Commonly known as pigeon or pigeon vegetable, it is heavy in weight, poor in flies, matures early, and reproduces quickly, mainly for the production of meat and eggs. According to the characteristics of each stage of growth and development of pigeons, feeding and management, different methods should be adopted.
After a pigeon leaves the nest, the pigeon must be thoroughly cleaned and the nest basin must be disinfected. If the pigeons are still fed pigeon milk 56 hours after hatching, manual adjustment should be used. The method is to carefully insert the pigeon's mouth into the mouth, and after many repetitions, feed the pigeons normally. If feeding, artificial feeding can be used during the disease process of pigeons. The method is to soak rice and mung beans for 1 hour, or 0.5% dry beans in salt water for 20 hours after breaking into particles. For 9-day-old squabs, soak the beans and cut them into 8 small pieces for feeding; for 1,012-day-old squabs, put the soaked beans into a quarter of a stuffing-style size; for 13 to 14-day-old pigeons, cut the fillings half the size; have grain, add glucosidase, milk powder, make it into strips, gently open the pigeon's mouth and feed it with vitamins, fill in the crop and inflate the balloon appropriately. After 15 days, the pigeon is finally fed with 5 ml of warm water. Take it 3 times a day in the morning, noon and evening. In addition, beans and grains can also be fed after steaming, using cooling water to remove mucus, and then feeding by hand.
2. Young pigeon feeding and management of children's pigeons. Pigeons generally refer to 12-month-old pigeons, and young pigeons or turtle doves refer to 36-month-old pigeon reserves. The little pigeons will peck themselves and feed rice, fed millet, mung beans, wheat, etc. After one week, a small amount of peas can be fed after three weeks. The diet includes: 30% legume feed, 70% energy feed, fed three times a day, and adequate drinking water supply. In order to help digestion and increase appetite, you can add an appropriate amount of salt and stomach medicine to the water. Additionally, adequate healthcare litter should be provided and ad libitum feeding allowed. You can add an appropriate amount of healthy heat-clearing and detoxifying traditional Chinese medicine to the drink, and add some antibiotics to drinking water to prevent the occurrence of diseases. In order to prevent pigeons from becoming too fat or maturing prematurely, feeding should be limited, fed daily, twice regularly and quantitatively, and disinfected once a week. When catching pigeons or holding pigeons, be careful not to grab the pigeons' wing rib sockets with your hands, otherwise the pigeons will suffocate.
Third, the production capacity of pigeon breeding, also known as pigeon management, is that adult pigeons that have been paired, or are preparing for egg hatching and brooding, and brooding birds, are called pigeons. After basketing, pair the breeding pigeons for stable life, and breed them 78 days after egg laying begins. Before placing the nest egg cage in the pot, lay it with padding. The padding is preferably linen, and put the rice husk or sawdust burlap underneath to create a pot-shaped nest egg shape. For the pigeons on the tape, strengthen management and improve the nutritional level of the feed. Soy protein feed can account for 35% to 40%, energy feed accounts for 60% to 65%, and is fed 34 times a day. For non-tape production pigeons, a nutritious diet can reduce these levels, with soy protein feed accounting for 25% to 30% and energy feed accounting for 70% to 75%, fed twice a day. For tape production and non-production Pigeon, it is necessary to provide sufficient drinking water and sanitary care sand, clean the attic, clean drinking water troughs every day, and maintain hygienic cleanliness. Generally, 1220 days after the young pigeons hatch, the pigeons will begin to lay eggs in the nest room, and another double room will allow the pigeons to brood and lay the eggs correctly. The annual output value of one pair of meat pigeons and 68 pairs of squabs.
