A complete collection of wild duck breeding

Wild duck is a typical representative of waterfowl, which has strong adaptability, wide diet, tolerance to rough feeding and easy to raise. Under the good nutrition and feeding management, the growth speed is fast, the feed reward is high, the following is the wild duck feeding method carefully arranged for you by the editor, let's take a look.

Feeding method of wild duck

I. production performance of wild ducks

Wild duck is domesticated from natural wild ducks. it is a new type of breeding breed with strong disease resistance and excellent production performance. at the age of 10 weeks, the live weight of commercial ducks is 1150-1300g, the feed-to-meat ratio is 4.5, the live weight is 1300g-1450 grams at 12 weeks, and the feed-meat ratio is 5.7l. at the age of 12-week-old, the survival rate is 96.98%.

2. Feeding and management

1. Brooding

The main results are as follows: (1) the method of raising chicks in cage is adopted, and the bottom of the cage is set up with 40-60 cm bracket.

(2) the temperature was 3330 ℃ in the previous week, and then decreased by 23.0 ℃ to de-temperature every week.

(3) humidity. Keep it at 60% and 65%.

(4) Light, keep light for 24 hours at the age of 1-3 days, and then keep it for 18 hours.

(5) density. The density per square meter was 20-30 at the age of 1 week, 15-20 at the age of 2 weeks, 10-15 at the age of 3 weeks, 6-10 at the age of 4 weeks, and 4 at the later stage.

(6) feeding. 9 grams at 1 day old, 13 grams at 2 days old, 18 grams at 3 days old, 22 grams at 4 days old, 24 grams at 5 days old, 26 grams at 6 days old, 28 grams at 7 days old, 44 grams at 2 weeks old. day.

two。 Feeding and management during the breeding period

The breeding period refers to the period from 15 to 84 days old when commercial ducks are slaughtered and put on the market, during which the consumption of commercial ducks is 77.5 kg. In management, it can be transferred to the breeding house and bred in the form of ground mat grass. The bedding grass must be dry, soft and changed regularly, the feed should be kept at full nutritional price, and an appropriate amount of dried grass powder should be added to the feed to ensure the content of crude fiber in the feed and promote the development of digestive organs of ducklings to maintain the sinking digestive function.

Mallard ducks are in the moulting period at the age of 71-84 days. Poor management at this stage will lead to growth stagnation of commercial ducks, affecting market age and carcass quality, so the management can not be relaxed. First of all, it is necessary to ensure that the temperature of the duck house does not change much, which is generally controlled at 13-24 ℃. Secondly, it is necessary to ensure the content of protein in the diet, especially the content of sulfur amino acids in protein, and thirdly, to ensure the concentration of metal ions related to feather growth, such as copper, zinc, manganese, iron, etc.

With the growth of age and the completion of moulting, the escape characteristics of wild ducks become more and more obvious, so duck houses and outdoor sports grounds should be covered with nylon nets to prevent wild ducks from escaping.

Feeding and management techniques of wild ducks

(a) feeding and management of ducklings ducklings are ducklings at the age of 1-40 days after shell. Ducklings have few feathers, weak physique, poor thermoregulation ability, sensitive to external temperature changes, and need artificial heat preservation. The young ducklings have imperfect digestive organs, poor digestive ability and fast growth. The birth weight is about 35 grams, 100 grams at 10 days old, more than 200 grams at 20 days old and 750 grams at 40 days old. In view of its physiological characteristics, combined with the living habits of wild ducks, the following work should be done in the feeding and management of ducklings.

1. Keep warm.

Heat preservation is the key to the success or failure of wild duck brooding. Among them, 0-14-day-old ducklings are more sensitive to temperature. Therefore, it is necessary to enter the nursery for heat preservation: 34,33 ℃ at the age of 3 days, 32 ℃ at the age of 7 days, 30 ℃ at the age of 14 days, 28 ℃ at the age of 20 days. We should guard against the wind of thieves. When the weather is colder, the incubation time of brooding should be extended by several days accordingly. In the whole stage of heat preservation and brooding, special people should be on duty during the day and night to prevent the temperature from rising and falling, and to strictly prevent ducklings from piling up and squeezing. Because ducklings have the habit of sleeping with each other, they should be dispersed in time to avoid being crushed to death.

two。 Divide into groups.

