There are many varieties of turkey, such as Nikolai turkey, Betina turkey, bronze turkey and so on. Bronze turkey is characterized by strong adaptability, resistance to roughage, suitable for grazing, rapid weight gain, strong cold resistance and resistance to disease, mating, egg production, self-incubation ability is strong, most suitable for rural backyard farming. Its feeding points are as follows:
Brooding. Newborn turkeys are insensitive, squeamish, and chilly. The material quality should be good, the light should be strong, and need extra care. Within 4 weeks of age, the stocking density on the grass surface should be 20-25/square meter. 1~4 day old best full daylight. After 5 days of age, it can be gradually reduced to 14 hours of light. Brooding room temperature, within a week to maintain at 35 °C ~ 37 °C. After that, it can be reduced by 1°C~2°C per week until it is warmed. Childish diets require high protein and high energy.
Nutritional standards for brooding period: metabolic energy 2680 kcal/kg, crude protein level 26%. Reference formula is as follows: cereal feed 46%, bean cake 38%, bran 3.3%, fish meal 6.4%, loquat leaf powder 3%, bone meal 2%, calcium carbonate 1%, salt 0.3%, appropriate addition of trace elements, vitamins and so on. The young turkey is pungent and spicy. Some fodder such as onion leaves, garlic leaves, and leeks can be properly added to the feed to help it digest and increase appetite. At the same time, it can also play a certain inhibitory effect on germs.
The young chicks on the first day after hatching are best spent in the nest. Eat the next day. It should be supplemented with teasing and giving clean water around 20°C. The first week of feeding 5 to 6 times a day, 4 times during the day, 1 or 2 times at night. After 4 weeks, it can be changed to feeding 4 times during the day and not feeding at night. Starting from the brooding, several small piles of sand can be placed on the corner of the brooding bed and allowed to feed freely.
Bred. The mother turkey is 8 weeks old. After the male turkey is 10 weeks old, it begins to enter the rearing period. After the brooding period, the turkey's physique and disease resistance have been strong, and the general temperature difference has little threat to them. In order to meet the needs of its fast-growing meat, diets can be fed with more carbohydrates to maintain high energy. Protein levels can generally be maintained at 15% to 18%. Some vegetables and legumes are also incorporated in the feed. Farmers are free-range and can be grazing-based. During grazing, it is necessary to prevent the chickens from being exposed to the sun and being poured by the rain. After harvesting, feed some concentrate, such as bran, grains, and chopped sweet potatoes. Merchandise turkeys are reared for 8 to 9 months. Male turkeys weigh about 9 kilograms and female turkeys weigh about 5 kilograms.
Feeding and hatching stages. Female turkeys grow to 7 months of age, and male turkeys reach sexual maturity at nine months of age. Female turkeys enter the first laying cycle from 34 weeks of age. About 10 to 15 pieces of produce are self-incubated. The mother's brood is extremely strong and has a great impact on egg production. In order to make it more prolific, eggs can be forced to hold, such as standing in prison, in captivity, and grazing grazing, etc. Since the objective condition of the brood is eliminated, the cuddling time of the female turkey can be greatly shortened. It is best to feed full-priced compound feed during the production of eggs. Male turkeys should also be given special care and rearing to increase the fertility rate. From the 69th week of age, the mother turkey enters the second laying cycle one after another. After that, egg production and fertility have dropped significantly and should be eliminated. Each laying cycle is about 20-22 weeks. There are 15 weeks of moulting period between two laying cycles. During the incubation period, special care must be taken to keep the incubator clean, quiet and wet. During the incubation process, rodent damage and strong vibrations must also be strictly prevented. Turkey is naturally mated. The proportion of males to females can be 1:4 or 1:5.
