What is the prospect of raising donkeys at present? How to analyze the prospect of donkey breeding industry

Donkey industry is an integral part of traditional animal husbandry, which is changing from providing auxiliary power for agriculture to producing meat skin, and developing rapidly from small-scale low profit to medium-scale high profit. We believe that the development prospect of donkey breeding industry is good at present, and the main reasons are as follows:

First, there is a large profit margin for raising donkeys at present.

Meat donkeys have fewer diseases than mules, horses, cows and sheep, especially gastrointestinal diseases than horses. Generally speaking, as long as the donkeys are immunized, the pens are kept clean and dry, proper illumination, ventilation and feeding density are maintained, donkey feed is supplied, and sufficient clean drinking water is ensured, donkeys rarely get sick. The fertilization rate and foal yield of donkeys are both 90%, and the foal yield and mating rate reach 95%.

Meat donkey has wide natural ecological adaptability, heat tolerance and thirst tolerance, less water consumption and poor cold tolerance. They are widely distributed in dry and hot areas and are not suitable for living in alpine mountains and cold and humid areas. Luxi, southeastern Shandong and northern Shandong are very suitable for raising donkeys, and the vast rural areas of China can also raise donkeys on a large scale.

Second, the cost of raising donkeys is relatively low. Meat donkeys are docile and like to live in groups. They can be stocked or kept in orchards and hillsides, and can be fed with ordinary feed and grass. Generally, forage grass accounts for about 80% of the feed, small grains are their concentrate feed, and small grains straw is their roughage. It is also suitable for industrial feeding and needs to speed up its growth. Can be fed with compound feed or full-price pellet feed.

Third, the market demand for donkey products is strong 1. Donkey meat is a rare dish at a banquet. Its meat is delicate and delicious, and it is known as the dragon meat in the sky and the donkey meat on the ground. Its protein content is higher than that of beef and pork, and it is a typical high-protein and low-fat food. Donkey meat has the functions of enriching blood, invigorating qi, tonifying deficiency, nourishing yin and strengthening yang, and is an ideal health food. At present, it is still a hot commodity in the market, and the price remains high.

Donkey milk is also valuable. Donkey milk is very similar to human milk, and the proportion of nutrients in human milk accounts for almost 99%, which is the best substitute for human milk. Donkey milk can moisturize the skin and improve the facial environment.

Donkeys can be used for farming and riding. Farming for 6-7 hours every day can cultivate 2.5-3 mu. In rural areas, you can also go to the market by bike, which is suitable for mountain backpacking and family service.
