Selection and price of fences for raising native chickens in mountainous areas

Because the native chicken is loved by many people, livestock farmers see the business opportunity, so they come to lease the mountain to raise the native chicken, which is what we often call the mountain chicken. In raising chickens in the mountains, the fence has become the biggest concern for farmers, because the fence is really very useful, it can not only prevent chickens from running around, but also prevent others from stealing.

Selection and price of fences for raising native chickens in mountainous areas

1. Electric welding mesh: the advantage is that it is firm and not easy to rot. The disadvantage is that it is easy to be seduced and is not suitable for rainy areas in the south.

2. Fishing net: it is not easy to be broken by chickens fighting and pecking, but the price is a little high, the cost is too high, and it needs frequent maintenance, and the maintenance cost is not low, so it is not appropriate to raise chickens with fishing nets.

3. Line net: it is economical and suitable for raising chickens, but it is easy to be pecked through. It is suggested that farmers with less investment should choose line net to surround the chicken farm.

4. Barbed wire: the cost is moderate, but the installation is troublesome and easy to induce. If the cost is limited, it is also the best choice.

5, iron wire coated mesh: also known as plastic-coated iron wire, if you go to the production factory to buy, the price is about 6 yuan a square, while the local price is about 10 yuan a square, the price is slightly expensive, but the practicality is very good.

Aquaculture net, fence net, protective net are a kind of barbed wire fence, used in different sites, are used as protection, we can choose according to their own scale and cost budget.

Characteristics of barbed wire fence for raising chickens

1. Beautiful and practical appearance.

2. It is suitable for long-distance isolation and does not require high height.

3. With the use of transverse coil ring reinforcement, the strength and aesthetic feeling are improved, and the cost is slightly increased.

The technology of raising native chickens in mountainous areas

In the hilly, shallow mountain and grassy slope areas with better ecological conditions, grazing is the main way, supplemented by supplementary feeding to develop local chickens. This way has the advantages of low investment, high price, meets the requirements of green food, and is favored by consumers. It is a practical green breeding technology worth popularizing.

1. Mountain selection.

Mountains should be kept away from residential areas, industrial and mining areas and trunk roads. Choose a quiet and peaceful environment, clean air, preferably shrub forest, thorn forest, broad-leaved forest and other places, its slope should not be too large, hilly and mountainous areas are more suitable. There are clean water sources such as unpolluted streams and ponds nearby.

2. Build a shed.

Find a flat land facing the wind in the stocking area, and use linoleum, canvas and bamboo to build a simple chicken coop facing north and south. You can also build a plastic shed that can keep warm, block the wind, protect the rain, and avoid stagnant water.

3. Stocking scale and season.

The scale is about 1800 birds per group, the scale is too large, it is inconvenient to manage, the scale is too small, the benefit is low, and the stocking density is about 200 birds per mu, adopting the "all-in-all-out system". The suitable season for stocking is from late spring to Mid-Autumn Festival. At other times, due to low temperature and reduction of Cordyceps sinensis, stocking should be stopped.

4. Stocking method.

Native chicken breeds should choose local improved breeds. Before the age of 3 to 4 weeks, like ordinary brooding, choose a room with good heat preservation performance for artificial brooding, and then transfer to the mountain for stocking. In order to let the chicks form the habit of looking for food on the mountain as soon as possible, starting from getting out of temperature and transferring to the mountain, the guided training of going up the mountain is carried out every morning. Generally, it takes two people to cooperate, one person whistles in front and scatters pellet feed to let the chicken follow the looting, and the other person drives it with a bamboo pole until all go up the mountain.

In order to enhance the effect, one can whistle on the mountain at noon every day to supplement food. at the same time, the breeders should insist on driving away the chickens who return in advance in time in the shed, and control the range of activities of the flock, and then use the same method to give guidance in the evening. After a week of training, the chickens set up a conditioned response to whistling and feeding, and then all they have to do is whistle and summon.

