How to raise black-bone chicken

Black-bone pheasant is also a kind of pheasant, but what is different from other pheasants is that its meat and bones are black. Many old people in rural areas also call it black chicken, medicinal chicken and so on, which means that black-bone pheasant has a very high nutritional content and excellent nourishing effect on people, so it is also a laudatory name for it. Now the breeding of black-bone pheasant is a hot project to get rich, which can be raised separately or caged. It depends on the breeding environment, so today we will follow the pro-agricultural network to see how to raise black-bone chickens.

1. Variety selection

At present, there are many varieties of black-bone chickens, such as white-feathered black-bone chickens, black-feathered black-bone chickens, white-top black-bone chickens, golden silky chickens, and so on. Then we need to choose according to the needs of the market and the difficulty of raising black-bone chickens. For example, in Hunan, the sales of white-feather black-bone chickens are much better than those of black-feather black-bone chickens, and it is more convenient to raise them, so we will choose to raise white-feather black-bone chickens. This means that if you want to raise black-bone chickens, you need to conduct a simple survey of the local market to ensure that you can benefit.

2. Culture conditions

Although the black-bone chicken is very adaptable and can be kept in captivity or in captivity, it would be better to choose free-range breeding if there are conditions, because in this way the black-bone chicken can move freely in a certain short period of time. This can enhance the immunity of the black-bone chicken, and secondly, the black-bone chicken can also find food on its own, which can reduce part of the feeding cost. In addition, the meat quality of black-bone chickens raised in bulk will be better. Secondly, the black-bone chicken has poor cold and moisture resistance, so the environment of the chicken coop should be kept dry and warm. Finally, the chicken coop should build a special place for black-bone chicken sand bath, which is conducive to the growth and development of black-bone chicken.

3. Feeding and management

Feeding and management is very important, it determines the survival rate of black-bone chickens, pheasant production, feeding and management needs to be divided into three stages, the first stage is the newly bought chicks, its physique is relatively weak, so basically need all-day light, the second is that the indoor temperature should be kept above 30 degrees early, and after a week or two, the temperature can be slowly lowered to about 28 degrees. During this period of time, basically only three times a day for feeding, mainly concentrate-based, you can add some green vegetables. Until the physiological function of the chicks is fully restored, we can return to normal feeding. We can put the black-bone chickens into the courtyard and woodland and let them move freely. At this time, we just need to put in the feed at a fixed time every day. Finally, there is the black-bone chicken that enters the laying period, at this time we need to slowly reduce the amount of feed, and then slowly restore the feed to the normal amount after it enters the laying period, which can improve its laying rate.

4. Feeding density

The management of feeding density can correctly grasp the growth rate of black-bone chickens and reduce the waste of feed at the same time. However, the breeding density of black-bone chickens is different in each growing period. for example, black-bone chickens in about half a month are generally about 40 per square meter, while about 30 in a month, and only about eight to ten in one square meter of adults. therefore, we need to manage black-bone chickens in groups during each growing period, so that they can grow faster and healthier.

5. Daily management

Daily management is also some relatively trivial things. Black-bone chickens love to be clean very much. If the breeding ground is dirty, it can easily lead to bacterial infection and diseases such as chicken plague. So we should clean up the sundries and feces of the breeding ground regularly, and carry out disinfection. Finally, we also need regular black-bone chicken vaccination, which can prevent many unnecessary diseases. For example, if black-bone chickens have parasites, they won't get fat no matter how you feed them, so we should get rid of them in time.
