1, blind selection
No matter what they do, some people like to follow the trend blindly and aim too high. This phenomenon often occurs when raising pigeons. When choosing breeding pigeons, it is not profitable to pursue the pedigree of pigeons and spend a lot of money to buy pigeons with noble pedigree for breeding. Secondly, some people are greedy for cheap when buying breeding pigeons, and do not go to the regular carrier pigeon breeding base to buy them, which will also lead to breeding failure.
2. Bad feeding environment
Pigeons like a quiet environment, and the sanitation of the farm should be clean. However, many people ignore this phenomenon when raising pigeons, and keep pigeons together with chickens, ducks and other poultry, which is what many rural farmers often do. In fact, in this case, pigeons are prone to get sick and have a stress reaction, and secondly, they will not lay eggs, so they lose a lot. Finally, sanitation is not cleaned often until the breeding house has a strong smell, and the habit of disinfecting the farm is not formed.
3. Feed is not guaranteed
Pigeons have no special requirements for feed, but they have extremely high requirements for the quality of feed. However, many farmers will have this problem. They feed a lot of feed at a time, then only once a day, and sometimes even add new feed when they see that there is feed left in the trough the next day, so the feed hygiene of pigeons can not be guaranteed, which is easy to cause pests and diseases. In addition, some farmers did not do it in the right way in order to save costs. Instead, choose cheap, expired and unqualified feed. Not only can this not save costs, but it may also cause greater losses. Causing a large number of pigeons to die.
4. Improper management of aquaculture
In fact, improper feeding management means that pigeons are not raised correctly according to pigeon breeding technology. Some farmers think pigeons have strong resistance and simple reproduction. Poultry farming is often used for breeding. Secondly, there is no cooling management in summer, which leads to heatstroke of pigeons, while there is no heat preservation treatment in winter, which leads to pigeons catching a cold. Such things often happen. When feeding, there is no timing, no quantification, no opportunity. Usually it is fed according to its own schedule, which will have a great impact on the digestive system of pigeons.
5, improper pest control
Wild pigeons, when sick, will also seek medical treatment by themselves, while artificially raised pigeons need our own attention. However, many farmers don't understand the diseases and pests of pigeons, so they follow the treatment method of poultry. In fact, this disease is not the right way. And many times it is said that sick pigeons should be treated immediately in isolation. In fact, some diseases have not been well isolated and treated, so it is necessary to make decisions according to different diseases so as not to affect the healthy growth of pigeons. Moreover, the deworming of pigeons is not carried out at the right time, so pigeons will not gain weight or lay eggs no matter how well they are fed.
