What are the prospects for raising ostriches?

The ostrich is covered with treasures, and its feathers, skins, meat and eggs all have very high economic value. There are still many profitable projects, and the economic value is also relatively high. In addition, there are relatively few ostrich farmers in our country at present. The prospect of the market is relatively large. Ostrich has strong adaptability and low cost, so it is a new breeding industry.

Second, the cost of raising ostriches

1. Feed: each ostrich needs 300 kilograms of refined feed a year, which costs 600 yuan according to 2 yuan per kilogram. Green forage is mainly composed of immature corn stems and leaves, sweet sorghum and so on. Each ostrich needs about 300 yuan a year, and the total feed investment is 900 yuan.

2. Other: depreciation fees for amortization of various infrastructure (water, electricity, venues, fences, equipment, etc.) 100 yuan per year, feed additives 100 yuan per piece, epidemic prevention, disinfection and unforeseen expenses 200 yuan each.

3, total: buy a small ostrich for 300yuan, 900yuan + 100yuan + 100yuan + 200yuan + 300yuan = 1900 yuan, raising an ostrich requires an investment of 1600 yuan a year.

Third, profits from raising ostriches

1. Ostrich meat: the young birds can reach more than 100kg in 10 months, and the ostrich meat is between 70,80yuan per kilogram. If the meat yield is calculated according to 45%, each ostrich can produce 36 kilograms of ostrich meat, with an output value of about 3150 yuan.

2. Ostrich eggs: an ostrich can lay 50 eggs and 60 eggs a year. The price of an ostrich egg is generally more than 40 yuan, and the output value is 2500 yuan.

3. Ostrich skin: the price of each ostrich skin varies according to the grade, between 800 and 1500 yuan, and the output value is calculated according to 1000 yuan.

4. Total profit: the annual income of raising an ostrich is 3150 yuan + 2500 yuan + 1000 yuan = 6650 yuan, and the profit is 6650 yuan-1600 yuan = 5050 yuan.

Fourth, what kind of certificate should be applied for to raise ostriches?

To raise ostriches, you need to go to the forestry department to obtain a "license for domestication and breeding of Wild Animals" and a "license for Wild Animals Management." without these two documents, their sales and transportation are illegal, and once caught, they will be confiscated, fined or even sentenced. Moreover, farmers who sell special animals must have a "certificate of animal epidemic prevention" issued by the animal husbandry department, otherwise they will violate the laws and regulations, the products cannot be planted, and there will be problems in production and sales in the future.
