How to raise pigeons? What should I pay attention to?

The breeding farm needs to be built in a place with quiet and convenient transportation and water conservancy, and the surrounding area needs to be fenced, and then the pigeons with strong immunity and strong fecundity are selected to be raised as breeding pigeons, which are divided into pre-egg feeding and post-egg rearing, while meat pigeons should strengthen the feeding of concentrate and maintain nutritional balance to promote the rapid fattening of meat pigeons. During the breeding period, it is necessary to clean up the dirt in the farms and pigeon cages in time, and take measures to prevent diseases in advance.

I. methods of raising pigeons

1. Construction of breeding farms

Pigeons are relatively timid and easy to be frightened at the same time, so the farms need to be chosen in quiet places with convenient transportation and water conservancy, mainly in cages, and need a certain amount of exercise space. at the same time, a simple greenhouse can be used for breeding, so the cost of building a farm will be reduced, and the farm needs to be fenced around, because pigeons have the ability to fly. If it's not surrounded, it's possible to fly away.

2. Seed selection and breeding

High-quality breeding pigeons are the basic conditions for breeding pigeons, so it is necessary to choose pigeons with strong immunity, strong fecundity and strong resistance as breeding pigeons, breeding pigeons should be able to reproduce at least 6 pairs of pigeons every year, and breed pigeons can also be mixed-reared. The weight of breeding pigeons is not recommended to be too heavy. During breeding, records need to be made, and then high-quality breeding pigeons can be selected for core breeding, and others can be eliminated appropriately.

3. Feeding technology

The main results are as follows: (1) if there is a lack of knowledge and technology in breeding, the economic benefits obtained in the later period are not very high. Feeding is mainly divided into breeding period, young pigeon breeding, breeding pigeon breeding and meat pigeon feeding. They are also different in feeding methods. Pigeons need to be forced to eat during the breeding period so that they can gradually feed on themselves.

(2) Young pigeons need to enhance their immunity and maintain nutritional balance so that they can grow normally. Breeding pigeons need to be divided into pre-egg breeding and post-egg breeding, while meat pigeons are raised mainly for fattening and sale. then it is necessary to strengthen the feeding of concentrate and maintain nutritional balance to make meat pigeons gain weight quickly.

Matters needing attention in breeding pigeons

1. Daily management

During the breeding period, it is necessary to clean up the farm in time, and the dirt in the pigeon cage can be cleaned every 2-3 days or so, and thoroughly disinfected every 15 days or so. at the same time, it is necessary to take measures to prevent pigeons from escaping and cause unnecessary losses.

2. Prevention and treatment of diseases

Now the probability of pigeon disease, as well as pigeon disease is more and more, so in the process of breeding, we need to take measures to prevent the disease in advance, of which the more common are pigeon Newcastle disease and pigeon pox, which can be injected with targeted vaccines. the dosage should be determined according to the age of pigeon growth, and when the disease is found, timely isolation treatment is needed to avoid infecting other pigeon flocks.
