The annual income of bamboo rat breeding is more than 2 million.

Bamboo mouse, also known as bamboo mouse or Mangdong mouse, gets its name because it likes to eat bamboo. This kind of bamboo rat is small and has strong fecundity. it takes bamboo, sweet potatoes and weeds as its staple food and likes to eat corn, sorghum, wheat, sugar cane and so on. Bamboo rats are rich in nutrients, including protein, amino acids, iron, calcium, phosphorus and other vitamins. It is much more nutritious than chicken, duck, fish, shrimp and crab. It is a kind of Shanzhen game with high nutritional value, which is in short supply in hotels, restaurants and other general restaurants. Some people may ask, can raising bamboo rats make money?

Next, I will carefully calculate the economic account for you. How much does it cost to raise a bamboo mouse from childhood to maturity? The answer is that a bamboo rat that costs 8 cents a day for six months costs about 14.4 yuan. The cost of 8 cents a day includes the main food of bamboo rats, bamboo and corn grains. Of course, as bamboo is more common in rural areas, it can be picked on its own mountain, so it is not included in the cost. The bamboo mouse needs to be given about 15 grams of corn grains every day, which is calculated to be about 6 cents a day, and the other 2 cents are used as wear and tear, such as illness and death.

It can be sold after breeding for six months. A group of three mice, one male and two female, cost 43.2 yuan. The market price is 500 to 600 yuan. Let's call it 500 yuan. In this way, two crops can be raised in a year, and the price of the two groups is as low as 1000 yuan. If a couple takes care of 100 groups of bamboo rats easily a year, they will have 100000 yuan a year. If we even if our own breeding technology is not enough, 50 die every year, one is 200, so we need to get rid of 10,000 yuan, but the net profit is still 90,000 yuan, and it is very simple to take care of bamboo rats.

It only takes about four hours a day, 90,000 yuan a year, what could be more comfortable to make money than this? For example, a group of Chongqing husband and wife bamboo rat farmers on the webcast platform not long ago found in an interview that he and his wife began to go home in 2010 to raise bamboo rats, and after several years of struggle, the annual output value has now reached 2 million yuan. At the beginning, it was not so smooth. In the first year, because they did not know how to breed, and because they did not accept the soil and water, more than 200 pairs of bamboo rats died, resulting in a loss of nearly 200000 yuan.

Only after consulting the experts did he know that the problem was the environment. By 2013, he had expanded the bamboo rat farm to 90 mu of land, and added more original bamboo and royal bamboo grass to the breeding. As a result, the survival rate of bamboo rats has been improved in a large area, and the survival rate can reach 90%. He applied for a national patent after summarizing his breeding experience in 2015. He believes that by creating a wild environment, bamboo rats can not only maintain their wildness, but also increase their resistance, increasing the amount of activity, and making the meat taste more delicious.

Over the past five years, the couple have invested more than 5 million yuan one after another. when asked how the market is going, he replied: according to the current market situation, a bamboo mouse can be sold for about 70 yuan per catty, in addition to being sold in Guangdong areas. there are also sales in local hotels and farm music. And through the network live broadcast form, let more netizens know the cute appearance of the bamboo mouse, expand a lot of popularity. Today, bamboo rat meat has become a very high-end delicacy.
