Local chicken breeding method

Abstract

The invention discloses a local chicken breeding method comprising steps as follows: brooding period: healthy chicks are selected, cocks and hens are divided after sex determination, and the chickens are caged in a 40 cm high mesh bed or bred on a ground with thick padding for brooding until the chickens are 6 weeks old; breeding period: the chickens are put in forest land or mountains for breeding when 7-17 weeks old, the cocks are fed with cock feed for the breeding period, the hens are fed with hen feed for the breeding period, and the hens are reserved through random selection, and the hens are reserved in the ratio of the cocks to the hens being (1:8-1:12; individual caging laying period: the cocks and the hens are caged individually and artificially inseminated until 45 weeks old, and individual and family breeding reservation is carried out according to the 40-week egg production and the early-stage growth speed; forest land or mountain free-range laying period: all the cocks and hens 46-60 weeks old are put in the forest land or mountains, take food freely and mate naturally. The method has the advantages that the breeding effect of local chickens is obviously improved, the survival rate and the breeding rate of the chicks are increased, the individual egg yield and the average egg weight in the laying period are increased, and the percent of pass and the fertility rate of hatching eggs are raised.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a native chicken breeding method, which is mainly applied in the technical field of poultry raising and breeding. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of my country's social economy and the continuous improvement of people's living standards and quality, the market has put forward higher requirements for the quality of chicken and eggs.

Problems solved by technology

For a long time, according to people's consumption habits and market demand, local native chickens are mixed with males and females. Generally, roosters are raised until they are 13-17 weeks old and go on the market (young roosters), and hens are raised at 46-60 weeks of age to lay eggs and then they are marketed as high-quality old hens. ; However, due to the slow growth of chicks and low egg production rate, production efficiency and market competitiveness are affected

On the other hand, local native chickens have significant nesting ability. The combination of low egg production performance and growth rate has a strong nesting ability, which seriously affects the reproductive performance of local native chickens and limits the expansion and promotion of native chickens.
