What is the net profit of earthworms per acre?What is the net profit of earthworms per acre? What is the net profit of one acre of earthworms? Earthworms contain nutrients such as protein and amino acids. They are rich in nutrients, so many people raise earthworms specifically to make profits from them. Now I will share with you how much the net profit of one acre of earthworms is. How much is the net profit of one acre of earthworms? 1 The net profit of one acre of earthworms is about 6,000 yuan. The earthworm breeding technology is not complicated and easy to master. The breeding profit is good, which is better than planting traditional crops. The cost of earthworm breeding mainly includes bait, earthworm species, land fee, water and electricity, etc. 1. Annual investment cost 1. Cost of earthworm bait (pig manure, cow manure, chicken manure, mushroom farming scraps, etc.): a total of 200 cubic meters, calculated at 10 yuan per cubic meter, a total of 2,000 yuan. 2. 40 kg of self-bred earthworm seeds, at 20 yuan per kilogram, a total of 800 yuan is required. 3. Land rental: 200 yuan per mu. 4. Miscellaneous expenses such as water, electricity, etc.: calculated at RMB 1,000. The total investment is: 4000 yuan 2. Annual Total Income 1. Income from selling earthworms: One acre of earthworms can produce about 2,000 kilograms of earthworms a year. At 2 yuan per kilogram, the annual income is about 4,000 yuan. 2. Income from selling earthworm manure: It can produce about 40 tons of earthworm manure. Based on 150 yuan per ton, the annual income is about 6,000 yuan. The total income of the two items is: 10,000 yuan. 3. Net Profit 10,000 yuan - 4,000 yuan = 6,000 yuan To sum up, the theoretical profit from raising one acre of earthworms is about 6,000 yuan, which is much more profitable than growing traditional crops in rural areas! What are the earthworm farming techniques? 1. Feed processing plant: Feed processing plant includes the storage and fermentation or sorting and crushing of feed, and the size of the area depends on the scale. 2. Breeding workshop: Brick and wood structure or plastic greenhouse can be used. The temperature is controlled at 18-28℃. Temperature control equipment can use boiler heating, solar water heaters or waste heat from other factories for insulation in winter, and ventilation, water spraying, shrinking breeding piles and other measures can be used to cool down in summer. The width of the breeding workshop should be 4-5 meters, and the plastic greenhouse should be about 7 meters wide and the length should be determined according to needs, such as 30 meters, 60 meters or 100 meters, and 2 meters high. 3. Breeding bed: 1.5 meters wide is appropriate, with a 40-cm high low wall on one side and a 10-cm high small ridge on the side near the walkway. The bed surface is slightly inclined, with the inside higher and the outside lower, which is conducive to the drainage of excess water in the feed. A 25-cm wide and 25-cm deep water tank is set around the breeding bed for drainage and prevention of damage by rodents and ants, and a 1.2-meter walkway is left between the two beds. 4. Feed fermentation tank: In the breeding workshop, a feed fermentation tank can be set up outside the two beds. Fresh horse, cattle and pig manure can be put in it in winter, and the fermentation heat can be used to increase the temperature of the shed. In summer, it can be used as an egg cocoon hatching bed. 5. Breeding density: When raising earthworms in cow dung, the number of earthworms should be controlled within 10,000 per square meter, and the production earthworm population should be 3 kilograms per square meter (20,000 to 310,000 earthworms). In the early stage, there are 30,000 young earthworms per square meter, and the number drops to 20,000 in the later stage. 6. Timely feeding: earthworm farming requires abundant organic waste and other materials, such as pig, cow, horse, chicken manure, and various garbage. What is the net profit of earthworms per acre? 2 The net profit of earthworm breeding per acre is about 6,000-8,000 yuan. The level of profit mainly depends on the market prospects and breeding output. Now the market price of earthworms is about 8 yuan per catty, and the price of dry earthworms is about 50 yuan per catty. What are the techniques for breeding artificial earthworms? 1. Seed selection 1. Before breeding earthworms, you should choose species that grow and develop quickly, have strong reproductive ability, wide adaptability, long lifespan, and are easy to domesticate and manage as breeding objects. 2. Currently, the relatively good earthworm varieties include Daping No. 2, Beixing No. 2, etc. These varieties are obtained by artificially domesticating the "Eisenia fetida". Other excellent varieties include Pheretima annularis, Eisenia fetida, and Dura earthworm. 2. Choose a venue 1. According to the living habits and growth requirements of the selected breed, choose a place as the breeding site that is close to a pig farm or chicken farm, has flat terrain, is warm and humid, has lush vegetation, abundant natural food, is secluded and pollution-free, and has easy access to water. 2. In addition, the breeding site is also required to be close to the natural environment, with soft soil, rich in humus, irrigation and drainage, and sufficient sunlight (but not direct sunlight). 3. Make base material 1. The base material is the material on which earthworms live and is also their food source. The quality of the base material plays a decisive role in the successful breeding of earthworms. 2. The base material can generally be made of a mixture of pig manure, straw or fruits and vegetables. It requires a lower density and pressure, a higher water content, better water retention and stronger air permeability. 3. When making the base material, first prepare 60% fresh pig manure, 40% grass, add a certain amount of EM bacteria fermentation liquid and brown sugar, then mix well and water to make the moisture content of the base material between 55-70%. The height of the base material should be about 1 meter, and it should not be compacted, but kept loose, and finally covered with a film for sealing, and then anaerobic fermentation for about 20 days is enough. 4. Establishing breeding beds 1. The earthworm breeding bed generally needs to be established in a place with flat terrain, loose soil, no large lumps of soil, and both irrigation and drainage. 