Five key steps for fattening pheasants

1. Fair feeding: those fed with raw grains can appropriately increase the feeding proportion of energy feeds such as corn and sorghum (recommended formula: 15% of wheat, 40% of corn, 15% of rapeseed cake, 5% of wheat bran, 4% of rice bran, 20% of fried peas, 1% of bone meal, and 2.5 kg of salt and an appropriate amount of trace elements per ton). If you buy domestic chicken feed, you can buy broiler growth feed for feeding. Ensure adequate drinking water, in addition, 10% Murray 20% green fodder can be added. At least once a week, spray 2% trichlorfon solution into the river sand to kill the ectoparasite.

2. control density: at the initial stage (5-11 weeks old), 10-12 birds per square meter are raised, and then they can be raised in groups according to strength, male and female, and size, so that the density is gradually reduced to 6-8 birds per square meter. At the same time, enough troughs should be set up for average feeding and consistent growth.

3. Set up a perch to prevent pecking: a perch should be placed inside and outside the fattening pheasant house for pheasants to perch and rest, which not only makes full use of the breeding space, but also helps to reduce pecking. In high-density breeding, pheasants are prone to feather pecking, anal pecking and so on. If a pheasant with pecking injury is found, it should be raised, and the wound should be coated with purple lotion or camphor ointment and raised in isolation. Regulate the pheasant flock if necessary:

1) hang grass or vegetables in the house to induce pheasants to peck vegetables and distract their energy from feather pecking, as well as adding cellulose and vitamins

2) at the age of 9-11 weeks, 1% feather meal can be added to the feed.

3) increase the salt in the feed to 2.5%, or add salt to the drinking water and ensure an adequate water supply. Of course, in order to avoid pecking injury, it is also important to cut off the beak at the embryonic stage.

4. Flight prevention: keep the venue as quiet as possible and refuse to visit, so as to reduce the influence of external factors. In order to prevent startled flying from being hit or killed, one side of the pheasant's low-level flying feathers can be cut off; the net house building should not be too high.

5. Do a good job of epidemic prevention: the pheasant house should be cleaned every day, and the enclosure should be disinfected once a week with disinfectants such as permethrin. At the age of 8-9 weeks, they were vaccinated with Newcastle disease Ⅱ vaccine in drinking water (2 times of the injection dosage). In case of continuous rainy weather during the fattening period, 0.04% oxytetracycline or other antibiotics should be added to the feed to prevent the occurrence of avian cholera or coccidiosis.
