Where to learn ostrich farming techniques 20

The ostrich farming techniques are:

1. Ostrich breeding technology and management.

1. The place with high terrain, sunny, leeward, remote, quiet and convenient transportation is more suitable for breeding ostriches, dividing the enclosure into living areas, building fences, drinking and eating utensils, thermal insulation equipment, breeding straw mats, corridors, etc.

2. Raise ostriches in the breeding period, feed them regularly, qualitatively and quantitatively, urge the ostriches to exercise, ensure that the drinking water is clean and hygienic, and feed water 4 times a day.

3. Regular disinfection, removal of feces and food residues in the farm, and cleaning of ostrich drinking water utensils every day.

4. It is necessary to pluck the feathers on the ostrich reasonably and the feathers on the abdomen can not be plucked, and the plucking force should not be too large.

Second, how long is the breeding cycle.

1. Growth cycle.

1) The growth cycle of ostriches is generally about 24-36 months.

2) From birth to 12 weeks of age is the brooding stage of ostriches, and from 13 weeks of age to before the start of production is the growth stage, after which it enters the laying period.

3) Females generally reach sexual maturity at the age of 24-30 months.

Male ostriches generally reach sexual maturity at 36 months of age.

2. The living habits of ostriches.

1) Ostriches can go months without drinking water and often do their activities in the morning and evening. Ostriches have well-developed air sacs and an excellent circulatory system.

It is more suitable for arid climates and has extremely high heat resistance. In the heat of 58, it is also possible to go out in the wild to forage for food.

2) Ostrichs have loud and voiced calls, like to move in groups, and often have sex with zebras, antelopes, and giraffes.

Herbivorous mammals such as wildebeests.

Mixed together to forage for food, living a wandering life with the abundance of food.

Ostriches are generally 24 to 36 months can **.

The growth cycle of ostriches is generally 24-36 months, with females reaching sexual maturity at 24-30 months of age and males reaching sexual maturity at 36 months. In the young stage of the ostrich, the feed should maintain a relatively high level of nutrition, and at the same time, inorganic salts should be added.

Especially calcium, phosphorus, trace elements.

and additives such as multivitamins.

1. Characteristics of birds: ostriches have long necks, long legs, large bodies, small heads, ostriches are the only two-toed birds in the world, their big toes can bear the weight of the whole body, the running speed is extremely fast, up to 60 kilometers per hour, and can continue to run for 10-20 minutes, the average height of adult ostriches is 2 3 meters, the weight of male birds is 150-200 kg, and the weight of female birds is 120-150 kg.

2. Digestive characteristics of ostriches: ostriches are extremely herbivorous omnivores, mainly eating grasses and fruits, and also eating small animals. Ostriches have two stomachs: anterior stomach, muscular stomach, and no pouch. Ostriches have a well-developed cecum.

The small intestine and large intestine are as thick and thin, and they can completely digest and absorb the nutrients in food.

3. The protein content of ostrich meat is higher than that of other livestock and poultry meat, and the fat content of ostrich meat is lower than that of other livestock and poultry meat, and the ostrich fat content is low, and it has unsaturated fatty acids.

The high content is characterized by relatively good use of human health. The trace elements calcium, iron and zinc in ostrich meat are higher than those in other livestock and poultry meats.

4. Ostrich meat not only contains all the advantages of poultry meat, but also has high protein.

Low in fat and cholesterol.

Essential amino acids for the human body.

It is rich in calcium, iron, zinc and manganese. Therefore, ostrich meat is considered to be the most ideal healthy meat food for human rottenness.

1. Choose a suitable site to build a breeding site.

The place of sheep and ostrich should be selected in a high-terrain, sunny, leeward, remote and quiet place, but the traffic should still be more convenient, because the process of breeding will involve transportation and other issues.

After choosing a place, it is necessary to divide the living area, and then build fences, drinking water, eating utensils, thermal insulation equipment, breeding straw mats, corridors, etc.

2. Breeding during the breeding period.

If you buy ostrich seedlings, buy back should be the breeding stage, this stage of ostrich food is relatively large, it is easy to eat too much, so when feeding, it is necessary to time, qualitative, quantitative, and then promote its movement. The frequency of water feeding should be controlled within four times, and the drinking water should be kept clean and hygienic to reduce the occurrence of intestinal diseases.

In addition to feeding problems, it is also necessary to pay attention to regular disinfection, remove the feces and remaining feed residues from the breeding site, and clean drinking water utensils every day. Pull out the hair on the body reasonably, but wait until the warm season, don't be too violent, and pay attention to the feathers on the abdomen.

3. Adult ostrich breeding.

Feeding: Different bait should be provided according to feeding, and the details should be fed according to the recovery period of egg production, peak egg production, and farrowing period.

Daily management work: Usually do a good job of sanitation of bedding and sand, disinfection, cleaning and reuse. Choose safe and hygienic food, and don't feed poisonous plants.

The application of water utensils, troughs, etc. should be cleaned on time and disinfected regularly to reduce the occurrence of diseases.

Ostrich Farming Techniques:

1. Breeding site

It is necessary to choose a place with high terrain, convenient drainage, good ventilation and no shelter as a farm, and the farm should be covered with sandy soil, and the fence should be well closed and strong to prevent ostriches from running out. Ostriches are very sensitive, so the farm should be kept away from residential areas and the surrounding environment should be quiet. There should be partitions in the planning of the venue, which should be divided into sleeping areas, sports areas, rest areas, etc.

The exercise area should be large enough for the ostriches to run freely.

2. Daily feeding

Ostriches belong to the herbivorous birds, so the feed is mainly pasture, supplemented by cornmeal and the like. When feeding ostriches, you need to pay attention to the quality of the feed, if the ostrich eats the moldy feed, it will cause ostrich poisoning; Because ostriches eat a large amount of food and are prone to overeating, it is necessary to feed regularly and quantitatively when feeding, and to promote their movement.

3. Daily management

In strict accordance with the ostrich management process, it is necessary to meet the needs of feeding, drinking, exercise, rest, etc., and maintain a clean and hygienic environment in the field. Remove the leftover feed from the ostriches, clean the drinking water facilities, and remove the ostrich droppings from the farm. And regularly disinfect the farm and do a good job of padding sand and grass.

4. Management of egg laying period

Ostriches during the laying period should be fed regularly, quantitatively and in groups. For a female ostrich in the laying period, it is advisable to feed 3 times a day, and feed roughage first, and then concentrate when feeding. The amount of roughage feeding is more than 10 catties per day, and the amount of concentrate feed is about 3 catties per day.

Ostriches are reared in groups of mates 1 month before laying eggs, and the normal standard is that 1 male ostrich and 3 females are in a small flock. In order to ensure the good egg-laying performance of female ostriches, a forced farrowing period is carried out once a year, and the farrowing period is probably from November to January of the following year.

5. Disease prevention

Common diseases in ostriches include Newcastle disease, avian influenza, E. coli disease, etc., and for several common infectious diseases, chicks can be vaccinated according to the situation when they are 2 months old. Keeping the aviary clean and ventilated on weekdays, and thoroughly disinfecting the aviary and playground once a week can play a role in preventing various diseases of ostriches in advance.
