How to raise ornamental Pigeon breeding techniques

Ornamental pigeon, as its name implies, is a kind of pigeon specially used for people to watch. In recent years, the ornamental pigeon breeding industry has gradually sprung up, because many people like pigeons, and the market demand has brought considerable benefits for people. However, many people also have a lot of problems in the breeding process, most of which are caused by incorrect breeding methods of farmers.

How to raise ornamental pigeons

1, the first is to feed pigeon food, miscellaneous grains can be. Common miscellaneous grains are: wheat, corn, mung beans and peanuts.

2. In addition to daily miscellaneous grains, we also feed pigeons some vegetables such as green vegetables or cabbages, and it is best to produce some minerals in the feed.

3. The choice of the location of the pigeon nest is also knowledgeable. We must reorganize our vision, guard against the wind and dry places, pay attention to the sneak attacks of rats, snakes and cats, and prevent a lot of divided perches in the pigeon nest. prevent pigeons from fighting and grabbing territory.

4. Pigeons are clean animals, so pigeon nests should be cleaned at least twice a week in summer and at least once a week in winter.

5, there is that if it is to raise pigeons in large quantities, the early investment will be very large, to buy high-quality breeding pigeons, self-breeding and feeding, the investment in the later stage will be relatively less.

6. what needs to be paid attention to in raising pigeons is the hygiene and disinfection of pigeons, and it is best to get vaccinated so that the pigeons will not get sick collectively.

Breeding techniques of ornamental pigeons

1, adequate nutrition: newborn ornamental pigeons can not walk and feed, and rely entirely on parent pigeons to feed; second, rapid growth and development, rapid weight gain. To this end, parent pigeons must be given nutritious feed, especially to increase protein feed, and to increase the number of feeding times.

2, the temperature should be suitable: the feather of the newborn ornamental pigeon is very short, and its ability to keep out the cold is poor, so it is necessary to do a good job of preventing cold and heat preservation in the cold winter season, and increase the heat preservation facilities when the house temperature is lower than 6 ℃, and when the house temperature is higher than 26 ℃ in the hot summer season, it is necessary to do a good job of preventing heat.

3. Change the position of ornamental pigeons: in order to avoid a litter of ornamental pigeons, the difference in ontogeny is very large, it is necessary to change the position and take balanced care. The specific method is to change the position of two ornamental pigeons in the same nest every 2-3 days before the 6-7-day-old ornamental pigeons will stand, so as to get the balanced care of the breeding pigeons.

4. pay attention to health care sand: in order to ensure the health of ornamental pigeons and improve their weight, health sand should be put into ornamental pigeons on time every day to increase the contents of trace elements and vitamins and prevent indigestion of ornamental pigeons.

5. Keep the nest clean and dry: the nest pots and bedding grass contaminated and wet by feces should be replaced in time, the houses should be disinfected regularly, and the houses should be kept clean and dry so as to prevent the occurrence of epidemic disease.

Common diseases of pigeons and their prevention and treatment

1. Pigeon paratyphoid: the pathogen is Vannak, which has intestinal type, showing symptoms of diarrhea, green or watery feces. There is a septic type, reflecting acute death. The hub key type reflects the inflammation and swelling of the leg hub and the Dangyu hub.

Prevention and treatment: use chloramphenicol, add 50 grams every 50 kilograms of feed, forbid laying pigeons for 3 days, also use norfloxacin to prevent and cure, add 12 grams every 50 kilograms of feed for 5 days, also use sulfonamides to prevent and cure. Similarly, it is usually required to repeat 3 courses of treatment.

2. Pigeon ascariasis: this disease is a common parasitic helminthiasis, especially in pigeon flocks that are raised in groups and often fight on the ground. In mild fumigation, there were no significant symptoms; in severe fumigation, the diseased pigeon was thin, feathered, dysentery, stagnation of digestion and absorption, constipation, heterophobia, convulsions and tilted head and torticollis, and finally died.

Prevention and control: doing a good job in the hygiene of pigeon breeding houses, often sweeping feces and doing harmless disposal punishment, and holding regular deworming are useful measures to prevent the disease. The commonly used insect repellents are Ascaris repellent, levamisole hydrochloride, albendazole, phenothiazine and so on.

What problems should be paid attention to in breeding pigeons?

First, pay attention to the quality of varieties.

Whether the breeding pigeon used in production is good or not is a prerequisite for every pigeon raising enterprise and the foundation of the pigeon farm. The immunity, disease resistance, energy, hatching rate and survival rate of excellent breeding pigeons are relatively high, and the growth rate of squab is fast, reaching more than 500 grams at the age of 25 days. If it is a poor-quality breeding pigeon, the situation is different, and the economic benefits are out of the question.

Second, pay attention to feeding techniques.

Breeding and management technology is the key to the success or failure of pigeon industry. Whether it is an existing pigeon farm or a new pigeon farm, if there is a lack of breeding knowledge and technology, science and technology cannot be updated, and the traditional backward breeding methods will not produce benefits even if they have excellent pigeon breeding.

Third, pay attention to market risks.

At present, there is a big gap in the squab market, and supply exceeds demand, but it is wrong to say that there is no risk in the market. The squab consumer market, both at home and abroad, has a demand standard. High-quality squab will certainly sell well in the market, but if the inferior squab does not meet the quality standards, then the market risk is bound to exist.

We all know that pigeon is a kind of self-breeding animal, and it occupies a very large market in China, so raising good pigeons can bring good benefits. However, breeding needs to pay attention to breeds and technology and other issues, only these achieve high quality, the benefit can be higher.
