Precautions for raising native chickens in mountain forests

Large area mountain forest stocking native chicken, chicken can effectively control forest pests, the manure produced can provide high-quality organic fertilizer for forest growth, save feed cost, fertilizer cost and pest prevention and control costs, forming a good ecological cycle. The matters needing attention for stocking native chickens in large areas of mountain forests are as follows:

Trees should not be too lush, too much shade is not conducive to chicken crown coloring (because native chickens pay most attention to appearance quality when listing), should be chosen in the place where the trees are relatively sparse, or thinning some trees, artificially transform the breeding environment.

The mountain forest area is larger, the vegetation inside is generally more luxuriant, and the ecological environment is also relatively intact. It is inevitable that there will be some carnivorous wild animals and birds of prey such as wild cats, foxes, weasels, wild dogs and eagle harrier in the forest. To take precautions in this respect, the enclosure should be more solid, and it is a small matter to be eaten by a few of these things, especially at night, a guy like this suddenly breaks into the chicken pen. Chickens will be frightened, resulting in trampling on a lot of chickens, causing unnecessary losses.

Do not think that the large area of stocked woodland ignores the damage of chickens to the ecological environment of the mountain forest. In fact, when the number of chickens is too large or raised for a long time, the damage of chickens to the surrounding ecological environment can not be ignored, especially in the areas with poor self-regulation ability of ecological environment. Should be out of each batch of chickens, it is necessary to let the venue for an appropriate period of rest, and then let the next batch of chickens in, the implementation of rotational grazing. Of course, we need to build more enclosures for rotation.

At the same time, we should also pay attention to chicken immunity and site disinfection, do not think that the site is lenient and ignore these most fundamental preventive measures, once a link is not in place, the consequences will make you lose a lot of money.
