How to raise peacocks? Introduction to breeding and management of peacocks!

Peacock is a kind of rare bird, the main species are divided into green peacock, blue peacock and other two species, as well as mutated white peacock, in which blue peacock is mainly the object of artificial breeding, blue peacock contains very high protein and low fat content. now peacock breeding has gradually become a new type of breeding project, so how to breed peacocks? Introduction to breeding and management of peacocks!

I. the period of rearing

The breeding period of peacocks is relatively short, usually about 2 months. In order to ensure the survival rate of young peacocks, the young peacocks are usually farmed artificially. The young peacocks within three weeks use the method of cage breeding and pay attention to the specifications of the breeding cages. Ensure that each young peacock has sufficient growth space, and then the temperature of the breeding cage should be controlled according to different ages. For example, the temperature should be controlled at about 35-37 degrees within 10 days. Then the temperature is about 27 degrees in the last 10 days, and the temperature is controlled at about 25 degrees in January, and the humidity should be controlled at about 65%. Then pay attention to the amount of feed and the proportion of nutrients, control the feeding density, and do a good job of disease prevention and insect repellent.

II. Breeding period

The peacock in the breeding period refers to the growth period from two months to two years. During the breeding period, attention should be paid to the area of the breeding room, which should include a lounge, sports ground, etc., and an appropriate amount of habitat should be set up in the playground to provide habitat for peacocks, pay attention to feeding density, because the size of peacocks becomes larger, so it is necessary to reduce the number of breeding in each group, no more than 20 in each group, and then control the feed input. During the breeding period, the feed is mainly pure pellet feed, supplemented by green feeding, should not be fed too much, at least twice a day, and then pay attention to observe the peacock's body weight. if it is for meat, it can be listed when the body weight reaches about 8 jin in 8 months.

III. Adult years

Adulthood refers to peacocks that have grown for more than two years and can reproduce normally. At this time, attention should be paid to the male-female ratio of peacocks. A male peacock can be planted with about 4 peacocks, and then the area of the peacock house is controlled at about 15 square meters. Tall trees are properly planted in the playground for shade. Feeding should be based on the principle of timing and quantity, to ensure quiet around the feeding house and to do a good job of cleaning. Adult peacocks have different management methods in each season because of different temperature and environment in each season, for example, in summer, high temperature and rainy, high humidity, so the peacock's food intake will be greatly reduced, egg production will also be affected, and gradually stop, at this time to increase concentrate and green feeding. Do not feed moldy feed, do a good job of heat prevention and cooling.

IV. Breeding period

Under the condition of artificial breeding, the breeding period of peacocks will be advanced appropriately, and the laying period will also be prolonged. The time of sexual maturity of peacocks is about two years. Each female peacock can lay about 32 eggs a year. When entering the breeding period, it is necessary to make a good combination of populations, select peacocks with strong growth and free of diseases and insect pests, do not inbreeding, and control the mating times of each male peacock. Each male peacock should be kept at about 5 times, not too much or too little, too much will affect the fertilization rate, too low will hurt the body of the female peacock, when in estrus to ensure a quiet environment, improve the fertilization rate, about half a month after successful breeding will lay eggs.

The above is a brief introduction of the breeding and management technology of peacocks by Tuliu. the feeding and management of peacocks is relatively tedious, but its production period is maintained for about 5 years. In addition, the feeding and management methods of peacocks in adulthood will vary with the seasons.
