How much does it cost to raise loach in one mu of pond?

How much exactly does it cost to farm loach in one mu of pond, and how much money can you make?

The main inputs for loach farming are fry and feed.

Beginners usually choose inch fry (loach fry of 3-5 cm size). At present, farming inch fry loach in one mu of pond requires an investment of about 3500 yuan.

For feed, floating fish feed with a protein content above 36% is mainly chosen. According to the current farming level, the feed cost of producing one jin of loach is 4.8 yuan. The yield per mu of loach is generally above 2000 jin, so the feed cost needs 9600 yuan.

For other expenses, routine preventive disinfection and water conditioning supplies for farming cost about 500 yuan, and other water and electricity maintenance costs about 500 yuan.

The total cost investment is about 14100 yuan.

With a yield of 2000 jin of loach per mu, calculated at the current average wholesale market price of 11 yuan, the income can be 22000 yuan.

After deducting the total farming cost, one mu of loach can earn 7900 yuan. The farming cycle of inch fry loach is about 100 days. In most parts of the country, two seasons can be farmed in one year.

As farmers' farming techniques continue to improve, more and more people are now breeding their own fry or buying water flower fry to farm. Farming loach with water flower fry requires less investment, with about 1200 yuan invested in fry per mu, and the farming benefit is higher.
