Troubles on the land, animal breeding can bring not only pleasure, but also profit. Before you start farming, calculate all the pros and cons, decide on the types of products.
Instructions
Step 1
Make a business plan. Indicate in it the amount of initial capital that you are ready to spend on the development of the economy. If it is not enough, then think about the amount of the loan. Distribute these funds. Some of them will be used to rent land (if you do not own it), rent premises where cattle or small ruminants and poultry will live.
Step 2
Record the cost of keeping 1 head of livestock (feed, bedding, staff, etc.). If you want to produce farm products of animal and plant origin, then rent a plot of land for growing berries, vegetables and indicate this item of expenses. Also, the business plan includes all sorts of risks (drought, loss of livestock due to illness, spoilage of food, etc.)
Step 3
In order not to lose livestock due to the epidemic, it is necessary to get vaccinated on time. Also include paid visits by a veterinarian who will check the animals periodically as an expense. Calculate the expected profit. This amount will help you decide which farm products you will produce and sell.
Step 4
Let's say you have a house in a village with a large plot of land insulated with a spacious barn. Then you can breed a bird: chickens, geese, ducks. Walking is needed to keep these animals. For him, fence in a place near the barn. They feed the bird with grain, compound feed. If you buy these products in bulk, they will be cheaper than their retail value. Sell poultry, eggs, chicken.
Step 5
When considering the question of what farm products to sell, answer yourself - those that are in demand and have a good price. The sales market should not be oversaturated with them. For example, in Russia, the goose liver business is still poorly developed, from which the foie gras delicacy is prepared.
Step 6
To do this, select only the largest geese, keep them in separate cages. Feed intensively. In addition to the liver, sell goose carcasses and eggs. Use incubators to hatch goslings from eggs. In the same way, you can keep other birds, sell eggs, meat, down, feathers.
Step 7
If you have the opportunity to breed cattle, then sell milk, kefir, cottage cheese, sour cream, beef, veal.
Step 8
Sell piglets, rabbits. If you are raising goats, you bring the milk of these animals to the market. It costs more than a goat's and is very useful. You can sell sheep meat and wool, or knit warm clothes and sell them too.
Step 9
There are also many farm products of plant production. Bring vegetables, berries, fruits to the wholesale or retail market. Grow tomatoes, peppers, tomatoes in a polycarbonate greenhouse. With proper agricultural technology, a large harvest is guaranteed.
