Turtledove is a kind of wild creature, even if it is artificially raised for a long time, it will have certain reservations. Therefore, the meat quality of turtledove is very tender compared to many birds. At present, turtledove breeding is welcome in many areas, and there are many artificial breeding households. So how do you raise turtledoves? Pro-agricultural network to introduce you.

1. How does the turtledove choose the breeding bird

Turtledove seed selection is a very important one, the general selection of seeds are based on size, the same age the older the more popular with everyone, the age of about half a year is better. In fact, some relatively small size, looks very smart, feathers a little messy, like to fly young turtledove is the first choice for everyone when breeding birds, such turtledove wild and vitality high, later reproduction of the next generation survival rate will be much higher, secondly such bacteria antibody will also be much higher.

2. Establishment of Turtledove Breeding Site

Because turtledoves belong to flying species, in order to be close to the living habits of turtledoves, general breeding cages should be built at a height of about 2 meters above the ground, and some wood should be hung in the middle for turtledoves to rest. Bird cage size according to the number of breeding, generally 150 in about 20 square meters, height in 1.5-1.2 meters. It is divided into three areas: breeding area, rest area and nest. The breeding area should be more spacious in the light level, and the rest area can appropriately place some small boxes on the hanging branches to put some seed fruits to supplement nutrition for the breeding area. The light level of the nest should be low, and some grass should be placed inside.

3. Turtledove breeding management

Turtledove such birds should eat less and eat more meals, otherwise it is easy to cause turtledove indigestion, feeding times in 4-5 times a day, generally corn, soybean and other crushed compound feed feeding.

It is best to feed some fresh fruits or vegetables from time to time on a daily basis, which can provide both water and vitamin supplements.

4. Precautions

In daily management, we should look at some places that are not easy to see, because the breeding density is much higher than that of the wild environment, and some diseases will become more frequent. Once found in poor condition immediately isolation treatment, so as not to infect other turtledoves. Secondly, sanitation is also necessary. Although the artificially raised turtledoves do not carry as many viruses as in the wild, sanitation is often the culprit causing diseases.

We do not need to deliberately look for places with excellent lighting during daily breeding. It is only good to have direct sunlight where turtledoves are bred, which is conducive to maintaining temperature and improving turtledoves 'immunity. Too much lighting actually affects yield and the daily vitality of turtledoves. I hope you pay more attention to these details.
