This paper,based on practical experience in key production stages of meat pigeons in the Northern Anhui region,including breed selection,egg laying and hatching,squab rearing,molting,and routine management,proposed pathways for improving reproductive performance from five dimensions:genetic improvement,nutritional regulation,environmental optimization,behavioral norms,and health protection.Regarding seed selection,superior breeding pigeons with fast growth,high yield,broad adaptability,and strong disease resistance are chosen;through dynamic evaluation,combined with purebred propagation,family selection,and individual selection,breeding pigeons with stable heredity,high reproductive capacity,good brooding ability,and fast squab growth are preferentially selected.For mating,homogeneous mating is primarily adopted,supplemented by heterogeneous mating,to ensure scientific pairing.Regarding egg laying and hatching,diets are rationally formulated according to body weight;appropriate health grit(coarse sand,red soil,shell powder,bone meal,etc.)is provided;sufficient pigeon cages(length 45-50 cm,width 40-45 cm,height 50 cm)and nests(diameter 25-30 cm,depth 8-10 cm)are prepared;and artificial incubation is supplemented at a temperature of 37.8-38.2℃,with infertile eggs and dead embryo eggs observed and removed throughout the process.Regarding squab rearing management,parent pigeons are carefully fed(beans 35%-40%,energy feed 60%-65%);timely training and squab merging are carried out;foster pigeons that are healthy,disease-free,strong in incubating and rearing ability,and in good mental state are rationally utilized;and artificial feeding is adopted when squabs are abandoned or weak.In late summer and early autumn,artificial measures are taken for forced molting(day 1,feed withdrawal but not water;days 2-3,both feed and water withdrawal;then gradually adding diet).Regarding routine management,an appropriate environment is provided(stocking density≤3 pairs/m²,cooling in summer and warming in winter,relative humidity 55%- 65%);clean drinking water is ensured;disease prevention and control are strengthened(vaccination with inactivated Newcastle disease vaccine,avian influenza vaccine,etc.);and records of pedigree,production,and management are well maintained.This paper provides a reference for meat pigeon breeding.
