Dominant definition. Dominants - what is this? Principle and types of dominants. See what "Dominant" is in other dictionaries

The most unencumbered and widespread way of housekeeping is breeding chickens, among which, perhaps, one of the best breeds is distinguished by the simplicity of growing - these are dominant chickens. Consider the productivity of this breed, how this bird should be kept at home.

Chickens Dominant - the most productive breed of egg direction, specially bred in the laboratories of the Czech Republic. These bird crosses are distinguished by their increased egg-laying ability. Once several generations of Czech breeders decided to develop a new breed of poultry with a large egg-laying.

The goal of the project was the survival of the Dominant chickens in harsh conditions. To create this breed, biologists crossed several thoroughbred classes, such as Primutrok, Rhode Island crosses, Sussex and others. At the same time, they wanted to preserve the best qualities of all breeds and they did it successfully. According to breeders from the Czech Republic, the Dominant chicken breed has practically no flaws.

Today this breed of poultry with the most beautiful decorative plumage is fully formed. Farms in more than thirty countries around the world are engaged in her breeding. In Switzerland, competitions for ecological production are held annually, in which the Dominant chicken breed also takes part, where it occupies prestigious places.

Characteristics of the breed of chickens Dominant

The presented chicken breed is one of the best options for a standard laying hen. Czech breeders did their best to preserve both productive qualities and attractive external data in the breed.

As mentioned above, the breed is primarily valued for its increased egg production; one laying hen can produce up to 300 eggs per year. The most remarkable thing is that chickens grow up early, from five months they begin to rush.

The breed has increased immunity, as it is quite resistant to various diseases and harmful factors. For these reasons, novice farmers are trying to purchase Dominant chickens for breeding poultry into their farm.

Plumage

The chicken has a voluminous plumage, so it seems much more massive than it actually is. With a visually large mass, it has a small head with a small comb and reddish earrings. The carcass is squat with short legs, the wings fit tightly to the sides, which makes the chicken even wider.

The color range of feathers in the breed is different. Small chickens usually have dark plumage, while roosters have small specks on the crown.

The temperament of the Czech breed of chickens

Layers of Czech origin do not differ in special disposition. They are moderately active, but cluck loudly. The courtyard will be heard far away in the surrounding area with its singing. It will be important to note that males are not pugnacious, they easily get along in the same territory with other species of birds.

According to farmers, Dominant chickens are a little shy, when they change their place of residence they experience stress, but this does not in any way affect the egg production process, which is quite pleasing to the owners. Chickens of this breed are distinguished by early maturation.

Chickens behave better when walking in a fenced-in open space. In a closer space, they will also behave calmly, get along well with other breeds. The bird must necessarily walk in the sunlight, receiving vitamin D. Chickens normally adapt to any conditions of detention.

Description of the main types of chickens of the Dominant breed

Let's consider the main varieties of this breed.

Table 1. Types of chickens of the Dominant breed.

Advantages and disadvantages of the breed

Consider the undoubted advantages of keeping and some of the disadvantages of the Dominant chicken breed.

Advantages:

1. Early puberty and onset of egg production.
2. The eggs are quite large in size, weighing up to 65-70g. With a balanced diet, they rush almost daily, except for the molt period. After two years, the sock decreases and the breed needs to be changed. Eggs have excellent taste. Sometimes there are eggs with two yolks weighing up to 120g.
3. Roosters gain weight rather quickly, meat of live weight can be obtained by 4 months.

   
   

4. Fertilization of eggs reaches 90%, a very high survival rate of young animals - up to 95-98%;
5. Chickens of this species have a calm, accommodating character, do not have panic attacks, and quickly get used to their new location. Tame, docile, non-conflicting.
6. Keeping chickens does not require any special skills and significant material costs.
7. They are unpretentious in food, they peck at everything that is poured into the feeder for them.

Disadvantages:

1. The secrecy of the breed. Very often, chickens look for secluded places for laying eggs, so the owner will have to work hard and look for them.
2. Bad maternal instinct.
3. If the chicken coop is small and the birds are close to it, eggs may bite. This phenomenon is rare in case of outdoor content.