3. Raising wild ducks of different sizes can not only prevent the strong and small from being bullied, ensure the balanced growth of the ducks, but also facilitate the special care for the weak chicks. Brooding should be raised in small groups, with a flock of 50 ducklings. With the increase of age, the ducks are gradually merged and raised in large groups, in order to meet the characteristics of wild ducks living in groups, so as to reduce the workload of feeding and management.

Pay attention to the density of brooding. In the early stage of brooding, the feeding density should be 20 / 25 per square meter, and in the later stage, it should be reduced to 15 / 20, so as to avoid the death of ducklings due to extrusion and overcome the imbalance of growth among different individuals in the duck flock.

3. Feed.

The method of drinking water before eating is generally adopted. After the duckling comes out of its shell, it is very important to drink water within 24 hours. As the ducklings emit more water in the process of hatching, the newly hatched ducklings must be replenished in time, which is not only conducive to maintaining the water balance in the ducklings, but also conducive to the elimination of meconium. In the mallard brooding stage, clean drinking water should be fully supplied to ensure continuous water supply. The drinking fountain should not be too large, the edge should not be too high and too deep, to prevent ducklings from drowning or dampening feathers to form pile-up extrusion damage. When the ducklings have feeding requirements, you can start to eat, feed rice, press 500 grams / 200, the rice needs to be soaked in water to remove stickiness. On the second day, 1 kilogram of rice was mixed with 50 grams of bean cake, and on the third day, 1 kilogram of rice was mixed with about 1 gram of formula feed, and then gradually increased formula feed to complete the process of food exchange. The feeding method is to feed less and more meals, once every 2 to 3 hours, each time the feed is not left over, and it is appropriate for the whole group to eat. After 7 days of age, you can feed some green feed and animal feed, with the increase of age, the number of daily feeding decreases, and keep feeding 4 times a day in the later stage of brooding.

4. Release the water.

Wild ducks have the habit of liking water, so they should release water at the right time. The newly hatched ducklings cannot release water, but when their feathers dry, they can spray fine mist on their bodies so that the ducklings can arrange their own feathers. The mallard ducklings hatched by female ducks can be led by the female ducklings to play in the water on the 3rd day after hatching, while the ducklings hatched by domestic chickens can be put off for a few days. Artificially hatched ducklings should be released at the age of 10 days, so that they can have a process of adaptation and exercise.

Discharge method: put the ducklings in the small pool or shallow basin in the nursery room to swim in the water, each time should not be too long, generally 3-5 minutes, but the number of times of water release can be gradually increased from once a day. Ducklings must be taken care of for the first time to prevent drowning. Starting at the age of 25, ducklings can be released to Yaping and water sports ground after 10:00 on a sunny day for adaptive exercise, and after 30 days of age, ducklings are allowed to move freely in duck ping and water to meet their wild water-loving needs. After each release of water, the ducklings must wait for their feathers to be dried before they can enter the shed so as not to wet the bedding.

5. Others.

(1) keeping the duck house clean and dry, keeping the air fresh, clearing feces and changing bedding grass frequently are necessary measures to ensure the healthy growth of ducklings. At the same time, do a good job of hygiene and epidemic prevention, do a good job of disinfection at any time, utensils and the floor of the house are disinfected with 20% lime water or 2% caustic soda every 10 days or so, in order to prevent the occurrence of various diseases. Pay special attention to aspergillosis in the rainy season. In addition, strictly guard against animal pests, such as weasels, domestic rats, voles and wild cats.

(2) breeding, feeding and management of wild ducks refers to ducks of 40 to 80 days old. The breeding stage of wild duck mainly grows feathers, muscles and bones, which is the period of fastest growth and development, and the average daily weight gain of each duck is the largest. At the age of 40 days, the feathers were basically completed, and only a little fluff was left behind the head. Under the good level of nutrition and management, the peak of weight growth can be reached at the age of 60 days.

