Matters needing attention in turkey breeding

Turkey is a very precious species of wild birds, which has a certain breeding area in our country. The meat quality of turkey is very fresh and tender, the fat rate is very low, and it is rich in nutrients, which has the effect of treating spleen and stomach deficiency cold and waist and knee weakness. However, the method of raising turkey is different from that of ordinary chickens, and turkey farming has a lot of points to pay attention to. The following editor brings you some points for attention in turkey farming. Let's take a look at it.

1. Temperature

The requirement of temperature on turkey is relatively high, and there are different temperature requirements in different growth stages. For example, the temperature of a turkey should be controlled at about 35 degrees seven days before it comes out of the shell, and then it needs to be reduced by about 1-2 degrees every week. Until the temperature drops to about 20 degrees, if the temperature is too high. Then the amount of water consumed by the chicks will increase, resulting in dilute feces, difficulty breathing and so on. Too low temperature can cause turkey feathers to mess up, scream, and cause colds. Therefore, we should control the temperature according to the weather changes, increase the temperature appropriately in winter and cool down in summer.

2. Ventilation

The air quality in the chicken house also has a great impact on the growth of turkeys. Poor air quality, insufficient oxygen and high ammonia content will reduce the physique of turkeys, increase the incidence of disease and lead to turkey poisoning. And many farmers will ignore ventilation when they work in heat preservation. Lead to the decline of air quality in the chicken house, turkey fidgeting, decreased vitality, poor appetite and other adverse phenomena, disease resistance will also be reduced, the emergence of respiratory tract and other diseases. Therefore, while we do a good job in heat preservation, we should also pay attention to strengthening ventilation and improving air quality.

3. Lighting

Light plays a very important role in promoting the growth of turkey. appropriate light can increase the appetite of chicks and promote the metabolism of turkeys. Ensure the growth of turkeys and prolong the life of turkeys. Especially three days before the turkey comes out of the shell, the vision of the turkey at this stage is very poor, so in order to eat and drink normally, the chicken house should keep light during the day or night. We need to install light bulbs evenly according to the area of the chicken coop, so that the light can be provided normally at night.

4. Humidity

Humidity is also an important factor to ensure the normal growth of turkeys. When raising turkeys, we should control the temperature of the henhouse at about 58%. 62%. Try to avoid going beyond this range. If the humidity is too low, the turkey's yolk absorption will be blocked and the amount of water consumed will increase. Drinking too much water will lead to turkey dysentery, hair growth decline, bleak and other adverse phenomena. If the humidity is too high, it will lead to disorganized turkey feathers, loss of appetite, and the incidence of disease will be greatly increased.

We should do a good job in the regulation and control of the environment according to the surrounding environment and the actual growth situation of turkeys, so as to create a good growth environment for turkeys, enhance the growth ability of turkeys and improve the efficiency of breeding.
