The special poultry industry in China began in the 1980s and has developed for over a decade. Representative special poultry breeds include: colorful pheasants, partridges, green-head ducks, pearl chickens, black-bone chickens, black phoenix chickens, lady chickens, turkeys, quail, pigeon meat, blue peafowls, golden pheasants, hazel grouse, black swans, and ostriches, among others. Over the past decade, China's special poultry industry has grown rapidly through introducing, absorbing, and applying modern poultry farming technologies and management methods. It has moved from population breeding and promotion to model demonstration and utilization, following a healthy development path. The industry has become an important component of "high-quality, high-yield, and high-efficiency" aquaculture and has emerged as one of the world's leading producers and consumers of special poultry.
China's special poultry production practices have proven that, due to the diverse breeds of special poultry, development should be market-oriented, focusing on producing marketable products. Benefits should be sought through scale and management, modern scientific and technological applications and research in special poultry farming should be strengthened, the "company + farmer" model for intensive production should be implemented, and an industrialization path should be pursued. A sound social service system for special poultry farming should be established. China's special poultry industry will continue to develop steadily.
This book covers eight special poultry breeds: colorful pheasants, partridges, green-head ducks, black phoenix chickens, pearl chickens, golden pheasants, pigeon meat, and ostriches. From their appearance and living habits to feeding, breeding, and disease prevention and treatment techniques, it introduces readers to successful experiences based on learning advanced foreign farming technologies while combining years of production and management practices. The book is rich in content, provides detailed and up-to-date information, and is a highly practical technical book for special poultry promotion. It is particularly suitable for special poultry farming technicians and managers, as well as (extensive breeders).
