Partridges are omnivorous birds with strong disease resistance and are easy to raise. The staple food is plant seeds, flowers, grass, vegetables, roots, etc. For large-scale breeding, ordinary feed plus grass and leaves are used for feeding. Vacant houses and warehouses in urban and rural areas are good places to raise partridges in captivity. You can raise 10 partridges per square meter. They can also be raised in high-density multi-layer cages. A room of 50 square meters can raise several thousand partridges. After 80 days of hatching, it can reach 0.8~1.0 pounds and can be put on the market. It consumes about 2 kilograms of material and costs 3.5 yuan. After long-term exploration and practice, this farm has made major breakthroughs in breeding technology. It can start production after 180 days of breeding. Each partridge can produce 120 eggs per year. The fertilization rate, hatching rate and brooding rate can reach 85~90.

Living Habits

Partridges have been domesticated for a short period of time, only about 50 years, so domestic partridges still have many similarities and particularities with wild partridges. 1. Partridges like warmth, are afraid of cold, are afraid of heat, like light, like dryness, are afraid of moisture, and hate darkness. The suitable temperature is 20℃~24℃ and the relative humidity is 60%. The production performance of partridges is best when the day and night light time is 14 to 18 hours. Temperatures below 10°C or above 30°C are detrimental to the growth, development and production of partridges.

2. Partridges like to live in groups, are timid and easily frightened. When encountering noise or the appearance of foreign objects, they immediately become restless, jump and fly, and react sensitively. It has strong flying ability, flying fast, but the duration is short.

3. Partridges grow quickly. Especially before 12 weeks of age, the growth is rapid. The weight of a newly hatched partridge is 14 to 16 grams. At 10 weeks of age, the male partridge weighs 500 grams, which is equivalent to 33 to 38 times the birth weight.

4. Partridges have a wide range of food habits and are omnivorous birds. It can feed on weeds, seeds, fruits, leaves, insects or artificial mixed feeds, and has strong foraging ability and a wide range of activities.

5. Partridges are aggressive. Due to the short domestication time of partridges, they are still wild. Female partridges are slightly docile in nature, while male partridges are aggressive in nature. Sexually mature male partridges often fight fiercely for the female partridge during the breeding season until their heads are bloody.

6. Partridges have phototaxis. If you find light in a dark environment, you will fly towards the light
