How should turkeys be raised? Are there any key takeaways?

Turkey farming requires certain skills, and only by adopting the right methods can we ensure high yield and high quality of turkey production. Here are some ways to teach you turkey farming.

First, the construction of chicken coops.

The construction of the chicken coop is very important. First of all, we should choose a good environment. Due to the thick feathers of turkeys, to avoid the occurrence of turkey pests and diseases, chicken houses should be built in arid areas with good drainage and irrigation, warm winters and cool summers.

When building a chicken coop, it is necessary not only to prevent direct sunlight from entering the chicken house, but also to ensure a certain amount of scattered light. Rest rooms, playgrounds, incubators, brooding rooms and artificial offices should be reasonably planned in the chicken house. Try to keep some green trees around the chicken house to improve air quality and promote turkey growth.

Second, the selection of varieties.

Turkey farming choices are critical to the sustainability of turkey farming. Male turkeys should be healthy, disease-free, energetic, and brightly colored. The same goes for females, on this basis, at the same time, it is necessary to ensure that the female turkey has a good reproductive ability, and the breeder cannot be used for a long time.

It is necessary to replace it regularly and eliminate inferior varieties in a timely manner. Generally, a female turkey should not be used for more than two years, while a male turkey can be used for a longer period of time. After selection, it is necessary to do a good job in breeding, improve the quality of eggs, and ensure breeding benefits.

3. Breeding management.

Female turkeys lay their first eggs at about eight months of age. Spawning takes place from April to August every year. It usually hatches about 12 eggs.

Turkeys usually mate on their own, but inbreeding should be avoided during the mating process. When turkeys mate on their own, females have a higher injury rate due to the different body sizes of males and females, which affects their reproductive ability and economic benefits. Therefore, artificial breeding should be carried out appropriately, increasing the mating ratio to 1:

About 20, which can not only improve the reproduction rate, but also effectively reduce the cost of feeding.

Fourth, the incubator manager.

Native chickens have a strong reproductive ability. When raising young turkeys, the female turkey should pay attention to controlling the light to avoid the environment being too noisy and affecting the turkey hatching. During incubation, the proportion of dry material should be increased and the proportion of wet material should be minimized.

During incubation, eggs are cared for and inspected once a week to detect dead eggs and eggs that have not hatched in time. After raising her baby turkey, the mother turkey became weak due to lack of food. Therefore, male and female turkeys should be kept separately in order to regain their strength as soon as possible.

First of all, we should choose high-quality varieties, we should pay attention to the problem of feeding feed, we should clean the farm regularly, pay attention to the work of disinfection, and we must prevent diseases.

You can breed turkeys in chicken farms, not too much ventilation, do a good job of hygiene, but also do insulation, choose good feed to raise turkeys, do a good job of ventilation, the ground is best cement floor, pay attention to the use of pesticides, ensure lighting, height of 3 to 4 meters, these are the key points.

Turkey breeding should choose a relatively empty area, sunny, sufficient water, good environment. The venue should be open, the environment should be good, the sun should be sufficient, and there should be your own companions.

To choose a suitable area, pay attention to the density of breeding, to strengthen management and control, to pay attention to the collocation of feed, in the process of breeding, we must do a good job in preventing pests and diseases, to do a good job of ventilation function.

1. Brooding period feeding: Brooding should pay attention to the control of temperature and humidity during this key period, and the amount of feed should not be too much when feeding feed.

2. Breeding during the breeding period: Captivity should pay attention to cleaning the sink in time and disinfecting the tank. Free-range breeding should prepare sufficient feed and drinking water to ensure the growth of turkeys. It is not suitable for free-range breeding in winter, and it is necessary to do a good job of heat preservation.

3. Daily management: clean the chicken coop in time, regularly disinfect the chicken coop, keep the chicken coop dry, reduce bacterial breeding, and enhance the disease resistance of the turkey. Sen Tsai.

Like the chicken, I have one at home, but it's expensive.

1. After the chicks hatch out of the hatch in the hatching workshop or naturally, if there is a drying room, they can raise multi-layer broods on the net of the drying room. If there is no oven and the number of broods is not very large, 40 60 watt bulbs can be used to irradiate and keep warm.

