The experience of how to breed high quality native chicken

First, choose good varieties. Select famous local varieties with thin skin and bone, plump muscle, delicate meat, strong stress resistance and small and medium-sized body size.

Second, pay attention to grazing. The chicks were reared in the greenhouse for 30 to 40 days. Generally, grazing begins at the age of 30 days in summer, 45 days in spring and 65 days in winter. Grazing sites should choose orchards, tea gardens, bamboo woodlands or cornfields with dry terrain, shelter from the wind and sun, quiet environment, convenient drinking water, no pollution, no animal harm, etc., so that chickens can not only eat Cordyceps sinensis in the garden, but also supplement organic fertilizer to crops. In addition, rain shelters and bunkers should be built on grazing grounds to allow chickens to rest and take sand baths. The appropriate size of each group is 600 to 1000. In order to facilitate centralized management, nylon net is used around the pasture. In this way, the chicken is allowed to plough food in the field without restraint. It is only necessary to sprinkle feed in the field once a day and rush into the shed at night.

Third, feed skillfully. Native chickens should be fed with full-price ingredients during the rearing period, and the method of feeding less and more meals should be adopted to ensure that the chicks are always in a state of exuberant appetite so as to promote the growth and development of chicks. During the breeding and grazing period, more green fodder, soil miscellaneous grains, agricultural and sideline products should be fed, and a part of grain sprouts can be properly fed every day in the middle and later stage to increase nutrition, improve meat quality and reduce feed cost.

Fourth, strict epidemic prevention and deworming. Pay attention to the prevention and control of coccidiosis. Generally, it is better to prevent coccidiosis once at the age of 15 days and 35 days respectively. You can feed chickens with 300 grams of chopped mixture or fried water with spicy Polygonum, Portulaca oleracea and garlic. Usually in the feed to add appropriate amount of Chinese herbal medicine Radix Isatidis, andrographis paniculata, honeysuckle, wild chrysanthemum, forsythia, etc., try to control the dosage of western medicine and reduce drug residues.
