Entrusted by Li Chunlong, a famous pigeon breeder in Kunming, the author dictated and burned a CD on the computer video. He began to raise pigeons at the age of five, and by the age of 70 this year, he has kept pigeons for 60 years in a row except for school and military service. Through his 60 years' efforts, he introduced the cultivated bamboo roots and Kyoto grey pigeons in the early stage to support the thank-you letters and pennants of pigeon lovers all over the country. The ground is more than one meter high, *** 103. In the words of pigeon lovers, it is "pigeon droppings on your hands, which are difficult to wash off." After 60 years of shoveling and shoveling, I have accumulated good methods and experience in raising pigeons all my life. After the old gentleman dictated and recorded it through my poor handwriting, he introduced it to pigeon lovers for communication. Because the author is just a little ignorant and can't face the mask directly, omissions and mistakes are inevitable. I still hope that the pioneers, predecessors and peers in the pigeon industry will give me some guidance. I hope these experiences will be helpful and useful for pigeon lovers. * * * is also a little contribution made by the old gentleman to pigeon lovers to improve their pigeon raising level, raise pigeons happily, live happily and enjoy pigeon racing. This article was faxed to the old gentleman and read again and again, and he agreed to publish it in the book.

First, pigeons must be located first.

First of all, what is the purpose of raising pigeons? Is it entertainment or competition? Are you going to take part in the shed race or the local race? Is it a plain or a hilly area? Only when the purpose is clear can pigeons be raised in the shed. The purpose is entertainment, as long as you are happy, you can raise any pigeons. The purpose is to participate in local competitions, so we should base ourselves on pigeon lovers with good local achievements and good reputation and ask them to support pigeon breeding. The purpose is to participate in the public shed competition, so the descendants of the winning pigeons based on the public shed auction will be sent to the public shed auction, so there is nothing wrong.

Second, the establishment of breeding pigeons.

1. If you are a novice, there are no pigeon friends nearby, you don't know about pigeons, and you don't have much money, then you can go to the local pigeon market to see pigeons. You can buy the kind that pigeon fanciers see the most. The second is to pick older pigeons (provided that the female can lay eggs and the male can hit the target). If there was nothing special about this pigeon, it wouldn't last so long. After the mountain is flourishing, it will be paired, and the offspring will be released for inspection, leaving the homing, and then introducing the pigeons after they can know each other. As a surplus, why not? The advantage is that you are fooled and have the right to be a tuition fee without spending much money.

2. Novices should pay special attention to those old species that fly well in the local area and return to their nests many times in difficult competitions. If they get a pair of old local pigeons (note: in order to preserve the species in the future, try to buy the pigeons of the next generation 1-2. After they are released well, they can be used for blood recovery and purification. You can also buy 10 young pigeons at the same time, and leave the best ones through the flying test. If the release is not ideal, pigeon owners are likely to support pigeon breeding and provide breeding and feeding training techniques for free again. After a single prosperity, ten offspring will be born. After six months, you can only enter the ranking or return to the nest, so you deserve attention. Among them, when a pigeon has been competing for 300, 500 or even 700 years from the first year to the third year or even the fifth year, it can still get a good ranking or homing like the first year, which shows that it is stable and has development potential, then this pigeon is your best basic breeding pigeon. I refuse to sell my bamboo roots and Kyoto grey old pigeons, no matter how high others bid. Starting from this pigeon, the racing pigeons with ordinary performance are taken as the first choice, put in the pigeon breeding shed, re-examine them after a while, kick out the good ones, and then look at their intelligence, eyes and psychological quality to strive for perfection. It is best to use brothers and sisters for future generations, and the common coefficient of blood relationship is the highest. Use them to breed the next generation, and then cross other strains when the racing pigeons come out.

Third, learn to recognize pigeons before raising them.

Identification of good pigeons:

1. Pigeons flying in the middle and long distance are slightly longer than those flying in the short distance, and they are lighter and feel better. Pigeons flying in short and medium distances should be short and lean forward, and some should press their hands, that is, they should be slightly heavy, regardless of their body shape. Therefore, good body shape is one of the key factors of speed in different competitions.

