The growth cycle of native chicken

The growth cycle of native chicken is very long, the fastest half a year, slow about a year, but due to different breeds, there may be some differences in the growth cycle. For example, the growth cycle of the white feather native chicken is about 45 days, although the cycle is short, but the meat quality, taste and other aspects are not as good as other chickens, so it is recommended to use a chicken with a long growth cycle.

How to improve the benefit of native chicken?

1. Invest rationally in the construction of chicken farms

In fact, the construction of chicken farms is also a large capital investment, if it is large-scale breeding, the rent of chicken farms, farm equipment, equipment construction and improvement, these inputs are very large. Then in such a case, we need to reasonably plan the scale of breeding and make a good capital budget. At the same time, greenhouse can also be used for breeding, which can reduce part of the construction cost accordingly.

2. Scientific selection of species

There are many kinds of chickens, so we can't introduce them blindly, which will increase the risk of breeding. First of all, we should introduce species nearby; the second is to choose a formal breeding base; and there is to choose chicken breeds according to the current market demand and the development direction of breeding. Then choose good quality, disease-free, robust chicken seedlings to breed.

3. Elimination in time

In fact, timely elimination is mainly aimed at laying hen breeding, but it is also available in commercial chicken breeding. The laying hen mainly depends on its laying rate, as well as the physique of the laying hen. Then timely eliminate the laying hens with few eggs and weak physique, and cultivate high-quality hens. On the other hand, the commercial chicken is mainly to eliminate the weak chicken in time, otherwise it will increase the feed cost and labor cost.

4. Reduce feed cost

In the process of breeding, we mainly promote the growth and fattening of chickens and put them on the market as soon as possible. The feed cost is the most important cost expenditure in the breeding process, we should reduce the feed cost scientifically, not be cheap and buy inferior, deteriorated and moldy feed. The mode of self-cultivation can be adopted for breeding, which can not only ensure the quality of feed, but also reduce the purchase cost of feed. The second is to divide the chickens into groups reasonably and raise them separately according to the growth rate and strength of chickens, which can improve the feed conversion rate and achieve the purpose of reducing feed cost.

5. Get out of the hurdle in time

In the process of breeding, we should grasp the trend of market development, understand the market situation, and list in time. When the market situation is good, grasp the time of listing, fatten the chickens and obtain higher economic benefits. Secondly, after the chicken is fattened, it should be listed in time without delay, otherwise the chicken will lose weight again after it is missed, and the loss will outweigh the gain.

The above is the introduction of the growth cycle of native chicken. I hope it will be helpful to you.
