Artificial incubation and artificial brooding method for pelicans

Abstract

The invention discloses an artificial incubation and artificial brooding method for pelicans. The measures that the incubation temperature and the incubation humidity of pelican eggs and the temperature and the humidity of the growing environment of the young pelicans are controlled, and probiotics, digestive enzymes, vitamins, microelement and the like are added in a feed formula of the young pelicans are taken, so that the incubation rate of fertilized eggs is as high as 90%, the dead egg and developmental malformation rate is reduced to lower than 5%, the survival rate of the young pelicans in sixty days is higher than 80%, the nutritional requirement of the young pelicans is met through feeds, the feeds are easy to digest and absorb, and the survival rate of the newborn young pelicans in 0-20 days is as high as 85%.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of animal breeding, in particular to a method for artificial hatching and brooding of pelicans. Background technique [0002] Pelicans are waterfowl of the genus Pelecanus in the family Pelecanidae, order Pelecanuiformes. An important feature of the pelican's body size is its huge and flexible throat pouch to accommodate the needs of prey fish. Pelicans mainly inhabit places such as lakes, rivers and tidal flats. Pelicans mainly feed on fish, and their young are hairless when they are born. They need to be hugged by their parents to maintain a corresponding body temperature. Food is obtained through the feeding of their parents. [0003] There are 8 species of pelicans in the world, and there are 4 species of pelicans distributed in China, namely Oriental white pelican, spotted pelican, curly-feathered pelican and spectacled pelican. ANIMAL CROSSING. At present, the population of the above-mentioned wild pelicans ...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The feed for young pelicans is mostly frozen yellow croaker. The trace elements, vitamins and other nutrients in the feed cannot meet the growth and development needs of young chicks. The feed is single in nutrition. Fish, vegetables or fruits are used as feed for pelicans Although it can meet the nutritional needs of young birds in terms of growth and development, due to the lack of digestive enzymes and probiotic microorganisms in the food fed by adult birds, it is easy to cause poor digestion and absorption of young birds, and the survival rate of young chicks is low. White pelican No examples of young chicks successfully surviving

[0006] Therefore, this area is urgently needed to research and improve hatching of pelican young, method of raising and diet thereof, to solve the problem that the survival rate of pelican young is low
