Pigeon feeding and management points
The production of pigeons bears the multiple tasks of egg production, hatching and rearing of young birds. The scientific and rational management of the breeding pigeons directly affects the performance of the breeding pigeons and is very important to the production efficiency of the entire pigeon farm. First, a reasonable match When free-matching or artificially paired production pigeons are basketed, they must make production records, strengthen observations, and observe whether the matching is reasonable. If the fight is repeated after 4-5 days after pairing, or if there are no mature eggs after pairing, they should be disassembled again. pair. Second, promote hatching Shortly after mating, the hens will lay eggs and prepare the nests in time to allow the pigeons to hatch into their eggs. After the pro-pigeon paired the eggs, some of them can actively hatch the eggs, and some will not go to hatch eggs. The solution is to keep them in the nest and cover them with black cloth. If you take a variety of measures, you still don’t Enthusiastically hatching, should be eliminated as soon as possible. For breeders of good breed, they can be hatched with nannies or hatched with egg hatchers. Third, the use of babysitter pigeons Nanny pigeons, also known as milk pigeons, should choose pigeons that are 3-5 years old and have good hatching and brooding experience and strong nesting. The nursery pigeons have the same or similar egg-laying period as the parent pigeons and generally cannot differ by more than 5 days. Fourth, check embryo eggs In order to increase the hatching rate and the hatching rate, the hatched pigeon eggs should be inspected. The first test is to take 4-5 days after laying eggs and take out no eggs after the egg is laid; the second time is 10-13 days. After removing eggs, remove the embryos and the rest of the eggs can be transferred to the same time. The breeding pigeons continue to hatch, and it is important to note that the incubation time of the two eggs is the same or similar. Fifth, strengthen the feeding and management of the moulting period Pigeons start moulting at the end of summer and early summer. Moulting pigeons should reduce the protein content of the feed and the amount of feed fed, so that the pigeons can shorten the moulting period. After moulting, it is necessary to increase the amount of feed in time, supplement the nutrition, restore the constitution of the pigeons, and quickly put into normal production. Sixth, feeding and management of brooding period Two hours after the hatchlings get out of their shells, the production pigeons will start feeding the pigeons with pigeon milk. If the pigeons do not feed the young pigeons 5-6 hours after the hatch, the reasons must be checked. If it is a breeder who is sick, it is necessary to isolate the treatment in time, so that the nanny pigeons can be nursed. Seventh, other aspects of management In the management of the production of pigeons, attention should be paid to epidemic prevention to prevent birds and other poultry from entering the loft and prevent the outbreak of the disease. Timely production of pigeons with low production performance is eliminated. In addition, it should also pay attention to regular cleaning and disinfection and nutrition deployment.
