In order to produce high quality pigeon breeding outside of breeding grounds, the construction of a stable, feeder system or food selection is also a prerequisite for getting the birds. French pigeon really healthy, fat good.
Select the French pigeon seed
In pigeon models for meat, French pigeon is the most chosen because this is the famous meat breed, each year one pair can lay 8-9 litters, weighing birds (28 days old) ) reached 530-580g / child. This bird is highly adaptable to climatic conditions in our country, the survival rate is 94-99%.
To effectively cultivate French pigeons, it is necessary to select good breeding animals. Illustration
However, to be effective in breeding French pigeons, the first choice is to choose the breeding ones. Breeds play an important role and are the first to determine success in breeding. Therefore, when the choice must be absolutely healthy, smooth and smooth animals, no disease, deformities. The drum is bigger, the head is rough, there is hollow reflection, the distance between the narrow pelvis; females usually have smaller masses, smaller heads and bars, the gap between the two pelvis wide. The best time to buy is when the bird is 4 months to 6 months old.
Cages
Unlike many other animals, the cage is just plain cool, but with French pigeons it is important to keep the lights clean, dry and clean. Build a high, moderate enclosure, avoid winds, rain ...
Choose a cage with small boxes for each pair of birds: height 40 cm, depth 40 cm, width 50 cm. Each cage requires two litters and a hatchery located above, a nursery located below. In front of the nest hole with large mouth rice bowl so that birds can go in. Feeders and feeders for birds should be made of wood or plastic, should not be made of metal, ensure hygiene.
French Pigeon farming techniques
In the technical steps of raising French pigeons for high productivity, first of all it is necessary to pay attention to the design of the breeding place for breeding pigeons, incubation and raising children. In particular, because of the special nature of this species is laying eggs in the process of raising children, you need to design two different drives. Normally, the egg laying unit will be located on the upper floor and the baby nest located on the lower floor. Both should be clean, lined with straw and have a diameter of about 20 cm - 25 cm, height from 7 cm - 8 cm.

The design of the trough is also important because Pigeon is one of the picky species of food. Therefore the size of feeder for a pair of brooders: Length: 15cm; Width: 5cm; Depth: 5cm x 10cm.
The cage can be used for cans, plastic cups ... for the size of a pair of brooders: Diameter: 5-6 cm; Height: 8 -10 cm.
If kept in cages, each cage is a pair of breeding birds. If stocked in cages, the density is 6-8 cats / m2. At 28 days of age, young birds are separated from their mothers, now with twice the stocking density of breeding birds (10-14 birds / m2).
Nutrition and the way the French doves eat
Basically, French pigeons should eat foods like rice, corn, beans. In particular, rice accounts for 70-75%, the rest is beans or corn. You should feed the birds twice a day at 6-7h, 14-15 h. It is usually best to eat birds on time.
When mixing food, as many ingredients as possible, ensure the quality and complement each other to the highest effective. However, the different combinations of materials, usually the amount of beans from 25-30%; corn and rice 75-75%.
You can feed the Pigeon on two occasions in the morning at 8-9am and in the afternoon at 14-15pm, feeding at a fixed time of day. Depending on the type of bird we feed on, the amount of food is usually one tenth of the body weight.
If the birds are born, the rate of hatching, the baby is healthy, fast growing, it is necessary for birds to eat fully. Illustration
Prevention
Raising pigeons is not difficult, because they are less susceptible to disease, just make the pigeons a cool, clean and well-lit place. But if the herd in a narrow space, the risk of disease is very large. Therefore, clean pens should be cleaned regularly. It should be periodically cleaned for cleaning the stables, repairing and renewing the damaged area, shredding the stools, replacing the litter, spraying disinfection cages. Wash the trough daily to prevent birds from drinking dirty water, fermented by residues trapped in the trough.
How to keep the French doves away?
To keep the bird in the cage avoid the bird fly away from the master, but other owners need to train the bird slightly by the bird as young as possible. Frequent visits to new hatchlings make the birds not shocked later, birds become "bold" closer to the owner.
Technique to let the French doves reproduce much
In terms of fertility, the birds should be born, high hatching rate, healthy children, fast growing, it is necessary for birds to eat enough, especially bran composite. If a pigeon is raised from 4 to 5 months of age, the first calving occurs, and each litter produces two eggs. After hatching 16 - 18 days will hatch. Baby birds will be given to males nourished. Relax after 7 to 10 days after delivery. As such a pair of parent pigeons after a year to release 17 pairs of grandchildren.
Here are some basic French Pigeon techniques. If implemented correctly, birds will grow rapidly, giving high productivity as well as reproducing well.
