Introduction to the method of raising chickens under the forest

The method of raising chickens under the forest is a traditional method of raising chickens in China. Chickens are raised in the mountains and forests, and the grass leaves and insect resources under the forest are used to raise chickens. The cost of this mode of raising chickens is lower, and the chickens raised are more green and pollution-free, so they are more popular in the market. Below, the pro-agricultural network will bring you the technology of raising chickens under the forest. Let's take a look.

1. Woodland selection

The selection of ventilated and sunny woodland requires good drainage, convenient transportation, good growth of woodland trees and an open and flat area that can be used to build chicken sheds.

2. Build a chicken coop

The chicken house under the forest is relatively simple, as long as there is a place for chickens to rest at night, you can use brick wood to build a frame, leaving a small door in and out. Then wrap it around and at the top with a plastic film and fix it. The size of each henhouse depends on the size of the breeding, can be large or small, and is built to separate the difference between the chick house, the laying room and the hatchery.

3. Seed selection

In order to raise chickens under the forest, you should choose chickens that are highly adaptable to the environment, and it is best to choose local native chickens. now that artificial large-scale farming is developing, many chickens grow very fast under artificial conditions, and it takes only one or two months for a chicken to get out of the pen. However, most of them are artificially bred, but there are many hidden dangers in long-term consumption, so more and more people like domestic chickens or native chickens raised in rural areas, which is not only good in taste, rich in nutrition, but also more reassuring to eat.

4. Feeding and management

Put the chicken under the forest during the Qingming Festival season, and the chicken seedlings can be bought or hatched by yourself. to do a good job in feeding the chicks, the chicks are fed in an indoor environment of about 30 degrees, and vitamins and antibiotics can be added appropriately when feeding, which can strengthen the disease resistance of the chicks. However, chicks can be released when they grow up to January, and they should train their foraging habits when they are stocked. Two people cooperate with each other, one person takes food, and the other person is responsible for driving it out, forming the habit of fighting for food. Then slowly reduce the amount of feeding, especially in the morning, let them find food on their own during the day and feed at night, which can speed up the growth of chickens.

5. Prevention and treatment of epidemic diseases

The main disease of raising chickens under the forest is parasites. As chickens look for food on their own, they may eat a lot of insects, which will carry many parasites, so deworming drugs should be added to the feed properly. In addition, we should also pay attention to the environmental hygiene of the chicken coop and under the forest, and disinfect it regularly to prevent infectious diseases and ensure the health of the flock.

The above is the introduction of the method of raising chickens under the forest brought to you by the pro-agriculture network. Raising chickens under the forest can be combined with the planting of fruit trees, chickens feed on insects, and manure is still the fertilizer of the soil, which can achieve the harmonious development of forest and animal husbandry and increase income and profits.
