Generally suitable for family breeding, the first pigeon breeding 100 pairs of breeding pigeons covers an area of about 35-40 square meters. In addition to using idle old houses, you can also build some simple pigeon houses, cover them with nylon nets, and raise young pigeons before pairing. It's best to build a courtyard with monoclinic glass frame, produce pigeon loft and use solar energy for heating. However, this house has a large investment and is not suitable for general family farming.

Second, the daily feeding management

1. Breeding pigeon. Breeding pigeons have strong resistance and seldom get sick. In addition to providing adequate food, water and sanitary sand, the most important thing is to strengthen the management of parent pigeon hatching and brooding. Parent pigeons can lay 2 eggs at a time, with an interval of 1 day, and each production cycle is 40 days. If they are only allowed to lay eggs and are not allowed to hatch, they can lay 6 eggs (3 times) every month. The newly-born eggs will be artificially illuminated about 5 days after hatching to destroy the sperm eggs. Take another photo about 13 days to prevent dead embryos and eggs. After picking out the eggs of azoospermia or dead embryos, the remaining eggs should be merged in time. It is an effective measure to increase the yield of breeding pigeons by adopting the production mode of two eggs and three eggs and increasing the illumination by using electric lights.

2. Daily management of squab. The hatched young pigeons were fed by male pigeons and female pigeons in turn, and after 7 days, they were fed with the slurry-grain mixture digested by new pigeons, and gradually fed with whole grains. In order to improve the survival rate of young pigeons and fatten them quickly, young pigeons should be carefully managed. If two young pigeons, one big and one small, are found, which may be caused by indigestion, the sick pigeon should be fed with three pieces of sanitary sand and half a piece of yeast, and each young pigeon with diarrhea should be fed with half a piece of oxytetracycline and 1 dichlorvos. In addition, we should try our best to improve the environment of the pigeon house, regularly ventilate and exhaust, prevent colds and ensure the healthy growth of young pigeons.

3. Raise young pigeons. The breeding pigeons before pairing belong to young pigeons. Pigeons can be fed twice a day, and it is advisable to eat them within half an hour each time. Overfeeding not only wastes feed, but also easily leads to fattening of breeding pigeons and affects pairing. Because this period is in the molting stage, it is necessary to strengthen the nutrition of breeding pigeons, besides adding enough protein into the feed, it is also necessary to supplement various vitamins regularly. In addition, the young pigeons must be deworming once before breeding, so as to promote the smooth breeding production of breeding pigeons.

Third, the formula of healthy sand

Health sand can supplement nutrients and trace elements that pigeons can't get in feed, which is very beneficial to pigeon digestion. Therefore, it is known as the "secret weapon" in aquaculture. After many proportioning experiments, Luxiang Special Farm in Feixian County summarized the following formula: medium sand 25%, shell pieces (less than 0.8 cm in diameter) 20%, gypsum 5%, salt 3%, old lime 5%, charcoal 5%, trace element additive 7%, bone meal (fried) 65,438+05% and loess 65,438.

Fourth, disease prevention and treatment.

Pigeons have strong disease resistance and seldom get sick. Under special circumstances, they are prone to the following two diseases:

1. Paratyphoid fever. Prevention: When the climate and environment change, add penicillin and streptomycin to drinking water, with the dosage of 800,000 units of penicillin and streptomycin for injection, and mix them into 15 kg water for 3 days. Treatment: (1) Tetracycline antibiotics and 0.3% chloramphenicol were mixed in the feed for 5-7 days. (2) The feed was mixed with sulfadiazine and the same amount of sodium bicarbonate for 3 days. In addition, furan drugs also have a good therapeutic effect on this disease, but they are easy to be poisoned and should be used with caution.

2. Paramyxovirus. Vaccinate against paramyxoplasmosis twice a year. The specific method is as follows: firstly, drinking water with Newcastle disease four-line attenuated vaccine, and injecting 1 ml oil emulsion inactivated vaccine into each pigeon at the same time. Where conditions permit, it is best to use pigeon-specific paramyxovirus vaccine. Once the disease occurs, in addition to vaccination, the dead pigeons should be buried deeply and disinfected once a day to completely eradicate the pathogens.
