Pigeon breeding process, farmers how to choose pigeon breeding equipment? What are the pigeon breeding equipment? Below I will take you to a detailed understanding of it.
What are the pigeon breeding equipmentPigeon breeding equipment and utensils mainly include pigeon cages, nesting houses, nesting basins, feeding troughs, drinking water, health care sand cups and perches.
Pigeon cage
1, cage materials: cage pigeon cage, generally using bamboo, wood and wire mesh production cage. Large pigeon farms use cabinet type multi-layer pigeon cage.
2, pigeon cage specifications: large pigeon farms use cabinet type multi-layer pigeon cage (size of 45 cm high, 50 cm wide, 70 cm deep), there are many types of models, but more often used is a 4 layer 8 pigeon cage, can raise 8 pairs of pigeons. Individuals or rearing professionals generally build bamboo pigeonholes or wooden bars to make the frame according to local conditions, around and up and down can be small bamboo bars around the cage, some frames are made of steel, and then surrounded by barbed wire around the cage.
Nest house
1, nest house requirements: should be a wooden structure, and can be put together and can be dismantled to facilitate the move.
2, nesting room specifications: each nesting room is divided into 5 layers, each pair of laying pigeons occupies one layer, with an area of 0.86 square meters, divided into front and back two parts, the front part of the laying pigeons resting room (about 0.12 square meters), the back part of the laying pigeons is the production room (accounting for 0.24 square meters), the middle of the movable boards and so on, is divided into two compartments, as a laying pigeons of the two nests. The back of each nesting room is fixed with boards, and the boards on both sides can be pulled out and inserted in layers. If you need to merge more than one nesting room, you can pull out the extra partition on one side.
Nest Pot
1, the role of the nest pot: nest pot is the laying pigeons laying eggs, holding the nest, brooding appliances. Selection of reasonable nesting basin to reduce egg breakage, improve hatching rate and the survival rate of pigeons have a certain role.
2, nesting basin production: commonly used nesting basin plastic, plaster, wood production, or bamboo sieve, tile basin production, but also available straw or straw preparation of grass nesting basin.
3, nesting basin requirements: nesting basin diameter of 22?26 cm, basin depth of 8?10 cm. Nest pot is best hung in the nest pot, making it a hammock style. Nest pot is best to put on the soft, warm and moisture-absorbent padding, such as wood shavings, straw, plastic sponges, foam and so on. This not only facilitates cleaning and disinfection, warmth and ventilation, but also makes the eggs not easy to break, improve the hatching rate.
Feeding trough
Feeding trough is the trough. Requirements for pigeons easy to feed, less waste, cleaning time, low cost, and easy to manage the operation.
1, feeding trough production: useful bamboo, zinc tin, plastic, fiberboard or wood production. Commonly used bamboo feeding troughs, wooden feeding troughs and tin feeding troughs of three kinds.
2, feeding trough specifications: the size of the trough is generally 40 cm long, 10 cm wide, 8 cm deep, 1/4 of the length of the trough to put the health sand, 3/4 to put the feed, hanging flat on the cage wall outside the cage, riding between two pigeon cages for the use of the neighboring two pairs of pigeons.
If it is a feeding trough for group of pigeons, it should be placed on the floor of the loft for collective use of pigeons.
Drinking water (sink)
1, drinking water requirements
① Keep drinking water clean, sufficient water, and so that the pigeon's feet or body will not enter the drinking water, and will not make the pigeons and garbage and other pollution of drinking water.
② Keep a certain depth of drinking water (generally about 2.5 centimeters, can make the pigeon's nose tumor submerged), and add water easily.
2, cage laying pigeon drinker: cup, trough and water pipe drinker 3 kinds. Commonly used trough drinker, is a long sink, sink can be made of tin, about 5 cm high, mouth width of 6 cm, bottom width of 4 cm, the same length as the length of the cage. This sink is used by large and medium-sized pigeon farms. Single-row, double-row type pigeon cage are available, this sink can also be used for the diameter of 5?7 cm plastic pipe welded into.
3, group rearing laying pigeons and pigeon drinker: this drinker can ensure that pigeons continue to drink to the water, but also to make pigeons feet do not enter the drinker, its feces and feathers are not easy to fall into the water, is often used is a plastic drinker, a time can be 2500?5000 ml of water, and easy to use, but also to keep drinking water often clean.
