What nutrients do meat pigeons need?

Meat pigeons have a large amount of activity, high body temperature, rapid growth and development, and strong metabolism, thus requiring more nutrients than other livestock and poultry, especially water, energy, protein, minerals, and vitamins. It should be emphasized that the meat pigeons raised in the family must provide enough feed according to their nutritional needs so that the pigeons can develop normally and their production potential can be fully realized.

Water is the main ingredient that makes up the pigeon body and the egg. The water content of the pigeon and egg is about 70%, the adult pigeon has about 60% water, and the old pigeon is about 50%. The lack of water is much more serious than the lack of feed, ranging from indigestion, elevated body temperature, impeded growth and development, and heavy body poisoning.

Energy energy is the most basic nutrient of a pigeon. All physiological activities of pigeons, including exercise, breathing, circulation, neural activity, reproduction, absorption, excretion, and body temperature regulation, are all inseparable from the supply of energy. The main source of energy is carbohydrates, followed by fats and proteins. Carbohydrates occupy a very important position in the life activities of pigeons. 70%-80% of energy comes from it. In addition to being used as energy, carbohydrates are converted into fat and deposited in the body as a reserve energy, or used for egg production.

Carbohydrates mainly include starch, sugars, and fibers. Starch is the cheapest source of energy for pigeons in feed ingredients. Therefore, starch-rich feeds such as corn and wheat must be fed in the pigeon's diet. The cellulose is mainly present in the husks of cereals. The proper amount of cellulose in the diet can promote pigeon's peristalsis, which is beneficial to the digestion and absorption of other nutrients. However, the cellulose content of the diet should not be too high, because the pigeons have low digestibility of cellulose. If the cellulose content is too high, the available energy will be reduced, and the growth and production needs of the pigeons cannot be guaranteed. When the energy supply in the diet is insufficient, the pigeons use the protein and fat in the feed to decompose to generate heat, and even use body fat and body protein to generate heat to meet the needs of physiological activities. This is economically undoubtedly a waste. The growth and development of the body can also cause adverse effects. However, if there are too many carbohydrates in the diet, the most fat in the pigeon body will be deposited and the body will be fattened, affecting its reproductive performance. At the same time, it will also cause a waste of feed resources, which is also detrimental to the production efficiency.

The needs of the pigeon body for energy nutrition vary according to the breed, age, feeding style, use and seasonal environment of the pigeon. Usually the breeders, the smaller birds and the caged pigeons consume energy during the hot season Should be lower, otherwise it should be higher.

The protein protein is an important material basis of life and is an important component of various organ tissues and pigeon eggs of the pigeon body. The muscles, internal organs, skin, blood, feathers, body fluids, nerves, hormones, and antibodies of the pigeon body are all proteins. The main raw material composition. The metabolism and reproduction of pigeons require a large amount of protein to meet the requirements of cell tissue renewal and repair. Therefore, in order for the pigeons to grow well and produce high performance, a sufficient quantity and good quality of protein must be provided in the diet.

When the protein provided in the diet is suitable, the life activities of the pigeon, such as growth, development, egg production, and incubation, can be carried out normally and economically. Excessive protein can cause waste, and it can also cause metabolic diseases that are not conducive to the growth and development of the pigeons.

There are many types of mineral salts in minerals made up of minerals, including calcium, phosphorus, potassium, iron, copper, sulfur, manganese, zinc, iodine, magnesium and selenium. Minerals are essential for the health of pigeons, the normal growth of bones and muscles, the development of young birds, and the production of eggs and breasts for adult birds. They have the functions of regulating body osmotic pressure, maintaining acid-base balance, and promoting the enzyme system. It is also The important components of bone, eggshell, hemoglobin and other tissues.

Vitamin vitamins play an important role in the material metabolism of pigeons. The vitamins, D3, B1 (thiamine), B2 (riboflavin), B2, E, and K are the most common vitamins in pigeons.

In order to ensure that the effect of vitamin supplementation is not destroyed, avoid high temperatures, exposure, cooking, etc., vitamin additives should be stored in a cool, dark place.