   
   

Conditions of detention and breeding

The quality of chicken meat and egg production of layers are directly influenced by the conditions of the Dominant breed. For novice farmers and people running their own household, it will not be superfluous to get acquainted with the recommendations for caring for Dominant chickens:

1. Despite the fact that this breed can easily withstand any weather conditions, and at the same time not lose its productivity, the owner is still recommended to warm the chicken coop in winter. The best option is to maintain the temperature in the room in the region of -5 ° C.

   
   

2. When constructing a room for containment, the space required for them should be calculated so that they are not cramped. The calculation is as follows: for 4-5 birds there is one square meter.
3. It is recommended to cover the floor with straw or peat bedding, but first sprinkle it with a known flour and put another layer. Lime will help prevent the growth of pathogenic microorganisms.

   
   

4. Layers of the Dominant breed can often lay eggs even during the molting period. True, this fact does not have a very good effect on the quality of the clutches. The farmer can correct the situation by adding mineral supplements to the feed. This will help the egg shell formation process.
5. For walking, they enclose an area with sufficient sunlight. After all, chickens, like people, need vitamin D. Also, walking in freedom, a bird can independently find food for itself in the form of garden worms, insects, and weeds. In addition, thanks to daily walking, the palatability of chicken meat is improved.

   
   

Influence of living conditions on egg production

If a chicken lives in comfort and care, it may well live up to ten years. At the same time, its productivity will be maintained. In the first year of life, the laying hen gives up to 300 eggs per year, as it grows up, this number can reach 320 eggs. After the fourth year of life, the hen already lays fewer eggs, but, nevertheless, produces products further.

Often during the period of replacement of the feather cover, egg-laying may stop. On average, the period is slightly over one month. Moulting usually begins in the autumn season.

Feeding chickens Dominant

As mentioned above, chickens of this breed are unpretentious to feed, and peck everything that poultry should eat. If the owner wants the laying hen to lay more eggs, it is necessary to feed the bird with a properly balanced feed. It should consist of compound feed, various grain crops, mineral supplements, vitamins, bone meal, greens.

Types of chicken feed

In the household, for feeding poultry, feed is used, consisting of three main types.

Compound feed

This type of feed is quite convenient, you do not need to think about its composition, you just need to measure the required amount, which is enough for a whole brood, mix with other components and the feed is ready. It has everything you need to feed the bird.

In accordance with age characteristics, pedigree specialists, experts select the composition of the compound feed. It has only one drawback - its cost, in order to save money, it is cheaper for the farmer to prepare the composition himself.

The finished compound feed must be balanced, therefore its preparation is based solely on the approved GOSTs. Consider what exactly the compound feed must necessarily include:

• ingredients of plant origin, for example, various crops;
• ingredients of animal origin (fats);
• various mineral supplements;
• fortified supplements.

Premix prices for chickens

Premix for chickens

A balanced compound feed should usually contain up to 75% of cereals. Depending on the age and purpose of the Dominant chickens, a suitable mixture is selected for them. It is strongly not recommended to feed chickens with compound feed, which is intended for feeding an adult hen.

When buying a ready-made mixture, you need to pay attention to when it was made, what is its shelf life. If there are no date marks on the bag, then you should refuse such a purchase. Expired compound feed can harm the health of poultry.

Calculation of the feed rate

Novice farmers mistakenly think that the more feed you give your bird, the better. This is a wrong opinion. Feed is given strictly according to the norm: the lack is as bad as the overabundance. If the chicken pecks on grains a lot, it will quickly begin to fatten, which will affect the egg production process, there will be fewer of them. The same result will be obtained due to lack of feed, moreover, the live weight of meat will be small.

How to calculate the correct feed rate? The calculation is as follows: the weight of the bird is calculated, then 20 g of any feed should fall on a pound of its live weight. Let's look at an example. The usual average weight of a chicken is about 2 kg, if she lays more than a hundred eggs per year, then she needs to be given 125 g of feed daily.

In winter, the feed rate is increased. More boiled vegetables, meat and bone meal, dairy products (whey), shells, finely chopped shells should be added to the composition.

Wet food is prepared at one time so that it does not sour.

Mixed feed

Poultry feed should also contain protein, fat and protein. All this is necessary for normal egg production. The bird can find proteins on its own in the form of slugs, earthworms, snails. But in winter, artificial proteins should be added to the feed.

