Feeding management of winter meat pigeons

In winter, although the meat pigeon has strong cold resistance, the low temperature has a great influence on the growth and health of the pigeon. Therefore, doing a good job of winter feeding management is the key to the development of meat pigeon production.

Cold and warm

One is to block the cracks and holes in the loft walls so that the pigeons do not get caught in the cold wind. The second is to seal the front and back windows with plastic film. In the evening, hang the curtains outside the window and hang the curtains on the doors so that the temperature inside the house can be increased. The third is to keep the loft temperature in the harsh winter. Generally, when the loft temperature is above 5°C, the breeder can lay eggs, hatch and breed pigeons as usual. If the temperature is lower than 3°C, additional heating facilities should be added.

Improve nutrition

In winter, the temperature is low, and the energy contained in the feed is higher than in other seasons. It is necessary to meet the nutritional needs of the breeding pigeons and also to meet the nutritional needs of the young pigeons' growth and development. The diet of a typical breeder should contain 11.7 MJ – 13.4 MJ of metabolic energy per kilogram, and 15% – 17% of crude protein. Feed formulation: 45% corn, 25% soybean meal, 10% pellets, sorghum, and legumes, 10 grams to 15 grams of poultry multivitamin for every 50 kilograms of feed, 2 or 3 feeds per day, after food Meat pigeons freely drink water. Feed for minerals. Recipe: 30% loess, 25% fine sand, 30% shellfish powder, 5% bone meal, hydrated lime, and salt, allowing the pigeons to eat freely.

Strengthen management

Insist on cleaning the lofts, droppings and dropping feathers. Frequently clearing pigeon nests from nests to prevent young pigeons from becoming ill due to fecal contamination. Open the doors and windows for ventilation according to weather conditions.

prevent disease

The lofts and eating facilities should be sterilized regularly with 5% of the children, 3% of potassium permanganate or 100% of the poison (according to instructions). The temperature difference between day and night in winter, pigeons susceptible to colds, should take oxytetracycline, paracetamol, each serving 1/2, 1/4, pigeons halved, twice daily, and even served 3 days to 5 days. The treatment of meat mycoplasmosis applies erythromycin 0.02% and tylosin 0.08% to water for 3 days to 5 days. The sick pigeons should be kept in isolation and treated promptly.
