More than 50 small peacocks from the city forest zoo broke the shell

Last week, more than 50 small peacocks were artificially incubated by the city forest zoo.

Due to the lack of peacocks in the artificial breeding environment, the number of peacocks in the city forest zoo once decreased a lot.

In recent years, in order to increase the number of peacock populations, the city forest zoo has adopted artificial incubation methods to breed more peacocks. In May this year, the city's forest zoo technicians launched the new year's artificial incubation.

The technicians first collected the fertilized peacock eggs and sent it to the garden treasure breeding center.

The technicians then selected the qualified peacock eggs into the incubation box for incubation. The incubation box controls the temperature and humidity of the computer, and the peacock eggs are automatically turned every two hours. In the meantime, technicians should measure egg temperature regularly and check the development of small peacocks.

About 26 days later, the technicians turned the peacock eggs into the chicks. About 2 days later, a small peacock broke the shell in the outlet box.

The technicians put the little peacock in the shell into the breeding box and raised for about two weeks. As the little peacock grows up and the environmental adaptability has increased, the technicians transfer the small peacock from a high temperature breeding box to a low -temperature cage. About 45 days later, the technicians transferred the peacock into the breeding room.

After about half a year, the technicians will be raised in groups according to the physical condition of the peacock. One year later, the peacock will meet with tourists.
