How to raise stone pheasant

Stone pheasant, also known as Gaga chicken and red-legged chicken, is a kind of special rare bird very similar to partridge. Stone chicken and stone eggs are high-protein, low-fat high-grade game treasures, coupled with the market price of stone chicken is more close to the people, so it is favored by the majority of consumers in the market. Well, today we are mainly here to learn the artificial breeding technology of stone pheasant, let's take a look at the content interpretation below.

1. Select a site to build a house

Stone pheasant has the characteristics of warm, dry, afraid, avoid dampness, poor cold resistance, easy to be frightened and so on. Then the farms will generally choose areas with high dry terrain, overall flat, leeward and sunny, sufficient water sources and no pollution, and better drainage conditions. There are two methods of stone pheasant breeding, which are flat breeding and cage breeding. Flat farming requires the construction of chicken sheds, sports grounds, habitats, nursery rooms, sand baths, etc., as well as laying a Skynet nearby. According to the size of the house, cage breeding requires rational use of space, layered feeding, and the configuration of food trough, sink and egg laying box and so on.

2. Chicken breeding

For the newly purchased stone pheasant seedlings, in order to improve the survival rate of brooding, our team needs strict control over temperature, light, humidity, ventilation and feeding. The temperature of chicks from one day to five days old should be controlled at about 36 degrees Celsius, and then slowly lower the temperature according to the age of the chicks, until the chicks can adapt to the normal indoor temperature. In the farm, seven-day-old chicks should maintain 24 hours of light, and chicks from half a month to a month should be controlled at about 18 hours, which can slowly return to normal later. The indoor humidity should be controlled between 55% and 70%. Stone chicks are mainly fed with cooked eggs at the beginning of the meal, which can be replaced by yellow powder insects a week later, and can be replaced with other protein feed when they are older, and some vegetables can be fed properly.

3. Fattening management

The stone pheasant begins to enter the fattening stage after raising for a month, at this time we need to change the feed allocation proportion of the stone pheasant and raise it in groups reasonably. Generally, 20 animals per square meter are raised, and after a month and a half, only ten animals are fed per square meter. The feed at this stage is mainly based on breeding chicken feed, and appropriate addition of yellow powder insects, vegetables and health sand, regular and quantitative feeding three to four times a day. Finally, we should also pay attention to the supplement of amino acids, minerals and vitamins, and gradually increase the supply of protein feed to promote the fattening of stone pheasants as soon as possible.

4. Adult chicken rearing

In fact, the raising of adult stone chicken is the raising of laying stone chicken, we generally have to choose high-quality, robust breeder, such a breeder its fertilization rate will be higher, can improve the laying rate of stone pheasant. At this time, the temperature in the farm should be controlled between 5 and 30 degrees, the humidity should be controlled between 50% and 60, it is best to feed six to eight animals per square meter, and the duration of light should be controlled at about 16 hours. In addition, we should control the body weight of stone pheasants, limit the amount of feed, and reduce the use of protein feed, but we also need to ensure balanced nutrition, otherwise it will also affect the laying rate.

Stone pheasant breeding for farmers, its economic benefit is very obvious, and the cost of stone pheasant breeding is not high. If it is raised in such a resource-rich place in the countryside, the cost of breeding is even lower, so this is also a kind of breeding project worthy of consideration.
