Key techniques of raising pheasants

The breeding eggs laid by hatched pheasants (also called pheasants) should be hatched as they are laid. Fewer eggs can be hatched by domestic chickens; more eggs can be hatched artificially. The incubation period of pheasants is 24 days. During the 1-20 days of the incubation period, the temperature should be controlled at 37.5 ℃, and the relative humidity should be controlled at 65% 70%. The 21-24 day hatching period is 37 ℃.

Brooding is mainly about controlling the temperature. The chicks aged from 1 to 3 days old, the optimum temperature was 34 ℃ ~ 35 ℃, 33 ℃ ~ 34 ℃ at 4 ~ 5 days old, 32 ℃ ~ 33 ℃ at 6 ~ 8 days old, 31 ℃ ~ 32 ℃ at 9 ~ 20 days old, and 26 ℃ ~ 28 ℃ at 21 ~ 60 days old. The chicks from 1 day to 10 days old should be illuminated continuously for 24 hours, and then decrease by 3 hours to 4 hours per week. Natural light can be used after 30 days of age. After coming out of the shell, the chicks drink 0.01% potassium permanganate solution before eating. Pheasants like snacks and should be fed multiple times. The feed is prepared with corn, bean cake, fish meal, wheat bran, cooked meat, bone meal, green feed and various trace additives. The crude protein content of feed should be more than 18%.

Adult chickens can be raised in cages or scattered in net houses. The structure of chicken cages used in cages is the same as that of domestic cages. Net house feeding should be equipped with perch, sink, material trough and egg laying box. The feed formula is 41% corn, 10% wheat bran, 19% bean cake, 15% fish meal, 10% green feed, 3% bone meal, 3% salt and 3% trace additives. Adult chickens grow fastest from 61 days to 120 days of age, and as commercial chickens, they are the most economical to sell around 120 days of age.
