How about raising chickens in the mountains?
Raising chickens in mountain forests is a popular farming mode in recent years. Compared with the traditional chicken raising mode, mountain chicken raising can save feed cost, fertilizer cost and pest control cost, and it is a very good ecological farming project. At the same time, the chickens raised by grazing in the mountains are more green and pollution-free, so they are favored by consumers and become the chicken raising mode chosen by many chicken farmers. However, although raising chickens in the mountains is good, we still need to pay attention to certain matters. Then, let's introduce the precautions for raising chickens in mountainous areas.

Precautions for raising chickens in mountain forests:

First, in order to prevent the loss of chickens, chickens are raised in most places in the mountains. How to prevent the loss of chickens must be considered comprehensively. Some forests are very large, and if they are all enclosed, the cost is not small, but if they are not enclosed, they will be regularly lost. Chickens are active in the process of foraging in the mountains. Once they are big, chickens will inevitably look for food everywhere and spend the night where they think they live. Once they don't adapt, they will easily be lost without being found. The second is to prevent excessive reproduction. Some farmers who raise chickens in the mountains don't know enough about the mountains and don't know how much to stock, which is prone to over-stocking. Once you raise more, it will be beyond the capacity of Dashan, and the quality of chickens will be difficult to guarantee. If such chickens are sold in the market, the price may not be very good, so we must pay attention to reasonable stocking of chickens in the mountains;

The third is to prevent chickens from getting sick. Chicken plague is the most worrying thing for chicken farmers. Once the chicken epidemic occurs, it is easy to be large-scale, so the loss will be great and the whole army will be wiped out. If you don't have certain technical strength to raise chickens in the mountains, you don't know how to deal with an epidemic. It is definitely impossible. Chickens may eat something they shouldn't eat in the mountains, and there will be more emergencies, so you have to take precautions. The fourth is to prevent the emergence of natural enemies and let chickens return to the mountains. In fact, they also entered a small ecosystem. In the ecosystem, they pay attention to the food chain, and chickens eat insects. Similarly, some animals will target chickens for arrest. Chicken farmers in the mountains can't keep an eye on it. The natural enemies of chickens often start in the dead of night, and some chickens will hide in trees for the night, which is actually a kind of self-protection.

Prevention of natural enemies in raising chickens in mountain forests;

1. Weasel: The weasel is also called Wong Tai Sin, but Daxian is a master who often steals chickens! Measures can be taken to prevent weasels, such as strengthening chicken houses, killing rats and raising dogs and geese.

2. Snake: Among animals, it is said that snakes have the strongest spirituality. There is also a saying in ancient books and records in China that "killing turtles and snakes for no reason", which means that it is a great sin to hurt them, and their revenge mentality is also very strong. Although it is a legend, raising native chickens must deal with snakes. How to prevent snakes? The answer is that you can raise geese! Goose is extremely alert and can defend against various natural enemies (snakes, wild cats, mice, weasels, hedgehogs, etc.). Harassing livestock or destroying crops;

3. Eagle: I believe everyone has played the game of "the eagle catches the chicken". Beware of eagles when raising chickens in the mountains. Eagles usually steal chickens every morning when people are awake and at night when people are asleep. Some delicious eagles steal two or three chickens a day! Eagle is a national protected animal, and it is not allowed to falcon privately. When patrolling at night, you can intimidate the eagle with a strong flashlight. Of course, it is best to set up Skynet.
