Peacock breeding techniques: what are the advantages and disadvantages of raising peacocks on hillsides?

Peacock is a famous special bird breed. After successful breeding by a peacock breeding company in Guangzhou, it has developed to Zhuhai, Conghua, Shenzhen, Yunnan, Shanghai and other places. So can peacocks be raised on hillsides? What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising peacocks on hillsides?

What are the advantages and disadvantages of raising peacocks on hillsides?

1. Advantages of breeding peacocks on hillsides.

(1) can simulate wild environment

The selection requirements of the peacock farm are the same as those of domestic chickens, and the site is best chosen on a hillside with a quiet environment, shady trees, slightly inclined terrain, half sand and half soil. Shrubs and grasses should be planted in the site to make the green grass in the activity ground into patches. The advantage of this is that it can simulate the wild environment as far as possible to facilitate the domestication and breeding of peacocks.

(2) simple and easy, labor-saving and material-saving.

Do not need to engage in capital construction, connect a wire to install a lamp, spread a piece of plastic sheeting can, simple and easy.

(3) Peacocks are applicable at any time.

From a nutritional point of view, peacocks on hillsides eat all animal protein, so they grow fast, have plump feathers, have strong disease resistance, lay more eggs and have good meat quality. they are pure natural green food and have strong competitiveness in the market.

(4) to eliminate pests and improve agricultural ecological environment.

Under the attraction of light at night, some agricultural pests and life pests fly in for peacocks to feed, which not only purifies the environment but also develops the peacock breeding industry, and makes the natural ecology develop to a virtuous circle.

2. Shortcomings of breeding peacocks on hillsides.

(1) it is not conducive to epidemic prevention and infectious diseases are rampant.

Due to the extensive nature of stocking, peacocks can not prevent epidemic one by one like caged peacocks, drinking water immunization can not effectively cut off water, and even some stocking households give up drinking water immunity, resulting in widespread infectious diseases, unable to stop or even aggravate parasitic diseases.

(2) easy to pesticide poisoning.

Although the stocking plots do not spray pesticides, it is impossible for other farmers in adjacent plots to give up spraying pesticides in their fields. Secondary poisoning caused by poisoned insects crossing the screen and being fed by peacocks before death often occurs.

Second, what are the peacock culture techniques?

1. Site selection

Select flat or slightly sloping flat land and build the field to the south or southeast. It requires sufficient sunshine, high and dry terrain, good drainage, adequate and clean drinking water sources, and non-polluting sandy loam or yellow mud plots.

2. Yard buildings

(1) hatchery: isolated from the outside world, staff and appliances must be disinfected, keep a stable microclimate and good ventilation, and keep the indoor air fresh. Set up egg testing room, disinfection room, egg storage room, hatching room, nestling room, washing room, chick storage room and so on.

(2) nestling room: it is divided into two parts: indoor brooding and outdoor brooding, indoor breeding chicks before 20 days old. Use angle iron and other materials to build a frame, each 250 × 200cm. Bottom high 80cm, inner high 2cm, bottom and surrounding 50cm, electric welding net with 1.5x1.5cm, and the rest with glue net or fishnet. The chicks of 20-60 days old were raised outdoors. The area of the fence house is 5 × 10m, half indoor and outdoor, indoor height 4m, covered with asbestos tiles, indoor and outdoor bamboo frame for peacocks to inhabit.

(3) breeding peacock fence: the size of the fence house depends on the size, the indoor area accounts for about 1 50cm, the net height is 3, and bamboo frames are built both indoor and outdoor for peacocks to inhabit. 20 peacocks were bred every 100c.

(4) Peacock fence: 1 male and 2-5 females are raised in each column. The size of the fence is 5 × 10 m, half indoor and outdoor.

3. Feed and formula

(1) Feed: concentrate includes corn, wheat, wheat bran, sorghum, bean cake, soybean, etc., animal feed includes fish meal, bone and meat meal, miscellaneous fish, etc., green and succulent feed includes green vegetables, green forage grass, wild vegetables and so on. The dosage accounts for 20% of the diet, 30% of the diet, additives with a variety of vitamins, trace elements and amino acids, constant or double dosage.

(2) formula (%): Peacock: corn 30, whole wheat meal 10, wheat bran 2.6, sorghum 3, soybean cake 25, soybean meal 1, fish meal 12, yeast 5, bone meal 1, shell meal 1, salt 0.4; breeding peacocks: corn 38, whole wheat meal 10, wheat bran 4.6, sorghum 3, soybean cake 21, soybean meal 8, fish meal 10, yeast 3, bone meal 1, shell meal 1, salt 0.4 Adult peacocks: corn 60, wheat bran 8.5, bean cake 18, fish meal 8, yeast 3, shell meal 2, salt 0.5; species peacocks: corn 48, whole wheat meal 5, wheat bran 5, sorghum 2, soybean cake 20, soybean meal 5, fish meal 8, yeast 2, bone meal 2, shell meal 2.5, salt 0.5. After the above formula feed is prepared, 20g of various vitamins and 100g of trace elements are added to each 100kg, and a variety of vitamins and compound trace element additives of chicken can be used.

4. Prevention and control of epidemic diseases

Peacocks are susceptible to coccidiosis and white dysentery. Under the conditions of good cleaning, hygiene and disinfection, drugs should be used to prevent the corresponding epidemic diseases of chickens, and vaccination of infectious diseases such as Newcastle disease should be done to prevent infectious diseases.
