Peacock breeding method

Peacock is a unique bird species belonging to the genus Pavo, and it has become an increasingly popular and special animal in China. The peacocks commonly raised in the country include blue peafowl, green peafowl, and white peafowl. Among these, blue peafowls are the most numerous, followed by white ones, while green peafowls are classified as a second-class protected species with limited breeding numbers. Peacock meat is considered a delicacy, known for being high in protein, low in cholesterol and fat, making it a premium food item with significant nutritional value. **Habits** Peacocks are alert and have strong legs, which make them excellent runners but poor fliers. They rarely live or move alone and prefer to stay in groups. In the wild, they tend to inhabit areas near mountains, streams, or farmlands, often choosing to roost in trees. As omnivores, they feed on a variety of foods such as fruits, seeds, grasses, grains, and small insects like crickets and grasshoppers. **Reproduction Characteristics** Male peacocks reach sexual maturity at around 22 months. In the wild, breeding typically begins in mid-February, while under artificial conditions, it starts in early March. Males are active during dawn and dusk, displaying their colorful feathers to attract females. When a female shows interest, the male will mount her briefly, and mating lasts only 5 to 10 seconds. About 15 days after mating, the female begins laying eggs. Wild peacocks build nests in shrubs, bamboo groves, or grasslands, using materials like weeds, twigs, and leaves. A single female usually lays around 8 eggs, which take 26 to 28 days to hatch. In captivity, peacocks typically lay eggs from March to August, producing 20 to 35 eggs annually. Eggs are oval, ranging in color from white to light brown, with an average weight of 100 to 125 grams. They are laid every other day, mainly between 5 PM and sunset. Artificial incubation is often required for newly hatched peacocks due to their weak hatching abilities. Fresh, clean eggs with a proper shape index should be selected and soaked in a 0.05% potassium permanganate solution for 5 to 10 minutes before incubation. The ideal temperature is 36.5–37.5°C, with humidity maintained at 60–70% during incubation, rising to 70–75% two days before hatching. Eggs should be turned every 2–4 hours, and ventilation is crucial to prevent deformities. **Cage Structure** Peacock housing doesn't require complex setups. A well-drained site with good elevation is ideal. The cage should be divided into indoor and outdoor sections. The indoor area should be 4 meters high, 4 meters wide, and 3 meters deep, with insulation and a layer of sand on the floor. The outdoor space should be large enough (5m x 5m) with wire mesh fencing. Trees can be planted for shade during hot weather. **Rearing Young Peacocks** From hatching to 2 months old, young peacocks need careful care. The brooding temperature should start at 34°C and gradually decrease to 18–20°C over time. Humidity should be kept between 60–70%, and regular ventilation is essential. Young peacocks should also be exposed to sunlight to help them adapt to natural conditions. Their diet should be rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals, with frequent feedings that gradually reduce as they grow. **Feeding and Management** During the breeding season, peacocks should be fed regularly with balanced diets, including vegetables, alfalfa, and fruits. During egg-laying periods, feeding should be adjusted to increase protein and mineral intake. Proper hygiene, nest management, and stress reduction are vital for successful breeding. **Disease Prevention** Maintaining cleanliness is key to preventing diseases. Before introducing peacocks to their enclosures, all equipment must be sterilized. Deworming should be done quarterly, and vaccinations against Newcastle disease are recommended at specific intervals. Regular disinfection and pest control are also important to ensure the health of the flock.

High Polymer Emulsifier

1. Product name:

AKD High Polymer Emulsifier

2. Product introduction:

AKD high polymer emulsifier (instead of traditional cationic starch based) is a kind of cationic polymer product developed by our technical department,which is the initiative developed product in the market.It can not only emulsify AKD Wax,but also proteched the AKD colloid dispersion and aid retention,it also can increase AKD sizing efficiency(2%-8%).It can get the high stability and better fixing effect AKD emulsion by mechanical stirring,in the meantime it greatly decrease AKD hygrolysis during storage and sizing process.Final AKD Emulsion shelf time is about 6 months which is longer than starch emulsified AKD emulsion.The final AKD Emulsion also has quicker curing effect.

3.Specification and Index:

Item	Specification
Appearance	light yellow viscosity liquid
Solid content	40%min
Viscosity,mPa.s,25°C	2000-10000 mPa.s
pH value	2-5
shelf life	6 months

4. Application:

This Emulsifier greatly restricts the AKD hydrolysis and the migration aptitude.It can replace the starch based emulsifier and AKD Curing Agent,at the same time decrease the AKD WAX using quantity.The final AKD Emulsion by this high polymer emulsifier can realize 80% sizing effect after paper machine,and almost totally realize after rewinding,which can let the paper immediately get the good water resistance effect,so less surface sizing agent in size press can fulfill all the sizing requirement.For detail using method,please contact Greatland Chemicals Co.,Ltd.

5. Package and storage:

It should be stored in the warehouse with dry and cool condition protected from frozen and sunlight directly. The temperature should be below 30°C.

Packing with 200kg, 1000kg/drum.