How to choose pigeon breeding equipment Health sand cup Health sand, also known as salt soil, is an indispensable feed additive for pigeon survival. Containers holding health care sand is best made of ceramic, wood or plastic products, avoid using metal production, because metal products are easy to chemical changes with health care sand. Commonly used plastic drinking cups or round tube, the upper diameter of 6 cm, the depth of not more than 8 cm, a small amount of health sand hanging in the cage on the outside, so that the pigeons can eat can be. The simple way can also be in the feed trough 1/4 part of the partition, placed in the health sand for pigeons to eat. Perches A perch must be provided in the colony for the pigeons to use at night, during the day and on rainy days. The perches are very simple to make, in 2 wooden sticks nailed to a number of bamboo poles, each bamboo pole is about 20?30 cm apart, the lowest 1 bamboo pole from the ground 40 cm, to prevent moisture. Pigeon breeding greenhouse design program A pigeon breeding greenhouse of group rearing pigeon house Group rearing pigeon house is mainly applicable to young pigeons. Generally, it is a single row type of bungalow, and it can be rebuilt by using the old house. Because grass is easy to be damp and moldy, it is easy for pigeons to be attacked by mold, so don't use grass as pigeon loft. The best way to build a new loft is to use a brick structure or a wooden structure. Single row of bungalows, each with a width of 5?5.2 meters and a length of 12?18 meters. Eave height of 2.5 meters, the house with a net or bamboo wood partitioned into 4?6 small rooms, each room can raise 50 pairs of pigeons. The front and back wall of each loft should be opened before and after the window, the front window from the ground can be lower, the window area of 1.2?1.4 square meters, the front window from the ground 1?1.2 meters, in order to facilitate the summer weather winds into the house; the rear window from the ground is generally 1.6?1.8 meters, in order to avoid the intrusion of the north wind in winter. At the same time in the back wall about 20 cm from the ground, should also open a few around the opening and closing of the ground window (size 40 cm? 60 cm or 40 cm? 40 cm), in order to ventilate the air in the summer and humid weather. The floor of the house is made of red brick or concrete, which is smooth and clean, and no water will come out in wet weather. The floor is 30?40 centimeters higher than the ground of the sports ground, so as to keep the habitat dry. In addition, on the sunny side of each loft, there should be a sports ground, the length and width of which is similar to that of the loft, with a height of 2.5?2.8 meters around it, which can be surrounded by steel, logs or cement pillars and galvanized lead wire mesh, and covered by nylon netting on the top. In order to facilitate the operation and management, the location of the door of the sports ground should be consistent with the door of the pigeon loft. Second, the pigeon breeding shed of cage pigeon loft The so-called cage breeding is the production of pigeons that have been paired with a good pair of breeding pigeons 1 pair 1 pair, respectively, so that they live, eat, drink. The advantages are simple structure, low cost, easy management, stable pigeon population, high utilization rate of pigeon loft. The form of this loft has the following two kinds. 1, double-row type loft The roof is often used herringbone type, the north eave is 2.5 meters high, the south eave is about 2.8 meters high; such as glass fiber reinforced plastic tile or asbestos tiles to cover the flat-roofed type, should pay attention to the reinforcement of leakage, in order to prevent tornadoes, typhoons and windstorms attack. The depth of the loft is 2.2 meters, the center of the 0.8?0.9 meters wide operating channel, surrounded by drainage ditches. Pigeon cages facing each other, there can be 3 or 4 layers of cages, cages from the top to the ground using a tarpaulin hanging is good, winter can be put down tarpaulin warmth, the other seasons can be rolled up the tarpaulin to achieve the purpose of ventilation and light. The periphery of the cage and the upper layer of the wire mesh, by the operation of the side of the road with a wooden door or bamboo, food troughs and health care sand cups hanging on the cage door, easy to feed and observe. To facilitate water supply and rinsing, a through-length sink should be installed on the outside of the cage. The width of the cage is 60 cm, the depth is 60 cm, and the height is 55 cm. There is no interval between the upper, middle, and lower 3 layers of cages, and the bottom of the lowest layer is about 20?50 cm from the ground. The length of each row of cages is generally 18?21 meters for a 3-tier cage. 2. Single-row loft The structure of single-row and double-row lofts is basically similar. The single-row loft has only a sunny side to place the pigeon cage, and the shaded side is made of bricks, with a few windows on the wall, which is different from the double-row type. The advantage of the single-row loft is that it faces south, so it is sunny, well ventilated and warm in winter. However, its shortcoming is that the feeding capacity per unit area is reduced by half compared to the double row type and covers a larger area.
