Скачать или смотреть Low cost, high return: an economical way to raise pigeons in traditional pigeon lofts.

In the video, the breeder holds a shovel and slowly pours corn kernels into the pigeon coop's feeding trough, where the pigeons neatly eat. Behind this scene lies a robust "grain economic chain." Pigeon breeding is not only a hobby but also a highly profitable industry. The three main categories—racing pigeons, meat pigeons, and ornamental pigeons—constitute a diversified market. Meat pigeons have a short breeding cycle and high feed conversion rate; a pair of breeding pigeons can produce 10 to 15 pairs of offspring annually, generating a profit of over a thousand yuan. Racing and ornamental pigeons, however, vary in value depending on their bloodline and training, ranging from hundreds to tens of thousands of yuan. Feed mainly consists of corn, peas, and wheat, which are low-cost, widely available, and easy to store. One ton of feed can sustain hundreds of pigeons for a month. Pigeon farms can also generate additional income by selling pigeon droppings as high-quality organic fertilizer, creating an ecological cycle. Compared to other livestock industries, pigeon farming requires less land, has lower risks, and offers flexible investment options, making it an ideal choice for rural side businesses and urban backyard economies.
