Besides retaining the basic characteristics of native chickens such as black beak and black feet and good meat quality, it also improves the growth rate and meat yield of the original chicken breed. So, how much is the market price of Iron-Foot Ma Chicken per jin? How many jin can one grow to? What are the breeding methods?

1. How much is the market price of Iron-Foot Ma Chicken per jin?

3. What are the breeding methods for Iron-Foot Ma Chicken?

1. Feed management

Iron-Foot Ma Chickens can be free-range and feed freely. The crude protein requirement of the diet is 18-19%. They can be fed fast-growth medium chicken feed, and in the later stage some green vegetables or green grass can be fed, generally accounting for about 20% of the total feed, but it should not be mixed into dry feed for feeding. After 30 days of age, if kept as breeding chickens, quantitative feeding should be adopted to prevent early maturity and excessive fatness. Each group of breeding chickens can be kept at 100-200 birds, with 4-6 feedings of green feed per day. According to relevant experts, when raising chickens it is best to plant green forage grasses that are rich in nutrients and highly palatable to chickens. These forages are rich in protein and calcium. Farmers should mainly plant leguminous forages such as hn-mc Youyou alfalfa and hn-mc Youyou sainfoin. These forages can be cut green and fed at a relatively tender stage.

2. Ventilation and air exchange

During the raising of Iron-Foot Ma Chickens, attention should also be paid to ventilation and air exchange. In deep winter when temperatures are low, people often only pay attention to keeping warm and neglect ventilation. When the air in the coop is relatively foul in the morning, the ventilation volume should be gradually increased, preferably at noon when the temperature is higher, using shorter ventilation times each time and ventilating several times, which is better. If chickens are found to be listless without disease and breathing with slight panting, and the chicken coop is filled with dust and has a strong odor, it indicates that the air in the coop is extremely foul, and ventilation should be strengthened immediately. But drafts must be prevented. Generally, a bent-head ventilation device is installed on the leeward wall of the chicken coop to prevent the flock from being directly exposed to wind.

3. Chicken farm disinfection

When raising Iron-Foot Ma Chickens, drugs should be appropriately used to disinfect the environment. The chicken coop should be fumigated and disinfected with potassium permanganate and formalin for air disinfection. It must be sealed and fumigated for 8-10 hours. After fumigation and disinfection, an empty period of at least 1 week should be left. To disinfect drinking water with bleaching powder, 30 minutes is needed, while adding 5-6 drops of 2% iodine tincture to each kilogram of drinking water requires only 15 minutes to achieve the disinfection effect. Using peracetic acid spray disinfection generally requires 10-20 minutes; if the fumigation disinfection method is used, 1-2 hours are needed. When using lime milk to disinfect manure, the contact time between the lime milk and the manure should be at least 2 hours.

4. Disease prevention and control

In the process of raising Iron-Foot Ma Chickens, the treatment and prevention of diseases run through the entire feeding process. Newly hatched chicks should be injected with Marek's disease vaccine. For chicks at 1-5 days of age and 12-14 days of age, and for those with many diseases and poor management at 35-37 days of age, administer medication once, for 3-5 days each time, to prevent bacterial diseases such as Salmonella and Escherichia coli. The preferred drug is enrofloxacin, using 100 ml of a 10% solution dissolved in 100 kg of water for half a day of drinking, or 10 mg per kg of body weight. In addition, drugs such as Tailong (tylosin) and doxycycline are used to prevent respiratory diseases such as mycoplasma and mycoplasma infection, and disinfectants such as Baidusha are often used for drinking water disinfection. Around 3 weeks of age, attention should be paid to preventing coccidiosis. At 7-10 days of age, administer Newcastle disease strain II vaccine by nasal drops or drinking water, and at the same time vaccinate against fowl pox. At 12-14 days of age, give the first vaccination against infectious bursal disease vaccine by drinking water; it is best to give a booster once two weeks after the first vaccination. For breeding chickens, do a good job of inactivated oil vaccine vaccination against Newcastle disease, infectious bursal disease, infectious bronchitis, etc., specifically formulated according to the local chicken immunization program.