2. In addition to dry feeding in summer and autumn, the feed can be mixed and fed with warm water in spring and winter. Chicks have just entered the box to keep warm, and the observation should be strengthened. If you find that the chick keeps opening its mouth, it means that the temperature in the box is high, and you can put the bulb up a little; If the chicks are huddled together and keep calling, the temperature is low, and the bulb should be lowered a little.

3. Prevent sudden power outages in early spring or winter for 1 2 hours, and the chicks will freeze to death. For this reason, it is necessary to install a 3-watt chandelier, do not turn off the light day and night, if you find a sudden power failure, you can put the chick under the other one with a hot water bottle, covered with shredded cotton in a cardboard box to keep warm, the lid is tight. When the electricity comes, put the chicks in the original brooder box to keep warm.

4. Do not expose the chicks to the sun in order to save electricity bills, and expose the chicks to the sun when the temperature is high in summer and autumn. Otherwise, sunburn to death quickly. In summer and autumn, it can be dried for about 10 minutes in the morning every day, and in winter and spring, it can be placed in the sun under the condition of ensuring water supply, but it is also necessary to strengthen observation and adjust in time.

5. Do not change the straw in the box frequently, and replace it with another carton, and the original carton should be dried to ensure that the box is dry and not wet, so as to prevent chicks from getting sick or ammonia and carbon monoxide poisoning.

7. Do not let the hen take the chicks out of the shell, should enter the incubator to feed, do not let the hen take the chicks, avoid the cold wind attack, in case the chicks are cold and the hens reduce the annual egg production.

Brooding rearing:

1. The brooding period refers to the turkey at the age of 0 8 weeks, the temperature and humidity in the brooding room are high, and the feed is fed more at one time, and the feed that is not eaten will be moldy and mildew, and when feeding the young turkey, it is necessary to feed the appropriate amount of feed for 1 day in line with the principle of "feeding less and adding more" and "feed fresh".

2. The drinking water of the chick turkey must be 20, clean and hygienic drinking water, and the drinking water should be replaced once every 4 6 h to ensure the quality of drinking water of the chicks.

Rearing period feeding:

1. The rearing period refers to the 9-28-week-old turkey, after the brooding period, the physique and disease resistance of the turkey have been strong, the general temperature difference is not a big threat, and it is easy to manage when breeding. Farming can take the form of captivity, stocking, or a combination of both. Ordinary farmers can adopt the free-range method.

2. Turkeys in captivity should also pay attention to the cleaning of the sink, and after cleaning, they can be disinfected with potassium permanganate solution. When grazing, turkeys can freely eat grass and insects to enhance their activities, save feed, and drive the turkeys into the free-range area at 7:00, 16:00

00 rushed back, and after a long time, the turkey itself developed a habit.

3. Free-range turkeys are fed pellet feed 1 time·d-1, and keep sufficient drinking water. In winter, turkeys are not suitable for free-range breeding, and the chicken coop should be sealed with plastic sheeting and start captivity. The ratio of captive feed is basically the same as that of breeding turkeys.

Day-to-day management of turkeys:

1. The daily management of turkey mainly includes disinfection, epidemic prevention, etc. Do a good job in environmental hygiene, remove all kinds of pollutants in the field in a timely manner, disinfect regularly, and choose disinfectants that are safe for people and poultry, non-corrosive to equipment, and have no toxic residues.

2. Outsiders must be strictly disinfected, especially the bottom of the shoes. Farm cleaning and disinfection work 2 times·D-1, 1st 7:00, 2nd 16:00

00, The disinfection is carried out by alternating the classic povidone-iodine 1300 aqueous solution and the decanopyronium bromide 1300 aqueous solution to avoid drug resistance. Disinfect 1 time, clean again, and disinfect 1 time.

3. Prevent feed mildew, due to the heavy rain and high humidity in summer, concentrate feed is easy to mildew, which leads to turkey mold poisoning. Dry the feed, prohibit the moldy feed, and prevent the occurrence of poisoning incidents. When using materials, it is necessary to regularly and quantitatively, and add less to the diligent.

