The sales of pigeon eggs are relatively good, how to raise pigeons at home?

You can keep pigeons at home, and you can also eat healthy pigeon eggs, so you need to master the following points.

Nowadays pigeons are very popular, especially the meat pigeon, which is the preferred breed for many farmers. Pigeon meat is said to have the effect of healing wounds, and the nutritional value of pigeons is also very high, and ordinary families usually like to buy pigeons to eat. In addition, pigeon eggs are much higher than eggs, especially a parent likes to buy pigeon eggs for children at home.

In fact, you can raise pigeons at home, and you can pick up pigeon eggs at home and eat them.

Generally, pigeons are raised in the countryside, because raising pigeons will be very noisy, and the pigeons will keep cooing every day, and if they are in the city, they will at most keep a few at home as pets to play. However, the area of the countryside is large, and the average family is a small two-storey family, and the upstairs room can be vacated to raise pigeons, or a few separate houses can be built specifically for raising pigeons, but pigeon ridges must be purchased.

The pigeon must be kept in the pigeon cage, otherwise it will fly away. The little pigeon that has just started to raise is very weak, this is still the little pigeon feathers have not grown well, this time is also the most critical time to feed, must be fine, usually feed the food to be easy to digest, their digestive function at this stage is not very good, so we must learn more about this knowledge, you can grind the feed a little finer to feed.

The pigeon will change its feathers once in the process of growing up, and the pigeons will be more robust after changing the feathers, so it can be said that they are adult pigeons, so it is much easier to raise. But remember to do a good job of epidemic prevention for pigeons, many farmers will ignore this, pigeon is a group, so the pigeon is generally dozens or even hundreds, so it is necessary to do a good job of epidemic prevention, to prevent one pigeon from getting sick, others may also be sick.

Therefore, we must find professional and technical personnel to do epidemic prevention, usually when they need to be vaccinated they are clear, do a good job of epidemic prevention can help reduce the loss of farmers to the greatest extent. Another point is very important, is to clean up the pigeon feces in time every day, the pigeon daily defecation is very large, especially in hot weather is easy to breed bacteria, the smell is also very bad, so be sure to clean up in time.

Finally, it is feeding, they like to eat dry food, such as corn kernels and the like, and they can also feed some green vegetables, which can help promote their digestion. There is also a ready-made feed available, but for the small number of pigeons raised by the farmer, it is enough to eat the food at home.

First of all, we must prepare the pigeon cage, water and heating equipment for the pigeon, and then select the right pigeon and feed the pigeon according to the scientific feeding method.

Pigeons are generally raised in the countryside, because they are very noisy, and the pigeons cooing every day. If you're in the city, you'll be able to keep it as a pet at home. However, the rural area is large, and the average family is a two-story small apartment, and the upstairs room can be vacated to raise pigeons.

The pigeons should be kept in the pigeon cage, otherwise they will fly away. The little pigeons that were raised at the beginning were very weak, and the feathers of the little pigeons had not yet grown. This time is also the most critical time for land cultivation, so be careful.

The food you usually feed digests better, so you can grind the feed and feed it. The pigeons change their feathers once as they grow. Pigeons are healthier when they change their feathers.

It can be said that the adult pigeon is much easier to raise.

Eating corn, which they usually like to eat, can help the pigeon's stomach to digest and also make the pigeon grow healthier.

In recent years, the development of China's meat pigeon industry can be described as very rapid, and there has been some progress in production capacity and technology, and it has embarked on the road of scale, industrialization and intensification, but there are still many deficiencies. This article on China's current distribution of meat pigeon breeding, pigeon stock, pigeon slaughter, export **, etc., because pigeon meat has many effects such as nourishing and nourishing qi, supplementing nutrition, calcium and blood, and pigeon is a high-protein, low-fat food, China's folk have "one pigeon wins nine chickens" saying, so pigeon meat is favored by consumers on the market. Let me introduce you to some of the more suitable pigeon breeds for novices.

1. Mondan pigeon.

The fattening effect of the Montan pigeon is better, the slaughter speed is fast, it is a kind of high-quality meat pigeon, the Montan pigeon breeding is suitable for the first time to raise the meat pigeon crowd, and the market price of the Montan pigeon is also very good, and the future is very promising, but its breeding ability is a little low.

