Artificial auxiliary breeding method for hornbill

Abstract

The invention discloses an artificial auxiliary breeding method for hornbill. The method comprises the following steps of 1, producing a breeding hive; 2 monitoring egg laying condition of the hornbill by using a camera, isolating the male hornbill on the eighth day after the hornbill lays a first egg, covering the whole hive with black thick cloth, and opening a side door to take out the egg; 3, incubating the egg taken out from the hive; 4, providing a growth environment for the young hornbill; 5, supplying fodder for the young hornbill; and 6, feeding the young hornbill. According to the method provided by the invention, the problems that the hornbill is difficult to lay the eggs and the eggs are difficult to incubate are overcome, the blank of a birdling fodder formulation is filled, nutritional requirement of the birdling is ensured and the birdling fodder is prone to digest and absorb, and a survival rate of the hornbill is greatly improved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of animal breeding, in particular to an artificial assisted breeding method for hornbills. Background technique [0002] Hornbills (hornbills), Hornbills, Hornbillidae, is a general term for undergraduate animals. Hornbills are noted for the bony mantle at the base of the upper bill in some species. The mouth accounts for 1 / 3 to half of the body length. The wide and flat claws are very suitable for jumping and climbing on trees. There is a copper helmet-shaped protrusion on the head, called the helmet, so it is named hornbill. [0003] The two-horned hornbill (Buceros bicornis) is a large bird with a body length of 119-128cm, a wingspan of 146-160cm, and a weight of 2.15-4Kg. Prefers forest valleys near swift streams. Distributed in China, India, Myanmar, Thailand, Malaysia and Indonesia, it is a national second-class protected animal. [0004] The corolla-helmeted hornbill belongs to the order Bucerotiformes, the...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

The feed for young hornbills mostly uses tomatoes and bananas as raw materials. The trace elements, vitamins and other nutrients in the feed cannot meet the needs of the growth and development of the chicks. The digestion status of the chicks is not yet perfect. The lack of digestive enzymes and probiotic microorganisms in the feeding food of adult birds can easily lead to maldigestion and absorption of young birds, and the survival rate of young birds is low. The chicks of two-horned hornbill, corolla-crested hornbill and silver-cheeked hornbill have not been seen Examples of successful survival

[0012] Therefore, there is an urgent need in this area to study and improve the breeding nest box of hornbills, methods for getting eggs, hatching of fertilized eggs, methods for raising chicks and their rations, so as to solve the problem of low breeding rate of hornbills in captivity
