What are the risks of raising sheep?

Raising sheep is a very common breeding project in rural areas of our country. Sheep farming is also the main development direction of China's breeding industry, the nutritional value of mutton is very rich, and it is also a kind of meat second only to pork and beef in our country. So there are more and more people raising sheep, but raising sheep also has certain risks. So what are the specific risks? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Culture scale

The scale of raising sheep is the first risk in raising sheep, which is mainly kept in free-range in many places. If the scale of breeding is too small, the competitive pressure is very insufficient. Basically can not seize those formed scale breeding base, the sales channel will be greatly affected. Therefore, the benefit of aquaculture can not be guaranteed and is very unstable, so if the scale of aquaculture is small, then there may be a loss.

2. Insufficient funds

Most of the reasons for the small scale of farming are also due to the problem of funds. For most bulk farmers, economic capacity is the main factor hindering large-scale farming. And in raising sheep, diseases and natural disasters will inevitably affect the growth of sheep. If there is a shortage of funds, it will be difficult to deal with these emergencies. And if you want to improve the efficiency of breeding, then it is necessary to expand the scale of breeding, which involves funds, so this is also the main risk of raising sheep.

3. Market quotation

In recent years, the mutton market is very unstable, price ups and downs, resulting in many sheep farmers have lost the confidence of raising sheep. At the same time, this is also the problem that we need to pay attention to in raising sheep. With people's life getting better and better, the area of raising sheep is also getting larger and larger, resulting in greater market competitiveness, prices are constantly depressed. Sometimes no matter how high your output is, there is only such a certain benefit, which is not considered the risk of regulation.

4. Too ideal

With the further development of social economy, the first problem that sheep farmers should consider now is to improve their own ability. To master a mature breeding technology, combined with theory and time, be good at observing the trend of mutton market. Instead of blindly thinking that as long as they dare to raise it, they can get benefits. If you are too idealized, you will only lose all your money in the end. Therefore, we must be fully prepared before breeding, not too ideal blind breeding.

5. Breeding cost

Nowadays, people have higher and higher requirements for food, so the cost of raising sheep is getting higher and higher. If you want to reduce the cost of breeding, then the quality of mutton will be affected, the fat gain will be hindered, and the meat yield will be reduced. There is no competitiveness in the market, and if you feed it better, the cost of breeding will rise in a straight line, and the benefit of breeding will naturally decline. Therefore, how to reduce the cost of raising sheep is the most important problem for sheep farmers at present, and it is also a major risk for raising sheep.

The above is a brief introduction to the risks of raising sheep. Raising sheep is not as simple as imagined. Although the prospect of raising sheep is good, the risk should not be underestimated, so we must make a risk assessment before breeding to see if we have the ability to take risks before making a decision. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
