How to Feed Black Chickens Feeding techniques for black chickens

Black chicken is a valuable and excellent medicinal chicken breed, and its commodity value has attracted more and more attention. So, how can you improve the survival rate of black chicks and its egg production rate? Practice has proved that the following aspects must be paid attention to when raising black chickens.

1. The digestive function of chicks is weak, so be sure to feed easy-to-digest feed, such as half-cooked millet cake mixed with cooked egg yolk according to 18 chicks per day, 10 days old can be added to the feed 10%-20% cornmeal, 8%-10% chopped green feed, 1%-bone meal, 1%-fish meal and fine sand grains washed with water. After 30 days of age, you can change the powder to mix chopped vegetables, and add bone meal, fish meal, shell meal, etc., and feed 1-2 times a day with grains (such as millet, barley, millet, etc.).

2. After the chicks hatch.

For one or two weeks, dysentery is added to the feed every day to control paratyphoid fever and chicken dysentery. After 15 days of age, feed daily with dysenteric trane, and then stop feeding for 1-2 days. After 45 days of age, attention should be paid to the prevention and control of ascariasis.

Newcastle disease vaccine can be given at and 66 days of age. If sick chickens are found, they should be isolated immediately. For those with different growth speeds and uneven physiques, they should be fed in groups.

3. According to different growth and development periods, the chicks should pay attention to heat preservation and moisture-proof, and keep the living environment fresh air, sufficient light and dry barns. Drinking water should be clean and hygienic, troughs and drinking fountains should be washed and cleaned every day, and sodium hydroxide hot solution should be disinfected once every half month. The bedding should be dried and changed frequently.

4. Hens should supplement light in winter and carry out careful feeding management at the same time in order to lay more eggs. According to experiments, the light time is extended to 13-14 hours in winter, and the nutrient-rich feed can increase the egg production rate by 22%. Here's how:

From November to January of the following year, light and supplementary feeding are given with 15-60 watt light bulbs from 5 a.m. to 6 p.m., from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., from 5 p.m. to 8 p.m., and from 24 p.m. to 2 p.m. in the middle of the night. When supplementing the light, do not suddenly light and darken, so as not to cause panic in the flock.

Black chicken is also a kind of chicken, so to a large extent, the breeding methods of the two still have a lot of similarities, generally familiar with raising chickens, if you change careers to raise black chickens or can quickly get started, after all, in general, the difference between black chickens and ordinary chickens lies in the two aspects that I told you yesterday, one is that the hair of black chickens is relatively less, and the second is that they cannot regulate their body temperature, and generally this kind of animals will have the habit of hibernation, such as snakes.

So this also means that you need to pay special attention to the temperature, this is the key to the success of raising black chickens, as for other places, there is nothing particularly important, this is the key, and it is very critical, and it can even be said that the survival rate of the black chickens you raise is how high all are pressed on this, so on this must be special attention, and to observe the change of the temperature of the black chicken itself at any time, and then to regulate the temperature in the chicken coop according to this, Of course, the black chicken is definitely not as weak as we imagined, so in general, it is only necessary to control the temperature change, probably within 5 degrees is no problem, if it is a captive black chicken, the temperature will be different because of the age of the black chicken, basically for a long time is still unchanged, so there is nothing on this but.

Then the humidity is basically unchanged, this is not as fast as the temperature changes, so it is also very simple, as long as you are in the process of raising black chickens, pay a little attention, observe the black chickens several times a day, and then make a record in time.

Then the key is to raise small black chickens, because small black chickens are very different from others, generally small black chickens are basically the kind of sluggish after birth, that is, the response is not very good, and at this time the small black chicken will show obvious fear of life, easy to be frightened, so this also makes it very difficult to raise small black chickens, because generally, it will take a long time to recover after the small black chickens are scared, Therefore, when raising small black chickens, you really need to be particularly careful and patient, otherwise it is easy to cause the growth of small black chickens to be very slow, and then have a great impact on future growth, so remember not to have a more radical behavior on small black chickens, because of this habit of black chickens, so it is best to choose a place that is far away from the crowd, or not very prosperous sections, as long as the traffic is guaranteed.

Black chicken is still very popular after growing, after all, it is a special breed, so there is generally no need to worry about the problem of sales, and then if there are conditions, you can have a good relationship with some large demand, for example, the local better black chicken needs, or a larger hotel, so that there will be a very stable market, and there is no need to worry about whether your things can be sold. Then it is best to summarize in a timely manner in the process of breeding, so that you can raise black chickens well.

1. The living habits of black chickens.

Black chickens have a docile temperament, like to live in groups, tolerate coarse food, eat less at a time, and eat less and more often. Heat-resistant, prefers a dry and clean environment. Timid and frightened, afraid of cold and damp. Strong nest holding, every 20 eggs will be held in the nest, and it is necessary to wake up in time to improve the egg production rate.

The breeding of black chickens can be carried out according to the natural geographical environment, using grass hills, grass slopes, garden lands, reservoir dams and other places. If large-scale farming is to be carried out, it is necessary to build special sites and carry out scientific breeding techniques.

2. Black chicken breeding methods.

The main nutrients needed by black chicken are: energy, protein, minerals (inorganic salts), vitamins and water.

Energy feed mainly includes: corn, sorghum, rice, wheat, dried potato meal, etc.

Protein feed: It is divided into two categories: plant protein (soybean meal, peanut meal, sesame meal, etc.) and animal protein (fishmeal, silkworm pupa meal, etc.).

The feed should be divided according to the nutritional needs of the growth stage and egg laying period of the black chicken.

The feed of black chickens accounts for 70% of the cost of breeding, so the following principles need to be followed to be careful in budgeting:

1.Feed is selected according to local conditions. Leverage local resources to reduce feed costs.

2.The feed should be of high quality, fresh and clean.

3.The feed should be diversified as much as possible, and the proportion of feed should be appropriate and the nutrition should be comprehensive. When compounding feed, it is necessary to stir it evenly repeatedly, especially the additive feed such as trace elements.

4.The feed structure should be relatively stable. Adjust the formula and replace the raw materials to gradually transition, and the formula must not change suddenly, affecting the feed intake of the flock. Don't make too many ingredients at a time, and use it for no more than a week to avoid spoilage.
