Pine needles can be directly fed to chickens, but fresh ones are not a particularly good way, because fresh pine needles contain too much oil, and some things similar to pine leaves are called pine needles, which are very flammable when burned, but they are not suitable for feeding chickens at home when they are fresh, because although there are certain trace elements, the oil content is too high, so the farm basically prepares these things in autumn and winter.
After half a month's cool drying, the oiliness of these pine needles has basically evaporated, and the rest can be ground into powder or directly fed to chickens at home, because these pine needles are also rich in protein and trace elements, which can reduce the feed feeding cost and improve the laying rate of chickens, and are of great use to both broilers at home and chickens laying eggs. After all, these pine needles are all obtained in the wild, and there is basically no cost, just some labor.
When the scale of raising chickens in rural areas is relatively small, it is self-sufficient, that is, a few chickens in a family are enough, and there is no need to buy them from outside. However, when raising chickens on a large scale, they basically lay eggs and sell them to the market. In order to get more profits, farmers should naturally find ways to reduce costs, and using some wild vegetables and trees in the wild is a good way.
