Key points of four Seasons Management of Peacock Culture

Peacock is now a very hot special breeding project, peacock has a high ornamental value, and peacock meat also has a high nutritional value, China is now breeding peacock area is also growing, but breeding peacocks need to do a good job of breeding management, especially in adulthood, each season has a different management method, the following to recommend peacock breeding four seasons management points.

1. Spring management

The temperature in spring gradually rises, the light time will also increase, the peacock will gradually recover vitality, improve the metabolism speed of new growth in the body, spring is a season with large egg production, but also the best time for breeding and hatching. In spring, we should strengthen management, improve the proportion of protein, vitamins and other nutrients in the feed, meet the nutritional requirements of peacock eggs, and in order to ensure the healthy growth of peacocks and prolong the egg laying period, we should also increase the proportion of concentrated green feed, prevent soft eggs or peacocks from lacking nutrition and appearing cartilage disease, ensure that there is water in the sink at all times, regularly clean grass and feces, and prevent damage to breeding eggs.

II. Summer management

The temperature in summer gradually rises. In the hottest season of the year, high temperature and high humidity are very unfavorable to the growth of peacocks. Peacock activities will decrease due to high temperature, appetite will decrease, food intake will also decrease seriously. Due to insufficient food intake, peacocks will not have sufficient nutrition to lay eggs. Egg production will also decrease, and finally they will stop laying eggs. Therefore, cooling work should be done well in summer to prevent excessive temperature from affecting peacock growth. Appropriate ventilation should be provided. Then increase the proportion of green feed, pay attention to the proportion of green feed, do not feed moldy and deteriorated feed.

III. Autumn Management

Autumn weather is cooler, but the temperature will gradually drop, the light time will be shortened, and autumn is the peacock molting period, so in autumn, to reduce the proportion of oil feed, it is best not to feed, and then when the peacock molting can be forced to molt, this can reduce the peacock molting period, and the quality of feathers will also be improved, and then control the factors of water, feed and light to change the peacock growth environment, to ensure that all peacocks molt neatly, Zinc oxide additive can be properly fed, so that peacocks can accelerate molting speed after about a week, when half of the feathers can be plucked or automatically shed, to stop feeding.

IV. Winter management

Because peacocks are weak after autumn molting, we need to supplement nutrition for peacocks at this time to restore the growth of peacocks, and the temperature in winter is very low. We also need to do a good job in cold protection and warmth. We should lay grass in the breeding house, and then use warming facilities if conditions permit. We should also pay attention to ventilation when keeping warm to ensure fresh air and promote the growth of peacocks. Finally, we should restore the feeding of oil feed in the feed. Before production, we should also do a good job in disease prevention and pest control.

The above is a simple introduction to the four seasons management points of peacock, and the four seasons management of peacock is very important. Because different temperatures and different environments in different seasons will have different effects on peacocks, it is necessary to adjust management methods reasonably to ensure the growth of peacocks.
