How promising is peacock farming? A comprehensive analysis

Peacocks are ornamental animals that people generally love. Ten years ago, shrewd people in economically developed areas began raising peacocks on a large scale, selling them to hotels and restaurants and launching the "peacock banquet," which was deeply welcomed and praised by a wide range of diners. In addition, peacocks are auspicious birds that people generally love, with high value for both eating and viewing, and broad market prospects.

The prospects of peacock farming

In recent years, China's peacock farming industry has begun to show its edge, and the production and sales markets are exceptionally booming. But why is peacock farming so booming? In fact, it is not hard to analyze: the reason is that the peacock, king of the hundred birds, has the characteristics of a strong game flavor, high protein, low fat, and rich content of various amino acids needed by the human body. It is a high-end delicacy and a meat poultry species with great development prospects. In terms of farming, because of its low investment, quick returns, and high profits, it has become one of the preferred farming species for farmers.

Peacock farming model one

Introduce 500 peacock chicks at one time, calculated at 80 yuan each (each weighing more than 500 grams), requiring 40,000 yuan for the purchase of breeding stock. After artificial rearing for 5 to 7 months, the body weight reaches more than 3,500 grams, requiring about 30 jin of feed valued at 30 yuan. At a market buyback wholesale price of 30 yuan per jin, the total income can reach more than 100,000 yuan.

Peacock farming model two

Introduce 3 groups of three-year-old egg-laying peacocks at one time (two males and eight females as one group), calculated at 1,200 yuan each, requiring 36,000 yuan for the purchase of breeding stock. Each high-quality breeding bird can lay 25 to 60 eggs per year. Assuming each female bird lays 30 eggs per year, the total egg production of three groups of peacocks can reach 720 eggs. Calculated at an 85% survival rate, 612 young peacocks can still be obtained, and after raising them for 6 months and selling them, the income can reach more than 120,000 yuan. Moreover, after introducing large breeding birds, they can continue to be used for breeding for more than 13 years, laying eggs year after year and earning more than 100,000 yuan year after year. After the male breeding peacocks grow old, they can also be made into specimens for sale. The meat-to-feed ratio for artificially raised commercial peacocks is 1:4. If some green grass and green vegetables are added to the daily feeding, the feed used will be even lower than this.

Summary: Farming peacocks is quite good. First, peacocks have not been farmed in China for too long; second, peacocks not only can be used, but their ornamental value is higher, and they can be sold to zoos and flower-and-bird markets. They can also be made into specimens and sold, which is even more valuable.
