Key Technical Points for Rapid Rearing and Management of Free-Range Chickens
1. The chicken coop can be built by renovating an old house, or a new coop can be built separately. Inside the chick coop, install elastic plastic netting or bamboo woven netting, with a mesh diameter of 1 cm and the net about 100 cm above the ground. If an old house is renovated, light windows and ground windows should be opened at the front and back. The light window is 150 cm above the ground, and the ground

Feed-saving methods for meat duck farming, effectively reducing feed costs
The breed reared should be excellent. Excellent meat ducks have higher genetic potential for production performance, fast growth, strong disease resistance, and high feed utilization. At the same age and consuming the same amount of feed, their weight gain is much faster than that of meat ducks of degraded breeds. Environment

Feeding and Management Techniques for Mallard Ducks During the Growing Period
The growing period mainly refers to the time from the end of the brooding period (15 days) to slaughter and marketing at 84 days of age. According to their growth pattern, this period can be divided into three stages, namely: early growth stage (16-35 days), late growth stage (36-70 days), and maintenance period (71-84 days). During the growing period, each commercial

Sharing Breeding Experience of Racing Pigeons in Winter
Light not only plays a very important role in chemical processes, but is also a major factor in physiological life processes. Because the days are long and the outside temperature begins to climb, behavioral patterns of living forms also change. This can be proven from the activating effect on the reproductive cycle.

Management Measures During the Incubation Period in Turkey Farming
(1) Temperature: It is the most important condition in turkey incubation. Since the fat content and heat production of turkey eggs are both higher than those of chicken eggs, the incubation temperature should be slightly lower than that for chicken eggs throughout the entire process, and the temperature should decrease as the embryonic age increases. Generally, tur

How to raise commercial hares? Mastering scientific feeding methods is key
The hare is a newly developed money-making project in the special breeding industry. The hare, domesticated through artificial taming, has changed its original living habits and become similar to ordinary domestic rabbits. It not only retains the original gamey flavor of the hare, but also doubles its meat yield. How to raise hares well,

Key Technical Points for Summer Rearing and Management of Angora Rabbits
I. Cooling and Heat Prevention (1) Shade and Ventilation The rabbit house must not allow direct sunlight to fall on the rabbit cages; a shade awning should be built, and the doors and windows of the rabbit house should be wide, with skylights, ventilation windows or exhaust fans installed to keep the air circulating inside the rabbit house. Attention should be paid to lighting, ventilation and moisture prevention. (2) Reducing feed

Sharing Experience and Key Points on Raising Peafowl in Spring
In spring, as temperatures rise and daylight hours increase, the activity level of blue peafowl flocks increases and their metabolism becomes vigorous. This is the season when blue peafowl lay the most eggs, and also the best season for hatching, brooding, and raising new blue peafowl flocks. At this time, feeding management should be strengthened by

Key Technical Points for Safe Overwintering in Velvet Deer Farming
Cold protection and insulation. When the outside temperature is 15°C, a portion of the nutrients taken in from feed must be diverted to resist the cold in order to maintain normal body temperature. At this time, in northern regions, 1 to 2 layers of bundled corn stalks should be set up outside the deer shed walls to block wind and cold.

What to do about coughing and wheezing in weaned piglets? Experience sharing on traditional Chinese medicine prevention and treatment in pig farming
Coughing and wheezing in piglets from 10 days after weaning to 30 kg body weight is usually associated in Western veterinary medicine with porcine postweaning multisystemic wasting syndrome (i.e. circovirus) infection, with an incidence rate ranging from 20 percent to 45 percent; the mortality rate of affected piglets is generally 30 percent, and can reach as high as 80 percent, with body temperature of 40.5°C to 41.5°C. Piglets show rough and disheveled coat, affected pigs have diarrhea combined with respiratory symptoms and neurological symptoms, severe emaciation, and death from exhaustion. This disease poses a very great threat to the pig farming industry. It is most severe in the three seasons of spring, autumn and winter. In traditional Chinese veterinary medicine theory, this disease belongs to warm disease symptoms; the cause is external contraction of wind pathogen invading the lung, and cold, summerheat, dryness, warmth and the like can all combine with it. The main site of the lesions is in the lung. In traditional Chinese veterinary medicine theory, lung qi governs respiration and opens into the nose, externally corresponding to the skin and hair, and governs the opening and closing of the interstices. When lung qi is sufficient, the opening and closing of the skin and interstices is normal, and external pathogens are not easily able to invade; otherwise the pig body is plagued by disease. Using Qingfei Zhike San combined with Maxing Shigan San with modifications, this formula can pungent-cool diffuse and vent, clear the lung and calm wheezing, clear and purge lung heat, and resolve phlegm and stop coughing. Add it to piglet feed as a powder at 0.6 percent, continuously for 2 to 3 weeks. In Western veterinary medicine theory, this formula is believed to have fairly strong antibacterial and inhibitory effects on Actinomyces pleuris, Staphylococcus aureus and Pneumococcus; this formula also has effects such as anti-influenza virus action, and also has obvious antipyretic and anti-inflammatory effects, and can improve the immune function within the animal body.
