Is the snake making money in 2016?

Raising snakes artificially has also become a good way for farmers' friends and laid-off workers to shake off poverty and become rich, and investing in raising snakes is also a good project to start a business, because the market for snakes is very good, and demand exceeds supply year after year. Now that there are fewer snakes in the wild, not only do they not worry about selling snakes, but there are also many snake vendors grabbing goods. Will raising snakes make money in 2016?. Let's take a look at it together.

The market prospect of raising snakes

The prospect of raising snakes is very good, and the price of snakes will not change too much for at least 10 years or so. The price of snakes has risen year after year from the SARS period to the present, and the market is in short supply, coupled with a sharp decrease in the number of wild snakes. Snake farming has become hot. At present, the supply of meat snakes in Guangdong, Guangxi, Hong Kong and other places is more difficult to meet. Let alone anywhere else.

The processing of snake products is still in a very primitive stage of development. The reason why snake products have not been fully developed is that the market is in short supply. The common species farmed in the south are cobra, hydro snake, king snake and so on, most of which are sold to Guangzhou. Many bosses come to buy. Don't worry about not being able to sell.

Vegetable snake is an edible species outside the scope of national legal protection, and its nutritional value and taste are comparable to those of Agkistrodon acutus and other protected snake species. Under the premise that the state makes great efforts to protect rare poisonous snakes, vegetable snakes are bound to be popular in the market and become a substitute for the above-mentioned snake species. In addition, vegetable snakes are non-toxic or low-toxic varieties, which will not bring accidental personal injury to breeders. Breeding vegetable snakes not only protects rare snakes, meets the market demand, but also brings high benefits to breeders. Raising snakes can also be sold to the factory to extract snake gall and make medicine.

Economic benefits of raising snakes

A successful connoisseur says: it is better to raise a snake than a pig. Due to the decreasing number of wild snakes, the price of snakes on the market has risen steadily year after year. And the snake price varies greatly throughout the year, and the price in winter is about 2-3 times higher than that in the normal season, and the price in early autumn is also different from that in late autumn. According to the calculation of a female snake, 12-19 snakes are bred each year, and as many as 30 snakes are produced. If sold as small snake seedlings, the price is about 10 yuan per piece. If you raise the breeding snake for a year, you can get more than 4-10 jin of snake meat and sell it at the lowest price in the market, you can make a profit of more than 100-250 yuan.

Snake venom is priceless, several times or even ten times that of gold, but to whom is such expensive snake venom sold? Where is its market? For ordinary people, it is a mysterious field. When the reporter came to the market of traditional Chinese medicine in Bozhou, Anhui Province, the largest distribution center of traditional Chinese medicine in China, he found that snake venom was not available at all in this so-called all-inclusive Chinese medicine market.

In addition, the economic benefit of raising snakes also depends on the unit output and production cost. If we can use reasonable breeding methods and skills, reduce costs, formulate reasonable material reserves, reduce the long-term occupation of funds, and so on, it is an effective way to improve economic benefits.

Market Prospect of Snake Venom

The dried venom of the five-step snake, such a bottle of snake venom weighs about 250g and is worth 200000 US dollars. Why is the price of snake venom so high? And there are scarce products on the market? Because venomous snakes do not mean that everyone can raise them, they need excellent skills to obtain poison, hatch, and master its temperature and humidity. Unlike that kind of green vegetables, any one can be planted.

Through the investigation, it is found that although the application of snake venom in China has begun a long time ago, snake venom is a highly toxic product and cannot be sold in the medicine market. China has not yet formed a complete and standardized snake venom market so far, and more can only be traded in private, so the snake venom market is covered with a mysterious veil.

However, the value of snakes is not only snake venom, snakes are covered with treasures. In addition to snake venom, dried snakes, snake bile, snake powder and other medicinal materials are available in the Anhui Miaozhou medicine market.

Points for attention in raising snakes

1. To invest in raising snakes, you must first have reliable techniques for raising snakes. Friends who do not have such skills might as well investigate more, discuss and demonstrate with experienced experts, and learn the techniques of raising snakes. We must not launch the horse blindly without any technical basis. Some friends buy some snakes, snake eggs or snake seedlings to try to raise at home, this practice is doomed to failure.

