How to improve the Survival rate of Young Ostrich

Ostrich breeding is now a common breeding project in China. When raising ostriches, the management of young ostriches is very important, and the low survival rate of young ostriches has always been a key factor affecting the development of ostrich farming industry. Therefore, how to improve the survival rate of young ostriches has become a problem troubling many farmers. So how can we improve the survival rate of ostriches? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Strict disinfection

Disinfection is very important and is a key measure to ensure the healthy growth of young ostriches. Breeders have to undergo strict and comprehensive disinfection when they enter the farm. The water and material plates that young ostriches eat every day should be rotationally sterilized. The feces in the ostrich house should be cleaned regularly and the breeding shed should be thoroughly cleaned every day. Then disinfect the floor and walls regularly. During the feeding period, after keeping the young ostrich in the breeding shed for about two months, we should pay attention to clean the empty column, and then carry out a big disinfection. Formalin can be used for fumigation and disinfection, and disinfectants can choose bacteriogujing, disinfectant, etc.

2. Living environment

A good living environment is the key to improve the survival rate of young ostriches. First of all, we have to control the temperature, because the young ostrich's self-heat preservation ability and body temperature regulation ability are relatively poor. So in the first five days, the temperature should be kept at about 33 degrees, and then gradually decreased by about two degrees a week, until it stabilized at about 20 degrees in the ninth week. Then is the humidity, ventilation and light and other basic breeding environment control, environmental changes on the growth of young ostriches is very great, so we must pay more attention.

3. Feeding method

Then we should pay attention to adjust the feeding methods and pay attention to the boiled water feeding of young ostriches. This directly affects whether the young ostrich can grow normally. When feeding, we should pay attention to feeding more and less, especially in the season of high temperature and humidity. Young ostriches like to eat green feed, so we can mix an appropriate amount of green feeding in concentrate feeding to increase the food intake of young ostriches. Should also mainly maintain the nutritional balance of feed, such as vitamins, protein and other nutrients should be balanced to avoid the undergrowth of young ostriches.

4. Disease prevention and treatment

The disease of young ostrich is also the main factor affecting the survival rate of young ostrich. Because the work of disease prevention and control is also what we should pay attention to, young ostriches within three days of age have to disinfect the navel with iodine every day, keeping it at about 3 times a day. Then the young ostrich's deformed toes should be corrected in time. The young ostriches are vaccinated when they are 10-12 days old and are immunized again about three weeks later. And then once a month. In daily management, the growth of young ostriches should be observed from the aspects of activity, spirit, diet and so on.

The above is a brief introduction to how to improve the survival rate of young ostriches. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
