Choosing good breeder pigeons is the key to reducing the cost of raising and raising the speed and economic efficiency of the meat pigeons. Therefore, to raise meat pigeons, you must first select the meat breeders. To purchase meat breeders, we must pay attention to the following six aspects: 1. Selecting good breeds Breeding good meat pigeons is an important factor in obtaining high efficiency in the breeding of meat pigeons. The current elite pigeon breeds mainly include American king pigeons, Chinese stone dove pigeons and Belgium Hem pigeons, and Hong Kong hybrid king pigeons. These pigeons have strong resistance to disease and fast growth and are ideal pigeon breeds. Second, choose weight. In Hong Kong and Macao and foreign markets and some domestic big hotels require 4 weeks old puppies weighing more than 600 grams. Therefore, when purchasing a breeding pigeon, there should be a certain requirement for its weight. The cock is required to have a body weight of 650 grams or more and a breeding hen of 550 grams or more. This breeder can only meet export and market requirements. Third, the selection of body type pigeon breeder is the best ball size, its larger body weight, chest should be round, back to wide, legs should be short; docile temperament, and good high-flying is more appropriate to walk. Fourth, choose hairy fish with white feathers pigeon shape is better, the skin is white or light yellow, deeply welcomed by consumers; followed by gray, red and yellow. Feathers of dark or variegated colors often have a bluish purple skin that people do not like. Therefore, it is advisable to use the same color for the selection of meat breeder and matching. Fifth, choose male and female pigeons to breed in pairs, one male and one female, and they are fixed and matched. When purchasing a breeder, there will be more males and fewer males, so you cannot buy large breeders. If you want to buy 100 pairs of breeding pigeons, you can first buy 60-80 pairs, until the 6-month-old pairing, then buy and add according to the actual situation. Six, choose performance. When buying a breeder, you should look at the parent's weight, body size, coat color, and breeding records. This is closely related to genetic performance. General male and female breeding pigeons are of good quality and production performance, and their relatives are also relatively good. Therefore, in the period of self-reproduction, it is necessary to retain the breeding progeny of breeding pigeons with good production performance in order to improve the quality of meat pigeons.
