Feeding and management of guinea fowl

Guinea fowl is a relatively new breed. The head of guinea fowl is much smaller than that of ordinary domestic chickens. In recent years, guinea fowl, as a kind of edible meat special fowl, has gradually entered our field of vision. Guinea fowl is a kind of nutritious meat because it is fresh and tender, rich in protein and amino acids, and low in fat and calories. However, the breeding of guinea fowl requires certain management skills. Today, the editor will introduce to you the feeding and management methods of guinea fowl.

1. Temperature management

Temperature is the most basic problem in guinea fowl breeding, especially for some newly born guinea fowls. Because the newly broken guinea fowl has no hair, is small and is very afraid of cold, so the guinea fowl is more sensitive to the change of temperature. So we have to raise the temperature of the chicken house when raising chicks, keep the temperature at about 37 degrees within 5-7 broken shells of chicks, and then appropriately reduce the temperature by 1-2 degrees per week. Observe the activity and feeding of guinea fowl to see whether the temperature is suitable for the growth of guinea fowl. If there is any discomfort, the temperature should be adjusted immediately.

2. Control humidity

Guinea fowl and ordinary poultry chickens, do not like the wet environment, the pearl chicken house should be kept in a dry and non-wet environment in order to ensure the normal growth and development of guinea fowl. And if the environment is too humid, it is also easy to lead to feed mildew deterioration, fermentation to produce too much harmful gas. It is not conducive to balance the temperature of the chicken house, resulting in guinea fowl prone to a variety of gastrointestinal diseases. But it should not be too dry, because if it is too dry, there will be too much dust in the henhouse, which will lead to turbid air and respiratory diseases of pearls.

3. Ventilation and lighting

Do a good job in the ventilation management of the pearl chicken house, ventilation can discharge the harmful and bad gases in the pearl chicken house in time, and improve the air quality in the chicken house. The work of ventilation is very critical, especially during the breeding period, while ensuring the ventilation of the chicken house, it is also necessary to do a good job of heat preservation to prevent the temperature in the pearl chicken house from falling because of ventilation. Light is also very important for the growth of guinea fowl. Reasonable light time and intensity can promote the nutrition absorption of guinea fowl and strengthen the speed of metabolism. Effectively reduce the occurrence of various diseases, conducive to the growth of guinea fowl.

4. Adjust the density

The guts of guinea fowl are generally relatively small, so it is necessary to reasonably adjust the breeding density when breeding. The density should not be too dense, when there is a large number of breeding, it should be raised in groups in time, and the adjustment of density should be adjusted at any time according to the growth progress and body shape changes of guinea fowl. If the density is too dense, the guinea fowl will scramble for food and fight, and may squeeze and trample each other to death, resulting in a very low survival rate of guinea fowl. Affect the economic benefits of culture, and is not conducive to later reproduction, can not carry out efficient continuous culture.

These are the main points of the feeding and management of guinea fowl. Guinea fowl is now a kind of popular meat wild fowl in our market. Its market price is not low and has an increasing trend, and the market demand is gradually increasing. For some people who want to start farming but do not know what to breed, it is a good aquaculture project. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
