Turkey breeding technology

First of all, the chicken coop should be built in a place with dry, good drainage and irrigation capacity and warm in winter and cool in summer. The next step is to choose breeder chickens with strong growth ability, disease-free, vitality, bright coat color and reproductive ability. Then there is breeding, and artificial breeding should be carried out appropriately. Finally, hatching, egg inspection should be carried out once a week to find dead eggs and unable to hatch eggs in time.

1. Build a chicken coop

Build the chicken coop in a dry place with good drainage and irrigation capacity and warm in winter and cool in summer. To prevent direct sunlight into the chicken coop, but also to ensure that there is a certain amount of scattered light. It is necessary to reasonably plan the rest room, sports ground, hatchery, nursery room and artificial office, etc. Try to keep some green trees around the chicken house to improve air quality.

2. Choose breeder chickens

Male turkeys should choose those with strong growth ability, disease-free, vitality and bright coat color. The choice of female turkey is similar to that of male turkey, but it is necessary to ensure good reproductive ability. Breeder chickens can not be used for a long time and should be replaced regularly to eliminate inferior breeds in time. The utilization time of female turkey should not exceed two years, while that of male turkey can be extended appropriately.

3. Breeding management

The first laying time of a female turkey is about 8 months, and it can hatch after laying about 12 eggs. The mating of turkeys is generally mainly self-mating, but it is necessary to prevent inbreeding; and because of the differences between male and female turkeys, the injury rate of female turkeys is relatively large, which will have an impact on their reproductive capacity and economic benefits. therefore, it is necessary to carry out artificial breeding properly and increase the mating ratio to about 1:20, which can not only increase the reproduction rate, but also effectively reduce the feeding cost.

4. Incubation management

When the female turkey is holding the nest, we should pay attention to control the light to avoid the environment being too noisy. After hatching, we need to take care of the eggs and check the eggs once a week to find dead eggs and unable to hatch eggs in time. Male turkeys should be raised separately, the proportion of dry feed should be increased, and the dry feed should be slightly wet as far as possible.
