The woodchuck is a popular breeding animal nowadays, so a lot of people will want to raise woodchuck fry. Below is a carefully recommended method of raising woodchuck fry, which I hope will be helpful to you.
Rearing methods for woodchuck fry
1, woodchuck fry temperature and humidity control: the appropriate brooder temperature is: 1 ~ 3 days old 35 ~ 34 ℃, 4 ~ 7 days old 33 ~ 32 ℃, 2 weeks old 31 ~ 28 ℃, 3 weeks old 27 ~ 24 ℃, 4 weeks old for 23 ~ 22 ℃, 5 weeks of age to maintain room temperature. Relative humidity 1 to 10 days old 65% to 70%, 11 days old after 55% to 65%.
2, woodchuck seedling density: with the age change, its weight, water requirements, etc. will change accordingly, should be adjusted at the right time to feed the density, increase the number of water, food tanks. The density of net box flat or box brooder is: 1～10 days old 50～60 only/square meter, 10～20 days old 30～40 only/square meter, after that, it can be transferred to the three-dimensional cage (4-layer cage for egg pheasants' brooder), 20～30 only/square meter for 21～42 days old, 10～20 only/square meter for 43～60 days old.
3, woodchuck seedling light time control: young pheasants on the light requirements are not too strict, the first 1 ~ 3 days to maintain 24 hours of light, 4 ~ 7 days to maintain 20 ~ 22 hours of light, and thereafter, according to the situation of the young pheasants feeding quickly into the natural light. 3 weeks before and after the transfer of three-dimensional cages, the first night to all the light, in order to make the young pheasants as soon as possible to adapt to the new environment, and more than 3 watts / square meter is appropriate to be the pheasant flock! After most of the pheasants are fed and watered, natural light can be used.
4. Ventilation and indoor environment control of woodchuck seedlings: poor indoor air circulation and excessive ammonia concentration will directly affect the growth and development of pheasants and induce chronic respiratory diseases, eye diseases and other diseases. It should be ventilated frequently to keep the indoor air fresh, clear the dung and the ground in time, maintain the appropriate temperature, disinfect the chickens regularly, and evacuate the density in time. Improving the indoor environment is one of the important measures to improve the survival rate of pheasant chicks.
Breeding methods for woodchuck fryLow temperatures in the fall and winter seasons, large temperature differences between day and night, woodchuck fry flock stress, heat consumption increases, while the outside world feed resources are gradually withered, can not meet its nutritional needs, coupled with the natural light time becomes shorter, often leading to woodchuck fry production performance decline, or even stop, but also prone to respiratory diseases, gastrointestinal disorders. At present, if the woodchuck farmers take measures in time, start from the smallest point, and do every detail, the woodchuck fry will be able to realize stable production and high yield.
Insulation and ventilation are coordinated with each other, free-range woodchuck seedlings, generally using a combination of grazing and supplemental feeding, woodchuck seedling feeding, activities and other behaviors are greatly affected by environmental climate change.
In actual production, it is advocated that woodchuck farmers build plastic activity greenhouses in the sunny places after autumn, and the bottom of the inner side of the greenhouse is surrounded by a 1-meter-high barbed wire enclosure to prevent woodchucks from pecking bad greenhouses, and to ventilate the greenhouses when the weather is warm. The area of the movable warming hut is suitable for 4 to 6 birds per square meter. When the weather is bad in autumn and winter, try to reduce the stocking time, usually in the plastic warming hut activities, when the weather is warm, you can release the woodchuck seedling after 9:00 am, and take back at about 3:00 pm.
Building plastic greenhouse insulation must pay attention to ventilation, the best in the south of the sunny side of a row of ventilation windows, the north can be less stay a few, generally not windy conditions, there will be a wire mesh part of the plastic lifted up to ventilate. This can keep the air in the shed fresh, while conducive to heat preservation.
Supplemental feeding supplemental light organic combination of autumn, especially in the winter should be artificial supplemental light up to 16 hours, usually the implementation of the morning and evening two supplemental light, fixed in the morning at 5:00 a.m. to make up for the dawn, evening 5:00 p.m. to make up for the evening 9:00 p.m.. The maximum light time for woodchuck frying hens is not more than 17 hours, and at the same time, it must be ensured that woodchuck frying hens have 8 hours of dark time to rest. Supplementary light time to turn on the light and turn off the light should be regular, so as not to disrupt the life habits of the woodchuck seedling, causing uneasiness, or even alarming the flock; woodchuck seedling laying hens light should be gradually extended, can not be shortened, otherwise there will be a decline in egg production.
Increase light and feeding system should be organic combination. Single to the light does not give feed will appear fatigue, especially in winter, in the light of no material to eat, woodchuck seedling constant activity, energy consumption is more, so should pay attention to supplemental feeding.