2, with a pear-shaped or stick-shaped figure, the bones should be as tough as steel, the back is wide, strong and slightly arched, and there is a good sense of balance in the hand. The keel should be stable, the front end should be closed, the pubic bone should be hard and closed, the egg door should be tight, the scapula should be short and thick, the muscles should be as soft and elastic as glutinous rice, and should be light in the hand. The sand on the bottom sand surface is shiny, radiant, full of vigor, focused eyes, contracted eyes, rapid back and forth movement of pupils, silky soft feathers, fleshy waist and a tail. This is a good pigeon.

Fourth, match the trick

Pairing is the key to flying with good breeding pigeons. Golden pairing is rare, that is to say, a male pigeon and different female pigeons all make achievements, while the female pigeon and different male pigeons all make achievements, so put the male and female pigeons together, which is golden pairing. It's hard for pigeon lovers to meet such a good thing all their lives. Then let's see how Miss Li does it.

1. As a breeder, it is best to have a thick pigeon eye. For an award-winning pigeon or carrier pigeon, the value of breeding pigeon eyes (that is, the whole circle of colored eyes) is greater than the value of the competition, and success is not far from you.

2. In the previous generation, homogeneous eye sand (sand belt, yellow belt), pigeon parents wanted coarse sand, full coarse sand with fine coarse sand, single-pipe sand belt with double-pipe sand, and drawing sand belt with block sand, but the sand pressure was not fixed, and the well-developed bottom sand pigeons would come back easily. In addition, the well-developed eye sand would definitely come back, and the bottom sand and surface sand were loose and suitable, and the well-developed surface sand and colored bottom were even and thin. Nine times out of ten, this pigeon. The next generation adopts heterogeneous mating (sandy yellow), and the offspring are 1+ 1÷2 or even 1+0÷3. The newly introduced racing pigeons should be homogeneous, and the offspring pigeons will fly brighter and thicker, which means that if they mate properly, they will have a greater chance of winning, and vice versa.

3. Within one to three years, pair the male pigeon that won the championship twice in a row and returned to the nest many times with the male pigeon whose mother pigeon returned blood, and then pair it with the perfectly structured female pigeon (light weight, hard bones and smooth hair) that won the young pigeon competition, plus good maintenance, then you are not far from success.

4. Foreign monks and local nuns are the only way to success. That is to say, the success of the imported male pigeons with excellent pedigree from abroad and the local female pigeons with stable homing performance is much higher than that of imported pigeons.

5. It is very successful to pair one's own main pigeon line with imported strains from different sources of the same variety first, and then pair it with one's own main pigeon line or gold again after the offspring have matured.

6. Pairing six unique skills: (1), male sand and female yellow, (2), male bright and female dark, (3), male fine and female thick, full circle eye alignment or swing front corner eye alignment (refers to eye sand); (4), Xiao Xiong eldest daughter

(5), men are quick and women are steady, (6), men are anxious and women are quiet (referring to personality).

7, pairing taboo: two people who have not flown the road can not be paired together, increasing the unknown. Two light-colored eyes and two black eyes can't go together. I practice, but I can't fly for some reason.

8. The secret method of pairing public sheds:

(1) Excellent local old varieties matched with local old varieties of excellent pigeons are (stable) resistant to roughage and strong in disease resistance.

(2) Excellent local old breeds should be matched with imported pigeons of excellent pedigree (seeking quick while being steady).

(3) Local time-honored award-winning pigeons are matched with imported award-winning pigeons or champion pigeons (fast).

Description: The breeding pigeons of the above three formulas, Shanwang, were delivered to three pairs of pigeons at the peak by expelling internal and external worms and cleaning the respiratory tract. The first round was handed over to three different sheds with good reputation. Eggs can't be put in one basket at the same time. There is only one champion. In the second round, three couples participated in the Terby ring, and in the third round, three couples participated in the local competition. This is how I raised my children. The old one, Peter Miwei in Kyoto, Zhan Sen Pigeon in Jurgen, was the runner-up in Yunnan Red River Shed Competition (named Red River Prince, Red River Venture), and was the fourth. This kind of feeding method has enabled me to get 17 homing birds in 2000 kilometers; Return to the nest at 1500 km; 1000 km homing102; 700 kilometers home to the province 60, outside the province.

