| Abstract | To explore the effects of breeds, number of nurturing squabs, and temperature on nest feed conversion ratio and analyze the effects of number of nurturing squabs on parent pigeon body mass, fertility rate, and laying intervals, 5 widely used breeds of pigeon were nurtured under the condition of natural laying and hatching in this research. In each breed, 24 pair pigeons nurturing 1, 2, 3, and 4 squabs were chosen to measure the production performance, respectively. The results indicate that different numbers of nurturing squabs had a significant effect on parent pigeon body mass changes and survival rate of 28-d old squabs (P<0.05); the nest feed conversion ratio of breeds nurturing 1 squab (7.58) was extremely significantly higher than those of nurturing 2, 3, and 4 squabs (P<0.01); the nest feed conversion ratio of breeds nurturing 2 squabs (4.75) was extremely significantly higher than those of nurturing 3 (3.95) and 4 squabs (3.75) (P<0.01); there was no significant difference between breeds nurturing 3 and 4 squabs (P>0.05). Laying intervals of breeds nurturing 4 squabs (43.8 d) were significantly higher than those of nurturing 3 (37.4 d), 2 (35.4 d), and 1 (33.8 d) squabs (P<0.05). Nest feed conversion ratio significantly increased with the decrease of environment temperature (P<0.05). The breed showed no effect on the nest feed conversion ratio. In production, nurturing 3 squabs of parent pigeons is appropriate. In some cold areas in winter, cold protection measures should be taken. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
