Preparation for breeding peacocks

1. Site preparation: the selection requirements of peacock farms are basically the same as those of domestic chickens. Conditional farms are best chosen on a hillside with shady trees, slightly inclined terrain, half sand and half soil, and the environment should be secluded. Plant shrubs and forage grasses, make the green grass in the active land into patches, simulate the wild environment as far as possible, in order to facilitate the domestication and breeding of peacocks. Peacocks can be raised in pairs or 1 male, 2-3 female cages, or released on a large scale, but they need to be fed in a fixed place. Surrounded by barbed wire or nylon net, there are rain-proof, perched barracks, poultry houses generally 5 × 5 × 5m. The playground should be slightly larger, with barbed wire or nylon mesh (mesh 1. 5-2.0CM) and shaded by trees. Poultry house should be north to south, high-lying, sunny, warm in winter and cool in summer. The floor of the poultry house is hard-bottomed, with fine sand on the top and a perch bar at the height of 2-2.5m.

2. Preparation of facilities: Peacock's facilities are similar to those of domestic chickens, except that they need to solve the problems of heat preservation and hatching equipment.

3. Technical preparation: the breeding technology of peacocks mainly depends on self-study from newspapers and magazines, and can also be studied in the columns such as peacock technology, which is an electronic publication of this net. Through the combination of theory and practice, we can constantly improve and enrich the breeding technology.

4. Feed preparation: the peacock feed is basically similar to the domestic chicken elephant, and the feed preparation is mainly the combination of granule, animal feed and green feed. Feed grains such as sorghum, corn, rice, sesame seeds, perilla seeds and so on. Animal feed is fed by a mixture of minced meat and eggs. Green fodder chopped in animal feed or fed separately.

5. Preparation for epidemic prevention: peacocks are prone to coccidiosis and white dysentery, so they must keep their enclosures hygienic and prevent them as soon as possible. If necessary, they should be vaccinated against chicken Newcastle vaccine.

6. preparation for introduction: before introduction, it is necessary to comprehensively and comprehensively understand the supply of peacocks and master the basic knowledge of selecting peacocks, because they choose and buy peacocks with smooth and neat feathers, lively spirit, strong feet, unbent toes, good appetite, sensitive response and bright eyes.

2. Basic knowledge of breeding and management of peacocks

1. Feeding and management of blue peacock brooding

The rearing period is 0-60 days old. The peacock is a precocious bird that can peck when it comes out of its shell. You can drink potassium permanganate aqueous solution of 5000 concentration by yourself first. The brooding temperature was 34 ℃ from 0 to 3 days old, and then decreased by 0.3 ℃ per day until it was de-heated at about 20-30 days old. Infrared lamp or electric incubator can be used for heat preservation. The specific de-heating time depends on the weather and the state of the young peacock. The relative humidity of brooding can be controlled at 60%-70%. The appropriate feeding size of each group is 40-50, and the density decreases gradually with the increase of age. You can eat freely and feed some green grass, vegetables or fresh grass every day. Pay attention to the supply of clean drinking water, clean the environment every day, and do a good job of regular disinfection, regular deworming and animal and rodent prevention. After 20 days of age, peacocks can be gradually allowed to go outside for activities. The growth and development of young peacocks entered a rapid growth stage from 7 days old, animal feed and various trace elements should be added to promote their growth.

2. Feeding and management of blue peacock breeding.

The breeding period is from 61 days old to before adulthood. The feed was fed twice a day, and the green feed was supplied twice a day. As a commercial peacock, it can be put on the market when it is raised to the age of 8 months and its weight can reach 3 to 4 kilograms. 4) the feeding and management of adults (over 2 years old) during the laying period should pay attention to the quiet environment and reduce all kinds of stress, so as not to affect peacock egg laying and male peacock mating. The suitable ratio of male to female of the population is 1: 1, 3: 1, 1: 4. Strong sunlight will affect the activities of peacocks and plants can be planted for shade inside and outside the playground. During the laying period, animal feed and insects, trace elements (especially calcium and phosphorus) and vitamins should be added to meet the production needs of peacocks. Hemp kernels (about 10% of the diet) can be fed during molting in autumn, which is beneficial to molting. Build a nest in the corner of the house and put soft grass to facilitate egg laying. Pay attention to picking up eggs in time from 5: 00 to 7: 00 p. M. Pay attention to do a good job of keeping warm in winter.