1. Divide into groups.

Before the wild duck is transferred from the brooding stage to the mature stage, it should be selected and grouped according to its physical strength and size, so as to eliminate a very few seriously disabled individuals. Feeding and management in groups of strong and weak can promote the balanced growth of individuals in the same group, otherwise, the differences between individuals will gradually increase, which will not only cause difficulties to feeding and management, but also lead to feed waste, resulting in increased production costs and reduced economic benefits.

two。 Feed.

3. Wild ducks at this stage grow fast and consume a lot of food, so they need rich nutrients to meet their growth and development. Therefore, feed 3 times a day, the powder needs to add water mixed with wet feeding, and equipped with clean drinking water, in order to prevent choking to death. The daily feed consumption of each wild duck can be determined by using "day age + 10 = daily feed (g / per duck)", which can be increased or decreased according to the specific situation. At this stage, wild ducks have a significant increase in appetite and digestibility and tolerance to rough feeding, which can reduce concentrate feeds such as cereals and animal feed, and appropriately increase bran, aquatic plants and green feed to adapt to their wild diet, but there can be no lack of minerals and vitamins. Especially at the age of 40-60 days, restricted feeding should be carried out, that is, properly reducing protein and energy feed and increasing roughage such as bran, aquatic plants and green fodder, so that the wild attack of ducks can be postponed and alleviated, which can not only reduce the resulting loss, but also save feed. Otherwise, the wild duck's body fat accumulates rapidly, stimulating its flying wildness, which is what the masses refer to as the "noisy shed". The main manifestation of the "quarrel shed" is that the ducks are neurotic, disturbed and uneasy, seem to have no hunger, and their food intake decreases sharply, reducing about 60% to 70% of their daily feed intake, resulting in weight loss. If stress occurs, it can also stimulate the "quarrel shed".

In the breeding stage, the feed should be changed many times, but it should be carried out gradually, and the feed should not be changed suddenly.

Wild ducks had better be fed outdoors to keep the duck house clean and hygienic. Generally feed 3 to 4 times a day, the amount of feeding must ensure that each duck can eat, and there is no leftover food. If grazing, feed the duck half full before grazing every day, and try to prolong the grazing time so that it can eat more food. After grazing, according to the situation of feeding, decide whether to supplement feeding and the amount of supplementary feeding.

3. Fattening.

Wild ducks are generally fattened around the age of 65, which is to artificially force wild ducks to swallow a large amount of high-energy feed to quickly gain weight and accumulate fat in a short period of time. Generally after 15 days of filling and feeding, before and after 80 days of age, the average body weight of more than 1 kg can be sold on the market. Filling and feeding method: use duck feed formula, mix feed with appropriate amount of boiled water to make dough, or rub it into small balls. When filling and feeding, gently catch the duck, clamp the lower part of the duck body with two legs, hold the wild duck's upper palate with the left thumb and index finger, press the front part of the tongue with the middle finger, hold the lower beak shell with the other 2 fingers, and feed the duck beak with the right hand until it is full. Feed 4 times a day, twice during the day and twice at night. Don't be too full in the first few days of filling, so as not to cause food stagnation, and then increase the feeding amount day by day after the wild duck is used to it. After filling and feeding, to ensure adequate drinking water, in addition to ensuring half an hour of water bath time for fattening ducks every day, try to reduce exercise.

4. Administration and Management.

The appropriate feeding density of wild ducks in the breeding period is 1015 ducks per square meter. At this stage, mallard ducks are easy to raise, familiar with and docile to the breeders who often go to the house for feeding, and often follow the demand for food. If the number of groups is large, keep the house dry at all times. Bred wild ducks eat a large amount of food and increase their feces, so they should be washed in time in order to maintain a clean environment for group life. Secondly, we should pay attention to the sudden change of weather temperature, and in the early stage of breeding, we should consider the emergency treatment of heat preservation, such as adding plastic cloth, grass mat and other measures to prevent wild ducks from getting cold and causing losses. In summer, wild ducks should be fully bathed and cooled down, and a shady shed should be built in the playground to prevent heat. In addition, adhere to the daily work procedure, carry out fecal removal, cleaning, disinfection, observe the growth and development of wild ducks, drinking water, food intake changes, fecal color and shape, make production records and so on.
