The male have a great queue with some 150 feathers,
That they can raise in arch to form a proud fan.
During centuries the turqueys real they have appeared in the
mythology and in the folklore, and they have been admired for their
beauty and hunted by their meat, and in recent times they have
Become a funny one added to the parks.
There are two species: the Indian one Turquey Cristalus of Ceylán
and India and the turquey real, Turquey Muticus that has a
distribution more al this and is found in Birmania,
Thailand, Indochina, the Malayan peninsula and Java.
The Turquey of the Congo, of the kind Afro
turquey, the unique one phaisanid originated out of Asia, is found in the
rainy forests of the east head office of the basin of the river
Zaire. These magnificas fowls whose scientific name
it is pavus cristatus, since always they have captivated the
attention and admiration of the man by their incomparable one
Plumaje and the elegance and señorío that they exhibit. Not in vain to
all that person that itself proud of if same desmedidamente
it it is compared with these ostentosas fowls oriundas of the India
and of the Southeast of Asian, the pavos real today they have a
universal distribution thanks to the cultores that with
Distinct luck have taken care and endeavored in raising them.
Traditionally have been owners or exclusividad of
coleccionistas, some amateur, exotic inhabitants of
Great decorative value for pompous parks. Is possible
to observe that in the last years, they have begun to have
interesting demand on the part of the public in general,
Due to the popularización of its tenencia. Today, the
need to maintain one more contact palmario with all it
that it signifies the nature, above all those whose
demonstration produces greater esthetic impact, gives a new one
impulse to the production of this not traditional species in
The environment pecuario. Currently we count in the
Argentine with copies of diverse quality, that itself they fit in in
two main species: the Turquey Real Blue or
Common and the Turquey Real Green or Specific.
The
Different Races
Through cruzamientos, selection, mutaciones,
fijación of characters, they were formed, among others, the
following races: Pavo Real White, of Black or Speckled and
Turquey Real Arlequín. Each one of them has characteristics
fenotípicas own well you defined, although they respond all
to a same sanitary and biological boss; because of it the
recaudos and the particularities of the breeding are the same
for all.the lodgings should respond tonorms
general of hygiene and salubridad: orientation
adequate (the ideal thing is that the front look at al NE and the espaldar
al THEMSELVES, or toward where they dominate the cold winds, this
various according to the zone); place soleado, ventilado, dry,
confortable, easy to clean and higienizar and with the
sufficient amplitude so that the fowls not have inconveniences
Of conduct. With the sufficient height to permit the leap
(a necessary exercise) and the development of the queue in
male trying congeniar these norms, a habitáculo
arranged with the requerimientos most minimum for a trío
reproductor to should have the following dimensions: 3
m of long, 2 to 2,5 m of wide and 2,5 to 3 m of height.the
contrafrente should be airtight, al the same as a third (or
the half) of the lateral, al front and the others lateral
They should count on wire. The roof should be of sheet or another
material waterproof, and will be able to be comprised of lateral curtains
the ones that will help to bear climatic conditions
Adverse. The floor suggested in this case should be of cement
portland smoothed, with good slope and drain that permit
To carry out with facility the cleaning and periodic disinfection.
The floor will be complemented, in the case of being possible, with zócalos
of some 10 cm and will be filled with rice shell bed
or girasol, being been able to utilize also viruta average or
gross of wood (with a not lower desirable thickness to the
5 cm). If the floor out of ground, is advisable to excavate
Among 10 or 15 cm, and to fill the well with conchilla. This
task would permit to have a good drainage and to be able to do
Partial or total removals according to the need. This is
extensible to all the lodgings that count on patio
Exterior of manageable dimensions.
Not
always “Three are multitude”
The nuclei reproductores are
Conformed by a male adult and from a to three females.
We consider exemplary adults in fulness when reach
the 3 years of age, above all being trying the variety
Specific. The Turquey Real Blue of good breeding
they initiate their activity reproductiva to the 2 years of age, it
that coincides, in the male, with the growth of its
First queue. To the hour of projecting the reproduction itself
they should select individuals of good structure and
conformación and that they respond al standard of the variety or
chosen race, discarding for this end those with
indications of mestizaje, faulty, high degree of
Consanguinidad, or with a not satisfactory final development.
