1, the cost of raising an acre of leeches
Land cost: before breeding, you need to rent land first. Generally, the rent for an acre of land is around 500 yuan, and then you need to do a good job in land preparation and infrastructure construction. The land consolidation work is about 800 yuan/mu, so the land cost is about 1300 yuan.
Introduction cost: about 2000 leech seedlings can be put in one mu of land, and under normal circumstances, 200 leeches are almost a catty. At present, the price of water quality seedlings is about 150 yuan/kg, so the introduction cost of leeches is about 2000 yuan.
Feed cost: the feed cost of leeches is basically natural bait in the field, so it is necessary to cultivate the bait well. Base fertilizer should be applied to the ground, base fertilizer should be 500 yuan, early bait should be 200 yuan, and one * * * needs 700 yuan.
Management cost: Although the labor cost of cultivating an acre of leech can be ignored, it is necessary to prepare some basic management equipment, profit irrigation and drainage system, temperature control equipment and so on. The total cost is about 1000 yuan.
Miscellaneous expenses: We also need to invest a lot of miscellaneous expenses, such as water and electricity, medicines and so on. Although the total cost is not big, it still needs our attention, adding up to about 500 yuan. Therefore, according to the above data, we can calculate that the total cost of cultivating one mu of leech is about 5500 yuan.
2, the profit of cultivating an acre of leeches
Under normal breeding conditions, one leech can breed about 40 leeches a year, and the water quality of 2000 leeches is 80 thousand. But the survival rate of water quality is very low, generally 20% is good. Therefore, the final survival number of leeches is about 15000, which is about 800kg converted into the dry weight of leeches, and the processed leeches are only 100kg. Now the price of dried leeches is about 150 yuan, so the gross income of an acre of leeches is 15000 yuan. Excluding the breeding cost, the net profit of one mu of leech can reach nearly 10 thousand yuan.
3, breeding matters needing attention
Generally speaking, leeches can reproduce in about two years, so attention should be paid to selecting seedlings when introducing them. Mainly young leeches, the weight should be kept above 20g. Then we should master mature breeding techniques to prevent breeding failure due to inadequate techniques. Then, we should do a good job in management and often observe the growth of leeches. When there is a problem, we can't deal with it. Ask experienced people for help in time, and don't deal with it blindly. Finally, we should pay attention to the problem of sales. We should fully understand the local market, ensure its stability and prevent it from being sold out.
The above briefly introduces how much money you can earn per mu by raising leeches. Although leech breeding efficiency is high, it is not as simple as everyone thinks. Therefore, everyone must pay more attention when breeding! Let's call it a day. This article is for reference only. I hope I can help you!