75; From 300 to 500 kilometers, only the top three returned to the nest, including 136 in the province and 69 outside the province; 107 Back to shed nest; There were 44 award-winning pigeons, including 5 pigeons with a prize of over 10,000 yuan.

Verb (abbreviation for verb) species protection

1, good results, species protection is the key, otherwise it will lose the achievements and advantages already achieved. Selecting excellent racing pigeons of the same strain to breed with distant relatives of the same species, the success rate can reach more than 60%. To choose the best gene matching, priority should be given to the excellent racing pigeons of the same strain, and it is best to keep two male pigeons and two female pigeons with the same physical characteristics. If two male pigeons are used, the younger brother's little female pigeon is used to match his younger brother, that is, the uncle matches his niece, or the elder brother's daughter matches his younger brother and the uncle matches his nephew. If it is two female pigeons, it is the best way to match their sister's son with her sister, that is, a nephew, or the sister's son with her sister, that is, a nephew, so that pigeons can be passed down from generation to generation. The breeding value of breeding pigeons should be preserved before it is proved.

2. The most unsuccessful way to preserve species is to lose the characteristics of breeding pigeons. If you lose your identity, you lose your bloodline, which is done by pairing.

The body shape of American pigeons complements the lack of body shape. In different competitions, different bodies are used to fly. In raising pigeons, there must be pigeons of different sizes. Hybrid homing pigeons are paired with close relatives or homologous pigeons.

Sixth, support the work.

Raising pigeons is a job of 365 days a year. Choosing the right breeding pigeons and carefully breeding them is the real way to maintain a high level for a long time. Keep the pigeon house ventilated and sunny. If possible, it is best to set up a screen that is 1.3m off the ground. People and pigeons can move on the screen, which can reduce the occurrence of many diseases. In addition, pigeon food is diversified, and regular disinfection and vaccination can basically save pigeons from major disasters. The specific method is as follows:

1. Every year, when the late-born pigeons grow up, they should practice widowhood and accumulate energy. Breeding pigeons should be divided into male and female pigeons and raised separately. If there are no conditions, they will also take away the pots and stop farming.

2, widowed pigeons nursed back to health:

Based on the principle of complete eating, 95% of millet, barley and 5% of corn are fed under the condition of large-scale molting. When new wool is put on in early September, add a little rapeseed and peanuts. After the coat color is bright, gradually overfeed and clear the feed, only feed clear water, keep the key sand constantly, and feed a little chopped green vegetables every once in a while, so that pigeons can be replanted.

3. Nursing care of breeding pigeons in pairs;

(1) At the beginning of every year 1 month, the combined vaccine of Newcastle disease and avian influenza is measured according to the instructions and injected into the muscles under the wing.

(2) Each pigeon is fed with a tablet of metronidazole every night for five days, and then it is watered with electrolyte for two days to remove trichomonads.

(3) Add 2ml coccidia net into 3kg drinking water, drink for 4 days, and then add electrolyte water for 2 days to remove coccidia.

(4) Each pigeon takes 1/2 tablets of levamisole hydrochloride every night, continuously feeds for two nights, and then drinks honey water for two days to eliminate nematodes in the body.

(5) Add 1 tablet of rosiglitazone for human use and 2 tablets of ciprofloxacin hydrochloride into 3kg of drinking water, stir evenly, and drink continuously for 3 days to clean the respiratory tract.

(6) Four spermicides mixed with 10 kg water can kill all parasites on the body surface.

(7) After the adjustment in the above item (1-6) is completed, put 5g of royal jelly and 20g of honey into a small-mouthed cup, stir evenly, and pour half a cup of warm boiled water into a water dispenser for free drinking twice a week.

(8) Add a small amount of Fructus Cannabis (available in local pharmaceutical factory), millet, brown rice and chopped flowers to pigeon food, and feed chopped vegetables once every two days.

