Aspects needing attention during the nestling period of farmed pheasant

What problems should be paid attention to in the feeding and management of pheasant chicks? The following will introduce the broad masses of farmers from the aspects of drinking water, temperature, humidity, density, ventilation and light, etc.

Timely drinking and eating: the young pheasant begins to eat 24 hours and 36 hours after it comes out of its shell. It is best to add 5% glucose or 0.1% potassium permanganate to the drinking water. The young pheasants that do not know how to drink water should be trained in time to drink water as soon as possible, and start eating 1 hour or 2 hours after feeding. The opening food should be soft, palatable, nutritious and easy to digest. It is best to feed wet mixture in the first 3-5 days. Remove the leftovers before each feeding. The feeding was induced once every 2-3 hours, and then the interval was gradually increased. 6 times a day in 0-2 weeks and 5 times a day in 3-4 weeks. Generally, the feed intake increases with the increase of age, and the feed requirement tends to be stable when it grows close to the adult body weight. Temperature and humidity regulation: the suitable temperature for brooding was 35 ℃ at 3 days old, 33 ℃ at 4 days old, 31 ℃ at 2 weeks old, 27 ℃ at 3 weeks old, 23 ℃ at 4 weeks old, and maintained normal temperature after 5 weeks old. The relative humidity is 65% to 70% at the age of 1-10 days, and 55% to 65% at the age of 11 days. Lighting time control:

The light requirements of the young pheasants are not too strict. The young chicks keep 24 hours of light for 3 days and 20 hours for 7 days. After that, they quickly turn to natural light according to the feeding situation of the young pheasants. When transferred to the three-dimensional cage before and after 3 weeks, full light should be added in the first night so that the young pheasants can adapt to the new environment as soon as possible, and it is appropriate to use 3 watts per square meter. After most of the pheasants eat and drink, they can use natural light. Density: with the change of age, its body weight and water consumption will also change accordingly, so the feeding density should be adjusted timely and the number of water and trough should be increased. When raising chicks in cage or box type, the density is: 10 days old 50 birds per square meter, 10 days old 30 birds per square meter, then they can be transferred to three-dimensional cages (4-layer cages for egg pheasant rearing chicks), 21 days old, 42 days old, 20 birds per square meter, 43 days old, 60 days old, 20 birds per square meter. Ventilation and indoor environment control: poor indoor air circulation and excessive concentration of ammonia will directly affect the growth and development of pheasants and induce chronic respiratory diseases, eye diseases and other diseases. Should be regular ventilation, keep indoor air fresh, timely removal of feces, cleaning the floor, maintain a suitable temperature, regular disinfection with chickens, timely evacuation density. To improve the indoor environment is one of the important measures to improve the survival rate of young pheasants.
