How high are the costs of specialty breeding? Calculate your investment clearly before you start

On the costs of the specialty breeding industry - this topic is nothing new, but for beginners just entering the breeding industry, it is very important. Costs determine profits. This is an indisputable truth.

Now, whether university students or farmers, more and more people are unwilling to accept their current situation, and the urge to start a business is growing stronger. But without understanding market rules and breeding techniques, blindly entering the breeding industry often ends in failure.

Starting a business certainly involves risk, and the most important thing for friends just entering the breeding industry is how to reduce that risk. But from chatting with friends, their urge to start a business often comes from get-rich advertisements on TV, rather than from rational analysis after enriching their own breeding knowledge. You should know that advertising is always a means of promotion, or rather an exaggerated promotional technique, and its credibility is only about 30%. What we should learn is the entrepreneurial spirit of others, not how much money they make. When analyzing, we must combine it with actual conditions, and both breeding techniques and market sales must start from our own actual situation.

A few days ago, a friend came to inquire about ground beetle (Eupolyphaga sinensis) breeding. First, he did not know what a ground beetle is. Second, he did not know where to sell it. He did not even know what it eats. I politely declined his inquiry. I said, first, you can buy a book on breeding techniques and take a look, or learn breeding techniques online, because this kind of knowledge cannot be explained clearly in just a sentence or two. Second, ground beetles certainly cannot be sold at a vegetable market; since it is a traditional Chinese medicine, it must go to a traditional Chinese medicine trading market. So I sincerely hope that friends entering the breeding industry will make themselves into half a breeding expert, so that you will not be led by the nose by those who speculate in breeding stock. Otherwise, you will be cheated and still have to say thank you to them.

Many friends enter the breeding industry, and after a year, once costs are deducted, they end up losing money. One friend introduced 1,000 scorpions, and after adding heating and feed costs, he still ended up paying out of pocket. He never understood why everyone else says it is profitable, but when it comes to him, it is a loss.

To be honest, in the breeding industry, breeding costs account for a very large proportion. Controlling breeding costs means you are halfway to success. I have found that many friends, after entering the breeding industry, always follow behind others and never use their brains to dig out the breeding tricks involved. You should know that those farms that already have scale have not calculated costs down to every jin. Because they already have a certain level of strength. For example, my friend has been breeding ground beetles since 2007, and now his assets have reached one million. But when it comes to hatch rate, he only reaches about 75% or lower. However, he breeds his own breeder insects and does not need to buy seed eggs at all. But for beginners, many can only reach about 60%. Add to that deaths during the breeding process, and it also ends in failure. For this type of breeding industry, it depends on scale. If your breeding scale is small, and the hatch rate is low, the profits will certainly still be unsatisfactory. Those very large farms, even with a low hatch rate, are still profitable.
