It is also good to raise chickens in farmland. The new concept of ecological breeding is more secure.

Raising chickens in farmland is indeed a good idea, if the appropriate collocation of field crops and chickens can not only increase planting income, but also green environmental protection, achieve ecological balance, the two harmonious symbiosis situation. For example, raising chickens and ducks in fruit trees is something I have seen in my hometown. In summer, chickens enjoy the cool under the fruit trees, and chicken manure can fatten the fruit trees. Not only can fruit trees achieve planting benefits, but also additional economic benefits can be obtained in terms of breeding. The following ecological aquaculture and traditional farming to do a comparison between the two hope to have a more intuitive understanding.

Traditional culture

Relying on farms is convenient for intensive and large-scale farming, which is the advantage of traditional farming. Through the combination of prefabricated feed, to provide a full range of nutrition supply for the farmed chickens, to achieve rapid growth and development, and large-scale aquaculture is very conducive to management, such as epidemic prevention and temperature control are relatively easy. The growth rate of farmed chickens is generally fast in 80 or 90 days, which is also better than that of free-range chickens.

However, due to the less activity of traditional farmed chickens, the disease resistance ability is also very poor, and the disease resistance ability is much worse than that of free-raised chickens. And the meat quality is much worse than that of free-range chicken, so it is not as popular as free-range chicken in the market. The antibiotics contained in chicken feed are something that many consumers fear.

Ecological breeding

Although the symbiotic ecological farming method of "pheasant" grows slowly, it also has its advantages. On the one hand, it can achieve ecological benefits, and crops and chickens complement each other to improve economic benefits. Second, the reduction of diseases and insect pests is not only reflected in crops, the disease capacity of chickens will also be greatly reduced, due to the activity capacity and the wide range of breeding sites, even if diseases and insect pests will not spread on a large scale, reducing the spread of infectious diseases.

Although the symbiosis of "pheasants" can achieve good benefits, we should also pay attention to some problems, such as the reasonable matching of crops and chickens, such as growing vegetables, it is not suitable to raise chickens in the field. it is difficult to sell fresh vegetable leaves or fruit chickens after pecking. Choose some crops with tall plants, such as corn and fruit trees, which are more suitable for symbiosis. In addition, attention should be paid to field management, such as timely cleaning of chicken manure in the field to avoid the risk of epidemic diseases. The way of symbiotic breeding of pheasants is that chickens are active in the field most of the time, and the probability of being infected with germs and diseases is relatively high, so it is necessary to do a good job of epidemic prevention.

The above are some of the views on raising chickens in the field shared by Science for you. I hope it will be helpful to you, and you are welcome to consult.
