Can ostrich make money

Introduction: in the 1990s, the wave of ostrich craze sweeping our country is higher than the wave Can ostrich make money? Is there a future? Can the economy take off? 1、 What are ostriches? In ancient times, when Bushmen in Africa approached ostrich hunting with ostrich masks, this bird, which has not been extinct in evolution and is the largest in size, has lost its flight ability, but has a running speed of 60 kilometers per hour, with a span of 6-8 meters In the hot Kalahari desert, it competes with human beings for watermelon and melon From the taxonomic point of view, African ostriches belong to ostrich class, platyphora, Ostracoda, ostrichidae, which is the only existing animal in ostrich species The female's feathers are gray, with a weight of 130-150kg; the male's feathers are black, with a weight of 150-200kg, a height of 2-3m, two toes of feet, a small head, one third of the eyes, and a field of vision of 300 degrees The beak is flat, the wings are gorgeous, and the legs are developed There is no crop and a forestomach The egg weight is about 1500 g, the maximum is more than 2000 g, and the incubation period is 42 days The ostrich has only been raised for more than 100 years Meat and eggs are edible, leather can be made from skin, and hair and eggs can be used as decorations and crafts 2、 According to incomplete statistics, only from January 1995 to June 1996, the cost of introducing birds and eggs from abroad in China reached 116 million US dollars In the domestic market, the price of each bird varies from 150000 yuan to 200000 yuan, the net profit of each bird is more than 100000 yuan, and the profit of self production and self reproduction is higher An ostrich farm in Guangdong bought 3 male and 5 female birds in November 1992, making 21 million yuan in 1993, 7 million yuan in 1994 and 21 million yuan in 1995 In an ostrich farm in Liaoning Province, 130 ostriches were purchased with huge investment from 1995 to 1996, and the investment was recovered and the profit was more than 10 million yuan The high profit of "seed frying" makes birds and eggs from the United States, Canada, France, Zimbabwe, Australia and other parts of the world flow into the country together By February 1997, there were nearly 60000 ostriches in China The total number of ostriches in China exceeded that in Europe (only 10000), ranking first in Asia and second in the world Even countries of origin in Africa were stunned Some small farms in Canada and the United States are doubling their worries about who to sell the ostrich after the production shift, so they are interested in China's "fried seed" market 3、 Where is the problem? In addition to the hot "fry seeds", sit down and think about it carefully There are still many problems to be solved First of all, the cultivation technology failed to pass the standard The United States and South Africa both announced that they were in the stage of experiment and research, and dared not rush to work Because the ostrich's feeding formula, immunity, breeding, product processing and sales have not yet mature and standardized technical problems These links do not understand that large-scale production will happen Young birds are not resistant to heat and cold It is still a problem to keep warm in winter in the north and even in the northeast, and the heating cost should also be considered Although the adult bird will not die from freezing, its egg production and growth will be limited Secondly, the feed conversion rate of ostrich is relatively low, and the feed to meat ratio is generally 10:1, that is to say, only one kilogram of meat per 10 kilogram of feed is long, which is undoubtedly a typical manifestation of the degradation of digestion and absorption organs of this ancient organism The third is the slow growth rate At present, pigs, chickens, geese and so on in the breeding industry can grow into the market within a few months from the beginning of fattening, while ostriches can grow to about 100 kg after 11-12 months Its meat quality is rough and not delicate, and its fat content is only 0.5%, which is equivalent to beef level The fourth is the low meat yield After slaughter at 14 months of age, the commercial carcasses were eviscerated, about 35 kg of meat was produced, and the meat yield was only about 40% The market problem of products is particularly prominent, with high prices In the international market, the price of ostrich meat is $40-50 per kilogram Because the price gap between meat and its value is too large, European and American people rarely pay attention The price of 100 kg ostrich skin after slaughter is RMB 5200-7200, and the price of processing a briefcase of 4 × 25 × 10 cm is RMB 17000 Feather, each adult bird can produce 1.49 kg per year, and the European and American market is 100 US $1 kg, while the high-quality fluff is expensive, but the production is very little Because bird eggs are mainly used for hatching "fry seeds", there is no price to follow The above prices of meat, skin and wool are hard for ordinary Chinese to accept, and it is also hard for their industry to enter the "basket project" The domestic market is very small Then the ostrich industry can only enter the international market If the market price does not fall to the same level as beef, the international market will not accept it The price of leather is the same When all the prices are down, the cost of breeding becomes the main contradiction, and the difficulty can be imagined Obviously, the future of ostrich breeding is not very optimistic 4、 The introduction scale of ostrich has written an unprecedented page in the history of agricultural science and technology of our country The introduction needs to be tested, demonstrated and popularized, which is the most basic method of agricultural scientific production No one can disobey it 2 In the unprecedented "seed speculation" fever, those who "sell first" have made a lot of money If they only see the "seed speculation" profits, they will rush in Under the condition of immature technology and market development, they will suffer setbacks 2 "Industrialization" has the article that ostrich breeding is subject to many factors, so we must work hard before, during and after production, and make use of the existing conditions to explore a new way of production industrialization In particular, we should explore the experience in the feeding mode of "company + farmer" or "company + laid-off" Njv 3 Pay attention to technology research and market development Ostrich breeding fever will promote the research, development and maturity of technology It is necessary to form standard supporting technology in breeding, disease immunity and feed formula, so as to avoid problems in the feeding process The "speculation" is temporary, and the product can only last for a long time to enter the market While finding the way in the international market, we should vigorously develop and cultivate the domestic market, and strive to reduce the price of products, so that they can enter the ordinary people's home and go to the table of the Chinese people, so that the ostrich industry can develop healthily 4 Ordinary farmers should be cautious in their investment From the current situation of "seed speculation", ordinary farmers do not have the economic strength of "seed speculation" As the "second mover", it is better to rely on large enterprises that raise ostriches to reduce investment risks If you don't know the technology and have no conditions to invest blindly, I'm afraid that the bigger the bet is, the more you will lose NJv