2. King pigeon. The king pigeon is one of the most famous meat pigeon breeds in the world, with high reproduction rate, fast growth and high feed-to-meat ratio, and is one of the excellent meat pigeon breeds. For novices, it is recommended to breed crossbred king pigeons, i.e. white-feathered king pigeons, on meat pigeon farms. It has many advantages, such as good production performance, large size, fast growth, strong disease resistance, high immunity rate, high profit and so on.

It is also very suitable for novice breeding.

3. Kilogram pigeon.

The kilogram pigeon was bred by Chen Wenguang, a famous pigeon expert in China. In fact, the kilogram pigeon, as the name suggests, is a large body. And the kilogram pigeon because of its large size so it is very sought after in the market, the young pigeon of the kilogram pigeon early growth fast, early maturity, easy to fat, very feed-saving, is a good quality meat pigeon, can be said to be high yield.

4. Shiqi pigeon.

Shiqi pigeon is the product of the introduction and improvement of China's farmers, and it belongs to the large-scale excellent meat pigeon products. Shiqi pigeon meat tender, juicy, delicious, and the protein content is higher, the fat content is lower, in terms of breeding, after decades of breed improvement, with good genetic stability, wide adaptability, resistance to rough feeding, strong disease resistance and many other advantages.

Plum Bird, Kaman, Huben, Gommaire, Jos, Cooper, these varieties are very good, the survival rate of pigeons is relatively high, and it is very easy to breed, and the cost of breeding is also low.

The breeds that are easier for novices to raise are Montan pigeons, king pigeons, Shiqi pigeons, and Luan pigeons, which are relatively simple ways to breed this pigeon, so it is more suitable for novices.

Wu Song, This variety is very good, you can choose to breed, it is relatively simple, and there are not too many problems.

There is a market for pigeon breeding.

You can first consider the local market, the hotel, restaurant, supper barbecue restaurant or vegetable market where live poultry is sold, so that the pigeon, eggs and the old pigeon can be disposed of. Pigeon manure can be seen in the countryside, as long as it is sold once, someone will ask to buy it. Breeders have to look at the market, as long as the local pigeon sales are opened, there will naturally be people to develop pigeons!

It is best to produce suckling pigeons, supplemented by selling breeding pigeons.

In recent years, breeding meat pigeons is still very good, as long as the market demand is large, sales must be good This is not to be questioned. Why has the number of users of meat pigeon breeding increased sharply in the past two years? There must be a reason for that.

The sales volume of the meat pigeon market is very good, not only the sales are good and the first is more stable, the profit margin is very considerable, it can be regarded as a very new type of breeding industry in recent years.

Precautions for breeding pigeons

1. Fixed-point feeding: Pigeons should be fed at a fixed point, mainly feeding mung beans, wheat, sorghum, corn, various vegetables, etc.

2. Pay attention to cleanliness: the trough and aquatic plants in the pigeon loft should be cleaned every day, and the grass mat should be dried regularly to keep it clean and dry.

3. Quiet environment: pigeons like quiet, afraid of disturbance, the surrounding environment is too noisy will affect its nest love, easy to disturb at night.

4. Disease prevention and control: pigeons introduced from outside should be strictly quarantined, and the pigeons should be bathed regularly to prevent parasites.

Rational preparation of meat pigeon feed to meet the nutritional needs of breeding pigeons; Rational preparation and sufficient supply of health care sand; Pay attention to the selection and retention of high-yielding breeders and the breeding of high-yielding lines; Strengthen health care and disease prevention and control.

Reasonable preparation of meat pigeon feed to meet the nutritional needs of breeders: feed formula: 50% corn, 15% wheat, 10% cereals, 5% broken rice, 20% beans (preferably black beans).

Because yellow corn contains vitamin A and lutein, which can improve egg production, while white corn is lacking, yellow corn should be used more. Grain germ contains tocopherol, which can also promote egg production, so its dosage should not be reduced.

Reasonable preparation and sufficient supply of health sand: In addition to adding loess, charcoal, salt, and river sand, 3% "multi-dimensional" or "egg-laying more % bone meal" should be added to the health sand. Many pigeon farms have not prepared the sand properly, which has affected the increase in egg production rate.

Pay attention to the selection of high-yielding breeders and the cultivation of high-yielding strains: all breeders with strong egg production persistence, short winter breaks, high egg production intensity and more than 8 pairs of eggs per year can be regarded as high-yielding pigeons and should be given reserved production. For the cultivation of high-yielding lines, the excellent offspring of high-yielding pigeons can be cultivated through the breeding and crossbreeding of this variety.

