Pigeon houses keep warm in winter.

Autumn goes to winter, and the climate in winter is hot and cold. Pigeons will get respiratory diseases if they don't adapt. In addition, low temperature has a great influence on the growth and health of young pigeons. Therefore, doing a good job in winter feeding management is the key link to develop meat pigeon production.

Cold and warm

First, we should plug the cracks and holes in the walls of the pigeon house to prevent the meat pigeons from being attacked by the cold wind. The second is to seal the front and rear windows with plastic film. At night, linen curtains should be hung outside the window and wind curtains should be hung on the door, which can increase the temperature in the room. The third is to keep the temperature of the pigeon house in severe winter. Usually, when the temperature of the pigeon house is above 5℃, breeding pigeons can lay eggs, hatch and feed young pigeons as usual. If the temperature is lower than 3℃, heating facilities should be added. In addition, the winter weather is cold, and dead embryos and young pigeons with cold and dysplasia are prone to appear in the early stage of incubation. This requires us to do a good job of basic heat preservation, check the hatching and feeding of each pair of breeding pigeons every day, and do a good job of checking, patting and merging eggs.

Pigeon house auxiliary lamp

Short sunshine and insufficient sunlight in winter are not conducive to breeding pigeon reproduction and production. Generally, artificial light care in pigeon house can be supplemented for 3-4 hours at night, which can effectively improve the laying rate, fertilization rate and weight of young pigeons.

Usually, 40-60 watts of light bulbs can be used for every 65,438+00 square meters of pigeon house. The light should be soft, neither too strong nor too weak, and it should be started regularly. Generally, pigeon houses are exposed to natural light and artificial light 16 ~ 17 hours every day, which can ensure the normal production needs of breeding pigeons.

improve nutrition

When the temperature is low in winter, the energy contained in feed is higher than that in other seasons.

The variety of feed should be diversified and the nutrition should be comprehensive, so as to meet the nutritional needs of breeding pigeons and young pigeons. General breeding pigeon diet should contain metabolic energy11.7 mj/kg ~13.4 mj/kg and crude protein 15% ~ 17%. Feed formula: 45% of corn, 25% of soybean meal, 65,438+00% of granular materials, sorghum and miscellaneous beans, and 65,438+00 of multivitamin for poultry are added to every 50kg of feed.

G ~ 15g, 2 ~ 3 times a day, so that pigeons can drink freely after they are full.

The mineral feed formula is: loess 30%, fine sand 25%, shell powder 30%, bone powder, hydrated lime 5% and salt 5% respectively, so that meat pigeons can eat freely.
