Orchard chicken - a win-win alternative

Using orchards for chickens, chickens feeding on fruit tree pests in the orchard can both reduce the pest control costs, but also save feed and improve the quality and flavor of eggs and chicken. Chicken manure is a high-quality organic fertilizer (1 ton of chicken manure equivalent to sulfuric acid Ammonium 55 ~ 82 kg, superphosphate 88 ~ 96 kg, potassium sulfate 12 ~ 17 kg), directly excreted in the orchard, can improve the garden soil, fertility and fertility, improve fruit production. Therefore, orchard chicken can be said to be more than one. The technical points are:

1. Garden and species selection. It is best to choose chickens in mountain orchards that are far away from livestock and poultry trading grounds, slaughterhouses, processing plants, and chemical and garbage disposal facilities. The shading of the gardens is required to be over 70% to prevent heatstroke in chickens caused by direct sunlight in summer. A protective net should be set up around the orchard to prevent chickens from fleeing and natural enemies from intruding. The chicken should choose high quality local chicken breeds that are resistant to roughage, wide range of activities, strong feeding power and good disease resistance.

2. Build a shed. According to the area of ​​orchards and the number of chickens, some simple shelters should be constructed to provide a place for chickens to inhabit, lay eggs, shelter from the rain, and shelter from the heat so as to prevent them from being exposed to rain, sunlight and accidents. The sheds are mostly constructed of bamboo and wooden structures, and they are constructed in a sheltered, sunny, high-lying place. The size varies from place to place. Glass fiber-reinforced roofs or oil-felt-mats can be used for straw in straw roofs. The sheds are high in the middle and low on both sides. Drainage trenches are dug around.

3. Stocking density. According to the orchard area, it is appropriate to stock 150 to 250 animals per acre. The density exceeds the General Assembly due to insects, grass and other feeds to increase the amount of fine feed, affect the flavor of chicken and eggs; the density is too small to cause waste of resources, low breeding efficiency.

4. Rational rotation animal husbandry. The orchards are divided into several small plots separated by screens. When there is not enough grass and insects in one plot, they are transferred to another plot for grazing. In this way, it is not only conducive to management, but also can prevent the infestation of chickens, weasels, etc., and the introduction of infectious bacteria, but also conducive to the establishment of the food chain.

5. Disease prevention and control. Orchards raise chickens and chickens have a wide range of activities. Disease prevention and control are difficult. In addition to routine immunization, the keeper is required to increase his sense of responsibility. Every day he observes and records the feeding, drinking, spirit, feces and sleeping status of the flock. In other conditions, the diseased chickens were found and immediately quarantined and treated, and the threatened chickens were given preventive medications. During the grazing period, a certain amount of disinfectant is regularly placed in the drinking water of the chicken to control the content of harmful bacteria in drinking water and prevent the spread of the disease. The sheds and gardens should be kept clean and hygienic and regularly sterilized with lime milk.

In addition, attention should be paid to the prevention of the infestation of animals such as mice and weasel, and attention should be paid to the presence of animals such as snakes in the production of nests.
