What are the annual cost and profit of raising 10 pairs of pigeons, and what are the breeding techniques and methods?

Compared with poultry such as chickens, ducks and geese, the pigeon breeding market still has a lot of room for competition, with meat pigeons being the main type. Pigeon meat has the characteristics of high protein and low fat, and the market has been strong in recent years. So what are the annual cost and profit of raising 10 pairs of pigeons? What are the methods and techniques for raising pigeons?

1. What are the annual cost and profit of raising 10 pairs of pigeons?

1. Cost of raising pigeons

After careful calculation, the cost of raising pigeons mainly includes the following aspects:

(1) Stock introduction: introducing 10 pairs of meat pigeons costs about 200 yuan.

(2) Feeding: the food, medicine, health care and breeding facilities for pigeons add up to about 130 yuan per pair per year, so for 10 pairs of meat pigeons it is around 1,300 yuan.

Therefore, raising 10 pairs of pigeons requires a cost of at least about 1,500 yuan.

2. Profit from raising pigeons

If meat pigeons are raised, then what is generally sold is squabs. The current market price is about 15 yuan each, and calculating on the basis of each pair of pigeons producing 20 squabs per year, the profit from 10 pairs of pigeons is 20*15*10-1500=1,500 yuan.

Although the profit from raising pigeons is high, it is also dirty, hard and tiring work. And there are also certain risks.

2. What are the methods and techniques for raising pigeons?

1. Choose high-quality pigeon breeds

For example, American King, Silver King pigeon, White King pigeon, Red Carneau pigeon, etc. All are pigeon breeds with relatively high annual output and fairly good market prices. Of course, the breeds chosen must also meet local market demand.

2. Do a good job in breeding and pairing

In pairing pigeons, the principle of "one husband, one wife" must be strictly implemented, and pairing should be done according to the temperament of the pigeons. When they get along well, egg production and chick production are better.

In addition, production records should be kept for each pigeon, including the number of chicks, number of eggs and growth rate, and poor breeding pigeons should be culled promptly.

3. Incubation preparation

Pigeon incubation includes natural incubation and artificial incubation. Note that "egg candling" should be done once every 5 days to observe whether there are infertile eggs, dead sperm eggs, dead embryo eggs, etc., and remove them in time.

During the incubation process, the pigeon farm should be disinfected, droppings should be cleaned up in time, and heat preservation or cooling work should be done well according to weather conditions.

4. Disease prevention and control

The thing most feared in raising pigeons is disease, because it is highly contagious. Once a sick pigeon is found, it must be isolated immediately and treated according to the symptoms.

Therefore, pigeons should be vaccinated in time, mainly including: pigeon Newcastle disease vaccine, pigeon pox vaccine, etc. Of course, both inside and outside the pigeon house must be disinfected regularly, and the same disinfectant should not always be chosen.
