biological characteristics

Partridge in animal taxonomy belongs to vertebrate phylum, bird class, gallinaceous order, pheasant family, partridge genus, wild mainly produced in Duzhou, Yunnan, Guangdong, Guangxi, Hainan, Fujian, Zhiwan and other places, in addition to Zhejiang, Anhui, Shandong and other distribution. Foreign countries are mainly distributed in India, Thailand, Myanmar, Vietnam and other places. Partridge forehead has a strip, across the eyes, down to the neck, shaped like a chest towel, chest, back and more silver gray, wings have a number of black stripes, mouth, feet orange. The body length is about 34-38cm, the male chicken weighs 550-650g, and the female chicken weighs 400-550g.

When singing, it often stands on the branches of the mountain peak, and its singing is special. During the day, they feed in groups in shrubs or in adjacent crop fields. Their staple food is plant seeds, berries, tender branches and leaves, mosses, lichens, and insects. It begins to breed in late April and early May, nesting in grass or shrub rocks.

Breeding grounds and facilities

In the south of our country, can use simple livestock house, poultry house, even under open-air conditions can also raise, in the temperature difference is large area, should use closed type Gu house.

1. Partridge farm and partridge house building

500-1000 partridge per batch is suitable for family rearing, and the house area is 15-25 square meters. Partridge houses can also use idle houses, or other livestock houses, warehouse houses, but also can invest in the construction of a considerable scale of intensive, factory partridge farms. New partridge farms should pay attention to several points:

① Partridge farm should choose a place with guaranteed water and electricity supply, convenient transportation, far away from residential areas and ideal ecological environment without pollution.

② Partridge house requires sitting north facing south, ventilated and dry. Partridge house top 3m high, open front and rear windows, in order to make full use of natural ventilation, if necessary, should be installed ventilation fan, because partridge growth and development fast, the house produces harmful gases, if not discharged in time will seriously affect its growth and development, causing greater economic losses.

3. The building of Gushe shall incorporate heatstroke prevention and cooling, moisture removal, cold prevention and thermal insulation facilities into its design. Partridge has a certain adaptability to temperature changes, and can withstand high temperatures of 35-36℃. In summer, fruit trees with high economic value can be planted in advance in the south of the house for shade or shelter, timely ventilation and moisture removal; in winter, the windows in the north shall be strictly blocked, and the door of the house shall be hung with cold-proof curtain. The stove and fire pipe can be used to heat up the house. When building the house in the north, the thickness of the north wall shall be thickened for cold protection and warmth.

④ Cement floor shall be used in the guesthouse to facilitate cleaning, epidemic prevention and disinfection and to facilitate dehumidification and moisture prevention.

2. Partridge breeding facilities

1)Brood equipment: mainly including heating, feeding, water supply and lighting equipment.

① brood warmer. Can buy brood chicken brood insulation umbrella, a brood insulation umbrella can raise 1-25 days old brood 150-200, can also be self-made brood warmer brood brood. The brood warmer can be made of local materials, that is, wood is made into a frame with a length of 1.2 m, a width of 0.6 m and a height of 0.4 m, and fiberboard is used as the two side walls, the rear wall and the top of the frame. A 200w infrared lamp is installed at the top of the warmer. Iron gauze net is installed in front of the frame, and a movable door is arranged in the middle of the frame, the width of the door is 0.15m, the height is 0.2m, and the iron gauze net is installed on the door frame. The bottom net is made of spot-welded wire mesh of 1cm square, and the lower part of the bottom net is equipped with a excrement bearing plate made of iron sheet or plywood or fiberboard. Warmers foot height 0.2cm. This kind of home-made brooding warmer can raise 80-100 brooding chickens of 1-25 days old each.

(2) Re-build brooding warm cage. Partridge farms and large-scale breeding households can use drawer overlapping brood warm cage. The cage is 1.8m high, 1.2m long and 0.6m wide. The surrounding structure is basically similar to that of brood warmer. Small angle irons are installed on both sides of the cage frame from top to bottom according to the distance of 0.38m and 0.08m as guide rails of the four-layer movable cage and the feces tray. Specifications of movable cage: width 1.16m, depth 0.6m, height 0.38m, its structure can be improved according to brood warmer, and lamp holder installed on the side wall, using different bulbs to adjust temperature and lighting. 80-100 broilers aged 1-25 days were raised in each cage.

③ Drinking water, food trough. The size of drinking water containers and food troughs is different due to their different growth stages. Newborn partridge drinking water container, can be used as a flat-bottomed plastic dish chassis, covered with a diameter smaller than the chassis 2-3cm plastic bowl composition. Drill a 0.4cm diameter hole near the lower edge of the bowl. The upper edge of the hole should not be higher than the upper edge of the chassis, so as not to overflow the chassis water. Two drinking fountains are arranged in a brood incubator. After 10 days of age, the drinking trough should be replaced. Its specifications are 20cm long, 6 cm wide and 3.5 cm high. A 1.5cm square wire mesh cover is installed above the sink to prevent contaminants such as feces from polluting drinking water and preventing chicks from drowning in the tank. After 25 days of age partridge drinking water, its specifications should be larger to meet the needs of drinking water. Broiler can be purchased free drinking water, cage can be in the cage external drinking tank or drinking bottle. Newborn gugu trough, can choose brood trough, food plate, also can use wood, iron sheet or bamboo self-made, its height is 3cm, self-made trough food plate installed 1.5cm square wire mesh cover, so as to avoid feces or dirt pollution feed, and prevent gugu beak, claw feed dig out of the trough. A brood warmer has 2-3 food trays or 2 food troughs. After 25 days old partridge trough, vegetable can choose chicken feed plate, cage can be installed outside the feed trough (chicken trough can be replaced).

2)Meat partridge equipment: Chick in the brood incubator feeding 25-30 days later, can be moved into the meat partridge cage, feeding until the market. Raising broilers and broilers is similar, that is, there are two ways to raise them in captivity and in peace. General chicken equipment can be used to raise chickens.

① meat chicken cage, width 1.5m, depth 0.75m, height 0.6m, the best choice of production materials barbed wire, bamboo can also be used. Cages are generally 2-3 layers, and movable feces trays need to be installed between layers. Cage hanging trough and drinking water, trough can choose chicken trough, also available iron, bamboo homemade, drinking water trough or can bottle. Each meat partridge cage can generally raise 40-50 partridge of 25-50 days old, and 25 partridge of 50 days old can be raised before listing.
