How to improve the benefit of Pigeon Culture

Pigeon is now another kind of poultry second only to chickens, ducks, geese and other poultry in China, and some people have listed it as the fourth largest poultry. Pigeon breeding has many uses, such as pigeon eggs, pigeon meat, pet pigeons and so on, so the breeding area of pigeons in our country is relatively large. However, many farmers will find that the benefit of breeding pigeons is not very ideal. So how to improve the efficiency of pigeon breeding? Let's take a look at it with the editor.

1. Select superior species

If you want to improve the efficiency of pigeon breeding, you must first choose a high-quality variety. Breeding pigeons should ensure large size, strong physique and pure coat color, strong growth ability, strong reproductive ability, and its reproductive life should be maintained in 5 years, of which the peak period is three years. An excellent breeding pigeon can generally give birth to about 20 pigeons per year, with a minimum of 11 pigeons. The fertilization and laying rate will be different because of the nutrition level and other factors. Introduction should not be cheap so as to introduce immature young pigeons to ensure that they have outstanding breed characteristics.

2. Good feeding conditions

The requirement of the pigeon house is not high, but it can be modest and humble. However, we should pay attention to some basic conditions, which should be built in a place with high terrain, dry, good drainage and irrigation and quiet. Pigeon house to have the most basic function of wind and rain, can withstand the exposure of the sun, has a strong moisture-proof. A good breeding environment is not only the key to ensure the normal growth and reproduction of pigeons, but also the condition to improve the efficiency of pigeon breeding. Pigeon culture generally has two ways: cage culture and flat culture, and the breeding density should be controlled according to different breeding methods.

3. Feed nutrition is comprehensive.

If you want to raise meat pigeons well, you must first raise breeding pigeons. Although the food intake of breeding pigeons is not very large, it is necessary to ensure that the feed is nutritious and comprehensive. The daily feed demand of a breeding pigeon is about 46g, and it is appropriate to keep a little leftover after each feeding of the pigeon. However, too much, too much will lead to a waste of feed, thus increasing the cost of breeding. Generally speaking, the feed is based on rice, corn and other grain. We should reasonably adjust the proportion of energy, protein and other nutrients in feed according to the growth stage of pigeons, and ensure that there is sufficient clean drinking water to meet the needs of pigeon growth.

4. Strengthen the management of breeding pigeons

We have to adjust the management methods according to the different growth stages of breeding pigeons. For example, pairing period, incubation period, brooding period and so on. The nutrition in the feed should be emphasized and an appropriate amount of health care sand should be provided to create a suitable growth environment for pigeons. The aim is to improve the laying rate and fertilization rate of pigeons. In addition, we should also appropriately increase the light to ensure that each pigeon has sufficient space to improve the growth and development speed of pigeons. After sexual maturity, it is necessary to do a good job of survival of the fittest, natural or artificial auxiliary matching work, expand the flock of pigeons, and enhance the production capacity of pigeons.

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