Consider what you need to feed the chickens to replenish the protein in the bird's body:

• dairy products. If there is a cow on the farm, then you can add milk to the chickens in the feed, as well as its processing in the form of whey, and so on;
• flour from dry processed blood, meat, bone or fish meal;
• you can create a special earthen pile on the farm and grow Californian red worms in it throughout the year for feeding poultry (by the way, this is a separate good business).

In the morning, it is recommended to feed the bird with moistened food with chopped herbs, grated vegetables and root vegetables, for example, pumpkin, zucchini, beets, cabbage leaves. Nettle, vegetable tops, weeds from the garden, and alfalfa are added to the feed as greens. It helps to fill the lack of vitamins in the body.

Productivity and egg production of chickens

In the matter of egg production, Dominant chickens have no equal. Laying hens of this breed can lay up to 320 or more eggs per year. Consider which eggs are laid by chickens of this breed.

1. Eggs with a brown tint. Among buyers there are invented legends that brown eggs are always produced by domestic hens, and white eggs come from an incubator. This is a wrong opinion. The color scheme of the eggshell depends directly on the plumage of the individual itself. In this regard, the color of the shell is different. The shell of cream shades occurs in chickens of the Dominat breed blue, brown, brown, Sussex. In addition to Dominant Leghorn, other crosses have a brown color.

   
   

2. Eggs with a white shell. The fertility of any breed of chickens does not depend in any way on the color of the eggshell. If the plumage of the chicken is naturally white, then the outer hard shell of the eggs will also be white. In households or farms, you can often find Dominant chickens in white tones. These birds are characterized by early puberty. Therefore, the laying of eggs begins quite early, after five months of age. They then lay eggs continuously throughout the year. They produce over 300 eggs every year. One drawback of these crosses still exists - this is the lack of maternal instinct.

   
   

The highest peak in egg-laying occurs when the hen is over one and a half years old. At this moment, the number of eggs laid by one chicken annually can be more than 320 pieces. After three years of age, the chicken gradually decreases egg production.

The quality of the content directly depends on when exactly the chicken starts to lay. If the care is poor, then it is unlikely that she will lay an egg in six months. Therefore, if the farmer is serious about raising poultry, it is recommended to create comfortable conditions for the birds.

The difficulties of keeping chickens in a private farm

When breeding chickens on a farm backyard or in a private household, one may encounter such a problem as a weak instinct for incubating hens. They are impatient, unable to sit in one place for three weeks before the chickens are born.

The next unpleasant moment is the splitting of crosses into ancestral breeds in chickens during personal farming. The breed may gradually degenerate, which will affect productivity and egg production. The farmer makes a decision for himself: either he buys the chickens bred by the hybrid method, or with the help of the hens of his backyard. Pure breed can only be purchased from well-proven suppliers.

Chickens of hens Dominant

From the very first day, chickens of this breed have strong immunity. They practically do not get sick, the survival rate of individuals is up to 98%, which in itself is an excellent indicator of the breed. In order for these qualities to be preserved in future generations, it is necessary to properly care for the bird from the very beginning.

It is advisable to buy eggs or ready-made chickens from specialized enterprises or from a reliable supplier, so as not to stumble upon a fake. After making a purchase, it is necessary to carry out primary prevention. The scheme is as follows:

Chickens are usually kept in specially constructed boxes. Therefore, from time to time, it is required to disinfect them. For processing, quicklime is quite suitable. It is bred with water in the required proportion, and then a box or box for young animals is processed.

The floor will require litter, which should be changed frequently, as chicks can spill water and turn feed. Finely chopped straw or hay, sawdust, well mixed with peat, are used as bedding. The latter is very useful in that it absorbs excess liquid well, and it also protects babies from the effects of harmful microorganisms.

Care

• compliance with the temperature regime. In the room where chickens are kept in the first month of their life, it is recommended to maintain a temperature of about 30 0 C. There should be no drops or drafts. Then gradually lower the temperature by a couple of degrees.
• treating feeders and drinking bowls with disinfectant solutions to avoid health problems for chicks;

  
  

• feeding up to six times a day, strictly on schedule. The food should be complete, nutritious, finely grated and fresh. In order for the food to be well digested, coarse river sand should be added to the food.
