Breeding techniques of American partridges

Abstract: American partridge meat is tender and nutritious, and it is gradually entering the vegetable basket of the citizens. Partridge from shell to day-old, the average live weight can reach about 500 grams, generally raised for 70 days can be listed on the market, weight 350 to 400 grams, the ratio of feed to meat is 35: 1. The male-to-female ratio of breeding partridges is 2: 5, and the female lays 80 eggs / 100 eggs a year. The price of general commodity partridges is 1520 yuan each.

American partridge meat is tender and nutritious, and it is gradually entering the vegetable basket of the citizens. Partridge from shell to day-old, the average live weight can reach about 500 grams, generally raised for 70 days can be listed on the market, weight 350 to 400 grams, feed-to-meat ratio of 3.5 to 1. The male-to-female ratio of breeding partridges is 2: 5, and the female lays 80 eggs / 100 eggs a year. The price of general commodity partridges is 1520 yuan each. A commercial partridge can earn a net profit of 5 yuan and 10 yuan. The breeding techniques of American partridges are introduced as follows:

American partridge breeding equipment

The equipment of raising partridges is similar to that of raising chickens, because partridges can fly, so flat-raising partridges should set up net rooms to prevent them from escaping. At present, partridges are mainly raised in indoor cages. Whether raised in cages or flat, food hoppers or small wooden grooves should be used to facilitate the feeding of young partridges. The water fountain can be used as a small water fountain for raising chickens.

1. Nursery cages: there are single-layer or three-layer iron cages with a height of 64 cm, a width of 66 cm and a length of 2 meters. The middle cage is divided into two compartments, each grid is 1 meter, and 100 chicks can be raised. The height of each dung plate is 13 cm, the foot height is 42 cm, the mesh of wire bottom mesh is 2 cm, and the mesh is 1.5 cm × 1.5 cm. In the early stage, the bottom of the net is raised with linen cloth, and the linen cloth is taken out after 7 days. Change to 1.5 cm X 1.5 cm prismatic hard iron mesh. Generally use infrared bulb heat preservation, can also use multi-layer nursery cage, and use electric heating wire heat preservation.

2. The middle cage: the middle cage is generally 1.25 meters long, 50 centimeters high and 1.1 meters wide, and the barbed wire mesh is 1.5 centimeters by 1.5 centimeters. After the age of 50-60 days, the front and rear of the cage is made of No. 16 iron wire, each 2.5 cm apart, so that the partridge can reach out its head to drink and feed.

3. Species cage: the kind of cage is a layered iron cage, which is generally divided into three layers, each layer has a fecal plate, and the bottom of the net, such as the bottom structure of caged laying hens, is slightly tilted outward. After laying eggs, the breeding eggs slip off the bottom edge of the net to facilitate egg collection. Each cage is divided into 3'4 compartments, each with a specification of 40 cm (long) * 35 cm (high). There are 4 partridges, that is, 1 male and 3 females. The other specification is 90 cm (long) x 40 cm (wide) x 35 cm (high). There are 10 partridges with a male-to-female ratio of 1 to 4. The front and rear of the cage is made of 15 iron wires, each 2.5 cm apart, so as to facilitate the feeding and drinking of partridges. Species of partridges can also be raised, the general flat breeding house area of 18 to 20 square meters, external sports ground, 2 meters high, three sides with barbed wire, net top with iron net or fish net, can raise about 100 partridges.

Feed ratio of American partridge

1. The formula of Xiaoxiao diet: yellow corn 48%, wheat flour 3%, bean cake 34%, imported fish meal 12%, bone meal 1%, shell meal 1.1%, salt 0.4%, additive 0.5%.

2. Chinese partridge diet formula: yellow corn 50%, wheat flour 5%, bean cake 28%, wheat bran 5%, imported fish meal 8%, bone meal 1.5%, shell powder 1.6%, salt 0.4%, additive 0.5%.

3. The formula of adult partridge diet: yellow corn 53%, wheat flour 11%, bean cake 16%, wheat bran 9%, imported fish meal 5%, bone meal 3%, shell meal 2.1%, salt 0.4%, additive 0.5%.

4. The amount of trace elements and vitamin additives used by partridges should be 0.5 times higher than that of chickens. If partridges are raised on a small scale, chicken full-price granular feed can be selected, and multivitamin 5g / 50kg is added to the feed. Trace elements are added separately according to the instructions of the factory, and young partridges are required to add cooked eggs in the early stage to increase protein.

5. The amount of feed: 1 week 6 8 grams, 2 weeks age 8 12 grams, 3 weeks age 12 grams, 4 weeks age 14 grams, 5 weeks age 16 grams 23 grams, 6 weeks age 20 grams, 7 weeks age 23 grams, 8 weeks age 26 grams 29 grams, 9 weeks age 28 grams, 10 weeks age 30 grams, 10 weeks age 30 grams, 11 weeks age 32 grams, 12 weeks age 33 grams, 13 weeks age 34 grams. Let the partridges drink freely.
