Breeding Technology of Camellia Chicken

Camellia chicken is the wild ancestor of domestic chicken, also known as Hongyuan chicken, original chicken, etc., living in groups in tropical forests and secondary bamboo forests below 1000 meters above sea level. Eat plant fruits, seeds, tender bamboo, leaves and various wild flower petals, as well as termites, termite eggs, worms, young moths, and so on. Let's take a look at the breeding techniques of Camellia chicken.

Breeding characteristics of Camellia Chicken

1. Strong adaptability: Camellia chicken is not only suitable for breeding in tropical and subtropical areas, but also has good adaptability to alpine areas. it can be raised all over the country in all seasons of the year.

2. Extensive feeding: Camellia chicken has strong disease resistance and less disease. the original chickens over 1 month old can be scattered on the edge of the field and let them look for food freely. The demand for the external environment is not high, all kinds of grain crops can be fed, and can be matched with green plants.

3. Low feed intake: Camellia chicken has light body weight and low feed intake. From birth to 2 months old, the average daily feed intake of each chicken is less than 30 grams, and the meat-to-feed ratio is 1Ru 2.5.

4. High survival rate: the fertilization rate of Camellia eggs is 89.95%, the hatching rate of fertilized eggs is 90%, the incubation period of breeding eggs is 21 days, and the survival rate of brooding is about 98%.

Management of Camellia Chicken

1. Temperature: the temperature in the rearing room was 3334 ℃ from day 1 to day 3, and then decreased day by day by 1 ℃ per week. It was suitable for chicks to be evenly distributed without stacking. The temperature is too low, the chicken is stacked on the edge of the heat source, resulting in crushing to death, the temperature is too high, the chicken is far away from the heat source, open mouth breathing, sweating. The thermal insulation heat source can use infrared lamp, electric heating pipe and so on.

2. Feeding: drink water with 1/10000 potassium permanganate before eating. 2-3 hours and then feed full-price chicken feed, open to provide enough water, let them freely eat and drink.

3. Density: 60 per square meter, which gradually decreases with the increase of age. If the cushion is wet, it should be replaced in time.

4. Disease prevention: mainly prevent white dysentery and coccidiosis. 2/1000 oxytetracycline or 2000 units of penicillin and streptomycin can be used to drink water, exchanged every 3 days.

Adult Chicken Management in Camellia Chicken

1. Captive breeding: captive breeding is the use of chicken sheds with playground feeding, feed and green plants. As the original chicken still retains the habit of wild original chicken falling in love with trees, some perches should be built in chicken coops and sports grounds for chickens to jump and perch.

2. Free breeding: use orchards and woodlands to put chickens in them, and build some simple sheds to protect chickens from wind and rain, shade and cold. By using this method, in addition to proper supplementary feeding, chickens are allowed to feed on insects and weeds, which will greatly improve the quality and sales price of commercial chickens, and at the same time greatly reduce the diseases and diseases in fruit woodland, and chicken manure has become a good organic fertilizer in woodland.

Management of Camellia Chicken breeder

1. Feeding: breeder chickens must choose chickens with individual health, outstanding breeds and strong physique, and feed them in a limited amount after 100 days of age, only once a day with a crude protein content of 13%. When they enter the laying period at the age of 5 months, they are gradually fed with breeder feed, allowing them to feed freely, adding appropriate amount of layers every 3 days, taking it for 3 days, and adding choline chloride, minerals, etc., to feed more green feed.

2. Density: during the breeding and management of Camellia breeder chickens, the density should be adjusted to 5: 7 / m2, the male-to-female ratio is 1: 6: 8, and artificial light should be added gradually, increasing by half an hour per week until the light hours are 16: 18 hours.