In the management reproductivo, certain aspects of the
Installations should be had very in account. One of them
it is the percha or posadero, that should be built with wood
hard, smooth, without cracks, wide and flat, with edges romos
to permit a good tight one of the legs and to avoid
Possible wounds. The same one will be set conveniently to
1,5 m, approximately, of the floor. In spite of the time and the
generations of Turquey real servants by the man, these
animal not they have lost many of their instincts and reactions
of their ancestros wild, such as their temperament
easily frightened and the distrust and the to remain alert, attentive
to everything that occur in its around that not respond to its
routine, or that originate of the air space, environment of some
of its predadores natural, arriving in some cases to
to suffer traumatismos serious by the leaps, flights and
movements descontrolados that try the pavos real in
Their eagerness of fleeing al to be frightened. Another conduct conserved in
The females is the nidificación. Following said boss
they seek a high place; and, if they are in liberty, they elect trees
añosos or roofs (above all of straw); if they remain in
installations can carry out the oviposición in the
Perchas, having losses of eggs by rotura. For
to avoid it, should be placed a plataforma of high wood,
with railings, fills of straw or pasto dry and of easy
access for the animals, of form such that these be able
Reaching it jumping since the posadero. Likewise, in the epoch
of position that can be initiated according to the climatic benevolence
in setiembre, being extended to January, they will be reinforced the
areas from the ground floor the percha with material well mullido
to diminish losses of eggs cracked.are important
them measured minimums of the habitáculo to facilitate the connections
successful, given that the male one in its loving fight begins the
seduction or courtship with an erection and unfold complete
in fan of its queue of 1,20 meter of long, which does
to vibrate with energy in small intervals, while the
female simulates to pay attention omitted, and including being maintained to
certain distance; arrived the point culminante the male one
it attacks in short career and covers it emitting a shout
characteristic and extending all along and against the soil
its queue fold, what is indispensable for a copulación
adequate of its sewers and so that be produced in form
Adequate the fertilización.
Epoch
of Position
The
females begin the position to the 2 years of age and, although
in their first time they are used to being somewhat irregular they can put
To a dozen of eggs. As of the third year the
position will oscillate around 20 eggs for season, in
three tandas separated for periods of rest.the eggs
they should retire to avoid that the pavas they be thrown
(encluequen); in this way a greater one can be obtained production. For the incubación in small scale itself
resorts the mothers sustitutas by excellence: chickens
mansas and docile, as the sedosas of the Japan, the pigmeas,
or chickens of greater postage, type "of field", animal with good maternal instinct. For the incubación in
greater scale they should be utilized incubadoras, that they will owe
to be maintained to a temperature of 38,5°C, with a humidity of
60 - 70 percent, provided of a tray with water in the
Lower part, with a minimum of four volteos daily.
Also the good ventilation should take care of himself. The eggs
eclosionan to the 28 days. The Turquey
BB 24 hours remain in the nacedora and then themselves
they place in the artificial mothers with white lamps or screens of gas as fountain of heat, without abuse the same one,
and trying to maintain a temperature under the lamp of some
3O - 32°C. By the placidez and the lack of
a piar insistent, as acongojado, we will perceive the
welfare of the BB and the success with regard to the
temperature environmental A to leave from the 20/30 days already
they can dispense with the fountain of heat, the one that goes
removing in progressive form during the day, maintaining it during
The nights; parallel goes them offering greater space.
In this period of the breeding there are three basic factors:
The environmental temperature, the ventilation and the hygiene. The
Turquey chickens, after this period, can be servants in
mixed flocks (so much of sex as of race), to the 2 years of age, therefore not there is competence neither sexual activity. This
phase will be done in agreement with the number of animals in
galpones avícolas, with good renewable beds, or in
jaulones with floor of wire, so that in the phase of development not they have direct contact with their excrements.
A similar behavior they have the adults out of the epoch
of zeal or reproduction, where is a spectacle
dazzling to admire to the male that they walk loose in
parks, forests or gardens, with their fulgurantes and
contrapuestos colors, doing gala of all its
Attributes.
