Partridge farming can make a lot of money

Partridge is a rare wild bird for ornamental, edible and medicinal purposes, belonging to the order Chicken, pheasant family and quail genus. Partridge meat is a good nourishment, containing 18 essential amino acids and 64% unsaturated fatty acids, with the nutritional characteristics of high protein, low fat and low cholesterol. Partridges are popular in China's markets in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Hong Kong and Japan. The saying that "one partridge tops ten pigeons, but some partridges do not eat pigeons" is very popular in Hong Kong. The price of each partridge is still in short supply. It is predicted that Hong Kong will buy hundreds of millions of partridges from the mainland every year. In Japan, the market price of a partridge is 6000 yen. Under good feeding and management conditions, 50 groups (1 male and 3 female in each group) can be raised by a labor force, and about 10, 000 commercial partridges are produced each year, with an average cost of 3-5 yuan, a price of 10-15 yuan, an annual output value of 100000-150000 yuan, and a profit of 60, 000-110000 yuan. Because the partridge has strong disease resistance and low breeding risk, the benefit is 5 to 10 times that of the traditional aquaculture, and the economic benefit is extremely remarkable.

At present, the partridge sales market has entered the late stage of seed sales and seed frying, and has not entered the stage of commodity sales like meat pigeons. As partridges are imported varieties, it is difficult for domestic consumers to recognize them, and their body structure is similar to that of meat pigeons, so they must compete with meat pigeons for market share. Therefore, how the partridge market is specific in the future must depend on the efforts of the breeding units themselves. Only by strengthening the publicity of partridges, strengthening breeding management and technological innovation, reducing the cost of breeding, and stepping into commodity sales, can partridge breeding enterprises have a broad space for survival and development.
