The mode of ecological culture of native chicken in orchard, which mainly focuses on grazing, has obvious effect on improving the benefit of native chicken culture. When using the technology of ecological culture of native chicken in orchard, we should consider the selection of chicken species, and choose native chicken or local hybrid chicken with strong disease resistance, such as Gushi chicken, Taoyuan chicken, black bone chicken, Xianju chicken and so on. They are resistant to roughage and strong disease resistance. Although the growth rate is slow and the feed return rate is low, the meat is delicious, the price is high and the profit is large, so they should be the first choice for orchard cultivation.
in this way, the advantages of ecological breeding of native chickens in orchards can be brought into full play. Enrich the soil and reduce the input of chemical fertilizer. Chicken manure contains nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium needed for the growth of fruit trees. Generally speaking, a chicken's excrement contains 9 grams of nitrogen fertilizer, 85 grams of phosphorus fertilizer and 45 grams of potassium fertilizer. Raising 2 chickens per 667 square meters orchard is equivalent to applying 18 kilograms of nitrogen fertilizer, 17 kilograms of phosphorus fertilizer and 9 kilograms of potassium fertilizer, which can not only improve soil fertility, promote the growth of fruit trees, but also reduce fertilizer costs.
The mode of raising native chicken in orchard simplifies the management difficulty of free-range raising native chicken, but it is worth noting that native chicken is not suitable for raising in fruit maturity, and it is lively. On the low branches of fruit trees, native chickens are easy to fly to the branches and peck at the fruits, which will cause great losses to the fruit forest. The native chickens stocked in orchards have compact meat and good taste. Compared with cage chickens, they not only have fewer diseases, but also have much higher prices. Small farmers in the village think this is a good way for rural youth to make money and get rich. Raising native chickens in orchards can also make full use of open-air orchards, weed and prevent insects for orchards, apply chicken manure to orchards, and increase the yield of fruit trees. In short, there are many benefits.
