How can the survival rate of meat pigeons be improved?

How can the survival rate of meat pigeons be improved? In order for us to achieve ideal farming returns, we must be careful and patient during the raising process. Below, the Qiannong Network editor shares with you the common measures for improving the survival rate in meat pigeon farming!

Pay attention to regulating the temperature and humidity of the pigeon house: in cold weather, set up windproof and warm facilities for the pigeon house; during the rainy season, keep the nesting pad material of the squab nests dry and fresh; in the hot summer, ventilate and dissipate heat in the pigeon house to prevent the squabs from suffering heatstroke.

Prevent adjacent squabs from fighting, so as to avoid injury or death.

Pay attention to keeping the brooding nest pans and pad material clean, remove pigeon droppings every day, and also keep them dry.

Pay attention to the hygiene of the meat pigeons. If the breeding of pigeon mites, pigeon lice or pigeon fly larvae is found, eliminate them promptly.

Provide meat pigeons with sufficient and balanced nutrition. When squabs are 8 to 24 days old, they grow and develop very quickly, and their feeding needs also increase. At this time, mung beans and hulled wheat should be added to the feed. Feed, health sand and clean drinking water must be supplied without interruption, and at night the lights should be turned on once to feed and water them.

Carefully observe whether the squabs are sick, so as to achieve early detection and early treatment of diseases.

The above are the main measures for improving the survival rate of meat pigeons. To obtain good returns, pigeon farmers must not be negligent during the stage of raising and managing squabs. They should feed them patiently and care for them attentively, ensuring that the squabs not only survive but are also healthy.
