Turkey farming requires certain skills to be grasped, and only by adopting the right methods can we ensure high yield and quality of turkey production. Here are some ways to introduce you to turkey farming.

One, chicken coop construction

The construction of chicken coop is very important. First of all, we should choose a good environment. Due to the thick feathers of turkey, in order to avoid the occurrence of turkey pests and diseases, the chicken coop should be built in the arid area with good drainage and irrigation, warm in winter and cool in summer. When building a chicken coop, not only should direct sunlight be prevented from entering the coop, but also some diffused light should be ensured. Rest rooms, playgrounds, incubators, brooder rooms and artificial offices should be rationally planned in the chicken coops. Try to keep some green trees around the chicken coop to improve air quality and promote turkey growth.

Two, breed selection

Turkey breeding selection is crucial to the sustainable development of turkey breeding. Male turkeys should be healthy, disease-free, energetic and brightly colored. Female is the same, on this basis at the same time to ensure that female turkeys have good reproductive capacity, breeders can not be used for a long time. They should be replaced regularly and poor quality breeds should be eliminated in time. Generally speaking, female turkeys should not be used for more than two years, while male turkeys can be used for a longer period of time. After selection, we should do a good job of breeding to improve the quality of breeding eggs and ensure the benefits of breeding.

Three, breeding management

Female turkeys lay their first eggs at about eight months. Egg-laying occurs from April through August each year. She usually incubates about 12 eggs. Turkeys usually mate on their own, but inbreeding should be avoided during mating. When turkeys mate on their own, due to the different body sizes of males and females, females are injured at a higher rate, which can affect their reproductive ability and economic efficiency. Therefore, artificial breeding should be carried out appropriately to increase the mating ratio to about 1:20, which can improve the reproduction rate and effectively reduce the cost of feeding.

Four, incubator manager

Turkeys have a strong reproductive ability. When raising young turkeys, female turkeys should pay attention to the control of light, to avoid the environment is too noisy, affecting the incubation of turkeys. The proportion of dry material should be increased and the proportion of wet material should be minimized during incubation. During incubation, eggs are cared for and inspected weekly to detect dead eggs and eggs that did not hatch in time. After raising her poults, the mother turkey becomes weak from lack of food. Therefore, male and female turkeys should be kept separately to regain their strength as soon as possible.

The above is about the turkey breeding points analysis as well as the method introduction, for your understanding reference and learning, I hope it will help you.