2. It is best to invest the funds in stages and in batches, so that the danger will be reduced to zero and the expected good results will be achieved. The investment of beginner snake owners can be large or small, and so far there is no relatively clear capital location. It is suggested that it should be decided according to one's economic affordability, and it is best to act according to one's ability, develop slowly from small to big, and strive to achieve steady development and growth. Do not eat a mouthful to become fat, resulting in the tragedy that the "snake" has no return.

3. Choose the type of snake: snake lovers located in the south should investigate the snake market in the local and surrounding counties and cities, and choose snake species with wide circulation and high consumption. Because the climate in the south is suitable and the temperature in the four seasons is not too high, it is the origin of many snakes, so both poisonous snakes and non-poisonous snakes can be farmed artificially. Although their selectivity is not strong, they must follow the market, determine the varieties according to the market and market, and never raise them blindly, resulting in the "farce" of successful snake breeding but not making money and earning "snake breeders" empty. At present, the snakes that are easier to raise snakes in the south are Wang Jin Snake, Cobra and Hydra Snake, but at present, it is not suitable for hydrological snake breeding except Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan and Yunnan. Through years of observation and research, he Guochang, the master of raising snakes in China, has found that it is not suitable for hydrological snake farming in Hunan, Jiangxi and Hubei.

4. Snake lovers in the north are not as lucky and casual as southerners. It can be said that the choice of raising snakes is both strong and narrow. This is due to the unique climate, geography and environmental constraints of the north, so venomous snakes (except Agkistrodon halys) can not be raised unless there are very advanced laboratory and breeding conditions. Farmers should not be misled by snake-raising advertisements in some newspapers and individual tabloids illegally printed by individuals, saying that raising poisonous snakes has the advantages of small investment, quick results, easy breeding, risk-free, ten thousand profits, and so on. Just wait for you to jump into their carefully woven "beauty trap". After enriching your own pockets, you will run away, and those who suffer losses are still snake farmers. The north is more suitable for breeding king snake.

5. Farmers in the north should also be cautious when choosing non-venomous snakes. Farmers in the three northeastern provinces cannot breed snakes distributed in Guangdong, Guangxi, Yunnan, Guizhou, Fujian, Sichuan, Hunan, Jiangxi, Zhejiang, Anhui and Taiwan provinces (regions). Because of the great distance and regional differences, snake farmers in other provinces (regions) should also think twice before choosing snake species, and it is best to introduce a small amount of trial breeding first. Do not introduce it in large quantities, so as not to cause undue economic losses and frustrate the enthusiasm and confidence of raising snakes.

6. in fact, it is very simple to master the correct principle of choosing snakes, that is, to first understand the living habits of the snakes, to see whether their food sources can be completely solved, and whether the conditions for spending the summer and overwintering can be met. If all three are indispensable, raising snakes will not be very smooth. Therefore, it is necessary to create the necessary breeding conditions, so that artificial snake breeding will have a guarantee of success.

7. So people who raise snakes for the first time can also succeed and earn the first bucket of gold.

8. To learn the skills of raising snakes, you should also choose a formal snake farm and learn mature techniques.

9. When buying snakes, snake eggs and snake seedlings, you should pay attention to the variety and quality, so as to ensure that your snake provenance is good.

Conclusion: at present, raising snakes seems to make a lot of money, but raising snakes is a job with high technical content. Snakes are too scattered to recover the cost, and it is easy to get sick if raised too closely (especially for fear of pneumonia). Temperature and humidity have to be finely controlled, so don't raise them blindly, first learn the technology carefully, and then choose according to your actual situation. Many farmers use quails, eggs and rooster seedlings hatched by chicken farms as snake feed, and put their products into Hubei, Jiangsu, Shanghai and other markets at a price of 250 yuan per kilogram. In 2013 alone, they sold more than 800 kilograms of artificial feed snakes, with an annual output value of more than 200,000 yuan. Excluding various costs, they made a net profit of more than 120,000 yuan a year. At the same time, although snake venom and medicinal materials are expensive in the market, the benefits of breeding are also considerable. At the same time, venomous snake breeding is also a high-risk and special industry, along with the breeding technology also has high requirements. So, if you want to get rich from poisonous snakes, you really have to do what you can.
