What are the main points of feeding and management of pheasants in different growth stages?

Pheasant, also known as pheasant, pheasant. Pheasant farming is a breeding project with low investment, quick results and huge market potential. therefore, it is suggested that farmers who intend to breed pheasants had better understand the technology and market before deciding to breed pheasants, and combined with their own conditions, after comprehensive and careful consideration, before investing. What are the main points of feeding and management of pheasants in different growth stages?

I. brooding period

1. Drink and eat at the right time

The young pheasant begins to eat 24 hours and 36 hours after coming out of its shell, and the chicks after long-distance transportation should start drinking water 1.5 hours after putting it into the greenhouse, preferably adding 5% glucose or 0.1% potassium permanganate to strengthen their physique, relieve stress and promote the excretion of harmful substances in the body. 1-3 days in the drinking water should also be added to prevent chicken pullorum and E. coli prevention and treatment (this is very important). The young pheasants who do not know how to drink water should be trained in time to drink water as soon as possible and prevent the chicks from drowning. Eat 1-2 hours after water feeding. It is best to eat corn flour that is easy to digest for 1-2 days. On the third day, 50% chicken feed should be added to make a gradual transition. Three days later, they were all fed with chicken feed. It is best to feed on a plate in the first four days, and then gradually transition to a special feed bucket. 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.

2. Temperature and humidity control

Pheasant seedlings, especially those within 7 days, are very sensitive to temperature, which is the technical core of brooding and the key to the survival rate. Farms and professional households can raise them in cages in the greenhouse and use Kang Road and fireplace to burn coal to raise the temperature, but pay attention to indoor ventilation to avoid chicken gas poisoning (it is best to heat up the coal in the tunnel to avoid huge losses due to power outages or inadequate heating.) . Heat preservation standard: pheasants that come out of the shell within 3 days should sleep evenly in the incubator or in the incubator; the temperature should be kept at about 37-38 degrees in 1-3 days. After 3 days, you will be free and lively in the box (room). All the work of thermal insulation must be centered on this standard.

3. 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.

4. 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 often ventilated, but avoid thieves and wind, so as to avoid the wind blowing directly on the chicks. Keep the indoor air fresh, clean the feces and the floor in time, maintain the appropriate temperature, disinfect the chickens regularly and evacuate the density in time. To improve the indoor environment is one of the important measures to improve the survival rate of young pheasants.

5. Lighting time control

The light requirement of the young pheasant is not too strict, the young keep 24 hours of light for 7 days and 20 hours for 30 days. After that, they quickly turn to natural light according to the feeding condition of the young pheasants.

II. Management of the breeding period

The growth period of pheasants is 5 to 10 weeks old. During the breeding period, the tide feeding method was used, four times a day, once at 5 o'clock in the morning, and then at 9 o'clock, 13:00 and 17:00 respectively. Each chicken should have enough space to feed and drink to prevent overcrowding and pecking. The feeding amount of breeding pheasants should be controlled to prevent the increase of abdominal fat. If you eat dry powder feed, we should pay attention to the supply of drinking water, so that drinking water continuously, once there is no water, it needs to be replenished in time.

Although the breeding pheasant has been detempered, it is still sensitive to temperature. Too low or too high temperature will affect the normal growth and development of pheasants. The feeding temperature should be kept below 18-25 ℃, and if it was higher than 25 ℃, the density should be reduced and ventilation should be strengthened. From 15 per square meter at the age of 30 days, it should be reduced by 5 per square meter per week to about 3 per square meter; when raising at the bottom of the net house, it is 6-8 per square meter and 3 per square meter at the age of 11 weeks; free-range breeding starts from the age of 40 days, and the breeding density is halved every two weeks to 2 per square meter. Zhongwei has to turn to the group at the age of 11 weeks, because the 11th week is the second moulting period of 2 months. In this period, the pecking habit of pheasants should be strictly prevented, otherwise the appearance quality of commercial pheasants will be seriously affected.

III. Key points of feeding and management during the breeding period

The main results are as follows: 1. pheasants entering the breeding period are required to be rich in nutrition, especially the full supply of animal protein feed. After the beginning of egg laying, with the increase of egg production, the protein content gradually increases, and the crude protein content in feed during the peak laying period can reach 18%-20%. While the protein content increases, attention should also be paid to appropriately increasing the contents of various vitamins and trace elements.

2. Because the pheasant has a short domestication time and strong wildness, both male and female pheasants have the bad habit of pecking eggs, while the female pheasant has the characteristics of unstable egg-laying place and high egg-breaking rate, so eggs should be collected frequently, and all broken or leftover eggshells should be cleaned out of the circle in time to prevent the spread of egg-pecking addiction.

3. Maintain good and stable environmental conditions, and achieve "three determinations", that is, fixing people, timing and management procedures. The movement in and out of the pheasant house should be light, and the net room should be inspected and repaired frequently to prevent wild animals from frightening and harassing the pheasant flock; in summer, a shed should be built or plants such as towel gourd and beans with climbing vines should be planted next to the net room for shade, so as to avoid direct sunlight and ensure the normal sexual activities and mating times of breeding pheasants.

4. The laying time of breeding pheasants is mostly from 10:00 to 3 p.m. every day, accounting for 86.7% of the total number of eggs laid in the whole day. The duration of each egg for normal laying is 0.5 minutes. The breeding staff should pay attention to the dynamics of pheasant flocks and assist delivery in time when they find dystocia. The method is: first drop lubricant and glycerin into the cloaca, then fix both sides of the egg with the left hand, press the abdomen with the right hand and push forward to help take out the egg, the action should be light, this work needs two people to complete. As the cloacal cavity of the newborn mother pheasant carries blood, other pheasants will peck the anus when they see red, so it is necessary to observe the pheasants at any time and take timely measures to apply purple potion or black ink to the bleeding area, or to keep them in isolation.
