Pigeons participating in the Shesai must have their own standards, and individuals who fail to meet this standard will face the fate of being eliminated before the competition. As far as it is concerned, there is a difference between the public shed reform competition and the local competition. The young pigeons in the local competition can complete the whole process of the competition under the careful care of different owners. Owners can know the physical changes of each pigeon like the back of their hands, and can give special care to individuals who are temporarily in a state of decline, so as to have the opportunity to save the momentum in the competition. The young pigeons in the shed race are faced with thousands of racing pigeons. They train together, close cages together, eat the same food and live in the same environment. It is impossible for the shed to take care of every contestant one by one. For the difference of homing, individuals who return home late will still be locked in cages in the next training and will never be tolerated. This means that the racing pigeons themselves should have certain adaptability, which is what we often say? Super recovery? . No? Super recovery? Once a person comes back late in a training session, he will welcome the next training session again before his physical strength has recovered. He is faced with fatigue accumulation again and again, and is always eliminated by his own physical factors.
So, what kind of individual has this? Super recovery? What about the function? First of all, it must have a good physical foundation, a healthy digestive function, an extraordinary immune system and a smart mind. Of course, these things come from innate parental inheritance and acquired breeder management, but the judgment of these functions comes from the experience and mastery of our breeders.
First, the selection of breeding pigeon pairing is inherited from the selection of breeding pigeons. A pair of healthy breeding pigeons will get excellent genes. Pairing with pigeon breeds with a family history of public houses will give you the hope of competition in public houses. Practice has proved that some offspring bred by breeding pigeons perform very well in family competitions, and sending their peers to public sheds to participate in competitions often leads to the phenomenon that they lose their reputation in Sun Shan or never come back. I have had such an experience, and also made a simple analysis and verification of such pigeon varieties. Pigeon breeds in public sheds definitely have their own side, and pigeon breeds in home races are not necessarily suitable for public sheds. Therefore, the offspring of this kind of pigeon species should be put into public sheds after improvement, otherwise it will not only suffer economic losses, but also destroy the self-confidence of breeders. Some pigeon breeds with a family history of public shed racing can be boldly selected, and in their offspring, you will gain the confidence to win.
Second, personal health examination 1. On the day when the squab broke its shell, it was the first time to check the umbilical cord. For some individuals with poor umbilical cord contraction, no matter what lineage they come from, they should be eliminated in time.
2. The growth and development of a healthy squab must not be affected by our feeding process; If these feeding factors do not exist, then it is necessary to consider whether to eliminate some individuals who are easy to be put on the ring and may be out of the ring when they are put on the ring for 7 days; Such individuals show that they are born without a healthy digestive system, and their growth rate is slower than others (except for a big one when hatching), which is an unhealthy performance.
3. For young pigeons within five days, when parents feed them, the mother pigeon will take the initiative to grab the mouth of the young pigeon, and the young pigeon will instinctively put its mouth into the mother pigeon's mouth to eat; After 5 days, the young pigeons will take the initiative to raise their heads and ask their parents for it; Individuals who actively beg for food will get enough food and eat it for a long time; Five days later, a pair of chicks clearly saw that one grew fast and the other grew slowly, and that slow-growing individual was a symbol of weakness.
4. When the young pigeons reach the age of 10, they still don't know how to pull the feces out of the nest plate, and the feces around the nest plate have never formed; If it is not because the mother pigeon drinks a lot of water and feeds it into the water bowl, it means that there must be something wrong with its digestive function.
5. When the young pigeon grows to 12 days, there are two feathers in a nest, and the food in the crop of one feather is always not as full as the other. It is necessary to observe carefully. If the parent pigeon does not take the initiative to feed the young pigeon, then the individual who is always full of crops may have an unsatisfactory digestive function, and its hunger is naturally not as good as the other. When parents eat,
6. When the young pigeon grows to 15 days, all the feathers, including the main feather and the tail feather, are hedgehog-like individuals, indicating that it is born with a lack of absorption function of phosphorus and calcium.
7. For some individuals who have grown to 18 days, they still can't stand and walk or even always like to crawl in their nests. Individuals who don't know how to stand up and comb their feathers often indicate that their independent performance is very poor, which should generally be the cause of calcium deficiency; If it is not unreasonable food caused by human beings and the supply of additives is interrupted, it is the absorption function of young pigeons themselves.
8. On the third day of independent life, young pigeons who can't learn to eat and drink by themselves usually happen in those who have? Neurotic? On young pigeons; They react strongly to environmental changes and need longer adaptation time than other individuals, so it is best for such individuals to stay at home and observe; If you master the personality of such an individual, you can still use it in the future. But it does not rule out other reasons, such as mental retardation, blindness, physical weakness, individual dependence and so on.
9. During the 28-day growth period of young pigeons, general bacterial diseases are difficult to invade due to maternal antigens; After the termination of maternal antigen, the immune system of young pigeons gradually matures and can maintain their own health; Therefore, when vaccinating young pigeons, it is best to choose when the maternal antigen has not been terminated, so that the stress reaction and diseases caused by the vaccine will be less. If the disease occurs within 28 days, it must be eliminated.
