Quail breeding cost and profit

Quail is also called quail bird, quail, quail, etc., quail is a migratory bird of pheasant family. Although the breeding time in China is short, it develops rapidly. Due to its characteristics of high laying, fast growth, early maturity, strong reproduction and easy breeding, it has gradually developed into the most economical poultry. Let's take a look at the cost and profit of quail breeding together.

Quail farming costs

1. Fixed investment

① The number of breeding is 60-70 per square meter (calculated by 6 layers), and the area of raising ten thousand quails is 1.5*1.5*30=67.5 square meters (the actual area should be larger than this data).

② It is estimated that ten thousand quails need 30 groups of cages, which is calculated at RMB 250/group and totaling RMB 7500.

2. Investment in aquaculture

① Budget for early stage investment: 0.6 quail seedlings/quail +1.7×0.35 yuan/quail +1.6×0.75 yuan/quail +0.2 yuan for early casualties =2.6 yuan/quail ×10000= 26,000 yuan.

② Investment in laying period: 15 jin of material for each quail in one laying cycle (10-12 months), calculated at 1.36 yuan per catty on average, totaling 20.4 yuan/quail, 0.5 yuan/drug, egg laying cost (20.4+0.5)×10000×91%= 190,000 yuan.

③ Other input costs: coal 1200 yuan + water 200 yuan + electricity 300 yuan + labor cost 2000 yuan =0.37 million yuan.

Quail farming profits

1. Quail has strong disease resistance and less feed consumption. The average egg weight at the age of 40 days is 12~3 grams, the ratio of feed to egg is 2.5:1 to 2.7:1, the weight of adult quail is about 150 grams, the average egg laying rate is 85~90%, the feed cost is low, the area is small, the effect is quick, the management is good, and the feeding is good.

2, adult quail each consumption of 4 money, feeding efficiency is high, in the cage conditions, every 3 square meters can raise about 400 (calculated by 6 layers of cage), raise 1000 quails, 40 days of age lay eggs, the average daily egg production of about 20 jin, 850~900 a day, daily profit of about 25 yuan, feces can be sold after paying workers wages, 1 person can manage about 10,000.

Quail breeding advantages

1. Less investment: breeding quail covers a small area, and it can be used in front of and behind the house. Even large-scale quail farms occupy much less land and houses than other poultry farms. Due to the adoption of multi-storey cage equipment in the house and the large breeding density, the construction, facilities and capital investment are much lower than other poultry. The demand for labor is not very high, and heavy physical labor is not required. In addition, the adaptability and disease resistance of domestic quail are strong, and the drug expenditure for epidemic prevention is also very small.

2, more output: regardless of egg type or meat type quail, 40 to 50 days to mature, start producing products. The meat type can reach 220 grams at 42 days old, consuming only 700 grams of feed, and the egg type can lay about 270 eggs a year, with a total weight of 3000 grams, which is 20 times its body weight.

3. Fast capital turnover: Due to the short breeding cycle of quail and the small capital investment, each of them does not account for more than 1.6 yuan of working capital, so compared with other poultry, the capital turnover is much faster.

4, the risk is small: because breeding quail has the above three advantages, so it is not easy to cause economic losses when operating, and there is no need to bear too much risk.

Therefore, quail is a breeding project with small investment scale, high output value, fast capital turnover and high economic benefit.
