There are many rural wealth-building projects, and raising pigeons is a very good way to go. So is raising pigeons actually profitable right now? Are those who say they made money raising pigeons telling the truth? Qinong Network will introduce some of the situation from the following aspects so you can judge for yourself.

1. Is raising pigeons profitable?

Many people question whether raising pigeons is profitable. Every time they see anyone say they made money, they think the person is lying, and when they see someone lose money, they think it is real. This is still everyone's resentment-of-the-rich mentality at work. The number of pigeons being raised has already doubled compared with a few years ago. If raising pigeons were not profitable, would the number being raised surge like this? Pigeon raising requires little upfront investment and brings quick returns, and current market demand is rising steadily. How could it not be profitable?

2. Market prospects

Just a few years ago, pigeon was still considered food for wealthy families. In recent years, because the number of people raising pigeons has surged, it has gradually become popular among the general public. Pigeon meat itself is highly nutritious and has a very good effect on nourishing the body. The meat pigeons that appear on the market are basically all sell well. In addition, our country's pigeons have also begun to sell well overseas, and a new large market is gradually taking shape. As for the current consumption situation, the average amount consumed by major cities in our country has reached the terrifying level of one million per year. Add to that the fact that people have recently been exploring the medicinal value of pigeons, and you can imagine how good the prospects are.

3. Economic profit

At present, pigeon farming starts at several hundred pairs no matter what, so let us take 500 pairs of breeding pigeons as an example. Breeding pigeon chicks are priced at 40 per pair, so 500 pairs require a total pigeon stock cost of 20,000 yuan. Next, 125 cages are needed, at 200 yuan each, totaling 25,000. Pigeons need about 30KG of feed per year, sold at 1.5 per jin, so the annual feed cost is about 22,500 yuan. Other expenses are 1,000 yuan. Each pair of breeding pigeons produces about 2 squabs per month, and each sells for 15 yuan. After deducting some losses from accidents and periods when production is impossible, the total profit is about 150,000, meaning the net profit is 150,000 - 20,000 - 25,000 - 22,500 - 1,000 = 86,500 yuan.

In summary, raising pigeons still has great prospects, and everyone no longer needs to doubt that raising pigeons is unprofitable. I hope that when raising them, everyone will make decisions based on their own actual situation and local conditions. For more exciting content, please follow Qinong Network!
