Raising chickens is easier said than done, but the survival rate is too low. However, for people who have some experience in breeding, as long as they do a good job in the three aspects of "seedling, material and disease", there will be no big problem. So, what is "seedling, feed and disease"? They are chicken seedling selection and brooding, feed feeding and disease prevention.

Selection of chicken seedlings and brooding work

The survival rate of native chickens is low, largely because the brooding work is not done well, chicks are not easy to feed and the mortality rate is too high. Therefore, brooding is very important in the whole process of native chicken breeding. It is suggested to take the following two measures: selecting excellent varieties. Excellent varieties are not only the basis for raising high-quality broilers, but also help to improve disease resistance and reduce mortality. When selecting chicks,

Choose the kind with plump muscles, delicious meat and strong resistance. Control the temperature. The key to incubating eggs is temperature. If the temperature is not well controlled, chickens are prone to problems. After all, the chicken has just hatched, its feathers are not full, and it is sensitive to the outside world. It is suggested that the brooding temperature should be controlled at 35~38℃, and then it should be reduced by 2℃ every week until it is reduced to 25℃.

Feed feeding

Breeders also pay attention to feed selection. In the brooding stage, it is necessary to match the chicks with digestible and nutritious complete feed and adhere to the method of feeding in stages; In the grazing stage. Priority should be given to the free foraging of native chickens, picking leaves, grass and grains to feed at ordinary times, and using coarse grains, such as rice grains, wheat and rice, when returning home late; In the later period, 3~4 weeks before listing, it can be fed with animal feed such as silkworm chrysalis, Tenebrio molitor, fish meal and meat powder.

disease prevention

Although the native chicken has strong disease resistance, it is grazing after all, and there are many opportunities to contact pathogens. In addition, factors such as long breeding period, occasional wind and rain increase the chance of native chicken getting sick. Therefore, it is also very important to do a good job in epidemic prevention of native chicken diseases. Such as coccidiosis and parasitic diseases of digestive tract. , need to be checked frequently, once found, it needs to be removed immediately. At the same time, we should also do a good job in environmental sanitation and disinfection.
