How should young pigeons be raised?
Pigeon refers to the young pigeon within one month before the shell leaves the nest for sale or seed storage. Pigeons are late birds. Young pigeons just hatched can't open their eyes, walk and eat freely, and they can only survive by feeding their parents. The ability of temperature regulation and disease resistance is very poor, so it is the most dangerous period in the pigeon's life. At the same time, the young pigeon stage is the fastest growing period in the pigeon's life and needs a lot of nutrients. Therefore, we should pay attention to the following points in feeding management:1.Observe carefully if the young pigeon is not fed for 54 hours, and check and find out the reasons. If the breeding pigeon is sick, it should be isolated and treated, and the young pigeon should be transferred out of the nest; If it is the first time that breeding pigeons are bred, they will not be fed, and they should be artificially induced to feed. The method is: put the newborn pigeon's mouth gently into the pigeon's mouth, and after several inducements, the pigeon will be fine. 2. Nutrition should be sufficient. First, newborn pigeons can't walk and feed, and they are completely fed by their parents. Second, rapid growth and development, rapid weight gain. Therefore, parents must be fed with nutritious feed, especially protein feed, and the feeding frequency should be increased. 3. The temperature should be suitable for newborn squabs, whose feathers are short and their ability to keep out the cold is poor. Cold protection and heat preservation should be done well in winter, and when the house temperature is lower than 6℃, heat preservation facilities should be added; Heatstroke prevention should be done in hot summer, and when the house temperature is higher than 26℃, heatstroke prevention should be done well. 4. Changing the position of young pigeons In order to avoid a litter of young pigeons, the individual development is very different, so it is necessary to change the position and take care of them in a balanced way. The specific method is to change the position of two young pigeons in the same nest every 2 ~ 3 days before the 6 ~ 9-day-old pigeons can stand, so as to make the breeding pigeons take care of them in a balanced way. 5. If only one young pigeon is hatched in one nest or only one young pigeon in a pair dies in the middle, it can be merged into other single or double young nests with the same or similar age. In this way, we can avoid the phenomenon of food accumulation caused by the fact that only one young pigeon is often overfed by the parent pigeon. Pay attention to observe whether the parent pigeons refuse to feed and peck the newly merged young pigeons when they first merge into the nest. 6. Prevention and control of epidemic diseases should be careful. Pigeons should grow to 7-9 days old, and the parent pigeons should feed the pigeons from full size to full granular materials. At this time, young pigeons can't adapt to granulology well, and often have indigestion and crop diseases. At this time, we should carefully observe and solve the problems in time. For young pigeons with indigestion, we can feed half a yeast tablet and1~ 2 health sand every day. In winter, you can feed Sangju cold tablets, half a tablet a day, to prevent colds and ophthalmia. 7. Strengthen online feeding Some parent pigeons will lay eggs again when the young pigeons grow to about 15 days. At this time, the young pigeons can be raised online. Some of these parents will continue to feed the young pigeons, while others will not feed them. Therefore, it is necessary to observe carefully, artificially feed those who have no intention to feed or are not fed in time, or find a nanny pigeon to feed them. 8. Keep the nest clean and dry. The nest pots and mats that are polluted and wet by feces should be replaced in time. The house should be disinfected regularly and kept clean and dry to prevent epidemics. 9. Pay attention to putting health sand in order to ensure the health of young pigeons and improve their slaughter weight, we should put health sand on young pigeons on time every day to increase the contents of trace elements and vitamins and prevent indigestion of young pigeons. 10. Put on the anklet in time. The anklet of the meat pigeon is replaced by the chicken wing number, which is printed with the number to mark the birth time and distinguish the sister pigeons.
