What techniques are needed to raise organic pheasants?
Organic pheasant breeding techniques are relatively complex, requiring mastery of incubation, brooding-period warmth, feather-pecking vice, egg-pecking, flock grouping, feeding and many other techniques, and dedicated staff are needed to take charge. Especially incubation techniques. Below we introduce the techniques one should possess for raising organic pheasants:
The eggs are set to officially begin incubation. During storage, breeding eggs are generally at a relatively low temperature; to allow the temperature inside the incubator to recover quickly after setting, about 12 hours before incubation, first push the egg rack loaded with trays into the incubation room for pre-warming. Incubation temperature, humidity, ventilation and egg turning are always kept within the optimal range. Whether the temperature in the coop is suitable during the 3 weeks of brooding is the key to the success or failure of brooding work. The suitable temperature for newly hatched chicks is 34-36°C, then decrease by 2-3°C each week until reaching 21°C, and after 6 weeks of age maintain room temperature; whether the coop temperature is suitable can be judged by observing the flock's behavior: when too cold the flock huddles together, when too hot the chicks open their mouths and pant, and at a suitable temperature they are lively and spirited. Form a small group from the weak, stunted and unsteady-standing ones, give them special care, and keep them closer to the heat source. The feather-pecking vice in organic pheasants refers to pheasants pecking and eating individual parts of each other's bodies, mainly including vent-pecking vice, feather-pecking vice, head-pecking vice, egg-pecking vice, etc. This disease occurs not only in pheasants but also in other poultry, and is a relatively common and seriously harmful disease in poultry farming. Its main cause is a calcium deficiency in the feed. When raising organic pheasants, they can be suited to large-flock rearing environments. Pheasants have high economic value, with tender and delicious meat, a strong game flavor, and high protein content. With the above techniques, the economic benefits of raising organic pheasants are certain to be considerable.
