What are the key points of Chinese partridge hatching technology?

Chinese partridge is a kind of common wild bird, which is rich in high nutritional value and certain medicinal value. Because people have a growing awareness of the protection of wild animals, many of them are now raised in captivity. Next, let's take a look at the key points of Chinese partridge hatching technology.

I. introduction of Chinese partridges

1. Shape

There is a difference between the male and the female of the Chinese partridge. The male has dark brown feathers on the top of the head, pillow and back neck, with a little yellowish brown edge. The forehead, the sides of the head and the back of the neck are chestnut yellow, arranged in a long broadband shape, all the way to the back. The black eye lines and jaw lines of the female bird are often broken and incoherent.

2. Habitat environment

Partridges like to live in places with sparse trees, often in valleys, hills and slopes, especially in barren mountains and bushes. Bamboo forests and other places near farmland are also places for their activities, because they don't like mountains and forests. Chinese partridges usually look for food in the valleys in the morning and evening, and spend the night in the bushes.

3. Eating habits

Chinese partridges are omnivorous creatures, such as crickets, ants, locusts and grasshoppers are all their favorite foods. Of course, they also eat some herbs in the bushes, such as buds, leaves, seeds, berries and so on. In addition, rice, peanuts and cauliflower scattered in the farmland are also their food.

4. Distribution range

Chinese partridges are mainly distributed in China, Cambodia, India, Myanmar, Laos, Thailand and Vietnam. China is mainly distributed in Zhejiang, southern Anhui, Jiangxi, Guangdong, Fujian, Hong Kong, Guangxi, Sichuan, Hainan, Guizhou, Yunnan and other places south of the Yangtze River.

Second, what are the key points of Chinese partridge hatching technology?

1. Select eggs

The breeding period of Chinese partridges is usually in April and May every year, and March is the courtship season for partridges. Generally speaking, each partridge can lay about 5 eggs. The breeding eggs should be selected when the partridges hatch, and it should not take more than half a month. Breeding eggs should try to choose non-deformed eggs, not double yellow ones. After selecting the eggs, soak them in warm water of 30 degrees for five minutes, then add a certain amount of potassium permanganate. The eggs are fished out and dried for hatching.

2. Hatching work

Do a good job of breeding eggs after hatching, pay attention to control the direction of breeding eggs, put the big head on a single plate, be careful not to break it. Place it in the incubator and fix the egg plate to prevent it from falling.

3. Turn the eggs

When hatching eggs, turning eggs should be done well to avoid the phenomenon of embryos sticking together. When the egg is not turned in time in the early stage, the yolk and eggshell will be connected together, which will reduce the hatching rate. If the egg is not turned in the middle period, it will lead to the connection between the yolk sac and the allantoic sac, leading to the death of the embryo.
