Within 24 hours after hatching, ducklings must be fed with water before feeding. During the feeding period, ducklings need to pay attention to diet, this period is the growth period, food intake increases, feed collocation can be appropriately reduced concentrate and thicker. During the fattening period, some cereal feeds such as rice and corn can be added according to the situation.
