Key points of feeding and management of turkeys

Turkey is the most common meat food in western countries. now some turkey varieties have been gradually introduced in China, and there is also a certain breeding area. When we raise turkeys, we cannot follow the methods of raising and managing turkeys, because the methods of raising turkeys are different from those of domestic chickens. So how to manage turkey farming? The following editor brings you the key points of turkey breeding and management, let's have a look!

1. Feeding during the nestling period

The rearing period of the turkey refers to the two months after the shell is broken, at which time we have to control the temperature and humidity in the breeding room to a high level. When feeding, the amount of feed should not be too much, because too much feed turkey can not be eaten. The unfinished feed is easy to deteriorate and mildew in the environment of high temperature and humidity, which will have a great impact on the growth of turkey if it is eaten by mistake. Therefore, we should feed more and a small amount of food during the breeding period. Then when feeding drinking water, the water temperature should be controlled at about 20 degrees to ensure that it is clean enough and the drinking water should be changed once in about 5 hours to ensure the quality.

2. Feeding during the breeding period

After the brooding period, the growth ability of turkey is gradually strengthened, and the sensitivity to temperature change is also gradually decreased. Can use the method of captive breeding, in captivity, should pay attention to do a good job in the cleaning of the sink, after cleaning every day to disinfect the sink. Then allowing the turkey to eat freely while grazing can not only enhance the turkey's physique, but also reduce the feed cost. If it is free-range, then we should prepare sufficient feed and drinking water to ensure the growth of turkeys. However, it is not suitable to use the method of free breeding in winter, it should be changed to the way of captive breeding, and then do a good job of heat preservation.

3. Daily management

When we raise turkeys, environmental hygiene is very important. Clean up the sundries and feces in the chicken house in time, and then disinfect the chicken house regularly. When using disinfectants, you should pay attention to choosing disinfectants that will not do harm to people, turkeys and all kinds of equipment. Control the visits of outsiders to prevent carrying germs. In summer and other high temperature and humidity environment, in order to prevent feed deterioration, deteriorated feed can easily lead to turkey poisoning. Therefore, we must not feed metamorphic feed, and then usually we should do a good job in grouping, exercise properly and strengthen management.

4. Disease prevention and treatment

The common diseases of turkeys are similar to those of domestic chickens, so we must do a good job in epidemic prevention when we raise them. Disinfect the chicken coop regularly and prevent the epidemic once a year. For example, common diseases include Newcastle disease, chicken plague and so on. These are common diseases in all poultry. Therefore, when breeding, in addition to regular epidemic prevention and disinfection, we should also strictly control the environment. Cut off the transmission source of bacteria, improve the environmental quality and enhance the disease resistance of turkey. Reduce the incidence of the disease, if the disease is found, it should be dealt with in a timely manner.

The above is a brief introduction to the main points of turkey breeding and management, and turkey feeding and management is very important. Because it is directly related to the growth ability and quality of turkey, it is directly related to the benefit of breeding. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only.
