Is bamboo rat breeding a way to get rich or a pit of fraud?

For the current popular bamboo rat breeding, some accept and start breeding, some wait and see, and some have been deceived and said to be fraudulent.

Without mentioning anything else for the time being, let's start with the history of eating bamboo rat meat. In the Zhou Dynasty, bamboo rat meat was regarded as first-class meat, and the "Public Food Doctor" recorded that only the public secretary who could eat bamboo rat meat had more than three tripods. In the Tang Dynasty, "the golden load of the government and the opposition": Lingnan stirred up the people, so as to be Qing Zi rats. People in Lingnan area of Guangdong like to eat bamboo rat meat, and now Guangdong has always retained this preference. The history of the Qing Dynasty recorded: "Rat preserved food is also good, moxibustion is preserved, in order to act as a guest, there is no such thing in the feast, there is no salute." Chinese archaeologists unearthed many cans of rat jerky in the Mawangdui tomb of the Han Dynasty, indicating that bamboo rat meat had become a favorite delicacy of the imperial class at that time. Both Lingnan and Mawangdui belong to the south, and now bamboo rats are popular in Hunan, Guangdong and other places, which may be a kind of inheritance. The bamboo rat in Gongcheng, Guilin, Guangxi has successfully obtained the geographical indication of national agricultural products. Geographical indication product is a special commodity recognized by the state, which has distinct regional characteristics.

From a medicinal point of view, Li Shizhen's Compendium of Materia Medica in the Ming Dynasty recorded: "Bamboo rat meat is sweet, flat, non-toxic, tonifying qi, detoxification"; "Bamboo rat is as big as a rabbit, meat taste sweet, flat, non-toxic. People eat more ";" Bamboo Mouse has special effects such as regulating menstruation, protecting hair, tonifying blood, tonifying qi, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, detumescence and poison ". According to "Guangxi Medicinal Animals" introduction: "the bamboo rat teeth with frying, grinding into powder, each time take 0.3-0.6 grams, boiled water to serve, can treat infantile tetanus." According to the Chronicles of Chinese Medicinal Animals: "Bamboo mouse oil can prevent mosquito bites, treat burns, scalds, nameless swelling and poison, cosmetology, etc.; bamboo rat blood has a unique effect in the treatment of asthma, and bile drops treat deafness."

Therefore, no matter from the point of view of food or medicine, bamboo rats have available value, so bamboo rat culture is the way to get rich.

So why do some people say that bamboo rat farming is cheating and fraud? One of the reasons is: bamboo rat culture only began to rise in the 1990s, before eating wild bamboo rats, artificially cultured bamboo rats are relatively few people know; the second reason is information asymmetry. After the bamboo rat breeding project was reported by the media, many people did not actually understand the situation, did not seriously learn the breeding technology, and invested blindly, which ended in failure. Investment is risky, so you need to be careful when you enter the industry. The third reason is: frying seeds. Of course, it is also the use of information asymmetry, under the premise that potential farmers do not understand the situation, exaggerate the profits of bamboo rats, stir-fry the price of bamboo mice seedlings, and other commercial bamboo rats can not sell the expected price when they can go out of the fence, resulting in the investment of buying seedlings is greater than the output of selling bamboo rats, resulting in a loss. The fourth reason is: the scale of breeding is small, but also want to make a big profit in the short term. Many farmers who clear the farm are about dozens of farmers, and they all give up all their work and devote themselves wholeheartedly to raising dozens of bamboo rats. Bamboo rat breeding requires a process, and if there is no technology, it will be even more difficult, coupled with giving up work and without a source of income. It is conceivable that if one or two die, it is extremely distressing, there is no way, dozens of them can not get rich after all. Let's clear the house and find a new job. And then tell everyone that raising bamboo rats doesn't make money.

Bamboo rat breeding can get rich, but before breeding bamboo rats, we need to have a full understanding of bamboo rat breeding, sales and profits, and make a good plan, so that bamboo rat culture can get rich smoothly.
