A. the appearance characteristics of partridges:

The appearance of an adult partridge is similar to that of a meat pigeon. The body is gorgeous, the top of the head is gray-white, from the forehead, eyes down to the neck, connected to the throat, there is a black band forming a bib, with dark black stripes on the side of the body. The wing base gray feather, the wing tip has two black stripes, the body side biwing elephant seems to have multiple black stripes, the mouth and feet are red.

B. physiological habits of partridges:

1. Temperature: partridges in laying period are sensitive to ambient temperature. Partridges like warmth and cold, and they are also afraid of heat and high temperature. The temperature is lower than 5 ℃ or higher than 30 ℃, which has a great influence on yield and fertilization rate. The suitable temperature in the laying period is 8 ℃ ~ 26 ℃. When the temperature meets the requirements, partridges have a good appetite and produce more eggs.

2. Humidity: the humidity in the house will also affect the egg production of partridges, sometimes causing diseases. The relative humidity in the house should be 50-60%. If the humidity is too high, it can be ventilated, and if the humidity is too small, it can be sprayed with water.

3. Ventilation: the metabolism of egg-laying partridges is exuberant, coupled with intensive breeding, which often produces a large number of harmful gases such as ammonia and carbon dioxide, so it should be ventilated frequently, and the ventilation volume in summer should be 3 cubic meters per hour. 1 cubic meter per hour in winter.

4. Lighting: reasonable light can promote partridges to start laying early and increase egg production, but the intensity of light is not high or low, otherwise it will make partridges restless and lead to a decrease in egg production. Because partridges are very sensitive to light, the length of light can be used to control the laying period and non-laying period of partridges. The light during the laying period of caged partridges usually reaches 14 hours.

C. Feeding habits of partridges:

Partridge feeding method is the same as commercial bird feeding, ensuring the supply of feed throughout the day, with drinks, such as corn, soybean meal, bran and so on.

D, the reproductive characteristics of partridges:

Partridges grow to the age of 28 weeks and are transferred to the breeding stage. At the age of about 214 to 245 days, the female partridge began to produce. However, since the sexual maturity of the male partridge is 3 ~ 4 weeks later than that of the female partridge, the nutrition and light of the male partridge must be increased in advance. The ratio of male to female is 1:3 in flat breeding and 1:4 in cage. artificial hatching and breeding are needed after laying eggs.

Preparatory work for breeding partridges

A. preparation of the partridge farm:

Partridges like warm and wet, like quiet and scared, can be raised in peace, can be raised in nets, and can be caged in cage. therefore, for conditional breeding farms, partridges should be raised in flat, commercial partridges should be caged, and barns should be chosen in dry, well-ventilated, well-lit, convenient transportation, pollution-free and noise-free places, preferably south or southeast.

Pigeon farms without conditions can be adapted to local conditions and simplified in light of bad conditions, and the old factory buildings and warehouses can be rebuilt. Wait for the success of aquaculture, and then develop with an economic foundation.

B. Preparation for raising partridge cages:

Partridge cage currently on the market has not seen the stereotyped purchase of cages (perhaps did not understand), for the farm only self-made, the material can be used galvanized net, but also other nets. The self-made cage is similar to the pigeon cage, except that the mesh is smaller than the pigeon cage.

The partridge has food trough, water cup, incubator, incubator and so on.

C. Preparation of the technique of raising partridges

Mastering the methods of hatching partridges, heat preservation and health care in nestling stage and scientific feeding of adult partridges is the premise to ensure the success of breeding. However, due to the rise of partridge breeding in recent years, it is difficult to find training in technology, and there are few related technical books, mainly on their own. Can also go to this net school "Partridge knowledge Lecture" and the electronic publication "Partridge Technology Wen Hui" and other columns to learn.

D. preparation of feed for raising partridges:

At present, there is no professional feed for partridges in the market, which is mainly prepared by farmers. The general feed composition is similar to that of domestic chickens, except that the protein content is higher than that of domestic chickens. Before preparing feed, broiler feed can be purchased. Self-made feed should be prepared with the collection of local crop resources.

E. Preparation for the introduction of partridges:

Before introduction, we should have a comprehensive and multi-faceted understanding of the supply and supply of partridges, understand the relevant knowledge about the selection of seeds and seedlings, adhere to the principle of purchasing by qualified units with seed and seedling management, adhere to the principle of ratio of quality to price, and adhere to the principle of nearby purchase, and control the quality, price and structure of good species.

III. Basic knowledge of partridge breeding and management

A. Knowledge of feeding and management of partridges in the nestling period

1. Temperature and humidity: ① temperature is the most critical link during partridge brooding, and the appropriate temperature can improve the survival rate. The indoor temperature should be controlled at 33 ℃ at 2 weeks old, 28 ℃ at 3 weeks old, 26 ℃ at 6 weeks old and 24 ℃ after 8 weeks old. Too much humidity of ② is easy to get fungal infection, and too low humidity is easy to get respiratory diseases. Generally, the relative humidity of one week old is 60%, 70%, 60%, and after one week of age, the relative humidity is 55%, 60%.
