Pigeon is a kind of bird with breeding prospects. In ancient times, pigeons were generally used to transmit letters and had good communication functions. Now people’s living standards have improved, and pigeons have become a delicacy on the table. Good nourishing and good products, their feed requirements are relatively simple, and their breeding is also convenient. They are a good choice for farmers. So what technology do you need to raise pigeons well? Well, let’s go and see!
1. Pick excellent pigeons
It is recommended that farmers choose pigeons with healthy, pure wool, good adaptability, fast growth and strong fecundity. Generally, high-quality pigeons have strong fecundity, and the number of litter can reach 12 to 18, which is conducive to improving economic benefits.
2. Good feeding conditions
The pigeon loft is not demanding, the terrain is high, the environment is clean, and the drainage is convenient, but the pigeon loft should have the functions of windproof, rainproof and sun protection.
Meat pigeon breeding is generally divided into two ways of cage breeding and peaceful breeding. Cage pigeons are suitable for 3 pairs/square meter, and flat pigeons are suitable for 2 pairs/square meter.
3. Supply of nutritious feed
In order to raise high-quality meat pigeons, it is recommended that we raise pigeons first. The amount of food for pigeons is not large, but the feed must be nutritious. A pigeon needs 45 to 50 grams of feed per day, so a little at a time is appropriate. Too much feed creates waste and increases reproductive costs. Mainly eat rice, peas, corn, wheat and other feed. According to the different growth stages of meat pigeons, some protein feeds can be appropriately added to meet the needs of the growth and development of meat pigeons.
4. Strengthen the feeding and management of pigeons.
Pigeons in different growth periods need to provide corresponding nutrients, including health sand and feed, to create a suitable environment to improve the egg production rate, fertilization rate and hatching rate of pigeons. In addition, for the feeding of young chicks, in addition to careful feeding, it is necessary to appropriately increase the light and give a more spacious sports field to promote their development as soon as possible.
5. Do a good job in disease prevention
The loft (cage) should be regularly cleaned and disinfected, and various utensils, such as sinks and troughs for raising pigeons, should be regularly cleaned and disinfected. During the growth and development of pigeons, it is necessary to do a good job in the detection and prevention of parasitic diseases of pigeons.
