Peacock brooding feeding management Chen Qiushi 2002-9-19 Peacock brooding period (1-90 days) feeding is an important period of peacock breeding, it directly affects the growth and development of young peacock, physical status, survival rate, and then affect the adult Peacock's productivity, species value. Based on a few years of feeding experience, the author believes that the broodstock broodstock feeding and management points have the following aspects.
1 suitable temperature
1.1 The thermoregulatory function of young peacock is not perfect, and it has poor adaptability to the external environment. Therefore, in the early stage of brooding, it is necessary to ensure the proper temperature. The temperature under the 1-3 day old brooding umbrella is 34°C, the temperature in the brooding chamber is 26°C; after 4 days of age, the temperature is lowered by 1°C every 2 days (the temperature of the brooding under the umbrella and the brooding chamber is reduced at the same time) until it falls to When the ambient temperature is the same, the temperature is gradually defrosted, and the temperature is defrosted during the day and is still warmed up at night. After the young peacock is adapted, it is completely deaerated.
1.2 Warming breeding young peacocks can judge whether the temperature is appropriate according to the behavior of young chicks and make adjustments in time. If the young cub sleeps sweet and peaceful, stretches its neck and legs, and distributes it evenly, it means that the temperature is appropriate. If the mouth is breathed and drinking frequently, the temperature is high; if the quack is whining, gathering, and not drinking, the temperature is low.
2 suitable humidity relative humidity in the brooding room is 60% to 65%. Peacock brooding period (June-August) is the high temperature and rainy season. The humidity of the brooding room changes with the external environment and it is easy to appear too high (more than 70%) and too low (less than 55%). This situation is not good for young chicks. Humidity is too high. On the one hand, absorption of the remaining yolk in the abdomen of young chicks is unfavorable. On the other hand, young chicks are susceptible to coccidiosis, aspergillus fumigatus, etc.; humidity is too low, young chicks dissipate large amounts of water with the respiratory tract, and water intake decreases. Feathers are fluffy and susceptible to respiratory diseases. Therefore, it should be adjusted in time according to the situation of the brood chamber thermometer.
3 Adequate light can improve the body's metabolism and increase appetite. Help digestion, improve the viability of young chicks, promote calcium and phosphorus metabolism in young chicks. Accelerate the enzymatic activity of the body, as well as sterilization and disinfection. After the young peacock is of the same age, if the weather is clear, there is no wind, and there is enough sunlight, the young cubs should be exposed to the sun outdoors, and the rainy season should be more sun-bathing.
4 feed nutrition full palatability strong
4.1 Young chicks have short digestive tracts, small stomach volume, poor digestive function, and low intake of feeds and food storage. Therefore, it is required that the feed be digestible and the nutritional price be full. In addition, peacocks prey on small insects and small amphibians in the wild. Therefore, under artificial breeding conditions, a certain amount of animal feed, such as mealworms, minced meat, etc., should be added.
5 Disease prevention and control young peacock body is delicate, weak life, poor disease resistance. Therefore, during the brooding period, cleanliness and hygiene of the brooding room should be improved, and the sterilizing room should be regularly sterilized, and the prevention of the following common diseases should be done.
5.1 Chicken Marek’s disease at 1 day of age, inoculated with 0.2 ml of adjuvanted Marek’s disease bivalent oil adjuvant, or 0.2 ml of subcutaneous injection into each neck.
5.2 Poultry white meat disease 2 - 3 days old, drinking with 0.01% aqueous furfural solution for 10 days (add 1 liter of water, 0.1 gram of furazolidone).
5.3 Chicken Newcastle disease 14 to 15 days of age, inoculated with a Newcastle disease II strain of chicken vaccine by inoculation, 60 days of age with chicken Newcastle disease II strain vaccine 2 times the amount of water inoculation.
5.4 Poultry pox disease 25 days old, with 200 times the fowl phlegm attenuated vaccine on the inside of the wings without blood vessels in the skin type 1 prickles, 120 days of age, with 100 times the vaccine to stab 2 needles, and then inoculated once every six months.
5.5 Intestinal inflammation Potassium permanganate 0.01% is used for drinking for 1 day each week.
