CATDOLL : CATDOLL: Profits from breeding scorpions

1. The benefits of breeding scorpions

Profit analysis of scorpion breeding:

A female scorpion can produce 2 litters a year, with 20 to 40 scorpions in each litter. If the ratio of male to female is 1:3, 1,000 scorpions will be introduced, and the number of young scorpions per year will be 750 (female) × 2 (litter) × 30 (scorpions) = 45,000. Based on a survival rate of 65%, after 8 to 12 months of breeding, 45,000 live commercial scorpions can be obtained × 65% ÷ 1,000 per kilogram. After deducting various expenses of 5,000 yuan (seedlings) + 200 yuan (pond construction, etc.) + 900 yuan (feed) + 1,000 yuan (labor, etc.) = 7,100 yuan, the net profit is about 4,015 yuan.

In summary, scorpion farming has good profits and the investment cost is not very high. Of course, under the condition that the scorpions are self-sufficient, farmers must also master the farming technology. Compared with raising pigs and chickens, raising scorpions is more profitable, but it is definitely not as profitable as many farming advertisements say, so farmers should think carefully and not blindly follow the trend.

2. How much money does it cost to raise scorpions?

The cost of raising scorpions is around 20,000 to 30,000 yuan.

Indoor scorpion breeding method: In the initial stage, scorpion breeding only needs 10-20 square meters of ordinary residence, or use the balcony, corner of the house, roof of the bungalow, etc., or build an indoor film small greenhouse for breeding and slow cover. The initial small-scale breeding investment is generally about 5,000-10,000 yuan, covering an area of ​​10-100 square meters.

The cost of introducing scorpions is 5,000-20,000 yuan. The food for scorpions is 100-300 yuan of mealworms and 100-300 yuan of earthworms. In addition, crickets, early grasshoppers, maggots, and woodlice are indispensable. The cost of these insect seeds is about 500 yuan.

Note:

1. The investment required for scorpion breeding is not very high. It has the characteristics of small investment, small risk, quick results, and high profits. For breeders, breeding scorpions saves labor, time, and trouble. Moreover, the technical requirements are not very high, and it is easy to manage. It can be said that men, women, young and old can do it.

2. However, how much you can earn depends on the scale of your breeding. Generally speaking, the larger the scale of breeding, the more you can earn, but the investment required is definitely more. However, in the early stage, you don’t have to consider the breeding rules, and it doesn’t matter if the scale is small. If you take 10,000 scorpions as an example, you can earn about 20,000 yuan a year.

3. Scorpion breeding technology and management technology, how high is the breeding profit

Site: Before raising scorpions, you need to select a site. The site must meet two requirements: first, the light cannot be too strong, and second, the drainage must be good.

Temperature: The temperature suitable for scorpion growth is around 28°C, and farmers will control the temperature through heaters.

Density: Scorpions are very aggressive animals, so the density must be controlled within a certain range when breeding.

Feeding: When feeding, you can feed it some growth feed, and pay attention to the feeding time and quantity.

1. Scorpion breeding technology

1. When breeding, you need to choose a breeding site. The breeding site must meet two requirements. The first is that the light cannot be too strong, and the second is that the drainage performance must be good. Because they are timid, the living environment must be quiet.

2. The growth temperature of scorpions is about 28°C. However, the temperature for cultivating them is difficult to control, especially the temperature for small breeding, so farmers can control the temperature through the heater.

3. The density of scorpions must be controlled during breeding. Since scorpions are aggressive and powerful animals, if too many are bred in one space, they will fight with each other, so their density must be controlled within a certain range of activity.

4. During breeding, you can supplement the feeding with some growth feed, but pay attention to the dosage and feeding time of the feed. Generally, feed 3-4 times a day. Never let it go hungry. Feed it in the morning, noon and evening.

2. Scorpion Management Techniques

1. Scorpions are economic animals that prefer shade to light and moisture to humidity. Therefore, when choosing a place, try to arrange it according to their wild living environment. There are two ways to cultivate them: group cultivation and isolation cultivation.

2. Scorpions are born with the nature of killing each other. So in order to avoid killing each other, you must limit their activity area, or keep them in a basin first, and then raise them in a bottle when they lay eggs. After they lay eggs, they can be raised together in a pond.

3. Scorpions are carnivores and prefer to eat soft and juicy insects. Therefore, when feeding, meat feed should be used as the main food. The more types of insects you raise, the better. This is because different insects contain different amino acids, which can promote their growth and development.
