Matters needing attention in breeding pheasant during laying period

The protective measures of pheasant laying period directly affect the quantity and quality of pheasant laying eggs, so what protective measures need to be taken during the laying period? The following is the experience summed up by the technicians of Zhaobao Ecological Farm:

1. Increase light according to farm experience, pheasant lighting time should reach 16-18 hours during laying period, it is best to fix it at a fixed time, and use gradual and dark switch governor to avoid causing pheasant shock and stress. The height of the lamp should be about 2 meters from the ground, and the light distribution should be uniform. The light intensity is controlled at 2 to 3.5 watts / m 2 according to different seasons. two。 The optimum temperature for pheasant during laying period is 18-26 ℃, and large temperature fluctuation should be avoided as far as possible. Attention should be paid to cooling in summer, indoor breeding should keep good ventilation in the house, exhaust fans can be installed if possible, and outdoor breeding should be cooled by shading, sprinkling water and so on. Pay attention to keep warm in winter and keep the temperature in the house stable. 3. Pheasants are sensitive to sound during the laying period, and are easy to be frightened, affecting egg production. During the laying period, we should try our best to keep the environment around the henhouse quiet, reduce the noise, reduce the relocation and transformation, and even the breeding personnel and clothes should be relatively fixed. 4. To provide a good environment, the chicken coop should be cleaned at a fixed time to keep the chicken coop clean, dry and odorless. Regular ventilation, reduce feeding density, avoid crowding, provide a good growth and breeding environment for pheasants, and minimize or eliminate the damage of various pathogens to pheasants during laying period. 5. Imitation ecological decoration can cut some branches, preferably pine and cypress branches hanging in the henhouse, which not only beautifies the environment and provides habitat for pheasants, but also allows pheasants to quickly adapt to the life of henhouses, but also allows them to eat pine needles and increase the intake of crude fiber and vitamin A. 6. Regular vaccination to strengthen epidemic prevention can effectively prevent the occurrence of diseases. Pay attention to checking leaks and filling gaps when injecting. Disinfect the food trough and sink with 0.1% potassium permanganate solution every day. Penicillin can be added to drinking water during the laying period, which can not only prevent diseases such as colibacillosis, but also prevent colds. To do a good job in mosquito and fly control, all sick chickens should be isolated, dead chickens should be concentrated and buried deeply, and other pheasants should be used to change the site to keep pheasants healthy is one of the important measures to prolong the peak period of egg production and improve the fertilization rate of breeding eggs. 7. Adding traditional Chinese medicine to the feed of Atractylodes, moxa leaves, dandelion, licorice and other Chinese herbs can not only enhance the immunity of pheasants and prevent a variety of diseases, but also improve the laying rate and egg quality. Some traditional Chinese medicine additives can also improve the growth rate of pheasants, reduce feeding costs and increase economic benefits. 8. Provide adequate nutrition, drinking water, egg box the pheasant's demand for nutrition and water during laying is higher than usual, the protein content of the feed directly affects the egg production and the duration of egg production, and adequate green feed should be prepared. to meet the pheasant's demand for vitamins and trace elements. The amount of pheasant drinking water increases during the laying period, especially in summer. The configuration of the laying box in the henhouse should be reasonable, with one laying box for every 3 to 4 pheasants to ensure that the pheasants can find the laying place when laying eggs.
