The donkey sales market has reached an unprecedented peak season.

The increasing market demand stimulates huge business opportunities.

Let's analyze the prospect of meat donkey breeding in 2018 with the editor.

Compared with cattle and sheep, why do you choose to raise meat donkeys?

1 raising cattle

Suppose you buy a well-bred Simmental calf from May to June, a calf is about 300kg, 400jin, and the price is about 6000,6500 yuan, plus the cost of quarantine and transportation is about 6500,7,000 yuan. The annual breeding cost of a cow is about 5000, including feed, medicine, labor and so on.

Well-bred Simmental cattle weigh 400 to 500 kilograms, and now the price is about 12 yuan per catty, and a 1300 jin Simmental cow can be sold for 15000 yuan.

So the net profit of a cow is about 3500 yuan.

2 raising sheep

According to the investigation, the price of live sheep in the market is 7.6-8.4 yuan / kg, the average lamb is weaned at 35-45 days, fattening for 80-90 days, the average weight is 50 kg, and the gross profit is 380 yuan.

The annual breeding cost of an ewe is no more than 300 yuan and produces 3 lambs a year. The daily feed input (hay + concentrate) for a lamb is about 0.6 yuan, and the profit for each lamb is 308 yuan.

So the annual profit of an ewe is 3 lambs x 308 yuan-300 yuan cost = 624 yuan.

(3) raising meat donkeys

The purchase price of a meat donkey cub is about 4000 yuan, plus the cost of feed is about 5500 yuan.

Each meat donkey has been farmed for 8 years for 10 months. According to the maximum breeding time of 10 months, the body weight of each donkey has reached 600 kilograms and 700 jin. At present, the fat donkey has a weight of 17 yuan per jin. We sell it at the lowest price of 17 yuan per jin. The price of 600 jin donkey can be sold at 10200 yuan. Minus the cost of raising donkeys, the total investment is 5500 yuan, which is equal to 4700 yuan.

So the net profit of raising a meat donkey is at least 4700 yuan.

Selection of meat donkey varieties

When choosing the breed of meat donkey, we should pay attention to:

1. Be big, how much weight you can gain, and improve the slaughter rate

2. Rapid growth and development, rapid fattening and improving feeding efficiency.

3. Be physically strong, with small and solid hooves and strong disease resistance.

Although there are more than 30 kinds of donkeys in China, when choosing meat donkeys, it is appropriate to choose medium-sized donkeys, followed by large donkeys, and small donkeys are used to make donkeys. Generally speaking, it is the best choice to improve the local donkey with improved breeds and to cultivate the meat donkey with its hybrid offspring.

According to the statistical analysis of market data, the number of meat donkeys in China has increased by 42% compared with the same period three years ago, but at the same time, the market demand is also increasing, and the situation that supply falls short of demand in the meat donkey market has not been improved. Today, donkey prices are still showing an upward trend, and this trend will continue for some time in the future and will not disappear. Therefore, it is not too late to raise meat donkeys.
