Is raising turtles profitable?

The cost of a one-pound soft-shelled turtle is about 20 yuan in an outdoor pond (1.5 yuan for each soft-shelled turtle fry, and 1 yuan for a one-pound feed fish)! The incidence of disease in outdoor ponds is very small, but it cannot be ruled out! It is best to feed fish or feed! If a soft-shelled turtle grows one pound in three years, you will lose money (it grows too slowly)! If the price is high where you are, you can raise it (more than 1.5 pounds but not less than 50 yuan) and you can raise it from a young age! (Here it can grow to more than 1.5 pounds in a year, and the largest can reach 3 or 4 pounds!) So the price is relatively cheaper! Don't listen to the nonsense of the people below, raising soft-shelled turtles is a bit risky now! If you have a market, you might as well be an agent!

How much feed do 4,000 soft-shelled turtles consume in a year?

If it is intensively raised in a greenhouse, it generally takes 1.1-1.3 kilograms of feed to make one kilogram of soft-shelled turtle grow. If soft-shelled turtles are sold at around one kilogram, about 2.5 tons of feed will be needed.
