What conditions do you need to raise a peacock? Climate temperature, etc?

The selection requirements of peacock farm are basically the same as those of domestic chickens. It is best to choose a conditional farm. On a wooded hillside, the terrain is slightly inclined, half sand and half soil, and the environment should be quiet.

Plant shrubs and grass, make the green grass in the activity area into pieces, simulate the wild environment as much as possible, and facilitate the domestication and reproduction of peacocks. Peacocks can be raised in pairs or 1 male and 2-3 females in the same cage, or in a large range, but the feeding place needs to be fixed.

Fenced with barbed wire or nylon net, there are rainproof and habitable pens, and the poultry house is generally 5×5×5M. The playground should be a little bigger, covered with barbed wire or nylon mesh (mesh 1.5-2.0CM) and trees. The poultry house should face south, with high terrain, abundant sunshine, warm in winter and cool in summer. The ground of the henhouse is hard-bottomed, covered with fine sand, and a vertical pole is installed at a height of 2-2.5 meters. ..

Breeding conditions:

1. The optimum environmental temperature for young peacocks in captivity is 20-259℃. When the temperature is lower than 15℃ or higher than 30℃, it is necessary to keep the temperature relatively high, thus increasing the feed cost.

2. Light has a great influence on the growth and sexual maturity of young peacocks. Female peacocks have a long sexual maturity under long light. In order to save costs, except for special needs, we usually do not use artificial measures to increase the light, mainly by making full use of natural light.

3. The peacock's food intake, respiration and feces amount increased relatively, and gradually entered the autumn and winter seasons. In order to keep warm, it will gradually adopt closed management, which is easy to cause air pollution and excessive humidity. The air should be circulated and the humidity should be appropriate. Cages must be placed in fresh air and dry environment.

4. Peacock likes to take sand bath in the sun, which can promote the development of female peacock's egg cells and improve male peacock's sexual desire. Try to increase peacock sunbathing, especially in spring.

Extended data:

technical reserve

Peacock breeding technology mainly depends on self-study from newspapers and magazines, and can also be learned in this website's electronic publication Peacock Technology and Culture. Through the combination of theory and practice, breeding technology has been continuously improved and enriched.

get materials ready

Peacock feed is basically the same as domestic chicken, and the feed configuration is mainly a combination of granular feed, animal feed and green feed. Granular materials such as sorghum, corn, rice, hemp seed and perilla are mixed and fed. Animal feed is a mixture of ground meat and eggs. Green feed is chopped and fed into animal feed or fed separately.

Epidemic prevention preparation

Peacock is prone to coccidiosis and pullorum disease, so it is necessary to keep the enclosure clean, prevent it as early as possible, and vaccinate against Newcastle disease if necessary.

Introduction preparation

Before introduction, we should fully understand the source of peacock seeds and master the basic knowledge of choosing peacocks, because we should choose peacocks with smooth and tidy feathers, lively spirit, strong feet, straight toes, good appetite, sensitive reaction and bright eyes.
