How ostriches are farmed! Ostrich farming techniques

Ostrich is an omnivore, its digestive function is relatively good, has a special digestive system, it can take in energy in crude fiber, so do not provide too much energy feed when providing feed to ostriches. If there is too much nutrition, coupled with the energy in the green fodder, it will cause excess nutrients in the body and increase the reproductive ability of the ostrich with body fat nutrition. Moreover, the growth rate of ostriches is relatively fast, and the metabolism is fast, in order to effectively promote the establishment of microbial growth areas in the posterior digestive tract, the amount of roughage should be increased after two and a half months.

The brooding period of ostriches is a period of high incidence of various diseases, and it is also a critical period for the success or failure of breeding. The main disease of ostriches in the brooding period is respiratory infection, which is generally caused by turbid air, dirty environment, and damp ground. Respiratory diseases will have a certain impact on the growth and reproduction of ostriches, and even death, so ostriches in the brooding period should be managed by special personnel, pay attention to the state of ostriches and eating at any time, clean up the aviary, disinfect regularly, and isolate the sick birds immediately when they are found, and check the situation.

Provide a good living environment for ostriches. Regarding the breeding method of ostriches, it is relatively easy to breed ostriches, but it is necessary to pay attention to the breeding environment. Ostriches originally lived in hot and dry environments such as Africa.

If it lives in a particularly humid environment, the ostrich will develop diseases that are difficult to control, and there is also a feed that should not be fed with nutrient-rich feed.

The ostrich is very easy to raise, the ground is covered with sand, and a shed is set up on it, it is very afraid of moisture.

Don't get wet in the rain.

The sand should be thicker so that it stays dry.

Cabbage for feeding is OK.

It's not afraid of the cold, and you can see it dancing when it's snowing, hehe.

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.

1. Site selection: Ostriches should choose a sunny slope away from traffic as a breeding site. 2. Feeding:

Ostriches are omnivores, and they are provided with alfalfa grass, egg yolks, and other feeds. 3. Disease prevention: Juvenile ostriches are susceptible to respiratory diseases and should be treated with antibiotics.

4. Regular cleaning: clean the enclosure for ostriches when breeding and keep the environment clean.

1. Site selection

When breeding ostriches, it is necessary to choose the slope below 15 degrees, away from traffic, crowds and the downtown slope as the breeding ground, and to divide the rectangular sports field in the field, to provide a place for the ostrich to exercise, and there should be 2 3 sand or grass in the field, which is convenient for the ostrich to move.

2. Feed selection

Ostriches are omnivorous birds, the digestive system is more developed, can be obtained from crude fiber to grow the energy, during the breeding period to provide alfalfa grass, yellow grass, black grass, leeks and other green fodder, so that the ostrich ingestion of enough nutrients, healthy growth.

3. Disease prevention and control

When the ostrich is in its juvenile stage, it is easy to die of respiratory tract infection, at this time, it is necessary to remove all the factors that may induce respiratory tract infection in time, and inject antibiotics and other drugs for the chicks to restore their health, and observe 24 hours after the injection to avoid the death of the ostrich.

4. Clean regularly

Ostriches can not grow in a humid environment, during the breeding period to open the window of the enclosure every day to ventilate, keep the environment dry, and regularly replace the straw and straw mat laid in the enclosure to avoid breeding bacteria, when conditions permit, the enclosure should be cleaned once a week to keep the environment clean and hygienic.

1. First of all, if we breed ostriches, we need to buy ostriches, generally we can introduce them from abroad, ostriches generally need to choose purer varieties to breed, otherwise it is easy to die, this we need to know, it is best to choose a relatively large ostriche, do not choose a small ostrich. Lead macro.

2. If we breed ostriches, we must choose a site to breed, generally choose a place with more grass to breed in captivity, the place must be large, we need to carry out guardrail breeding, otherwise the ostrich will still run away, the main area is large enough, and the fence is high enough.

3. When we breed ostriches, it is generally best to choose feed in the early stage, do not feed the forage directly, because a lot of forage is not very good food, can not provide enough nutrients to the ostriches, we buy feed is generally well-proportioned, so the nutritional match will be better.

4. When the ostrich gradually adapts to the surrounding environment, we can also properly feed some vegetables, and the nutritional value of vegetables is also relatively high, so that the ostrich can grow faster.

5. When breeding ostriches, we need to observe whether the ostrich teasing finger is sick. Because the time for ostriches to be domesticated is actually relatively short, and many times the gap between them and humans is more obvious, so it is best for us to observe ostriches more. If there is a problem, it can be done in a timely manner**.

6. Finally, when we breed ostriches, ostriches will lay eggs, when ostriches appear to lay eggs, we need to feed the ostriches more nutritious food, so that the ostriches can recover their strength faster, which is more important.
