Preparation of homing pigeon feed

The rational preparation of diet is the key to meet the various nutritional needs of pigeons and ensure their normal growth. Only by feeding full-price diet can the health and production performance of pigeons be maintained. The preparation of diets must be based on the feeding standards and the table of common feed nutrients, and the dietary coordination scheme must be determined according to the actual situation of pigeons and the existing feed varieties. The following problems should be paid attention to when preparing diets:

? The quality of raw materials is good

It is best not to use feed that has been stored for too long, and resolutely do not use raw materials that are rancidity, mildew and deterioration.

Low price

Feed can not only meet the nutritional needs of pigeons, but also reduce the cost.

? Good palatability

There are two reasons that affect the palatability of feed.

1. The feed itself, such as sorghum, contains tannin, its palatability is poor.

two。 Processing and modulation, particle size will have an impact on pigeons of different ages.

? Variety

Only with a variety of feed varieties can we achieve the complementarity of various nutrients and achieve the purpose of full-price nutrition.

? Suitable water content

Excessive moisture affects storage and makes ingredients inaccurate. Strict proportion

Pigeon feed should be strictly measured in accordance with the requirements of the feed formula and matched according to the prescribed proportion.

? Relatively stable

The matching diet should be relatively stable, and if the raw material needs to be changed, it must be changed step by step to avoid changing stress.

Rational preparation

The feeding purpose of homing pigeon is different from that of meat pigeon, so there are some differences in dietary coordination. A pigeon needs about 3 grams of protein, 12 grams of sugars, 2 grams of fat and a small amount of vitamins and minerals. As for ingredient methods, there are two kinds of ingredients: trial and error and computer ingredients. The trial and error method is applicable to family pigeon farming or small pigeon farms.