2. Before setting up the breeding bed, the ground should be leveled in advance, and then the fermented base material should be evenly spread on the ground, with a thickness of about 10 cm and a width of about 1 meter. After the base material is spread, the earthworm seeds should be evenly sprinkled on it. Under normal circumstances, 0.25-0.4 kg of earthworm seeds can be placed per square meter. If it is summer, the placement density can be appropriately reduced, and in winter, the placement density can be appropriately increased. 3. After laying the earthworms, lay a layer of base material on top of the earthworms, and cover the base material with a layer of straw to keep it warm and moist. After laying, pour an appropriate amount of water on the base material, and check it again after 1 day. If the earthworms escape, shrink, swell, die, etc., find out the reason in time (usually because the base material is not fermented well, it can be fermented again). 4. The gap between the breeding beds is required to be about 1 meter, which is convenient for feeding and management. 5. Feeding and Management 1. Temperature, humidity and pH value (1) The growth and development of earthworms will be affected by temperature and humidity. Under normal circumstances, the growth temperature of earthworms is 5-30℃, and the suitable temperature is 20℃. When the temperature is lower than 5℃ or higher than 30℃, it is not conducive to their growth. (2) When the temperature is below 0℃, the earthworms will be frozen to death; when the temperature exceeds 32℃, the earthworms will stop growing, and when the temperature reaches above 40℃, the earthworms will die. (3) The moisture content suitable for earthworm growth and development is 60-70%, and the moisture content during the incubation period should be 56-66%. (4) The growth and reproduction of earthworms are also closely related to the pH value. Under normal circumstances, the pH value of the growth environment and base material is required to be maintained at 6-8, and the more suitable pH value is 7. 2. Feed (1) Generally speaking, it only takes about 20 days for earthworms to convert pig manure into earthworm manure, so it is necessary to supplement the feed in a timely manner. (2) When supplementing the feed, you can cover the original material with new material. The amount of new material to be added should be determined according to the earthworms' appetite. At the same time, the new material should be laid evenly and covered with straw, and then watered frequently to keep it moist. 3. Watering (1) Water should be poured at least once a day in summer. The water quality must not be polluted and the water flow should not be too large. It is generally better to water thoroughly so that the upper and lower layers of materials can be connected. This can ensure the normal growth of earthworms. (2) The best time to water is usually in the morning or evening when the temperature is lower. 4. Management of breeding beds (1) No other debris should be mixed into the breeding bed, and it should be loosened regularly to ensure air circulation and the survival rate of young earthworms. (2) The aisles between the breeding beds should be kept clean and the earthworm feces should be cleaned regularly to ensure the cleanliness of the breeding environment. (3) When turning the breeding bed with an iron rake, move gently and try to bury the earthworm eggs in the base material to prevent the hatching rate from being affected. 5. Harvest (1) The generation interval of earthworms is about 60 days. Earthworms must be harvested in time during breeding to prevent them from escaping. (2) Generally speaking, when the number of earthworms per square meter reaches 15,000 to 20,000 and the weight of most earthworms reaches 400 to 500 mg, harvesting can begin. (3) If it is summer, it can usually be harvested once a month. If it is spring, autumn or winter, it can be harvested twice every three months. After harvesting, it is necessary to replenish feed and water in time. Feed can be added once a month. 6. Notes (1) Regardless of whether you harvest the earthworms yourself or purchase them from the market, you must rinse them with clean water before use and then boil them for 5-7 minutes to kill parasites inside and outside the earthworms' bodies. (2) When feeding earthworms to chickens, rinse them first, cook them, cut them into small pieces, and then add them to the feed. You can also kill the earthworms and dry them, and then feed them to chickens with a reasonable mix of feed. For laying hens, feed 15-20 grams per day, or add 12-15% of the feed amount (subtract 10-15 grams of the daily diet before feeding). For young chickens and commercial chickens, the feeding amount can be increased or decreased according to their weight, which has a good effect on growth and weight gain. What is the net profit of one acre of earthworms? How much is the investment of one acre of earthworm farming? The cost of earthworm farming per mu ranges from 20,000 to 30,000 yuan. The main input costs include earthworm seedlings, site rental, feed, water, electricity, and labor costs. 1. Earthworm seedlings: One kilogram of earthworm seedlings costs 300 yuan, and one acre of land requires 100 kg of earthworm seedlings. 2. Feed: Bait (cow dung, pig dung, chicken dung, and mushroom waste) is 2,000 yuan per mu. 3. Land rental fee: RMB 600 per mu. 4. Water and electricity: 500 yuan per mu. 5. Labor costs and greenhouse: about 10,000 yuan. Profit from earthworm farming per acre The market price of earthworms is not uniform, and it fluctuates every year. The prices in different regions are also different. For example, fresh commercial earthworms are generally 5-8 yuan per catty, and seed earthworms are around 45 yuan per catty. Generally, 7-8 catties of fresh commercial earthworms can be dried to get one catty of dried earthworms. The output of earthworm farming per mu of land is about 2-3 tons, up to 5 tons, and the output of earthworm manure is 40 tons. The market purchase price of earthworms is about 10 yuan/jin. If you just sell earthworms, based on the maximum output of 5 tons, the income of one mu of land is 100,000 yuan. The market purchase price of earthworm manure is 200 yuan/ton, so the income of earthworms per mu of land is about 8,000 yuan. Minus the investment required for one mu of earthworms, the profit of earthworm farming per mu is more than 50,000 yuan. |
