Establishment of sites

The net cage should be erected on sunny slope with good ventilation, dry and high terrain. Net cage area of 40 square meters to 60 square meters, 2.5 meters to 3 meters high, with bamboo frame, tied to plastic nets. A bird shed of 1 m2 was built in the cage for turtledove to shelter from rain and sun in summer. The cage of bird breeding site should be 1.5 meters ~2 meters above the ground. Artificial trees should be made of bamboo or branches, and artificial nests should be set up to facilitate turtledove spawning.

Selection of breeding birds

Select large, healthy, disease-free 10-month-old adult birds as breeding birds, raised alone. In the feed should be added to contain protein, lecithin and calcium food, in order to facilitate reproduction.

breeding brood

Breeding wild birds generally spring and autumn mating eggs. Artificial breeding can be used female artificial injection of estrogen method, promote its short-term estrous, can make monthly eggs.

Incubation The eggs are collected and placed in an incubator for artificial incubation. During incubation, the temperature and relative humidity should be adjusted to ensure that the hatching rate is above 98%.

Nestling management nestlings just hatched should pay attention to keep warm, timely drinking water. Choose potassium permanganate solution with concentration of 2/10,000 as drinking water and change it every 4 hours. After hatching, chicks generally have foraging behavior for 6 hours to 8 hours. It is best to choose small, digestible foods such as millet or broken rice, or use pellet feed for chicks. After 1 week, 20% of seeds of various plants such as seeds and rice can be added to the feed ratio.

timely prevention of disease

Due to the high density of artificial culture and easy infection of diseases, the cage should be cleaned, disinfected regularly, cleaned up feces in time, and epidemic prevention should be carried out regularly. Sick birds should be isolated for treatment, dead birds should be buried or burned, and all birds in the cage should be disinfected.

timely sale
