Can raising chickens in rural areas make money?

Raising chickens in rural areas is quite profitable.

Based on a chicken, it needs to invest in the cost of chicken house, chicken equipment, seedlings, feed and so on. If you raise 2.5 kg for sale, you can make a profit of 7 to 14 yuan, and raise 1000 chickens, so the profit is about 7,000 to14,000 yuan.

1, covering an area

If there are 50 chickens per mu of land, 1 000 chickens need to use 20 mu of land, and the rent per mu is 1 000 yuan per year, then the land use needs to be invested 2000 yuan per year.

2, the cost of building a henhouse

There can be 5 to 10 chickens per square meter, and it takes more than 100 square meters to raise 100 chickens. Building a chicken coop requires cement, bricks, sand, simple doors and windows, roof beams and other materials. Calculated, the cost per square meter of henhouse is around 50 yuan, and it needs to invest 1000 chickens to build a henhouse.

3. Cost of local chickens and seedlings

The price of a chicken seedling is about two yuan, and the survival rate of chicken seedlings is usually 98%. If you need to buy 1080 chickens, then the investment of 1000 chickens needs more than 2,000 yuan.

4. Feed and vaccine costs

Every chicken needs to supplement some chicken feed every morning and evening. If a chicken supplements one kilogram of feed every day, then 1000 chickens need 1000 kilograms of chicken feed every day, and the investment in chicken feed every day is about 1200 yuan.

If the weight of each rooster is 2.5 kg and the market price is 9 yuan per kg, then the cost of a rooster is 23.5 yuan. After deducting the above costs, each rooster can make more profits than 7 yuan. The profit per hen is about 14 yuan. What are the costs and profits of raising 1000 cocks? Each rooster can earn more than 7 yuan, and the profit of raising 1000 roosters is more than 7,000 yuan.

Chicken raising skills:

1, a clever way to block the mouse hole

There are often mouse holes in some corners of chicken houses or warehouses. The solution is to pour 100g potassium permanganate into the rat hole, then add 200 ml formaldehyde, and then seal the hole with cement. There will never be mice in this mouse hole.

2, bean cake anti-corrosion measures

Buy fresh bean cakes, spray hundreds of poisonous sand on both sides first, then put them in the yard for two days, and then put them in the warehouse, and they will not grow hair in 2-3 weeks.

3, powder particle size should be appropriate

Chicken feed can be pulverized with a diameter of 2 mm, big chicken can be pulverized with a diameter of 4.5-5 mm, chicken digestive tract is short, and feed utilization rate is low, generally at 65%. Chickens that are too fine don't like to eat, and the utilization rate of roughage is low. Just right is cost-effective in the long run.