Strengthen health care and disease prevention and control: any kind of disease has an impact on the laying of Zen or egg rate, especially the pigeon paratyphoid, pigeon tuberculosis, white dysentery can make the pigeon completely stop laying eggs.

Meat pigeons have high economic benefits and are easy to raise. Breeding meat pigeons has the characteristics of low investment, quick results, easy management, high economic benefits, low risk, wide range of adaptation, strong disease resistance, normal reproduction all year round, and not affected by the climate, and is a good way to make a fortune in the new century. The benefits of breeding are briefly analyzed as follows:

1.Feed: meat pigeon feed for raw grain, no need to process and crush, mainly corn, wheat, sorghum, rice and beans, each pair of production pigeon according to the annual average production of 7 pairs of pigeon production calculation, the annual feed about 90 pounds (including feeding pigeon feed), now the market per pound of feed cost ** about yuan, the total need for about yuan.

2.Medication costs: Although the pigeons are basically not sick, in the process of large-scale factory breeding, the first thing to do is to inject the vaccine against paramyxovirus disease twice a year (pigeon Newcastle disease); followed by the prevention of intestinal and respiratory tract and pigeon pox in summer and autumn; In order to increase the yield, it is necessary to add some health care drugs such as vitamins, trace elements and regular disinfection supplies in the breeding area, etc., and each pair of production pigeons costs up to 5 yuan per year.

3.Salary: In the professional farm, all aspects of breeding facilities are very complete, breeders are well trained, each person can feed the production of more than 800 pairs of pigeons, the monthly salary is calculated at 800 yuan, each pair of production pigeons need up to 10 yuan.

You can also calculate wages according to individual performance, our company is like this, each breeder produces pigeon every month, according to the piecework wage of one yuan each, in order to improve the quality of the pigeon, you can also pay by the weight of the piece, such as a pound of pigeon one yuan, which can greatly improve the quality and production of pigeon.

4.Utilities: Calculated at a maximum of 1 yuan per pair of production pigeons throughout the year. Our company uses about 2,000 yuan of electricity a month.

5.Other expenses: such as transportation expenses, communication expenses, entertainment expenses, depreciation expenses, etc., at 4 yuan per year per pair. This item is different from company to company and cannot be compared.

Total total cost: If you raise 10,000 pairs of breeding pigeons, a normal production of 70,000 pairs of pigeons, now each pigeon for about 28 days market price of 8 13 yuan, gross income of 1121.82 million. The annual cost of each pair of production pigeons is 96 yuan, and 16.86 million yuan can be left.

If the scale is about 1,000 birds, the rearing work is borne by family members, and there is no need to hire workers, which can save wages and other expenses. The above content is based on the experience of our unit for many years and combined with the actual situation of other pigeon farms, which is for reference only.

I think that meat pigeons are economically efficient, and there is no difference in the difficulty of breeding.

Eat a reasonable diet with more corn and grains.

Physiological characteristics: They have long wings and strong flying muscles, so they fly quickly and powerfully. The male and female are paired for life, and if one of them dies, the other partner does not accept a new partner much later. Pigeons perch on tall buildings or rocky cliffs, often in groups of dozens, flying fast and flying at low altitudes.

Foraging for seeds and fruits on the ground or on trees. Build a nest with hay and twigs in the crevices of mountain cliffs. The nest is flat and disc-shaped, slightly concave, and generally lays 2 eggs per nest, and the eggs are white.

The domestic pigeon was domesticated from the original pigeon. Its species is found in Europe, northern Africa and Central Asia, and in China it is found in the northern, western and central parts of the Xinjiang Uygur Autonomous Region. The body length is 295 360 mm, the head, neck, thorax and upper back are slate-gray, the upper back and prothorax have metallic green and purple flashes, the rest of the back is pale gray, each wing has a black transverse spot, the tail feathers are slate-gray, and its end is a broad black transverse spot, similar to that of male and female.

The pigeons are plump, small beaked and docile. He walks in a stride with a characteristic nodding motion.

People take advantage of the characteristics of pigeons such as strong flying ability and homing ability to breed different breeds of carrier pigeons. A pigeon's homing ability means that a young pigeon can still find its original nest when it grows up in one place and takes the pigeon to a long distance. Human pigeon breeding has a history of more than 5,000 years, and many breeds with different traits have been formed.

There is no conclusion as to how exactly the pigeons will be able to identify the direction of their homing. The theory of magnetic fields, the theory of the sun, the theory of smells, etc., all have their own basis. Maybe the pigeons are using a combination of these skills.
