temperature: the temperature should be maintained at 32℃-33℃ in the first few days after the shell is hatched, because there is no hair yet; With its growth and development, the temperature can be gradually reduced, usually by 2℃-3℃ every week, and it needs to be maintained at about 23℃ after 4 weeks.
humidity: pheasants like to be dry, but are afraid of being wet. Generally, chicks aged 1-7 days require a relative humidity of 6%-7%; After a week, the relative humidity can be maintained at 5%-6%. If the indoor humidity is too high, you can change the dry mat grass frequently. If the humidity is too low, a kettle can be placed on the stove to boil water to generate steam for humidification.
illumination: if you want a group of robust and immune pheasants, you should pay attention to illumination. Generally, chicks can take 24-hour light at the age of 1-2 days, but the light should not be too bright, as long as the chickens can see and eat. At the age of 3-14 days, except for feeding at night, the lights are generally not turned on during the day to facilitate the rest of the chicks. After 15 days of age, if the weather is warm, you can increase the sun exposure to sterilize and prevent diseases.
density: according to relevant data, the feeding density is directly related to the hygienic condition of indoor air and the emergence of addictions in chickens. The density of chickens is too high, the air in the brooding room is turbid, the carbon dioxide content is increased, the smell is strong, the sanitary conditions are poor, and chickens are prone to diseases. Chickens are crowded with food and water, and hunger is uneven, which affects their growth and development. The density of chickens is too small, the utilization rate of houses and equipment decreases, and the cost of brooding increases, which affects the feeding efficiency. The suitable feeding density of chicks is generally 1-2 weeks old, and about 3 chicks can be raised per square meter; In the future, with the increase of age, it can be reduced by 5 per week; By the age of 7-8 weeks, 8-1 animals can be raised per square meter.
Feeding: chicks can start eating and feeding 24 hours after hatching, but they should be fed with drinking water before eating. Generally, chicks should be allowed to drink freely with two ten thousandths of potassium permanganate solution (slightly reddish) to clean their intestines and stomach. In the next few days, 5% brown sugar or glucose can be added to the water to facilitate the absorption of egg yolk by chicks. At the beginning of feeding, millet or corn can be crushed, steamed with appropriate amount of egg yolk (half-cooked or half-cooked), rubbed and scattered on plastic sheets or white paper, so that chicks can learn to peck. Chickens within 15 days of hatching should be fed 5-6 times a day, 4 times during the day and 1-2 times at night, and then gradually transition to 4 times after 15 days of age. It is not advisable to feed too much each time, so as to add less to the attendance. At the same time, clean drinking water should be continuously supplied, and some vitamins and antibiotics can be added in the water. In the process of feeding, we should pay special attention to the dietary changes of chicks, and drinking too much or too little water is a precursor to the disease.
Immunization: The common diseases of chicks are white dysentery, coccidiosis and Newcastle disease. At the age of 3 days, furazolidone water (2 tablets with 1 kg of water) was continuously fed for 2 days, or .3%-.5% sulfanilamide was added to the feed to prevent pullorum disease. 7-1-day-old chickens were diluted with normal saline (or cold boiled water) 1-2 times to give 1-2 drops of Newcastle disease II vaccine to their noses to prevent Newcastle disease. After 2 days of age, every 2 chickens were fed with 4, units of penicillin mixture once for 3 days to prevent coccidiosis and chicken failure. After 45 days old, each chicken was injected with .4 ml of Newcastle disease I vaccine diluted 1 times. In addition, the henhouse should be clean and hygienic, and the utensils should be cleaned every day and disinfected regularly. A lime pool or disinfection pool should be set at the entrance and exit of the henhouse to prevent outsiders from entering the henhouse casually. At the same time, we should also pay attention to preventing rats, insects, flies and fires.
Hee hee, don't neglect anti-theft when your pheasant grows up. I like pheasant very much.