Frequent epidemics and early prevention To prevent and control epidemics, in addition to ensuring that the woodchuck seedling feed nutrition, do a good job of heat preservation, reasonable ventilation and supplemental light, should also pay attention to the following three points:First, the establishment of a sanitation and disinfection system. Including firewood chicken seedling disinfection, drinking water disinfection, utensil disinfection, environmental disinfection, at the same time, strictly prohibit idle people, acquisition of eggs and elimination of firewood chicken seedling traders into the production area. Secondly, do a good job of vaccination of woodchuck fry. Before the alternation of summer, autumn and fall, fall and winter, do the prevention of avian influenza vaccine, and then inject every 2 to 3 months, and the vaccine of Newcastle disease should be carried out irregularly according to the antibody test, in principle, every 2 to 3 months. Stop taking antibiotics and sulfonamides for 3 to 5 days before and after the immunization, and add anti-stress medicines in the feed appropriately. Thirdly, observe diligently and treat in time. Observe the flock of woodchuck fryer chickens carefully, find, isolate, diagnose and treat the sick chickens as early as possible, deal with the sick and dead chickens appropriately, and do a good job of disinfection. At the same time, it should also pay attention to the occurrence of epidemics in the surrounding areas at any time, so as to take corresponding measures in a timely manner.
Chai chicken breeding skills①Rearing season selection as far as possible to arrange for the chicks to be de-warmed in the daytime when the temperature is not less than 10 ℃ to start rearing. ②Rearing tame guide and conditioning in order to make the woodchucks return to the shed on time, easy to feed, the dehumidification of the woodchucks in the morning and evening release, can be timed to knock pots or whistles to tame and conditioning. It is best for two people to cooperate, one in front of the whistle to open the way and throw the feed, so that the chickens follow the coaxing; the other person in the back with a bamboo pole to drive until all enter the feeding site. In order to strengthen the effect, the first few days of the beginning, every day at noon in the rearing area to set up replenishment trough and water trough, add a small amount of full-value feed and water, whistle and lead to food once. At the same time, keepers should promptly drive away chickens that return to the house early. In the evening, use the same method to return to the house to tame. So repeated training for a few days, the chickens will be able to establish the conditioned reflex.
③ supply sufficient drinking water in the chicken activities within the scope of placing some drinking utensils, such as every 50 chickens to prepare 1 ceramic pot of water. At the same time, avoid letting the chickens drink unclean water.
④Timed and quantitative supplemental feeding supplemental feeding time should be fixed, can not be arbitrarily changed.
Summer and fall can be less supplementation, spring and winter can be more supplementation; 30-60 days of age daily supplementation of about 25 grams of concentrate, daily supplementation of 1 time -2 times. The reference formula is: 61% corn, 15% soybean meal, 6% peanut kernel cake, 7% bran, 5% fine chaff, 3% fish meal, bone meal 1.7%, vegetable oil 1%, salt 0.3%. 8 weeks of age, to improve the energy concentration of the feed and the amount of feed, but also need to increase the fat, but not to add butter, mutton oil and other stinky fat. The amount of fat added is 3%-5%. The amount of daily supplemental concentrate, 3-4 months of age supplement 30 grams -35 grams, 5-6 months of age supplement 40 grams -45 grams, 7-8 months of age supplement 50 grams -55 grams, 2 times a day, 1 time in the morning and 1 time in the evening.
⑤ Fermentation of worms in the grazing field using the sterilization treatment of fermented pig and chicken manure plus 20% of the fertilizer and 3% of the bran mixed into a heap, mulching fermentation of about 7 days, the fermented material will be spread on the brick floor, covered with grass, to keep wet for about 20 days can be born worms. Every day, the fermented material will be turned over and spread part of it for the chickens to eat, which can save 30% of the feed.
⑥ Supplemental light winter and spring season natural light is short, must be implemented artificial supplemental light. 5 watts per square meter is appropriate, from evening to 10 p.m., from 6 a.m. to dawn. Can not be fierce long time supplemental light, daily light increase of half an hour, and gradually transition to 10 p.m.. If the natural light more than 11 hours a day, may not supplement the light. After the lights go out at night, there should also be some light not strong light overnight lighting, so that chickens can walk and drink. In the summer when there are more insects, you can hang some purple lights or incandescent lights in the roosting place.
⑦ Prevention of veterinary and medicinal pests should take measures to prevent weasels, eagles and other natural enemies to capture chickens. If you raise woodchucks in the orchard, be sure to use bio-pesticides when spraying pesticides.
⑧ regular epidemic prevention and deworming according to the chicken epidemic prevention program, 30-day-old chicken Newcastle disease i-series freeze-dried seedling nose drops or eye 1.5 copies, chicken pox subcutaneous prick seed double needle; 40-day-old avian influenza
oil seedling stem back subcutaneous injection of 0.4 milliliters; 50 days of age, laryngotracheitis freeze-dried seedling eye 1 copy; 60 days of age, Newcastle disease i-series freeze-dried seedling muscle injection 1 copy; 90 days of age laryngotracheitis Freeze-dried vaccine 1 head; 110 days old chicken pox freeze-dried vaccine subcutaneous double needle, Newcastle disease oil seedling myeloablative 0.6 ml, Newcastle disease iv system drinking water 4 head; 120 days old avian influenza
Oil seedling myeloablative 0.6 ml. Regular use of drugs for deworming.
⑨ Careful management of the breeding period management to do ? Five diligence?
