How much can you earn raising 100 pigs? Profit analysis
Pig farming, like other agricultural production, has a relatively long cycle. Individual pig farming has little competitiveness but high costs; raising 30 to 50 pigs brings little profit and high risk. Currently, 90% of the pork on the market is produced by large-scale pig farms. If you want to raise pigs, it is best to plan the scale, input and output, maximum risk loss, and maximum profit range before investing. Let's take a look below at how much you can earn raising 100 pigs!
How much can you earn raising 100 pigs by breeding and raising them yourself?
1. Sow cost: Calculated at 5 jin of feed per head per day, the feed used for sows is cheap, 365 days a year * 5 * 0.9 yuan/jin = 1642 yuan, plus about 100 yuan for epidemic prevention or other expenses, counted at most as 2000 yuan. Theoretically, one sow produces 2.45 litters a year. Here it is calculated as 2 litters, with an average of 10 piglets per litter, calculated as 8, so the cost of one piglet is 2000 yuan (annual cost of the sow) / 16 = 125 yuan/head.
2. Feed cost: Before piglets reach 30 jin, they generally eat suckling pig feed (pelleted feed). The feed is calculated at 2 yuan per jin, and before 30 jin they are basically still in the nursing period. It is almost one jin of feed for one jin of gain; calculated at 1.2 jin of feed per jin of gain, the cost for a piglet to reach 30 jin is 30 * 1.2 * 2 = 72 yuan, counted as 80 yuan. From 30 jin to 200 jin, fattening pigs eat compound feed. Theoretically, the average feed-to-meat ratio is 3:1, meaning from 30 jin to 200 jin (200-30=170) requires 510 jin of feed; even at a poor pig farm, 600 jin of feed is enough to reach 200 jin. Feed is calculated at 1.1 yuan per jin (feed concentrate 2.5 yuan * 20% = 0.6 + corn 0.7 yuan/jin * 80% = 0.56 yuan, actually only 1.06 yuan). Eating 600 jin of feed costs 660 yuan, which means raising one pig from birth to 200 jin uses 660 + 80 = 740 yuan.
3. Profit analysis: 125 yuan (cost of the sow producing the piglet) + 740 yuan = 865 yuan. At a market price of 7 yuan per jin, the profit is 7 yuan * 200 jin = 1400 yuan - cost 865 yuan = 535 yuan/head. Raising 100 pigs can earn 53500 yuan.
How much can you earn fattening 100 piglets?
1. Piglet cost: Calculated for purchased piglets at 50 jin (piglets of this size are priced about the same as adult pigs, calculated at 8 yuan per jin), 50 * 8 yuan = 400 yuan cost. Actually, piglets of around 10 jin are the most expensive, possibly around 12 yuan, but that is only 120 yuan per head, and the cost of feeding them to 50 jin is even lower.
2. Feed cost: From 50 to 200 jin for slaughter, at most 550 jin of feed is used, which is 550 * 1.1 yuan/jin = 605 yuan cost.
3. Profit analysis: The total cost is 350 + 605 yuan = 955 yuan, and the profit is 1400 yuan from selling a 200 jin finished pig - 955 yuan = 445 yuan. Raising 100 pigs can earn 44500 yuan. Although the profit is a bit less than breeding and raising them yourself, this way they can certainly be sent to slaughter in 4 months. Because the purchased piglets are 50 jin, one more batch of pigs can be raised each year.
Factors affecting the economic benefits of pig farming
1. Management: First is the management of people, and second is the feeding management of the pigs. A well-managed pig farm can save feed, avoid feed waste, and maximize the conversion of feed input into pig weight gain. It also results in fewer pig diseases, which can save on vaccine purchase costs as well as routine preventive medication costs and treatment medication costs.
2. Feed: Feed is the foundation of pig farming and the key factor in the success or failure of pig farming. Under normal circumstances, feed costs account for 70% to 80% of pig farming costs, so how to reasonably select, utilize, and develop feed, improve the feed conversion rate, and reduce the feed consumption rate plays a decisive role in improving the economic benefits of pig farming.
3. Breed: Breed is the primary condition for improving the economic benefits of pig farming. The quality of the breed directly determines the pigs' production performance, feed consumption, feeding cycle, and feed-to-meat ratio. Numerous experiments show that raising excellent hybrid pigs can increase weaned piglets per sow per litter by 1 to 2, increase weight gain by 10% to 30%, and improve feed utilization by 10% to 15%.
4. Epidemic prevention: Once an epidemic breaks out on a pig farm, it will certainly cause major economic losses, even catastrophic disaster. Looking at existing pig farms, the problem of weak awareness of epidemic prevention is widespread. Epidemic prevention work is still blind, arbitrary, and based on luck. Many farms have constant pig herd diseases throughout the year, rising one after another, recurring again and again, with heavy losses and profound lessons.
