Pigeons within 1, 5 ~ 6 weeks old, can be raised in the seedbed before 15 days, which is convenient for management. After 15 days, weaned pigeons can be moved to the ground for cultivation. Keep the living environment clean and tidy to avoid bacterial infection.
Pigeons about 2.2 months old begin to molt, and the feed can be increased appropriately, accounting for 85% ~ 90%. Hemp seed and rapeseed in feed can promote feather growth and increase its proportion.
At the age of 3.3 ~ 5 months, energy feed can be reduced, protein feed can be increased, trace elements can be supplemented appropriately, and it is advisable to feed it 2 ~ 3 times a day, but the supply should not be too much; Health sand should be sufficient, 1 ~ 2 times a day, and the dosage of each pigeon is 3 ~ 4g per day.
Pigeons over 4.6 months old are mostly mature. At this time, we can get rid of the inferior and keep the superior. The selected pigeons should be paired and transferred to the pigeon house for breeding.
5. Feed the pigeons regularly and quantitatively every day (three times in the morning, three times in the middle and two times in the evening), fix the position of the trough, and let the pigeons develop the habit of returning to their nests on time and feeding at fixed points.
Extended data:
Pigeons under the age of 5 ~ 6 weeks are at the turning point from parental rearing to independent living, and the feeding and management conditions have changed greatly, but their adaptability to external environmental conditions is poor. A little carelessness will lead to the growth and development of pigeons being hindered or getting sick. Therefore, this stage is particularly important for pigeon farms.
Nursery bed feeding is adopted before/0/5 days in conditional farms, which is not only dry and warm, but also convenient for observation and management. After 15 days, weaned pigeons can be moved to the ground for cultivation. If there is no nursery bed, the ground can be raised in groups, but to ensure that the ground is dry and clean, it can be covered with padding, but it should be replaced frequently.
