The method of raising chickens with mulberry leaves

Generally speaking, after the chicks are born, they can eat the powder made from dried mulberry leaves to make the chicks adapt to the taste of mulberry leaves. When the chick grows to the young chicken, it can be put into the mulberry garden to eat mulberry leaves to replenish the body. Generally speaking, the water content of fresh mulberry leaves is high, and it is necessary to feed other fodder during this period.

1. The method of raising chickens with mulberry leaves

1, the general chicken does not eat mulberry leaves, but after it comes out of the eggshell, the first mouthful of feed contains mulberry leaves, over time will gradually adapt to this taste.

2. In order to make the chicks get used to the taste of mulberry leaves, the first thing they are generally given to eat is not fresh mulberry leaves, but mulberry leaf powder, that is, the powder made from dried mulberry leaves.

3. During the period of mixing mulberry leaf powder with chick feed, the chicks will slowly adapt to the taste of mulberry leaves when they are born. When the chicks grow into young chickens, they can be put into the mulberry garden to eat mulberry leaves to supplement their bodies.

4. Mulberry leaves can be used as feed for livestock and poultry, not only fresh, but also sun-dried, crushed, and then used in conjunction with other feeds, but because the moisture content of fresh mulberry leaves is slightly higher than that of grasses or other leaves, it is usually about 70%. Therefore, the proportion of mulberry leaves in the diet should not be too large, generally should be used with other feed.

5. After the picked mulberry leaves are sun-dried and crushed, 5% of the mulberry leaves are added to the chicken feed, the general egg yolk color can be significantly improved, the quality and quantity of eggs will also be improved, and the taste of chicken will be significantly improved. and can effectively reduce the discharge of ammonia in chicken manure.

The advantages of raising chickens with mulberry leaves

1. Domestic animal husbandry consumes about 8000-90 million tons of feed grain every year. With the continuous growth of domestic population, land resources are also in shortage. At present, it is not realistic to solve the problem that feed depends entirely on grain transformation.

2. Mulberry leaves generally contain many kinds of amino acids, and the proportion is suitable, among which the content of glutamic acid which plays a key role in sugar metabolism and protein metabolism is relatively high, and the contents of lysine and threonine are also higher. The balance of feed amino acids can be effectively regulated by adding mulberry leaves to livestock and poultry feed.

3. Mulberry leaves are palatable to most livestock. It is easy for animals to accept mulberry leaves when they come into contact with them for the first time. If animals are familiar with the taste of mulberry leaves, they will give priority to eating mulberry leaves rather than other forage grass.

4. According to the experiment, it is proved that the digestibility of mulberry leaves is very high, and the digestibility of mulberry leaves is more than 80% in vivo and in vitro, and the overall digestibility is equal to that of most tropical grasses.

5. Therefore, mulberry leaf protein is not only an excellent protein resource, but also an ideal raw material for a new type of feed for livestock and animals. in general, fresh mulberry leaves can be directly used to raise cattle, pigs, sheep, chickens and so on. it will not only break the traditional livestock and poultry industry that livestock and poultry feed completely depends on grain transformation, but also is better than most plant feed in terms of nutritional value and yield.