(9)

Matchmaking began in beginning of spring on February 2nd. (Male pigeons and female pigeons who take the initiative to take a bath every day indicate that they have reached the peak period. ) Put the ideal male and female pigeons into the pairing cage at 9: 00 in the morning, and step on the eggs for three minutes, and the pairing is successful. If three minutes is not enough, feed separately. ( 10)

Successful couples have strong psychological and physical needs. Each pigeon is artificially fed with half a pill of 2 1 gemvita, 1 acanthopanax senticosus tablets, 1 cod liver oil capsules and 1 Jianwei Xiaoshi tablets every night. On the third day of pairing, the male and female pigeons were raised separately for three days and continued to supplement. Three days later, the paired male and female pigeons were put together, and the dry wood caught fire and did not burn. Both sides reached the psychological and physiological peak, and the eggs laid were white and big. The first pair of eggs were given to the nanny pigeon for feeding. After holding the fake eggs for 7 days, the fake eggs are taken away, and then the next couple feed themselves, reproduce themselves, and then exchange spouses.

(1 1) A week before and after hatching, adding a proper amount of glutinous rice to pigeon food is beneficial to pulp recovery. After 7 days, the pigeons were artificially fed gemcitabine 2 1 tablet and acanthopanax senticosus 1 tablet until they were delivered to the door, and the pigeons guaranteed to satisfy you.

4. Adjustment of racing pigeons:

(1) The racing pigeons should stop hybridization within two months before the competition, and be vaccinated like breeding pigeons, deworming inside and outside, and cleaning the respiratory tract. Here we only talk about the different operation methods of breeding pigeons. Trichomonas can be repelled at the same time as nematodes in the body. Let's assume that there are 50 racing pigeons, that is, 25 tablets of the two drugs are crushed together and put in a small cup with a little water. There are so many racing pigeons that it is impossible to feed them separately like breeding pigeons.

(2) Usage of key protection products: After deworming, add 1 ~ 2 amino acid solutions to a 5kg drinking pot for infusion, and add 15g of various vitamins and glucose to form a nutritional preparation. Drink 10 for free, and pigeons will fly far and high. After 10 days, feed royal jelly and honey water in drinking water in the same way as breeding pigeons. Five days later, the road training was conducted twice a week, and the obese young pigeons trained more. Last year, they took part in racing pigeon jumping training, and the state came (there were red spots and blood tendons on the chest muscles), and they often ran to the carrier pigeons to participate in the competition as the first step. During the whole competition, in addition to various feeds, amino acid water was circulated in drinking water for three days-garlic water for three days-electrolyte water for three days-honey king syrup for three days-vinegar or flat fruit vinegar once, drinking water for three days-iodine tincture for ten drops-honey king syrup for three days. Make a 10 kg water bath with 20 drops of vinegar, half a catty of salt and iodine tincture every week. This will ensure that you don't get sick for a season. It is best for the female pigeons to go on the road within five days after the young pigeons hatch, and it is best for the male and female pigeons hatched for more than five days not to compete, otherwise they will fly away easily to avoid regret.

Sixth, road training.

As the saying goes, "a mother gives birth to nine children, and all nine children are different." It is a mule or a horse that takes them out to have sex. " You can't see the quality of pigeons in your daily home flight, and you can't see the quality of pigeons on the surface. Only the air inspection and pigeon racing cage inspection are the most direct and real.

(1) Fly home twice a day for one hour each time, which reduces the number of sheds and the loss of pigeons compared with opening sheds.

(2) In addition to flying homing pigeons of 3 months old into a fan shape of 30-50km for many times, they were also brought into local radar stations, PHS receiving stations, TV relay stations and the periphery of Gao Shanfeng Valley for many times to enhance the anti-strong magnetic ability of homing pigeons. Although many pigeons have been trained, they are all excellent. Now the weather changes are extremely imperceptible and there are many networks. This special training can enhance homing ability of homing pigeons.

(3) After fan training, homing pigeons can only fly many times along the runway line, which can speed up homing. It will be released together with the pigeon club in the future.

(4) Record the homing pigeons released every time, and choose those homing pigeons with warm feet in the first echelon to participate in the competition every time, so as to achieve good results.

Pigeons can't be raised without "planting, matching, raising and training" Planting is the foundation. If you plant, you will win. If you don't plant, you will fail. Pairing is the key. The three complement each other, are indispensable and inseparable. There are no secrets and tricks to raise pigeons, only 365 days of hard work and Han Shihe = success. There is something worth learning here.
