Key points of four seasons management of peacock culture

Peacock is now a very hot special breeding project, peacock has a high ornamental value, and peacock meat also has a high nutritional value. The area of breeding peacocks in China is also getting larger and larger, but breeding peacocks need to be well managed, especially in adulthood, and each season has different management methods. The following small series brings you the four seasons management points of breeding peacocks. Let's take a look together!

1. Spring management

The temperature in spring gradually rises, the light time will also increase, and the peacock will gradually recover its vitality and improve the metabolic rate of new generation in the body. Spring is a season in which peacocks lay large amounts of eggs, and it is also the best time for breeding and hatching. In spring, management should be strengthened to improve the proportion of protein, vitamins and other nutrients in feed to meet the nutritional needs of peacock eggs. And in order to ensure the healthy growth of peacocks and prolong the laying period, we must also increase the proportion of concentrated feeding and green feeding to prevent soft eggs or peacocks from lacking nutrition and appearing cartilage disease. Ensure that there is water in the sink at all times, regularly clean the grass and feces, and prevent damage to the eggs.

2. Summer management

Summer temperature gradually increased to the hottest season of the year, this time high temperature and humidity, the growth of peacocks is very unfavorable. Peacock due to high temperature will reduce activity, and appetite decline, food intake will also be severely reduced. Due to insufficient food, peacocks do not have sufficient nutrition to lay eggs, egg production will also decline, and finally stop laying eggs. Therefore, in summer, we should do a good job of cooling down, prevent the temperature from being too high to affect the growth of peacocks, properly ventilate, and then increase the proportion of green feed, pay attention to the proportion of green feed, and do not feed moldy and deteriorated feed.

3. Autumn management

Autumn weather is cooler, but the temperature will gradually drop, the light time will be shorter, and autumn is the peacock molting period. Therefore, in autumn, to reduce the proportion of oil feed, it is best not to feed. The peacock can then be forced to molt when it molts, which reduces the molting period of the peacock and improves the quality of the feathers. Then control the factors of water, feed and light to change the growth environment of peacocks and ensure that all peacocks molt neatly. Zinc oxide additive can be properly fed, so that peacocks can accelerate molting speed after about a week, when half of the feathers can be plucked or automatically shed, to stop feeding.

4. Winter management

Because peacocks are weak after autumn molting, they need to supplement nutrition at this time to restore peacock growth. And the temperature in winter is very low, we also have to do a good job of cold and warm, spread grass in the breeding house, and then have the conditions to use warming facilities. When keeping warm, pay attention to ventilation to ensure fresh air and promote peacock growth. Finally, the feed of oil feed is restored in the feed, and the disease prevention and pest control work should be done well when it is not produced.

The above is a brief introduction to the four seasons management points of peacock, peacock four seasons management work is very important. Because of different temperatures in different seasons and different environments, peacocks will have different effects. Therefore, it is necessary to adjust the management methods reasonably to ensure the growth of peacocks.
