There are some differences between native chickens and pheasants. They have some differences in brooding, but others are basically the same. Pheasants can take off for a long distance, while chickens can take off for a short distance. Pheasants are lighter than native chickens. There are many kinds of chickens, and all kinds of chickens vary in size.
Free-range chickens belong to mountainous areas, and there are no industrial, mining and chemical enterprises around them, and there is no air, water and soil pollution. The chickens raised in this environment are even better than those raised by farmers.
Native chickens are scattered on the hillside, where plants are flourishing. Native chickens play and eat in the forest all day, enjoying enough exercise and sunshine. The resistance of this native chicken is much higher than that of foreign chickens or indoor chickens raised indoors, so there is no need to feed antibiotics and there will be no mass death. Many soil eggs are laid directly in the forest, and the workload of picking up soil eggs is also great.
Feed management
Chicken baby
The quality of chicken seedlings plays a decisive role in chicken breeding. Chicken with low environmental requirements, wide adaptability, strong disease resistance, large activity and excellent meat quality should be selected. Generally, chickens with lively flocks, strong calls, big heads and feet, bulging eyes, strong struggle, clean feathers, uniform individual size and consistent coat color can be judged as high-quality seedlings.
Every day; Tiantiandi
In summer, doors and windows should be opened as much as possible to keep the house clean and dry and the air fresh, and the feeding density should be strictly controlled, which is generally about 15 birds /m2. In addition, feed in advance and feed at night 1 time. Pay attention to heat preservation and ventilation in winter, and the suitable ambient temperature is 14 ~ 23℃. At the same time, the pens and utensils should be disinfected regularly to keep the feeding environment clean and hygienic.
Temperature requirement
Temperature is the key to the success of brooding. Before the chicks enter, adjust the temperature of the brooding room half a day in advance. In general, the temperature of brooding house should be controlled at 0 ~ 65438+33 ~ 35℃ at 0 weeks old, and then it will drop by 2 ~ 3℃ every week until 4 weeks old. During the specific operation, observe whether the temperature is appropriate.
There are two ways: one is to look at the thermometer, and the other is to look at the distribution of the chickens: when the chickens get together, close to the heat source and keep singing, it means that the indoor temperature is low; When chickens are far away from the heat source, distributed around, and constantly breathing with their mouths open, it means that the indoor temperature is high; When the chickens are evenly distributed, freely moving and relatively quiet, the indoor temperature is more suitable. When the indoor temperature is high or low, it should be adjusted in time. The principles of temperature control are: high in the early stage and low in the later stage; Small groups should be high and large groups should be low; The weak group should be high and the strong group should be low; Cloudy days should be high and sunny days should be low.
Boil water as soon as possible. The first time a chicken drinks water, it is called boiled water. When the chicken arrives, send it to the nursery as soon as possible (especially in winter) and let it drink freely. For chicks after long-distance transportation or hot weather, add 0.9% glucose physiological saline to drinking water or supplement it quickly; Add 0.0 1 ~ to drinking water for short-distance transportation.
0.02% potassium permanganate. Boil water early, so that more than 80% of chicks can drink the first saliva at the same time; For slow-witted, crouching or weak chickens, manual training or clapping stimulation should be carried out to promote drinking water. Water should be supplied to chickens all day to ensure that they can drink water in time.
Cutting at the right time is the first time to feed the chicks. The cutting time should be delayed appropriately, and the most suitable time is 24 ~ 36 hours after the chicken hatches. It can also be determined according to the health status and external temperature of chicks. Generally, it is better for 85% chicks to have an appetite. Premature cutting can easily lead to malabsorption of egg yolk and become a stiff chicken, leading to the disadvantages of low brooding rate and poor uniformity. It is best to choose a compound feed with small particle size and easy digestion when cutting. Feed should be sprinkled on nylon cloth or cardboard for chicks to eat. Feed as little as possible to stimulate the appetite of chicks and reduce feed waste.
Feeding density
The feeding density of native chickens can be slightly higher than that of broilers, generally controlled at 35 birds /m2 within one week, and then decreased by about 5 birds /m2 every week until the transition to normal temperature. Then transfer to the column to feed.
Late feeding
Key points of management
After 1 month feeding, chickens should pay attention to the following points:
Hello. Feed can be gradually transferred from ingredients to corn, wheat, rice and so on. Farmers with better conditions can use pellet feed, usually once every morning after 10, once after 3 pm, and once again before going to bed.
Water supply. Do not stop the water supply during the whole feeding period. Regular observation, found that the spirit, appetite, feces abnormalities, should take measures as soon as possible.
It is necessary to eliminate dead chickens in time and prevent enemies such as rats, eagles, snakes and weasels.
Feeding time
The improper feeding period of chickens directly affects the meat taste and breeding benefits of chickens. The feeding cycle is too short, the meat quality is too tender and the flavor is poor, which affects the sales and price; If the feeding cycle is too long, the feed reward will be reduced, the risk will be greatly increased, and it is easy to waste resources such as manpower and space, increase the feeding cost and reduce the benefit. Generally, those who weigh 2-2.5 kg and spend more than 90 days can be listed, and farmers can also make reasonable arrangements according to specific market conditions.
Feed quota
The benefit of raising native chickens is related to the moderate scale of raising. Generally, it is appropriate to take each batch 1000 ~ 1500 chickens as full-time staff. Don't exceed 3000 if the car is in good condition. Prefer to release more, disperse farming and avoid super-scale contiguous farming. This is conducive to feeding management, epidemic prevention and control, reducing risks, increasing benefits and developing steadily.
