How to increase the survival rate of young ostriches

Designing brooding farms for science

In addition to meeting the conventional design requirements, the floor of the brooding shed and the feeding shed should be laid with terracotta tiles (also known as "floor tiles", "moisture-proof bricks", fired with clay). Pottery floor tiles have excellent moisture absorption, moisture resistance, heat insulation, can keep the ground dry, can effectively avoid the "visceral fever" disease of young ostriches, and can prevent slipping, which can reduce the leg deformity of young ostriches caused by slipping. Floor cleaning, cleaning and disinfection are also convenient. The vertical length of the stadium is 20m to 30m, and the width is 4m to 8m. The longitudinal middle is designed as a gentle slope to exercise the leg strength of the chicks. The 1/4 section of the playground is covered with 10 cm thick sand. The sand was screened with a 40-50 degree tilt angle using a 0.2 square centimeter mesh sieve. A half of the middle part of the stadium allows the grass to naturally grow turf from the fine sand of the book. The tender grass can satisfy the hobby of the young ostrich. In this way, the pre-stomach stomach nesting can be effectively overcome.

Implement a strict disinfection system

If the disinfection work is done well, all infectious diseases can be eliminated, which is an important condition for ensuring the health of young ostriches. Keepers must disinfect their hands with 0.1% benzalkonium bromide solution, change shoes, change clothes, and then step on the disinfection tank to enter the farm.

The green material is washed and then soaked in potassium permanganate solution for a while. During the day and night, the water trays and trays used for feeding the young ostriches are rotated. After each use, they must be cleaned and soaked and sterilized. Clean up the excrement in time, and clean up the house and the feeding house every morning, evening and evening.

In the brooding box, the burlap bed should be replaced twice a day in summer and once a day in winter. The washed burlap should be soaked in 0.l%~0.2% bactericide for 30 minutes.

Disease prevention and treatment must be carefully

The 1-day to 3-day-old chicks should be sterilized with iodine in the umbilicus, and they should be no less than 3 times a day. The umbilical poorly contracted chicks should also be given rifampicin ointment on the umbilicus to prevent omphalitis. The correcting of the deformed toes of young ostriches should be started at the age of 2 days to 3 days, and the "bundling correction method" is often used. In order to not affect the blood flow and leg development of the chick's feet, it is necessary to replace and enlarge the foot ring mark in time. The daily feeding and management work carefully observed the activity, mental status, diet, and excrement of the youngsters. According to the principle of “early, fast, strict, and small”, the disease was controlled as quickly as possible, and the diseased young children were promptly treated.

Provide suitable living conditions

Appropriate living conditions are the guarantee of successful brooding.

temperature

Because of the poor insulation capacity and thermoregulatory capacity of the young ostrich, the temperature in the incubator is controlled at 35°C~32°C for the first 5 days of the young ostrich, and descends 2°C~3°C every week thereafter. The temperature drops to 9 weeks of age. To 18 °C ~ 20 °C, the nursery can be low incubator 6 °C. When the cold winter season brooding nursery does not reach the required temperature, the incubator can use a high temperature brooding.

humidity

Newly hatched chicks contain a lot of water in the body, and the appropriate humidity is conducive to swelling without causing dehydration. Generally, the humidity is controlled at 60% to 70%. In the hot and rainy season, it is necessary to change the mat pad.

ventilation

A large amount of excrement can produce a strong irritating gas, which is harmful to the eyes and respiratory tract of the young ostrich.

illumination

In order to ensure that young chicks less than 6 weeks of age are actively feeding at night, it is best to use 100-watt incandescent bulbs for lighting bulbs. After 2 months of age, if the young ostrich develops normally, there is no need to turn on the lights at night.

Boiling food

The young ostriches can provide nutrients for the first 3 days to 5 days after hatching. Generally, young ostriches begin to supply drinking water and feed at 3 days of age. By the age of 5 days, the newly hatched ostriches can release the incubator. Feeding the drinking water is guided by the bigger chicks. The green food must be carefully cut. When the green material is too dry, it can be moistened with water and then mixed in. Fine material. In the first 3 days to 5 days, newborn young ostriches drink 3%~5% of multidimensional glucose water.

Feeding

Feeds should be fed less frequently, especially in the hot and humid seasons. The chicks like to eat green feed, generally adopting the method of mixing green materials several times in the concentrate to increase the feed intake of the young ostrich. The young ostriches have a poor ability to use crude fiber, and they feed young ostriches below 2 months of age with bitter leeks and pak choi, and do not use grasses to prevent indigestion. The green material of young ostriches for feeding is best not to use sweet potato leaves, because the sweet potato leaves produce wind and gas, which is unfavorable to individuals with poor health.

Healthcare Products

The quality of raw materials for health care products should be taken seriously, including the production process, raw materials, and production technology of health care products, all of which must be strictly controlled.
