What are the advantages of porcupine breeding? Why should we breed porcupines?

Ten advantages of porcupine breeding

1. Strong disease resistance. Porcupines can survive in temperatures ranging from minus 10 degrees to 45 degrees. Keep the pens clean and ventilated to prevent them from getting sick.

2. The potential for market stability is great. The prices of high-end hotels in large and medium-sized cities are now high. Due to the low porcupine production and slow development, it will not be able to meet the market demand in three to five years. When the number of the country increases, the price of commercial porcupines will be at At about 40 yuan per pound, there is room for profit. If the price of porcupine meat is lowered, it can enter supermarkets and ordinary hotels so that the public can afford it, and relevant parts of porcupine can enter the pharmaceutical market, the market prospects will be broader.

3. Low feeding cost. The annual feeding cost of each porcupine is 220 yuan. The feed is mainly produced by farmers, mainly including sweet potatoes, corn, pumpkins, soybeans, radishes and a variety of vegetables and wild grasses. The feed is simple and abundant. Real and wide source.

4. Low labor input. Each person can raise 400-500 head per year.

5. The difficulty of breeding technology is low. Nowadays, many people go out to work in rural areas, and the people left behind at home are mainly young and old. High-tech industries are difficult to master, but feeding 10-20 porcupines is a piece of cake. If large-scale breeding is required, the technical difficulty is not great. 6. Less capital investment in the later stage. After breeding porcupines, only feed investment is required.

7. Breeding pigs can benefit in the long term after investment. Porcupine pigs can be up to 12 years old, and the peak period of farrowing is 6-8 years.

8. The return on investment is high. The net profit of each commercial porcupine is more than 1,000 yuan. Each female porcupine gives birth to 2-4 porcupines every year. The principal can be repaid in the second year, and the profits will start in the third year. It is greater than the principal and has increased year by year.

9. The breeding site requirements are not large. Each animal only needs 1.2 square meters of pens. To raise ten animals, it only requires 12 square meters. It only requires a simple bungalow, and the investment in pens is not large.

10. The prospects are good and the risks are small. If some people who are brave, knowledgeable, have the site and a certain amount of funds invest steadily in advance and open up a broad sales market, there will be no risk.

Porcupine breeding practice has found that under artificial breeding conditions, porcupines have the characteristics of fast growth, strong disease resistance, tolerance to rough feeding, and wide adaptability. Because they are green foods, they have good market prospects and very economic benefits. considerable. Moreover, artificial breeding of porcupines can not only effectively protect the survival, reproduction and ecological balance of wild animals, but also bring greater economic benefits to farmers, and at the same time, it can also meet the needs of people's increasing living standards.

In summary, the development of the porcupine industry as a new local economic growth point is a good project worthy of strong support from governments and functional departments at all levels.
