There is a skill in raising meat pigeons to increase efficiency.

1. Take a bath. Give meat pigeons a water bath 2 or 3 times a month, choose a sunny day with a warmer temperature at noon, and add 0.1% potassium permanganate solution to the bath water, which can make the pigeons clean and full of vitality.

2. Cut your wings. 4-5 hours after coming out of the shell, the meat pigeon is cut at 0.5 cm at the base of the wing with sharp scissors, and quickly burn the wound with a hot iron to stop bleeding, and then put it back into the cage to raise (to keep quiet, avoid shock), so that its weight gain can be accelerated. According to the experiment, under the same feeding and management conditions, the average weight of each young pigeon raised by cutting wings after coming out of the shell was 750 grams, and the heaviest one was 940 grams, which reached the maximum weight of adult meat pigeons, while the average weight of meat pigeons raised without cutting wings after 28 days was about 600 grams, and the heaviest was 720 grams, which was 150 grams and 220 grams less than that of meat pigeons raised by cutting wings respectively.

3. Pad the pine needle. Use fresh pine needles to make pigeon house bedding, often updated, can play a role in health care, can effectively prevent the occurrence of pigeon pox and pigeon feather lice.

4. Feed less and eat more. Pigeons have an obvious characteristic when they eat: the more feed they are fed, the more wasteful they are. The traditional practice of feeding twice a day causes this kind of waste. In view of this phenomenon, the method of "feeding less and eating more" can be adopted to feed pigeons 3 or 4 times a day, each time the amount of feed is less than before, so that the waste of feed can be effectively prevented, thus reducing the cost.

5. Feed rhubarb soda tablets. Add an appropriate amount of mung beans to the feed and regularly put in Chinese herbal medicine such as rhubarb soda tablets (1 tablet at a time) to effectively prevent heatstroke.
