Physical synthesis method for preventing cage reared chick from vent pecking

Abstract

The invention discloses a physical synthesis method for preventing cage reared chicks from vent pecking, and belongs to a chick breeding method, and an objective is to provide a method for preventing cage reared chicks from vent pecking. The technical scheme comprises hanging red strips of cloth, or melon vine plants, or tuberous plants for chicks to peck in a cage; using red light in a brooding room; and mixing gravels in size of rice grain in forage. The method is simple and feasible, and is low in cost and convenient in operation, and would not hurt the chicks. The method can effectively reduce occurrence of vent pecking, and is a method for preventing cage reared chicks from vent pecking.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preventing caged chicks from pecking anus, in particular to a method for comprehensively preventing caged chicks from pecking anus by using multiple physical methods. Background technique [0002] Pecking is the natural nature of birds. By constantly pecking each other, they can determine their power and status in the entire population. At the same time, pecking is also to resist the invasion of enemies and protect themselves, so pecking is also an external manifestation of the defense function of birds. [0003] Anal pecking is a common feature of chickens in cages. It is called "anal pecking", which is a conditioned reflex of poultry. There are many reasons for this: [0004] 1. The feed changes suddenly and the feed ingredients are single. In particular, the lack of protein in the feed, the lack of vitamins, minerals, and salt, etc., cause the nutritional insufficiency of the chickens and cannot meet the growt...

AI Technical Summary

Problems solved by technology

[0004] 1. Sudden change of feed and single feed ingredients

In particular, the lack of protein in the feed, the lack of vitamins, minerals, salt, etc., cause the nutritional insufficiency of the chickens and cannot meet the growth needs of the body.

[0005] 2. The stocking density is high, and the light in the cage is too strong, which can easily induce pecking habit

[0006] 3. The air is humid and hot, and the temperature difference between day and night is large, which affects the chicken's mood and is prone to pecking habits

Although the above-mentioned methods can achieve good results, physical methods such as beak breaking and blindfolding are not only cumbersome to operate and costly, but also cause damage or discomfort to the chicks and affect their growth and development; Physical methods such as ventilation have relatively harsh conditions, and it is difficult for small and medium-sized farmers to achieve
