Proud is often the most beautiful, so what is this behavior? What are the key points to pay attention to in peacock artificial breeding? Speaking of peacocks, have you only seen them in the zoo? After all, it is a national protected animal, and most of it can only be seen in the zoo. Unless the relevant documents are handled, it can be farmed artificially.
Proud is often the most beautiful, so what is this behavior? What key points should be paid attention to in peacock artificial breeding? Next, Bian Xiao will tell you about it!
1. What is smug behavior?
Peacocks with open screens are for courtship, because all peacocks with open screens are male.
Among peacocks, males are more beautiful and females are not.
The gonads in male peacocks secrete sex hormones, which stimulate the brain and unfold the tail screen.
Spring is the season for peacocks to lay eggs and breed offspring, so the male peacock unfolds its colorful tail screen and constantly makes various beautiful dance moves to show off his beauty to the female peacock in order to attract the female peacock.
After successful courtship, it lays eggs and hatches with the female peacock.
Second, the two main points of artificial breeding peacock
1, peacock culture
(1) Peacock's food is also important. Peacocks eat more than ordinary birds, so their metabolism is more vigorous. So when we feed them, we must meet the needs of their big men. First of all, we should give priority to beans, such as wheat, corn and sorghum. After feeding, their dormitory must be cleaned and occasionally given some vegetables, such as grass.
(2) Generally, a male peacock eats about ten catties, while a female peacock eats less, but she also needs eight catties. Peacocks are generally timid and docile, and are not aggressive to humans, but there are exceptions to everything. It is inevitable that some peacocks will attack humans with bad temper, so be careful not to be caught by their sharp claws when feeding. Peacock's dormitory will be disinfected once a year before winter to ensure that,
2. Peacock mating and reproduction
(1) Peacocks can generally start laying eggs in about two years, and the spawning time is usually in summer. However, it should be noted that male peacocks are generally more expensive than female peacocks, so when raising, a male peacock should try to match two or three female peacocks, and don't put two male peacocks together. As the saying goes, "two tigers are not allowed in one mountain, except one male and one female".
Peacock is the same, if two males are put together, they will fight for mating rights, which will eventually lead to the result of mutual loss.
(2) After the egg is laid, it will hatch. Our peacock's ability to pay is relatively poor, so we can take the peacock's eggs to the hens to hatch. In the process of hatching, the eggs will be turned over from time to time, which usually takes about a month. Of course, we can also use an incubator for artificial incubation, and the incubation time is about one month. But when hatching, we must adjust the humidity and temperature inside to a suitable value, which means the temperature should be around 37 degrees Celsius.
(3) brooding after hatching. When brooding, the temperature is kept above 28 degrees Celsius. If the external environment does not allow, put it in an incubator to ensure that the temperature is suitable for chicks. The best feed for chicks is Tenebrio molitor, which is not very expensive at present. It is rich in protein, which is very suitable for the growth of chicks. Pay attention to cleanliness during feeding. Generally, you can leave the incubator after one week and raise it according to normal conditions.
Ok, that's all for today's sharing. Complacency is a courtship. Usually, the peacock that opens the screen is male, and the gonads in the male peacock secrete sex hormones, which stimulate the brain and unfold the tail screen.
If you are breeding peacocks artificially, you should master the above two points!
