Breeding technology of Qingyuan ma chicken

Qingyuan hemp chicken is native to Qingxing County, Guangdong Province. It is also known as the Qingyuan Walking Chicken. It is small in size, subcutaneous and intermuscular fat is developed, and is one of the small broilers exported by live chickens in China.

1. Preparation before brooding: The brooding room must be thoroughly rinsed and disinfected according to the procedure 2 weeks in advance. Preheat the brooding room 1 to 2 days before the chicks and check that the brooding device and room temperature reach the standard temperature.

2, drinking water and food: drink water after drinking, drink water with 5% glucose and antibiotics, electrolytes and multi-dimensional effect is good. 2 to 3 hours after drinking water, about 2/5 of the chicks can eat while foraging.

3, temperature and humidity: the temperature of the chicks should be gradually changed at each stage, the temperature of the chicks in 3 days should not be greater than 1 °C. The optimal temperature range in the late brooding period is 15 to 20 °C, generally 1-3 days old 33 ~ 34 °C, 3-4 days old 32 °C, 5-7 days old 31 °C, 2 weeks old 30 °C, 3 weeks old. 26 °C, 4 weeks old 22 °C, 5 weeks old 20 °C, 6 weeks old 18 °C humidity is 60% to 70% at 1 to 10 days, humidity is 55% to 60% after 10 days.

4. Reproductive density: the ideal density of 0 to 2 weeks old is 25/m2, and the ideal density of 3 to 6 weeks old is 15/m2.

5, lighting: under normal circumstances, the principle of using lighting during brooding is to reduce and then constant: from 1 to 3 days of 24-hour light, 4 watts per square meter of intensity. At the age of 4 days, the daily day and night irradiation time is shortened by 0.5 hours, and the illuminance is 3 W/m2. 5 hours of natural light at 5 weeks of age. 9 hours of natural light for 6 weeks. 7-8 weeks of age for 8 hours of natural light.

6, ventilation: the chicken coop to maintain proper ventilation, reduce the ammonia and water in the house, so that the house is warm and windless.

7. Nutrition: The energy concentration of the brood diet is 12.1~12.5 mj/kg, and the protein is 21%. After broiler chickens are 0 to 21 weeks old and 4 weeks old, the protein can be directly reduced to about 19%. Please refer to the breeding standards for each variety.
