Bug Ecological Chicken Nowadays, people's living standards have improved, but they may eat less and less. Pork is tasteless, chicken is not fragrant, and off-season vegetables are lighter than water... A person who has been engaged in exporting food for 40 years

Veteran experts in drug residue inspection pointed out that based on the first-hand information they have, the more greenhouse vegetables and the more out-of-season vegetables, the less edible they are.

He believes that there are very few safe foods to eat.

I remember that when I was a child, my favorite food was chicken thighs in chicken soup. The fragrance of rural chickens at that time has now become a thing of this world.

By chance, the author went to Hegou Village, Yinhai District, Beihai City. The local insect chickens and insect ecological eggs produced and raised by a local farm that breeds earthworms, flies, and livestock and poultry breeding cycles made me taste the delicious food I had not seen for a long time. The lingering fragrance

The tongue twisting has been going on for many days, and every time I think about it, I can't help but praise this "chicken": it reminds me of the taste of chicken from a long time ago.

How the Bug Chicken was Born The so-called Bug Chicken is not a new breed of chicken, but is named after the raw material that is fed - grain worms.

On the farm, the insect chickens are fed fresh maggots, earthworms, and pests and grow in an environment of green fruit trees.

The breeders transport the raised maggots and culture material to the chicken coop every day, allowing the chickens to eat freely. Even the water the chickens drink is an ecological microorganism - EM water.

Because fly maggots have an astonishing reproduction rate, which is enough to supply chickens with fresh food for a lifetime, a new generation of insect chickens was born in the "Hegou Ecological Farm".

According to reports, although there are no fixed requirements for the selection of insect chicken breeds, they are generally relatively expensive local chicken breeds.

For example, British lady chickens, French guinea fowls, American colorful chickens, mountain black chickens, etc.

Manager Jiang, the person in charge of the farm, introduced that such "ecological comprehensive breeding farms" have been set up in many places across the country. They are ecological manors lined with green trees. In such an environment, insect chickens enjoy the insect delicacies given by the farmers and grow naturally.

Insect chicken is eaten with the original flavor and nutritious insect active protein. It is known as the "complete nutritional food for human beings in the 21st century".

In particular, fly maggot protein not only contains a large amount of chitin, antimicrobial peptide defensins and exogenous lectins that have special effects on the human body; it is also rich in nine essential amino acids and proteins, free amino acids, vitamins, mineral elements,

Unsaturated fatty acids and other nutrients are easily absorbed and transformed.

In addition, it has macro mineral elements calcium, potassium, sodium, magnesium, etc.; trace mineral elements iron, zinc, copper, manganese, cobalt, chromium, selenium, boron, iodine, etc.

What is the charm of bug chicken? According to relevant experts: Bug chicken feeds on high-protein grain insects throughout its life, enriches the "energy" of a variety of insects, and becomes the most ideal carrier for insect protein conversion. Its most attractive feature is

Its nutritional value is that it is rich in vitamin E, and its content is 8-10 times higher than that of commercially available chicken.

Now the farm has started to register the trademark of insect chicken, and selected Hegou native chickens as breeder chickens to raise and develop insect chickens and ecological egg products to supply the market. The free-range forest ecological chicken technology uses the ecological environment of the forest area to raise local chicks or eggs.

Chickens are used to identify male chicks, and the production model of free-range feeding in mountains and forests, free feeding of insects and weeds, supplemented by artificial supplementary feeding of mixed concentrates, and overnight boarding in houses is becoming more and more popular.

Because the air in the mountainous area is fresh and the water is pollution-free, the chickens eat a large number of insects and natural wild grass seeds, so the chickens consume less feed and the cost is low.

The technology of raising forest ecological chickens is briefly described as follows: 1. Select a good site and complete facilities. The breeding of forest ecological chickens is generally selected at the junction of natural secondary forest edges and forest grasslands.

There are no pollution sources around the chicken house site, it is sunny and leeward, the terrain is high, the water source is sufficient, the water quality is good, water intake is convenient, and drainage is easy.

Chicken houses and sports grounds: A sufficient number of insulated brooding houses must be built according to the breeding volume. The area is calculated as 100 birds/square meter. The structure and materials of the brooding houses must be adapted to local conditions, with low investment and practicality.

As long as the house has a high terrain, no moisture, no coldness, good insulation, sufficient lighting, smooth ventilation, easy cleaning and disinfection, and prevention of rodent and wild animal damage, etc.

The sports field is surrounded by a plastic mesh fence, and a deep ditch with a width of more than 60 cm is dug outside the mesh to drain water and reduce the water level in the venue.

The site is flat and has convenient natural drainage. Piles of granular sand are piled in the site to allow the chickens to take a sand bath and feed.

According to the number of chickens, the roosting sheds should be built. After the chicks are decooled, they can enter the roosting sheds after grazing.

The habitat shed only needs to be protected from wind, rain and sun exposure.

The lying area is high, the ground is easy to clean and is not wet. In order to save construction costs, more than two floors of chicken roosting beds can be built.

Drinking fountains and feed troughs need to be prepared. Each brooding chicken only needs to occupy 2.5 cm of the drinking position and 5 cm of the feeding position. The surface of the drinking fountain and feeding trough should be smooth, light, and easy to operate manually for rinsing and disinfection.

2. Choose healthy chickens. Local breed chickens are the best. You can also buy laying hens from a hatchery to identify male chicks.

Whether it is local chicken breeds or laying hens, male chicks must be introduced in batches to hatcheries with good epidemic prevention and no epidemics.

Adhere to the selection of healthy chicks, eliminate sick and weak chicks, and select chicks with neat feathers, moderately sized abdomen, soft and elastic, well-contracted umbilical ring, big and bright eyes, loud and loud calls, lively and active, and strong grip.

Struggles powerfully in the hand.
