Measures to improve fertilization rate in Blue Peacock Culture

The main results are as follows: (1) choose excellent and robust individuals to keep seeds. When the adult blue peacock reaches sexual maturity, it can be mated as a blue peacock.

(2) the mating time of male and female blue peacocks should be suitable. If male and female blue peacocks join the group too early or too late, it will affect mating. The appropriate time for mating is that the female blue peacock flock is in the middle of April. The first birth female blue peacock group is not put into the male blue peacock in April. Before formal mating, one or two male blue peacocks can be put into the female group to see whether the female blue peacock is willing to accept mating in order to determine the gregarious time.

(3) the proportion of male and female spouses is appropriate: the proportion of male and female spouses of blue peacocks has a great influence on the fertilization rate of breeding eggs. If the proportion of male blue peacocks is high, the fight for mating is serious, on the contrary, the proportion of male blue peacocks is low, and the estrus female blue peacocks are easy to be mismatched. The experiment shows that the suitable ratio of male and female blue peacock is 1: (4: 6). In the process of breeding, the male blue peacock with fighting casualties and inability to mate is selected at any time, and the male blue peacock is no longer added.

(4) artificial fertilization.

(5) other

① should avoid sunlight and take cooling measures in dry and hot season: from the middle of June to the end of July, the weather is hot and direct sunlight will affect the sexual activity of the male blue peacock, reduce the mating times, and decrease the egg fertilization rate. Therefore, if there are not enough shading trees around the net room, it should cover the top wall of the net room and cover the Kang mat, or spray water to the net room floor to cool the blue peacock from heat. To maintain a high mating frequency and fertilization rate.

② examination of fertilization: after each batch of breeding eggs were hatched, the embryo eggs were checked in time, and the results were reported to the breeders. It was found that the fertilization rate of breeding eggs decreased. Various factors affecting the fertilization rate of breeding eggs should be examined and analyzed, the reasons should be checked, and timely measures should be taken.
