How many wild boars can you raise with 30,000 yuan?

With 30,000 yuan you can buy 2 boars and 7 sows. But that is only the cost of introducing breeding stock. There are also the costs of building the farm, feed costs, miscellaneous costs, labor costs, epidemic prevention and disinfection costs, and so on. So if you want to go into wild boar farming, 30,000 yuan is far from enough.

10 head of special wild boar breeding stock: Introduction cost: depending on body weight, purity and quality, the investment required is 20,000-80,000 yuan. Pen housing investment: depending on the stage and the scale of farming, the first phase of construction requires building at least 100 sq m, and the second phase 500-1000 sq m; each sq m requires 200-800 yuan depending on construction requirements, so the first phase of pen housing investment requires 20,000-80,000 yuan, excluding land costs. Feed cost: for normal production of breeding stock, each head requires 1500-2000 yuan per year depending on the level of management, and costs are higher with low management levels. Staff wages are calculated according to the wage level of the same industry in the local area. Epidemic prevention and disinfection cost: each head requires 60-200 yuan per year; other costs are determined according to actual circumstances. Subtotal: the initial investment requires 80,000-150,000 yuan.

Commercial special wild boars: for each head from birth to finishing (90-100 kg), the annual feed cost is about 900-1500 yuan (under poor environmental conditions and low management levels, the feed cost will be higher.)

Benefits: under normal conditions, each special sow produces 2 litters per year, with a total of 10-22 piglets, averaging 15 head finished. The market price of live pigs is 12-20 yuan per jin, and the price of pork sold from self-slaughter is 20-50 yuan per jin; after deducting feed costs, breeding stock costs, pen housing depreciation, staff wages and management costs, etc., the profit per commercial pig is 300-1000 yuan (depending on management level and selling price).

In summary: the first-year investment for 10 head of special wild boars requires 80,000-150,000 yuan, and from the second year the annual benefit is 30,000-100,000 yuan; breeding stock is generally culled in the fourth or fifth year. If normal replacement of new breeding stock can be guaranteed every year, there will be continuous benefits.
