What are the benefits of raising chickens in the garden?

The chickens raised in the park have unique flavor, excellent quality, no fishy smell and delicious taste. It is very popular with consumers and the price is high. It is a high-yield breeding form. So what are the specific advantages?

① Improve disease resistance.

Because the chicken farm is built in the garden, surrounded by plants such as fruit trees, plants need to constantly absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen during their growth. In this gas exchange cycle, plant leaves will absorb a lot of pathogenic microorganisms and dust, thus keeping the air fresh. Fresh air is very important for the normal development and healthy growth of chickens. It can improve the disease resistance of chickens and reduce the occurrence of diseases.

② Saving cultivated land

The garden is large, the shade is suitable and the air environment is good. In the case of less arable land per capita, it can save a lot of arable land and land acquisition costs.

③ Purify the environment

In order to control pests and diseases, fruit trees generally need to be sprayed more than ten times a year. Some of these drugs are highly effective and low toxic pesticides, mainly some fungicides and disinfectants. After spraying these drugs, not only the pests and diseases of fruit trees were controlled, but also the surrounding environment of chicken farms was purified and disinfected.

④ Save feed.

Chickens can prey on pests, grass and grass seeds, which expands their eating range. It can not only save some feed, but also overcome malnutrition caused by simple artificial feeding. At the same time, the free activities of chickens can enhance their physique, effectively prevent bad habits such as pecking hair and anal, and promote the healthy growth of chickens, which not only changes the taste of meat, but also improves the laying rate of laying hens. At the same time, plant grass in the orchard or let it grow naturally to provide green feed for chickens.

⑤ Reduce diseases.

The garden is wide, tree-lined, fresh and cool, and the environment is comfortable. It's not easy to get an epidemic. At the same time, raising chickens in orchards and mountainous areas and staying away from village houses can avoid and reduce mutual infection of diseases.

⑥ Chickens have the habit of pecking at grass and grass seeds, which has a certain inhibitory effect on weeds.

According to the experiment, there are 20 chickens per mu of orchard, and weeds only account for about 20% of the chicken-free orchard; The number of chickens has increased and weeds have decreased. In addition, there are beetles, red spiders, weevils, marching insects, jujube scale insects and so on. In spring, grasshoppers, crickets, caterpillars, spiders, heartworms, termites, beetles, earth tigers and so on. In summer and autumn, most of the adults, larvae, eggs and pupae that enter the soil before winter are eaten by chickens to reduce the harm of pests to fruit trees and forests.

⑦ Improve soil fertility.

Chickens live in parks, and chicken manure is discharged in parks. Chicken manure contains nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other elements needed for tree growth, which can not only improve soil fertility, but also promote tree growth, thus saving fertilizer and reducing investment in purchasing and transporting fertilizer.

The above is about the related advantages of raising chickens in rural areas for everyone to learn, understand and refer to, hoping to help everyone.
