Income: one live toad can take toad clothes from April to October every year, and at least two toads can shed their clothes every month. 1000 toads can produce 12000 toad clothes in 6 months. According to the unit weight of 0.3g, it can produce 3.6kg of toad clothes, according to the clothing rate of 80%. It can produce a whole piece of toad clothes 2.88kg, with a minimum of 10,000 yuan / kg, and an income of 28800 yuan. The production of thin clothes is 0.72kg, the lowest is 6000yuan / kg, and the income is 4320 yuan, that is, 1000 toads can make a profit of 33120 yuan by collecting toad clothes in one year.

3. Profit: 33120 yuan-8300 yuan = 24820 yuan, such as the individual size of the toad, its breeding benefit will be higher.

Expansion: toad breeding technology

1. Site construction: a fence is set around the toad farm with a height of 1 meter, and the area is determined by the scale. Leave open space in or by the pool to plant lawns or vegetables, and appropriate amount of aquatic plants are raised. At the same time, raising yellow powder insects, fly maggots, earthworms or lamp traps to increase bait.

2. Artificial propagation: Bufo bufo gargarizans, Bufo bufo gargarizans and Bufo bufo gargarizans were caught and planted. Adult toads spawned at 10 ℃ and laid about 5000 eggs each time. Tadpoles were hatched in the incubator at 18-24 ℃ in 3-4 days, and the tadpoles were strengthened.

3. Stocking density: 2000 tadpoles per square meter, reduced to 500 tadpoles per 20 days, 30 toads and 40 young toads. At the same time, they were raised in pools and groups according to different developmental stages.

4. Feed preparation: the newly hatched tadpoles were fed with fresh palatable bait such as cooked egg yolk and water flea twice a day after 5 days. Toads were fed with fly maggots, earthworms, Tenebrio Molitor and Chlorella bait. Adult toad has a large food intake, so bean cake, bran, flour, fish meal and other formula feed can be used.
