What basic conditions should be considered for raising black-bone chickens?

Black-bone chicken, its ancestors from remote mountains, its reputation has won the hearts of the people, a more outstanding poultry. The black-bone chicken has a large body, a small head, a long neck, strong bones, well-developed muscles, black skin and a black film on the surface of the bones. Chicks that have just come out of their shells are hairy, and some people call them hairy-footed chickens. The black-bone rooster is tall, with immortal eyes, glossy feathers, orange-yellow back feathers, black tail feathers, plump adult hens, mostly yellowish brown feathers, some twist, white, black and so on.

The black-bone chicken is resistant to rough feeding, strong disease resistance and good fattening performance. the rooster is sexually mature at the age of 120 days, and the weight of the adult rooster is about 2.5 kg. The adult hen weighs about 1.8 kg and begins to lay at the age of 160-180 days. The annual egg production of adult hens is generally about 160.

The breeding of black-bone chickens takes into account many factors, and the environmental choice is exquisite, which should be conducive to raising chicks in houses that are warm in winter and cool in summer, 15 chickens per square meter in winter and 12 chickens per square meter in summer, and the number of chickens is determined by the area of the house and planned production. Try to choose the place where the forest and grass vegetation is good, there are many insects and ants, and the isolation conditions are good. It is possible to plant some fine forage grasses and miscellaneous grains such as sweet potato, corn, sorghum, wood department, pods and so on to make up for the feed of chickens. Forage grass can also be planted in a large area. Perennial forage is better to avoid sowing every year. At the same time, it requires more branches and tillers, strong regeneration, strong adaptability and good palatability. Suitable for grass species are forage grass, library wheat grass, chrysanthemum grass and so on. Prepare to graze mountains (orchards, rice fields, etc.) and make fences.

The construction of chicken coop should be made of adobe stone, wood, bamboo and so on. Whether the chicken house building is scientific and reasonable or not is directly related to the production capacity of broilers and the profit of raising chickens, so we must pay attention to it. If you want to build a new chicken farm, you should choose a place with dry terrain, good soil quality, north facing south and leeward facing the sun, which is conducive to winter heat preservation, seasonal ventilation, lighting and drainage. If you still want to expand the scale, there should be room for development.

It should be warm in winter and cool in summer. The fence can be made of barbed wire or bamboo, and the agricultural products that live and disperse and raise a small amount can not be fenced.

Water and electricity in chicken farms are necessary conditions in production. When selecting chicken farms, we must consider whether the electricity there can meet the needs of peak production. Can not be a long power outage, especially when raising chicks need temperature and light, power outages will cause chicks to die from low temperature. The water quality should be clean and pollution-free, preferably deep wells or sterilized tap water. Unsterilized river water, pond water or water containing excessive chloride ions should not be given to chickens to drink.

Chicken farms should be built 1 km or more away from villages or livestock and poultry farms to prevent the occurrence of infectious diseases. Individual chicken farmers should not set the chicken house in the frequent personnel or living areas in the past, it is best to have a small isolation section, in addition to the breeders, put an end to the entry and exit of outsiders.

Farmers raising black-bone chickens should also be based on local natural conditions, combined with their own economic capacity, to determine the breeding scale. How many chickens to raise, how big a chicken farm to run, make clear the nature and task of building the farm, and then select the site and plan the equipment and equipment of the chicken house. There are various types of buildings and equipment in chicken sheds. When selecting, we should consider not only to fully meet the needs of physiological characteristics of broilers, so as to make them grow rapidly and improve productivity, but also to consider durability, convenient feeding and management, and improve work efficiency.
