Matters needing attention in raising pheasants in winter

Pheasant, also known as pheasant, colorful pheasant, pheasant, etc., is a rare game bird with meat, ornamental and medicinal uses: edible value: pheasant meat is tender and delicious, game is rich, its protein content is as high as 40%, which is 2.5 times that of ordinary chicken and pork, and its fat content is only 0.9%. It is 45 of pork, 10 of beef and 115 of chicken, basically free of cholesterol. It is a game food with high protein and low fat. The feathers of pheasants are unique, and they can also be made into feather fans, feather paintings, toys and other handicrafts. When the temperature drops in winter, there are a lot of things to pay attention to in pheasant breeding, once it is not done well, it will bring huge losses to pheasant breeding. So what do you need to pay attention to when raising pheasants in winter?

Let's take a look at what pheasant farms should pay attention to in winter:

One: pay attention to improve the humidity of the pheasant house in winter: the relative humidity should be 60%, 70%, and 70%. The higher humidity is conducive to the survival and reproduction of microorganisms, and if accompanied by low temperature, it will aggravate the harm of low temperature. If the humidity is low, the chicken house is dry, which is easy to induce respiratory diseases of chickens, especially when chicks are in a dry environment for a long time, it can lead to dehydration and weakness. Therefore, attention should be paid to the adjustment of the humidity of the chicken house. Winter cushion material is relatively dry, should often sprinkle water or spray disinfection.

Second: regular disinfection of pheasant farms in winter: the resistance of chickens in winter is generally weakened. if disinfection is ignored, it can easily lead to disease outbreaks. The method of drinking water disinfection is used to raise chickens in winter, that is, disinfectants (such as parathion, Qiangli disinfectant, sodium hypochlorite, Weidao disinfectant, etc.) are added to the drinking water in proportion and can be used once a week. The floor of the chicken house can be sprayed with dry powder disinfectants such as white lime and Qiangli disinfectant. It is more appropriate to spray once or twice a week.

Third: pay attention to reduce stress in winter: pheasants are timid and easily frightened, and there is a lot of noise in the outside world every winter, especially during the Spring Festival. If there is a strong sound from the outside world, such as the sound of firecrackers during the festival, the shrill sound of gongs and drums, etc., the breeders should enter the henhouse in time, create a sense of security with "the master is by the side" to the chickens, and turn on the lights to prevent the chickens from being scared to death in the dark. Appropriate amount of multivitamins or anti-stress drugs can also be added to feed or drinking water to prevent and reduce the loss caused by stress reaction.

Fourth, pay attention to eliminating enemy harm in winter: in winter, rats and weasels often gather in the henhouse to steal feed, bite the utensils, and even spread the epidemic disease, bite or kill chickens, or cause stress reactions of chickens, so do everything possible to exterminate the enemy.

Fifth: it is necessary to appropriately increase the energy of pheasants in winter: chickens maintain their body temperature by getting heat from the feed they eat into the body. the lower the temperature outside, the more heat the chicken uses to keep out the cold. In addition to ensuring a certain proportion of protein, high-energy feed with more starch and sugar should be added to meet the physiological and production needs of chickens in winter.

Heat preservation methods of pheasant culture in winter

With the advent of winter, the biggest problem facing pheasant farming is temperature control. How to keep warm in winter? Farms generally adopt the following heat preservation methods: first, coal stove heating; second, flue heating; third, insulation lamp heating. Four: heat preservation umbrella heating. Among them, the heating of coal stove is the simplest and the cost is the lowest. But coal stove heat preservation is the most prone to safety accidents. Every winter, the breeding industry is poisoned by coal furnace gas, resulting in human and animal casualties in farms. Pheasant breeding technology network once again reminds farmers across the country that winter farm insulation must pay attention to safe production, check whether the wires are aging, and check the coal stove. Whether the pipe is leaking or not. ensure that the air intake window of the nursery is unobstructed and the air is well ventilated. here we introduce several heat preservation methods for pheasant farms:

One: coal stove heat preservation: the size and usage of coal stove is determined according to the area of pheasant house, usually one coal stove for every 1000 chickens, the coal stove should be connected with seamless smoke pipe to discharge carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide outside the house. pay attention to air circulation to prevent gas poisoning. In addition, coal stove heating causes dry air and large dust, which needs to increase humidity appropriately.

Two: flue heating: the flue is made of bricks on the ground, and the arrangement is determined by the house. One end of the flue is connected with the stove, and the other end is connected with the outdoor chimney; the caliber of the flue entrance is larger, and the flue outlet should gradually become smaller; the inlet should be slightly lower, and the outlet gradually increases with the extension of the flue, so as to facilitate the circulation of heating and smoke exhaust to prevent smoke pouring. Note: keep indoor ventilation, the flue heating cost is low, the operation is simple, and the temperature is stable, but the flue is easy to cause chicken gas poisoning, pay attention to check the flue regularly.

Three: heat preservation lamp heating, generally choose 250 watt infrared bulb, hang the bulb 35 centimeters above the ground. Generally in summer, autumn, spring, winter generally not recommended. Advantages: clean chicken coop, stable temperature, fast heating, convenient management, chickens can freely choose to move far or near the light bulb according to their needs. Disadvantages: the heat preservation capacity of the light bulb is limited, and the lamp price is expensive, the power consumption is high, and the cost is high.

Four: heating of insulating umbrellas: they are sold in the market, which are made of iron sheet, aluminum sheet or wood, and cloth. The heat is supplied by the electric wire or electric heating plate installed in the umbrella, and the temperature control device is composed of ether expansion cake and microwave switch. Press the required temperature adjustment knob to control the temperature. The temperature regulator must be calibrated with the standard thermometer before use to ensure that the temperature control is correct. Advantages: easy temperature adjustment, convenient management, good heating effect: high cost of equipment in the early stage, electricity consumption is lower than that of insulation lamp, and the effect is better than insulation lamp.

Pheasant breeding heat preservation in winter, safety production first, pay attention to check hidden troubles. According to the breeding scale, reasonable selection and transformation of heating equipment.
