Management techniques of stocking chickens

The ecological chicken is in the forest ecological environment, taking the stupid chicken as the breeding object, combining house feeding with woodland stocking, feeding freely on insects and weeds in the forest, supplemented by artificial organic feed, breathing the air in the forest and drinking the pollution-free river water in the mountains. produce natural and high quality commercial chickens. The author summarizes the breeding experience in recent years as follows.

(1) the selection of the site is the key that the breeding of ecological chickens is carried out under the forest environment, so the chicken farm should choose natural woodland, generally, the natural secondary forest is better than the original forest, the broad-leaved forest is better than the coniferous forest, and the natural forest is better than the plantation. If there are conditions to choose coniferous and broad-leaved mixed forest. It is required that there is no large pollution source within 30 kilometers around the chicken house, the terrain is about 5 °slope, the leeward is sunny, the water source is sufficient, it is convenient to get water, and it is best to have a high-voltage line to pass through the chicken farm. The design standard of the size of the chicken house and playground: the incubator is calculated according to 10 square meters per 1000 chickens, and the playground is calculated according to 1 square meter per chicken. It is best to surround the playground with fences and plastic nets.

(2) the broiler breeds of general ecological chicken breeds, the male chicks of dual-purpose breeds and egg breeds and the stupid chickens in rural areas can all be used as ecological broiler breeds, and the dual-purpose breeds are the best. At present, from the breeding situation of Suihua Land Reclamation Branch of Heilongjiang Province, the palace yellow chicken is the first choice.

(3) to choose a good breeding time for ecological chickens, we must choose a suitable brooding season to facilitate the grazing and breeding of ecological chickens. It is best to choose 3Mel-May brooding, spring temperature gradually rising, sufficient sunshine, beneficial to the growth and development of chicks, high survival rate of brooding. In the middle chicken stage, due to the suitable temperature and long outdoor activities, they can get sufficient exercise and exercise, so they are physically strong, which is very beneficial to the natural grazing and prevention of natural enemies in the future. Spring chicks mature early and lay eggs for a long time, especially the chicks hatched in early spring are better, so they choose to raise chicks in spring.

(4) after grasping the captive training chicks and raising them in the house for three weeks, the weight reached more than 130 grams and changed to free-range breeding in the hospital to train them to listen to the sound and feed. After a certain period of training, the chicks came back to eat when they heard the sound. The chicks were trained to eat freely by planting forage grass or using forage grass in the courtyard. After more than 3 weeks of training, the chicks enhanced their predation ability and increased their ability to prevent natural enemies, which created conditions for stocking.

(5) after properly managing the stocking and security guards, after feeding in the hospital for more than three weeks, the weight of the chicks can generally reach more than 0.3 kilograms, and when they have the conditions for stocking, they can be scattered in the woods, by the edge of the reservoir, and in the meadows. Chicks catch insects in the vast fields, eat grass seeds, tender grass, and move freely. This period lasts as long as 15 weeks, which can be fed 5 times a day by the hospital, and gradually reduced to 2 times. Feed less when you let out twice a day in the morning and more when you come back in the evening. In the process of stocking, safety precautions must be done to prevent the harm of natural enemies. The main natural enemies are eagles, weasels, and bobcats, who use natural forests as barriers to catch chickens at any time. In recent years, chicken farms have estimated that among the 1% spontaneous loss rate, Chinese chickens can be injured by more than 60% of their natural enemies after stocking. During this period, the weight of chickens has reached 0.5murl kilograms, and the loss of one chicken is equivalent to a loss of more than 20 yuan. Therefore, it is very important to improve the survival rate of chickens by grasping Anquan during the stocking period. There are three ways to prevent natural enemies: train domestic dogs to expel nearby rodents and weasels, use firecrackers to drive out eagles, and enclose pastures with nylon nets.

(6) specific feed must be well selected. in terms of the breeding characteristics of ecological chickens, feed and forage grass are divided into two parts. One part is artificial feed, the other part is natural feed. (1) artificial feed. The feed for ecological chicken must be organic feed, so when planting ecological chicken feed and feed raw materials, it must be cultivated according to the requirements of organic food. Artificial supplementary animal feed must also be carried out in accordance with the standards for the production of organic food. In the process of artificial feed production, it is strictly forbidden to add all kinds of chemicals to ensure the quality of ecological chicken. (2) Natural feed. The quality of natural feed depends on the natural environment. There are mainly natural forage grass, mature seeds and all kinds of natural insects. Only when the natural feed of ecological chicken is sufficient and nutritious, can we produce high-quality products with high nutrition and strong nourishment.

(7) do a good job of epidemic prevention and disease control ecological chickens have extensive contact with the outside world such as woodlands and beaches in the process of growth, and may be threatened by infectious factors at any time. And the growing period of ecological chickens is relatively long, and it generally takes 5 months for 4murmur. in order to prevent trouble, chickens must be vaccinated in a planned way to gain strong immunity.
