Does turtledove protect animals?

Wild turtledoves are generally protected animals and are not allowed to be sold. Wild turtledoves are three protected animals, that is, terrestrial wild animals protected by the state or of important economic and scientific research value. the protected turtledoves are European turtledoves, mountain turtledoves, gray turtledoves, bead-necked turtledoves, brown turtledoves, fire turtledoves and so on.

Nutritional value of turtledove

The nutritional value of turtledove is comparable to that of turtle. Among all kinds of meat, turtledove meat is the most rich in protein, but the fat content is very low, and the digestion and absorption rate is as high as 95%. Compared with chicken, fish, beef and mutton, turtledove meat is also rich in vitamin A, vitamin B1, vitamin B2, vitamin E and hematopoietic trace elements, which has a great tonifying function for postpartum women, post-operative patients and people with anemia. Folk prescriptions use turtledoves as medicine combined with other drugs to treat dizziness, gynecological diseases and so on.

Culture technology of turtledove

1. The establishment site: the sunny sloping land with good ventilation, dry and high terrain should be selected to set up high-altitude cages with an area of 40 square meters and a height of 2.5 meters. The cages are made of bamboo and tied with plastic nets. A 1 square meter bird shed is built in the cage for turtledove shelter from rain on rainy days and sun shelter in summer. The cage of the bird breeding site should be 1.5 meters above the ground, use bamboo or branches to make fake trees and build artificial bird nests to facilitate turtledoves to lay eggs.

2. Select breeding birds: 10-month-old adult birds, which are large, strong and disease-free, are selected as breeding birds and raised alone. Protein, lecithin and calcium should be added to the feed to facilitate reproduction.

3. Hatching and hatching: wild breeding birds usually mate and lay eggs in spring and autumn. Artificial breeding can use the method of artificial injection of estrogen into female birds to promote their short-term estrus and lay eggs every month. The postpartum eggs are collected and put into an incubator for artificial hatching. In the process of hatching, the temperature and relative humidity should be adjusted to ensure that the shell rate is more than 98%.

4. Nestling management: nestlings should pay attention to keep warm and drink water in time when they are just hatched. 2/10000 potassium permanganate solution was selected as drinking water and replaced every 4 hours. After the nestling comes out of its shell, it is generally 6 to 8 hours to have foraging behavior, it is best to choose small, digestible food such as millet or broken rice, or chick pellet feed. After 1 week, 20% of beneficial seeds, rice and other plant seeds can be added to the feed ratio.

5. Timely disease prevention: due to the high density of artificial breeding and easy infection of diseases, we should do a good job in cleaning the cages, disinfect them regularly, clean up feces in time, and prevent diseases regularly. Diseased birds should be isolated and treated, dead birds should be buried or burned, and all birds in the cage should be disinfected.

What are the species of turtledoves?

1. European turtledove: European turtledove is a slightly smaller pink-brown turtledove with black-and-white fine striated patches on the neck, dark brown wing coverings and light brown scaly spots.

There was a high-frequency "poof" sound during takeoff. In pairs or alone activities, mostly in open farming areas, villages and front and back houses, around monasteries, or near small ditches, feed on the ground, mostly with cereals.

3. Grey turtledoves: grey turtledoves belong to "Sanyou" protected animals, with a medium size of 32 centimeters. They are birds of the genus Pigeon family, which are widely distributed, but the population is rare and uncommon.
