Meat pigeon diet matching requirements and feeding methods

Feeds for meat pigeons must be fresh and dry. Never use moldy feeds. If moldy feeds are found, they should be disposed of immediately to prevent future problems. Germinated feeds cannot be fed. Feeds eaten by rats and worms, quail feeds, and their nutrients are eaten, leaving only hulls, and this feed often contains pathogens or toxins. After the pigeons eat, it is easy to cause morbidity or Poisoning. In addition, the corn cob shells, pea pods, wheat husks, and dust were found in the feed and should be washed and dried before being used to feed pigeons to ensure the normal digestive function of the pigeons.
1 Diet matching requirements
1.1 A single feed tends to have imbalanced or insufficient nutrient components. It is necessary to use a variety of feed ingredients to match each other so that various nutrient components complement each other to increase the overall nutritional level of the feed and the feed utilization rate to meet the growth requirements of meat pigeon production. Nutrients. For compound feeds, if the feed is selected, the quantity and proportion of the feeds should be determined so that the various nutrients provided can basically meet the requirements stipulated in the meat pigeon feeding standards.
1.2 The nutritional value of some feeds is similar, but the price difference is very large, so consider the relationship between feed nutritional value and cost. Under the premise of satisfying the nutritional needs of meat pigeons and not causing adverse effects, relatively inexpensive feeds can be used to save production costs.
1.3 Usually, 5 to 6 kinds of feeds can be used together, but not more. However, we must pay attention to the ratio of major nutrients and amino acids and vitamins in the feed. Insufficient parts should be replenished in time so as not to affect the production and health of meat pigeons.
1.4 Shelled feeds such as rice, barley, oats, etc. Pigeons should not eat more. It is best to use shelled feeds for young pigeons with a small breed to facilitate digestion and absorption. Mungbeans are not digestible, and their use should be controlled within 7%.
1.5 Pigeons are selective for different feeds based on taste preferences. Pigeons like to eat small grain feeds such as pearl corn, wheat, and hemp seed, but they do not like to feed on poorly palatable and large-grained feeds. Pigeons can selectively feed on the basis of the body's needs. Individuals also have different food characteristics at different stages of growth. When pigeons lack vitamin B, pigeons like to eat rice, and when vitamin B is abundant, they like to eat white rice.
1.6 Pigeons can form habits on feeds that are often eaten and like to eat. If you suddenly change feed to a new feed type, the pigeons will not like to eat at first. If the pigeons eat yellow corn, they do not like to eat white corn, eat pearl corn does not like to eat large grain corn, eating black peas do not like to eat white peas.
2 feeding methods
2.1 The feeding method of the pro-pigeon feed The pigeons that were used in many places before were supplied in a one-time manner. The one-day feed was placed in the fork to allow the pigeons to feed freely. Nowadays, people have realized that there are many drawbacks in this feeding method, which will result in the waste of feed. Pigeons will also develop picky eating habits while the feed is more susceptible to contamination and mold deterioration in the tank. Nowadays, the supply of feedstuffs in the pigeon farms is mostly taken less frequently and the method of quantification is used regularly.
2.2 Feeding method for back-up pigeons It is best to place a feeding trough outside the column. Its position is about 10cm higher than the activity plane of the pigeons in the column, keeping the feed from being contaminated by faeces, dander, etc. When the feeding trough is placed in the column, it should be about half an hour after each feeding, and the feeding trough should be inverted after the pigeons finish eating the feed to prevent the pigeons from pulling on the trough. The number and timing of feeds for reserve pigeons are similar to those of the pro-pigeons, and they are quantified twice a day.
The consumption of feed has a direct relationship with the meat pigeon's variety, shape, weight, age, season, climate and other factors. Pigeons with smaller body size and weight, of course, have less feed to eat, and are generally equivalent to about 10% of body weight. The pigeons with relatives have 1 to 2 times more dietary material than those of pigeons that have no flesh, and are associated with the age of the pigeons. The increase increases. The youngsters who just switched to the group started eating their own food. They ate less, and then they gradually increased. The youngsters from 30 to 60 days of age need more food because of their growing needs. However, after 2 months of age, the pigeons are mature and mature. The relative amount of feed needed is: less. The cold season eats more than the hot season.
2.3 Feed formulation requirements General energy feeds in feed formulations account for 65% to 85% and protein feeds for 15% to 35%. The feed type in the formula can be determined according to the actual situation of the pigeon farm, the feed supply of the market feed and the feed price at that time. In principle, the formula with the lowest possible price is used to meet the needs of meat pigeon production and growth, and finally obtain the most Good production effect.