5. Stocking management.

In the first few days of stocking, a certain amount of vitamin C or multivitamins can be added to feed or drinking water to prevent stress. The supplementary feed does not process industrial raw materials and feed additives, and antibiotics and insect repellents are not used 3 months before the cage.

Feed selection of native chicken raised in mountainous area

The growth rate of high-quality native chicken is relatively slow, although the requirement of feed nutrition level is not high, we should not only feed single feed, but should choose high-quality native chicken series full-price granule or mixed feed, so as not to cause nutrition deficiency and affect growth and development. reduce the survival rate. Mixed grains such as pumpkin, sweet potato and cassava grown in mountainous areas can be used to replace part of the mixture.

Feeding and management of mountain chicks

The growth and development of chicks are characterized by poor thermoregulation, imperfect digestive function, poor disease resistance, fast growth, strong sensitivity, gregarious and timid. Therefore, the following points should be paid attention to in feeding and management:

1. Drinking and eating

After entering the rearing room, the chicks can be fed with water after resting for half an hour to one hour. Generally speaking, water is fed first. The water temperature should be about 32 degrees, and you can't drink cold water. The dilute concentration of potassium permanganate solution can be drunk in the first 2 days, which is beneficial to anti-inflammation, sterilization and prevention of chicken white dysentery. After drinking water, chicks can quickly excrete meconium to stimulate appetite. Generally, you can eat after drinking. Sprinkle the open feed on the light-colored plastic sheet spread on the cushion and let the chicks eat freely. The digestibility of chicks is poor and must be fed with digestible and nutritious feed. Two days after the chick came out of its shell, the chick had a strong appetite. When feeding, it should be fixed and quantitative, and it is generally appropriate to feed 80% full. Oversatiety can cause indigestion; when insufficient, it will affect the growth and development of chicks, and even cause pecking addiction. It is appropriate to eat in 15-20 minutes at a time.

2. Ambient temperature

The key to brooding is to give the chicks the right temperature. Take the temperature under the sterilizer as an example: 34-35 degrees at 1-2 days old, 32-34 degrees at 3-7 days old, 30-28 degrees at the second week, and 28-26 degrees at the third week. Brooding drops 2 degrees a week in winter and spring, and 3 degrees a week in summer and autumn to 21 degrees.

3. Humidity

For the humidity requirements of chicks, the relative humidity was 70-75% in the first week, dropped to 60% in the second week, and remained at 55-60% as far as possible after the third week. Excessive humidity is conducive to the reproduction of pathogenic microorganisms and is easy to induce coccidiosis. Too low humidity and dryness will speed up the breathing of chicks, a large amount of water in the body will be distributed with breathing, and the remaining egg yolk in the abdomen will be malabsorbed, which will affect the development of chicks.

4. Strengthen inspection and pay attention to grouping

Strong and weak chicks and sick chicks should be raised in groups, and it is best to check that weak chicks are easily squeezed out when they are fed for the first time in the morning. The seriously ill chicks were eliminated immediately.

The significance of inspecting chickens regularly

① understands the palatability and feeding amount of feed through observation.

② can detect and diagnose diseases in time from the diet, activity and fecal condition of chicks.

③ discovers the unexpected situation in time, handles it in time, and reduces the loss.

Selection of sheds for raising native chickens in mountainous areas

The site selection of free-range native chickens should follow the following principles:

1. It is not only conducive to epidemic prevention, but also convenient transportation.

2. The site should be in a place of Gaolang, dryness and good drainage.

3. Shading equipment should be provided in the venue to prevent sunstroke or catching cold in the rain.

4. The site should have water and power supply, and be enclosed to prevent getting lost and bringing in germs. Shelter from the wind and the sun, a grassy slope with flat terrain and no stagnant water. It is better to have trees so that the chickens can enjoy the cool under the trees.

Although it is said that native chickens can be raised in large areas and on a large scale in mountainous areas, there are many technical points to be mastered, and it takes a certain amount of time to master both the choice of fences and the study of breeding methods. therefore, when farmers decide to raise native chickens in mountainous areas, they should carefully check their knowledge in this area, otherwise they will be in a hurry.
