How to raise pheasants

Pheasant is one of the most popular species of meat birds because of its delicious meat and unique flavor. At present, pheasant is in short supply in the market. So how to raise pheasants?

I. selection of breeding sites

Site selection should consider many factors, such as site size, topographic conditions, water sources, sufficient sunshine, epidemic prevention conditions and so on.

1. Size of the venue. The venue should be large enough to ensure that pheasants have enough space to move around.

2. The site should be in a refreshing, open and high area with good water supply and drainage. Shading measures should also be provided in the venue, such as all kinds of trees, to ensure that pheasants have good venues for activities. It is best to choose deep mountains and grasslands, no infectious diseases, good air and geology

Good, good water quality, many weeds and trees, which is more conducive to the free-range breeding of pheasants.

3. It is beneficial to epidemic prevention. Chicken farms should not be located in densely populated residential areas or factory concentration areas, but in more remote areas accessible by vehicles. Such places are not easily infected by epidemic diseases and are conducive to epidemic prevention.

II. Pheasant's living habits

1. The eating habits of pheasants. Pheasant has a variety of foods, and young leaves, fruits and seeds of plants can be used as its food, such as all kinds of grains and grains. In general, pheasants also like to eat some small insects, such as all kinds of insects.

2. Pheasant physiological habits. Pheasants generally walk on land with their claws and are not good at flying. And the flight distance is very close, sometimes by jumping.

3. Reproduction. Pheasants can be bred after about 10 months, and the peak of pheasant breeding is in late spring and early summer. Two nests of eggs can be laid every year.

III. Feeding and management techniques

1. Reasonable feeding. The use of chicken special feed, in addition, can appropriately increase corn, sorghum and other feeding. In addition, make sure the pheasant has plenty of water. On this basis, grass and green leaf feed should be added properly, which can supplement the life support of pheasants.

Su, it helps pheasants to digest better.

2. Control the temperature and humidity of the chicken house. In general, the brooding temperature is 25 ℃ ~ 35 ℃. It can be raised at room temperature in 5 weeks.

3. Control the density. At the beginning of breeding, there are generally about 10 pheasants per square meter, and after a period of time, pheasants can be raised in groups according to their weight, size and sex, so that their density is gradually reduced to about 6 per square meter. At the same time, enough troughs should be set up to meet the feeding of pheasants.

4. Put a perch in the chicken coop to prevent pecking. A perch should be placed inside and outside the fattening henhouse for pheasants to perch and stop using, which can not only make full use of the breeding space, but also help to reduce pecking habits.

IV. matters needing attention when raising

1. Put some green vegetable leaves rich in cellulose in the chicken house, which can not only supplement the vitamins and fiber for the chicken, but also avoid the phenomenon of feather pecking.

2. To increase the amount of salt in feed, we can also add salt to drinking water and ensure adequate water supply.

3. Keep the farm quiet and tidy, and make the culture environment consistent with the wild natural environment as far as possible, so as to reduce the influence of external factors.

4. Generally, the chicks hatched in 3 ~ 4 months can be transferred to 6 weeks old, and the hatched pheasants in summer can be transferred to 5 weeks old, and enough light should be given before changing groups.

5. Spoilage and mildew feed is prohibited. Pheasants in the early stage of breeding are susceptible to Aspergillus, with high morbidity and mortality, so in feeding and management, attention should be paid to forbidding moldy and deteriorating feed, controlling the environment in the house, maintaining suitable temperature and humidity, and often.

Disinfect the henhouse and check the pheasant at regular intervals to ensure the pheasant to grow healthily and normally.

At present, due to the shortage of demand in the market, the price of pheasant is also higher than that of ordinary broiler, so the breeding benefit of pheasant is also good. Farmers can choose according to their own actual situation.
