Young pigeon feeding management knowledge

From the 28-day-old nesting period until the transition, the best place to do is to have “three constants”: feeding in place, feeding the original breeder, and keeping the original feed constant. This can promote the normal growth and development of young pigeons. The young birds within 2 months of age are difficult to feed because they are fed from the pigeons to an independent life. Therefore, it is necessary to strengthen feeding and management, pay attention to heat preservation, ventilation, strengthen the supply of nutrients for health sands and feeds, and increase the resistance to diseases. Its normal growth and development. At this time, we must make "three look and three investigations": "Three look" is to look at the dynamics, to see the appetite, and to see the excrement: "Three checks" are: Check whether there is feed, check if it is too crowded, and check whether there is bite injury. Those who cannot eat feed can be fed alone, and those who suffer from bite injuries can be promptly cared for, and the combatants can be kept alone. The crowded can be raised in groups. At the age of 2 months, the young pigeons began to moult, and the protein feed in the feed should be appropriately increased to promote the renewal of feathers. Add 5% hemp seed to the feed, add traditional Chinese medicines such as Andrographis paniculata or Gentian to health care sand, and add a small amount of antibiotics in drinking water to prevent the occurrence of respiratory diseases and paratyphoid fever. During this period, special attention should be paid to the hygiene of cages and food and drinking equipment and washing and disinfection should be done on time. At the age of 3 to 4 months, the secondary sexual characteristics began to appear and the ability to become active became stronger and stronger. At this time, selection should be carried out. The male and female should be kept separately, or be paired by force, and the pigeons should be disinfested. Its normal growth and development. The young pigeons gradually began to be paired at the age of 5 months and were sexually mature at the age of 6 months. Most of the pigeon's main wing feathers were changed to the last one. At this time, they were basically transferred to the breeding period. China Agricultural Network Editor
