How to raise meat pigeons?

1. Pigeon farm to build a pigeon house: choose a place with high and dry terrain, good drainage, leeward and sunny, and no "three wastes" pollution. The pigsty should be dry and clean, with fresh air, suitable lighting and good ventilation.

2. Controlling the environment means controlling the environment: the hatched young pigeons are not full of feathers, so we should pay attention to cold and warmth in winter, keep the pigeon house clean in rainy season, ensure ventilation and dryness, prevent heatstroke and cool down in summer, and pay attention to ventilation.

Corn, sorghum and other grains should be added to the diet of young pigeons, and the feed of laying pigeons should contain enough protein and so on.

Extended data:

Group pigeon houses generally adopt single-row bungalows. Each pigeon house is 12 ~ 18m in length, 2.5m in eaves height and 1. 1m in width. Divided into 4 ~ 6 compartments by pigeon cages or iron nets, each compartment can accommodate 32 pairs of breeding pigeons or 50 pairs of young pigeons. The whole building can accommodate 60 breeding pigeons.

Windows should be opened at the front and back of each pigeon house, with the front window lower than the ground and the rear window higher. Two anchor windows should be opened at the back wall 40 cm from the ground to facilitate the ventilation of the pigeon house. There should be a passage 1 m wide in front of the pigeon house, and the door of each small pigeon house opens to the passage.

On both sides of the passage are drains 30 cm wide and 5 cm deep. In front of the pigeon house is a sports ground, which should be twice the area of the pigeon house. The top and other three sides are surrounded by iron nets, and the doors are open at both ends of the passage.
