The breeding cost of mallard duck

Mallard duck is a kind of meat duck which is popular in recent years. Moreover, mallard eggs also have a very large market demand in China. With the expansion of market demand, the annual production of green-headed laying duck is unable to meet its market. Therefore, more and more people are interested in breeding mallard ducks on a large scale. But how much does raising mallard cost? Let's take a look at the breeding cost of mallard duck together with Xiaobian!

I. Cost of farming

The mallard is a typical waterfowl, although it can be farmed without water when commercial mallards are bred. But its quality will certainly be lower than that of aquaculture mallard duck. Therefore, when we estimate the cost of breeding mallard ducks, we should take the example of close to water source and breeding about 1000 ducks.

1. Site costs

We first need to build duck houses near natural water sources. Therefore, the first thing to invest is the duck house, enclosure walls and feed houses and other construction costs. If the calculation is based on medium materials and 1000 breeding scale, the investment is generally about 200 million yuan.

2. Cost of breeding equipment

Then we have to start calculating the cost of farming equipment. Mallard feeding habits are more miscellaneous, but the main feed or forage-based, and in feeding forage generally need to use feed grinder. Then add incubators, transportation vehicles, etc., roughly calculate the investment needs about 10000 yuan.

3. Cost of seedlings

If it is the first time to breed, then we need to purchase ducklings when breeding mallard ducks. Therefore, the cost of ducklings should also be calculated. Now on the market, a high-quality ducklings are about 3 yuan/one. If you raise 1000, then the cost of ducklings needs to invest about 3000 yuan.

4. Daily investment

Feed must be indispensable when raising mallard ducks. However, the mallard's tolerance to coarse feeding is still relatively strong, and some chaff, cereals, animal-type feeds, etc. can be properly fed. Therefore, the input of feed is generally not very large, about 8000 yuan. However, in the breeding process, we still need to invest in vaccines, light and other daily expenses. If calculated according to the two-month production cycle, the daily cost of each duck averages 2 yuan/duck. Therefore, if the feed cost is included, the daily input of 1000 mallard ducks is about 1200 yuan. The total cost of breeding investment will need about 45000 yuan.

II. Breeding profits

Under normal circumstances, the mallard can generally weigh about 1.3kg after being raised for about two months. This period is the best time for mallard to be released, so the number of breeding batches of mallard ducks can reach about 4 times in a year. So if you add up the four times, that's 4000. Then, the meat yield of each duck is 1kg, and the price of duck meat per kg is 20 yuan. The gross income of that year can reach 80,000 yuan, and if the cost of raising is excluded, there will be a profit of nearly 40,000 yuan that year.

The above is a brief introduction to the cost of mallard breeding. Today's introduction is here, this article is for reference only, I hope to help everyone oh!
