There are many advantages of raising pheasants in cages

In recent years, the introduction of American colorful pheasant in China has been promoted rapidly, mainly by using two methods of ground free breeding and captive breeding. Later, some people changed to captivity and captivity for cage breeding, cage length 3 meters, width 0.7 meters, height 1.5 meters, a total of three layers of four cells, each cell raised 8-9, a group of cages can raise about 100. Practice has proved that cage breeding is more beneficial than free breeding and captive breeding. Summing up experience, cage breeding has six advantages.

1. Less land

Free breeding can generally raise 4-5 per square meter, such as raising 100 only need to occupy about 30 square meters; switch to cage breeding only one group of cages, covering less than 3 square meters.

II. Provincial Investment

To build a chicken house that can keep 100 chickens in free range requires an investment of 3000 yuan according to the lowest cost of electricity of 100 yuan per square meter, while to make a set of reinforced wire cages only costs 400 yuan. If bamboo and wood are used as cages, the cost will be lower.

III. Multi-purpose of one thing

According to the requirements of free-range chicken house construction, can only raise pheasants, inconvenient to raise other livestock and poultry: and cages can be used to raise pigeons, rabbits, and so on. It is more convenient to change and move at will.

IV. Ease of management

The cage covers a small area and is convenient to clean; the caged population is small and food grabbing is not easy to occur; convenience is provided for epidemic disease prevention and control, and the labor intensity of management personnel can be reduced. Under the same labor, 1000 can be managed in free range and 2000 in cage. More than doubled.

V. Prevention and control of pecking addiction

Pheasants have wild habits. If the management is improper, feather each other, so that feathers are not easy to grow together, affecting the price; and the use of cage can be avoided. The practice is: use sacks or grouped bags to block doors and windows when the light is strong during the day, so that the indoor brightness is reduced, and open the shelter for ventilation at night and during feeding. In the dark environment, can avoid pecking feathers, so that chickens fed to meet the market specifications, feathers can remain plump, beautiful, high price.

VI. Saving feed

The range of cage breeding is small, which limits the activity of pheasants, improves feed utilization rate by 10%, and daily gain can reach 3-4 grams. Under the same feeding condition, the feed consumption is less, the weight gain is faster, the rearing time is shortened, the market is early, and the economic benefit is obviously improved.
