Matters needing attention in pigeon breeding

Pigeon is a kind of bird with a very long history, which has a very long history of breeding in our country. Pigeons have egg pigeons, meat pigeons and breeding pigeons and other breeding directions, and can also be used as pets, is a breeding profit breeding project. Pigeon breeding is very important when raising pigeons, there are many places we need to pay attention to. So the editor brings you notes on pigeon breeding today. Let's have a look!

1. Prevent early mating

Pigeons sometimes after sexual maturity does not mean that the body has matured, so in order to prevent pigeons from matching early, we should do a good job of grouping pigeons when they are 4 months old. Usually half a year, the pigeon body is also gradually mature before it can be mated. Otherwise, if the breeding time is too early, the body of the female pigeon has not yet reached the standard of breeding, and it is easy to appear soft eggs, rotten eggs and so on. And it will also cause harm to the health of the female pigeon.

2. Egg laying management

Usually under normal feeding and management, female pigeons can lay two eggs at a time. However, it lasts for about 3 days, usually after laying eggs on the first day, and the second egg will not be laid until the third day. Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in feeding and management when female pigeons lay eggs, because the time difference between laying eggs is 1-2 days. At this stage, it is necessary to supplement nutrition for female pigeons and improve the quality of pigeon eggs. Ensure that it can hatch normally in the later stage to prevent the failure of undernourished hatching of young pigeons.

3. Incubation management

Unlike chicken hatching, female pigeons will hatch continuously after laying two eggs. The incubation time is about 3 weeks. When hatching the eggs, after about 5 days, an artificial photo of the eggs should be carried out. If the blood vessels in the egg are of normal color and evenly distributed, they can hatch normally if they show a network. Then the egg was photographed again five days later, and it was found that the egg was black on one side and vacant on the other, which represented normal hatching and would break out of its shell almost a week later.

4. do a good job in epidemic prevention

When the pigeon breeds, always check the nest basin where the pigeon hatches, and pay attention to the bedding grass, if there is no bedding grass, it will easily break the eggs and fail to hatch. Reduce the hatching rate, and fix the position of the nest basin to avoid wavering. If the nest basin is not fixed, it is easy to cause the young pigeon to fall out of the nest basin and die, and the breeding pigeon will fight, which will seriously affect the hatching of breeding eggs and reduce the survival rate of young pigeons.

5. Feed management

During hatching, it is necessary to increase the protein content in the feed, especially the crude protein, which should reach about 19%. Provide enough pigeon milk for young pigeons after breaking their shells to prevent insufficient milk from affecting the growth of young pigeons. If the female pigeon lays only one egg, and there are soft shells, sand shells and other phenomena. It means that the feed is inappropriate or the quality of health sand is too low. At this time, it is necessary to improve feed nutrition, replace high-quality health care sand, and improve the productivity of pigeons.

The above is a brief introduction to the matters needing attention in pigeon breeding. Pigeon breeding management is very important in breeding pigeons. It is also the key to ensure whether we can continue to breed efficiently, so when we breed pigeons, we should improve the productivity of pigeons, do a good job in breeding management, and protect their own breeding benefits.
