Matters needing attention in emu culture
EMU is a specialty of Australia and the second largest bird in the season after the ostrich, also known as the Australian ostrich. Emus are easy to breed, have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, and are farmed in many areas. EMU is covered with treasures, and it is also a new type of green and environmentally friendly food with high economic value. So today we are going to learn about the matters needing attention in the breeding of emus. Let's take a look at what we need to pay attention to when raising emus.
1. Culture preparation
Since many emu farmers are novice and not professional, they need to be prepared before breeding. First of all, we need to choose a good breeding site, it is best to have enough space, so that we can build a sports ground, followed by good drainage, flat terrain. In the construction of farms, it should be noted that there should be pools and houses with good ventilation, which should not be too narrow and should have enough space. Finally, we should buy good breeding equipment, such as food trough, drinking fountain, heating equipment, hatching equipment, brooding equipment and so on.
2. Feed selection
EMU is an omnivorous animal and likes to eat grass and insects, so we need to choose the right feed when raising it. Generally speaking, the green material of emu is forage grass such as Stylosanthes and elephant grass. Of course, you can also choose bamboo grass, leaves and so on for feeding. Of course, it is best to feed a variety of forage, which can improve the immunity of emu. Concentrate in order to meet the growth needs of emus, we generally choose high-quality wheat bran, meat bran, etc., not cheap, choose low-quality products.
3. Feeding and management
Breeding and management is the most critical point in breeding, and it is also the place where most farmers will have problems. First of all, we should ensure that there is adequate drinking water in the farm, and the water quality should be guaranteed, and we cannot drink water that has been basked in the sun. The second is that the concentrate and forage should be rationed according to the different growth periods of emus. During feeding, we should chop up the green feed and sterilize it before feeding. In addition, sanitary cleaning should be carried out every day, and the feeding, drinking and mental state of emus should be observed, and problems should be dealt with in a timely manner. Then we should do a good job of breeding and breed reasonably, which can improve the laying rate of emu. Finally, it is necessary to carry out a comprehensive disinfection of the farm on a regular basis, usually every 15 days or so to prevent disease.
4. Vaccine prevention and treatment
In the process of breeding, we also need to pay attention to the prevention and control of diseases and insect pests, so we need to vaccinate scientifically according to the vaccine process to avoid the occurrence of diseases and reduce the loss of emu breeding. Secondly, we can also carry out vaccine prevention and control from daily feeding, for example, outsiders are prohibited from entering the breeding area, breeders need to change into special overalls when they enter the farm to work, clean up the foreign bodies in the farm in time, disinfect the forage, ensure the quality of the concentrate, and add antibiotics to the feed at ordinary times. these are measures that can prevent diseases and insect pests in advance.
Through the introduction of the matters needing attention in emu culture above, I believe you also have a basic understanding of emu culture, as well as what are the key points of emu culture, so we should pay great attention to it in the process of cultivation. Although water now makes money from emu farming, the editor still wants to remind everyone that there are risks in the aquaculture industry, and we still have to be mentally prepared.