Pay attention to group management, exercise appropriately, keep quiet, and pay attention to hygiene.

The turkey breeding techniques are as follows:

1. Individual selection.

Male turkeys for breeding should be selected with strong and disease-free, tall body, strong males, lively, shiny feathers, thick and straight legs; Breed female turkeys that are healthy and disease-free, docile in temperament, flat in back and straight in tail, broad in chest and large in body, and bright in feathers and flesh.

Breeders should be replaced for a period of time, purified and rejuvenated, eliminated inferior breeds in a timely manner, and selected and retained breeds. The breeding hen turkey can be used for 2 years, and the male turkey can be used for 3-4 years.

2. Breeding and egg laying.

Female turkeys enter the first laying cycle from 34 weeks of age, and the laying period is from March to September every year, and they hatch on their own every 10-15 pieces or so. 4-6 cycles of eggs are laid per year, and each cycle lays 14-20 eggs, up to a maximum of 28 eggs.

Turkey is mostly natural mating, should prevent inbreeding, breeding turkeys in natural mating, due to the large difference between male and female in weight, often make the female turkey damaged, resulting in low reproductive rate of female turkeys, reduce economic benefits.

Therefore, artificial insemination can be used to solve this contradiction, and at the same time, the breeding ratio of breeding roosters can be increased from 1:4-5 to 1:30 of natural mating, and the feeding cost can be greatly reduced.

During the laying period, the male turkey should be kept separately to avoid excessive harassment of the female turkey and affect the egg production of the female turkey. At the same time, the sharp paws of the male turkey should be trimmed smoothly before breeding, so as not to injure the female turkey and affect the female turkey's egg production and nest holding.

3. Egg hatching.

Natural incubation: Female turkeys have a strong nest holding, and farmers can breed turkey eggs in small quantities by natural incubation by female turkeys or local egg-holding hens, by using bamboo baskets to make nests for female turkeys to hold eggs and hatch. The basket is lined with grass, about 20-30 cm thick, and then the eggs are put in.

Female turkeys generally put 14-18 eggs.

Female turkeys like to hold eggs in dim, hidden, secluded places, during the nest need to be isolated male turkeys to prevent harassment of egg-holding hens. Every 2 days, it should be taken away from the nest for feeding and drinking.

Artificial incubation: artificial incubation should be used in large-scale breeding of turkeys. The turkey eggs are artificially incubated to select the eggs, and then the eggs are put into the incubator, the incubation temperature is 37 from the first day to the 25th day, the relative humidity is 56%, and the incubator meets the requirements, and the pores are all opened.

From the 1st day to the 16th day of incubation, 1 time with manual transfer of eggs every 2 hours, from the 17th day to the 25th day, you can automatically transfer eggs or manual transfer eggs, 1 time per hour, and 1 time of candling on each day of incubation to check the development of embryos, and remove infertile eggs and dead embryos. On day 25 of incubation, the hatching eggs are moved to a pre-sterilized hatcher.

From day 26 to day 28, the hatcher temperature is, and the relative humidity temperature is. To increase the humidity of the hatcher, a damp cloth can be hung inside the machine. At hatching, spray 40-60 warm water on the egg surface every 2 hours, which is conducive to the breaking of the shell of the young turkey and enhance its vitality, and improve the hatching rate.

The first is to build a chicken coop, and then this place must be particularly dry, and then must achieve the effect of warm in winter and cool in summer, and it is necessary to choose some chicken breeds with strong reproductive ability, and also to keep eliminating, must choose high-quality feed, and must choose the right time to breed.

You need to pay attention to the way the turkey is raised, you also need to pay attention to the skill of raising the turkey, you also need to pay attention to the way the turkey is fed, you also need to pay attention to the state of the turkey, and you also need to pay attention to the way the turkey grows.

It is necessary to pay attention to the selection of varieties, be sure to choose the right place for breeding, pay attention to cleanliness, pay attention to hygiene, and pay attention to feed problems.

Pay attention to the surrounding living environment, but also pay attention to the selection of varieties, and at the same time pay attention to the problem of breeding, but also to understand the specific temperature situation, and to do a lot of planning.
