1. Introduction to pheasants

1. Origin of the pheasant

The pheasant is a valuable and rare bird of the Phasianidae family domesticated from the wild common pheasant, also known as the common pheasant, seven-colored golden pheasant, or mountain chicken, and it has high edible, ornamental, and medicinal value. In addition, the common pheasant is one of the important game birds in the world, with more than 30 subspecies in total, and as many as 19 subspecies are distributed in China. In China, the common pheasant is widely distributed across the land, from southern Guangxi all the way to the Greater Khingan Range in the northeast.

2. Value of the pheasant

The meat of the pheasant is rich in protein, amino acids, and nutrients such as calcium, phosphorus, and iron, making it one of the best food tonics for people with anemia or weak constitutions due to qi deficiency. In addition, eating pheasant meat has the effects of strengthening the spleen and nourishing the stomach, stimulating appetite, and stopping diarrhea, and it has certain benefits for resolving phlegm, nourishing the brain, treating cough with phlegm, and preventing Alzheimer's disease. Besides being eaten, making pheasants or their feathers into decorations is also quite good.

2. Are all pheasants protected animals?

True wild pheasants are all protected animals, so everyone should not go hunting on the mountains themselves. However, many artificially bred pheasants nowadays can be eaten, and when buying, everyone must buy pheasants produced by farms with proper qualifications and procedures.

3. What kind of environment is needed for breeding pheasants?

Pheasants have wide adaptability, resist cold, and tolerate rough living environments, so they are a very good breeding project, but if you want to breed pheasants, you still need to understand their breeding environment.

1. For a pheasant farm, it is best to choose a place with high, dry terrain, sandy soil, good drainage, and a slight southward slope. If breeding in mountainous areas, choose a place that is sheltered from the wind and faces the sun, with ample area, and good ventilation, sunlight, and drainage. Of course, no matter where it is chosen, it must be quiet and safe, far from residential areas and industrial and mining areas, and conveniently located for transportation, so that feed and marketed pheasants can be transported easily.

2. Because breeding chickens must be raised separately by sex before mating, at least two chicken houses must be built or modified. At the same time, feed troughs, drinking water troughs, and so on should also be prepared inside the chicken house. The feed trough can be made with wooden strips, generally 1 m long, 5 cm wide, and 5 cm high. The trough can be covered with large-mesh iron netting or small wooden strips to prevent the chickens from entering the trough, and the water trough can be replaced by a plastic basin or other container. If conditions permit, a special tower-style drinker can be purchased. Because chickens like dust bathing very much, a sand pool can be set up in the exercise area (river sand or stone sand is fine; Ben Dao Farm can teach the formula technology for health sand), or a large plastic basin filled with sand can be placed in the exercise area, and care should be taken to keep the sand clean and dry.

3. The scale, equipment, degree of mechanization, and so on of a pheasant farm can be determined according to actual conditions.