10. If a young pigeon for about 30 days eats and drinks like other young pigeons, and other young pigeons behave normally, it will show abnormal feces, which may be due to unhealthy digestion or poor immunity.
1 1. Individuals with abnormal digestive function have low food utilization rate. After independence, their muscles will never change. After nesting, other young pigeons learn to eat and drink quickly, and the body transformation time is also very short, and the supply interruption phenomenon is not obvious, which is always similar to the development of parental supply; And some individuals, once out of the father's supply, show a significant decline in muscle.
12, an individual with obvious muscle decline, is there a statement? Drop the watermark? This is also related to the formula of feed; This phenomenon is more obvious in the diet and high carbohydrate formula of young pigeons. After learning to eat and drink, the muscle changes are not obvious, and it feels too late; If it is not the food, it is the digestive system.
13, it is best to give priority to beans after leaving the nest; Some pigeon fanciers mistakenly believe that young pigeons must be trained to eat large grains of food such as corn before being sent to the shed, so that they can know how to eat large grains in the environment where they are raised in the shed, which is good for their future recovery; In fact, even if the young pigeons leave the nest, they are still in the growth period, and the demand of protein is very crucial for the young pigeons in this period; Therefore, pigeon fanciers who forced their young pigeons to eat corn during this period should change their ideas quickly. Corn will make the young pigeons in this period feel false. Once they fly in the sky, they will show that their muscles are not as good as other pigeons. When the racing pigeon enters the normal family flight training, it will naturally recognize the use of corn for it; Pigeons are smarter than us in choosing food. They know best when they need what food, unless the feed you provide lacks its demand. Of course, the supply of peanuts needs some training. Pigeons that haven't eaten peanuts can't be recognized when they are given them for the first time.
14, when the young pigeon grows to about 25 days, the phalanx begins to close gradually and the hardness begins to strengthen; Pigeons in this period must not stop supplying phosphorus and calcium; Because, at this time, although the squab has entered an independent life, the bone development is still in the formation stage, and the main feather is also in the growth stage; Once the nutrition supply is insufficient, the bones will gradually become soft, and the big strips on one side will become longer and thinner, and the quality is not good. You know, the role of Bianyi may be used in the finals! After 30 days, Bianyi will fully grow in place.
Third, the screening of its own conditions 1. After the full moon, squab can basically be fixed in other aspects. First of all, the pubic bone is required to be closed, with a certain hardness, and the gap with the keel should not be too large; The 45-day-old squab, whose pubic bone has not reached the appeal requirement, belongs to a very unhealthy individual.
2. After the full moon, the main feathers of the young pigeons are basically in place. The requirements for the main feather are smooth and flawless, soft and elastic, and the shear wind must be qualified. There should be no obvious defects at the joint of the main and auxiliary feathers, and it is best for the main feathers to grow auxiliary feathers.
3. For 45-day-old squab, it is necessary to achieve: the muscles are firm and hard, the keel is not curved, the bladder muscles are firm and thick, the back is not concave or wide, the waist is firm, the feathers are smooth and bright, and the throat is oval.
4, the requirements for the eyes are flexible, sensitive to ridicule from the outside world, not too much eye water; The mouth must be clean and ruddy, and there must be no symptoms of respiratory diseases such as trichomoniasis and phlegm.
Fourth, health maintenance after leaving the nest. After the young pigeons leave the nest, don't forget to deal with ectoparasites. Don't throw electrolytes containing vitamins into drinking water. Vitamins will accelerate the growth of trichomonas; After learning to eat and drink water, put trichomonas medicine in drinking water for three days; Then give electrolyte or honey water without vitamins, and water-soluble cod liver oil powder will be more ideal; Then the gastrointestinal function can be adjusted by conventional drugs or live bacteria; ? Respiratory tract? And then what? Chlamydia? Prevention is also necessary. As for coccidia and worms, there is no need to deal with them.
If you want to inject Newcastle disease vaccine and then send it to the shed, it is best to do it in 23 or 24 days. First, because of maternal antigen, the stress response of young pigeons is relatively small; Second, it is not easy to cause other diseases. In this case, it is best to inject anti-trichomonad drugs into young pigeons on the night of leaving the nest, inject Newcastle disease vaccine on the third day after leaving the nest, and then add drugs to maintain gastrointestinal function 48 hours after vaccine injection, which can play a role in health care and anti-stress. Finally, as usual, to prevent others.
Fifth, the key to choosing a public shed is to master some areas where pigeon offspring play; Some pigeon breeds suitable for the northern racial line are difficult to fight in the public shed of the pass; Some pigeon species on the plain race line should be cautious when going to the mountain race; Some uncertain pigeon species or newly paired pigeon species need to be tested, so it is best to choose a public shed with suitable admission fee and many years of public shed history. This will accurately check out your new match. To test the offspring of new pigeon species, it is best not to put a pair of young pigeons or their upper and lower nests in a shed in one area, so as to thoroughly test the reproductive ability of breeding pigeons and the flying ability of young pigeons. If it is sent to a public shed, once it encounters other reasons, the parents of young pigeons need to take the exam for another year. In order to shorten the inspection period, we must expand the inspection area.
