Key points for improving survival rate of partridge brood

Partridge is a new special poultry breeding project, its breeding technology is still in a groping stage, the most important stage in breeding partridge is brood period, many breeding friends in this stage because of the wrong method, resulting in very low survival rate of brood, resulting in losses. So how to improve the survival rate of partridge brood? Let's take a look at the details.

1. Disinfection

Partridge is weak after hatching, easy to suffer from disease infestation resulting in death, the first thing to do is disinfection work, clean the environment of the brood room, prepare breeding tools brood cage and sink, trough and so on. then the doors and windows are closed, the doors and windows are kept in a sealed environment, potassium permanganate and formaldehyde are used for fumigation and disinfection for 24-48 hours, the doors and windows are opened after disinfection, odor is released, and then the doors and windows are disinfected for 2-3 times by using hundred poison spray.

2. Temperature and humidity

Temperature is the key point of brooding, directly related to the survival rate of partridge, partridge in the shell, to be at about 35 degrees of temperature, otherwise it will freeze to death due to low temperature, heating methods can be used point fire, heating or other methods, but also pay attention to ventilation, so as to avoid carbon dioxide and other toxic gases caused poisoning, after the shell of the first week to maintain the temperature at 34-36 degrees, after a week can be reduced by 1 degree, until the partridge completely de-temperature. Air humidity is also an important point, in the first week to maintain humidity at 60%-70%, a week later can be reduced to 50%-60%, humidity is too high easy to partridge parasitic disease, too low will cause respiratory diseases.

3. Drinking water and eating

In 1-2 hours after the shell to drink water in time before eating, drinking water before eating in order to make partridge abdominal absorption of nutrients, conducive to metabolic balance, to prevent death due to dehydration. Drinking water must be clean, do not feed contaminated water, but also add some nutrients to drinking water, such as sugar. The feed is generally fine and digestible, can be steamed millet mixed with cooked eggs and eggs to feed, the next day can be fed with complete feed, a week later all feed complete feed.

4. Feeding density, ventilation and illumination

When raising, attention should be paid to the issue of feeding density. Generally, it depends on the feeding environment and age. About 70-90 animals per square meter can be raised at the age of 10 days, and 30-60 animals per square meter can be raised at the age of 10 days to one month. Partridge in brood metabolism fast, breathing fast, if the feeding density is large, coupled with indoor temperature, easy to appear oxygen deficiency and suffocation death phenomenon, so to strengthen ventilation, regularly open doors and windows to increase ventilation, exhaust harmful gases. In addition, light will also affect the growth of partridge, within a week of shading to maintain 24 hours of all-day light, 15-20 hours a week, with the growth of gradually reduced time, until the transition to natural light.

5. Health and epidemic prevention

Sanitation and epidemic prevention work is also the key point to improve the survival rate. Partridge excreta should be cleaned up in time and disinfected regularly. Attention should also be paid to dust pollution in the air, resulting in respiratory diseases. Feeding utensils should be cleaned and disinfected regularly. Appropriate antibiotics can be added to drinking water and feed to enhance the resistance and immunity of partridge and vaccinate in time to prevent diseases.

The above is to improve the survival rate of partridge brood all the points, I hope to help you, want to know more partridge breeding knowledge, please pay attention to this site.
