Ecological breeding refers to the application of ecological principles, the protection of biological diversity and stability of waters, and the rational use of multiple resources to achieve the best ecological and economic benefits.
Ecological breeding is a production model that is strongly advocated in rural areas at present.
Its most important feature is that within a limited space, different species of animal groups are artificially linked together with feed as a link to form a circular chain.
The purpose is to maximize the use of resources, reduce waste, and lower costs.
Compared with intensive, factory farming, ecological farming is to let livestock and poultry in the natural ecological environment in accordance with their original growth and development law of natural growth.
Instead of artificially creating a growth environment and using growth promoters to make them grow rapidly in violation of their original growth and development laws.
With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, the products produced by intensive, factory farming methods, and the quality and taste of poor livestock and poultry products can no longer meet the growing consumer demand.
And a small number of rural households do not feed the full-price feed with free-range ecological livestock and poultry.
Because of its low yield and low quantity, it can not meet the consumer demand for ecological livestock and poultry products.
Therefore, modern ecological farming came into being.
However, there is no unified standard and fixed pattern on how to do modern ecological breeding well.
In order to get good ecological breeding, the following points must be noted.
1. Choose the right natural ecological environment
A suitable natural ecological environment is the basis for modern ecological farming.
Without a suitable natural ecological environment, ecological farming can not be discussed.
The development of ecological breeding must be based on the nature of the livestock and poultry raised to choose a natural ecological environment suitable for the growth of livestock and poultry without pollution.
It is necessary to have a relatively large natural activity place so that the livestock and poultry can move freely and let them grow naturally.
2. Use of compound feed
The use of compound feed is the fundamental difference between modern ecological farming and rural one-family free-range farming.
If only free-range farming is carried out in a suitable natural ecological environment without the use of compound feed.
The growth rate of livestock and poultry is bound to be very slow and their economic efficiency will be very low.
Therefore, modern ecological farming still requires the use of compound feeds.
However, growth promoters and animal feeds should not be added to the compound feeds used.
Because adding growth promoters can accelerate the growth of livestock and poultry, but their residues in livestock and poultry products reduce the quality of livestock and poultry products.
At the same time also reduces the taste of livestock and poultry products to meet consumer demand.
3. Pay attention to the collection of livestock and poultry manure
Most of the time, the livestock and poultry in ecological farming are in a free-ranging state.
They may discharge manure anytime and anywhere.
If this manure cannot be cleaned up in time, it will inevitably cause environmental pollution, and also easily cause the spread of epidemic diseases, which will affect the economic benefits of breeders and the health of people.
Therefore, livestock and poultry manure should be cleaned up in time to reduce environmental pollution and ensure environmental health.
But the most important thing is that the visibility of a commodity is important.
So it is important to do a good job of promoting the benefits of ecological breeding and the quality of the birds raised through it to consumers.
Only by raising awareness can consumers be more receptive, so establishing a brand about ecological breeding is a more important task.
