Comprehensive techniques of raising Egg Duck in Spring

Technical points of grazing egg ducks in spring:

First, choose a grazing site. In early spring, egg ducks can graze in shallow ponds, ditches and small harbours. When the spring ploughing and raking water sounds, they can graze in the rice fields where they are ploughed and ready to plant seedlings.

Second, careful grazing. The temperature in early spring is low, so it is appropriate to graze late and prolong the grazing time day by day. When grazing in the river, it is generally appropriate to go up against the current, and it is not suitable to graze in places where the water is too deep. When it is cold in spring, when it is windy, graze against the wind to prevent the duck feathers from losing too much heat and make the duck body catch cold. In addition, male ducks are extremely sexually active in spring, so we should pay attention to the ratio of male to female in the herd of ducks, so as not to affect the laying of eggs.

Third, feed should be replenished at the right time. The egg laying intensity of laying duck in spring is high, the amount of grazing and walking is also large, the volume of live food and green feed is large, the energy is low, and it is easy to digest. Therefore, feed should be replenished every day according to the number of eggs laid and the feeding condition of ducks. It is appropriate to replenish materials at 9: 00 am every night. The feed is mainly corn and rice in grain, accounting for 50% of the feed, followed by cake, which can account for 10% of the feed, and animal feed such as fish meal, which accounts for 10% of the feed, accounting for 15%, and then appropriately adding some mineral feed, accounting for about 1%.

Fourth, we should do a good job in disease prevention. With the rise of temperature in spring, a variety of harmful microorganisms began to multiply in large numbers, coupled with the poor physique of ducks during this period, all kinds of bacteria and parasites were easy to swoop in, so we must pay attention to the prevention and control of duck disease. Before the arrival of the peak production season, ducks should be vaccinated against plague and birds should be vaccinated once. Entering the peak period of peak production, in order to prevent white dysentery and diarrhea in laying ducks, 0.1% oxytetracycline calcium salt can be mixed in the feed.

"three measures" to make ducks lay more eggs in spring

Choose a good grazing site in early spring to graze ponds and ditches, allowing ducks to prey on fish and shrimp, Loach and aquatic animals. After spring ploughing, you can graze in a green fertilizer field that is ready to transplant seedlings after ploughing, which has more grass seeds, grass roots, earthworms, insects and so on. It is not suitable to graze in the field after transplanting, but to graze after the rice harvest.

1. Careful grazing. The temperature in early spring is on the low side, so it is appropriate to release it late, rush back early, and gradually prolong the grazing time. Attention should be paid to the water temperature when grazing, and the water and uphill should be slow. To make full use of river grazing, it is generally appropriate to go up against the current when grazing. At this time, there is enough physical strength to capture a lot of food. When it is windy, graze against the wind to avoid catching cold from the duck feathers caused by the wind. In the areas with more feed, the grazing of female ducks should be controlled so that they can fully feed on the spot. In the coming year, the mother duck is large and slow, likes to lie down after eating, and is easy to accumulate fat and affect egg laying, so it should be made as active as possible. In the peak laying season, male ducks have a strong sexual desire, so we should pay attention to the male-female ratio.

2. replenish the feed at the right time. During the peak laying season, the energy of live food and green feed for female ducks is relatively low, so they should be fed timely according to the number of eggs laid and the feeding condition of ducks.

3. Pay attention to observation. Take a look at your appetite. When feeding, if the ducks gather around quickly, you can feed more as appropriate. Second, look at feathers. The feathers are bright, indicating proper feeding. If the feathers are loose, fish meal and other concentrate feed should be added in time. Third, look at playing in the water. Duck water panic, climb ashore wings drooping, should be fed with concentrate and cod liver oil and so on. Four, look at the feces. The feces are white, indicating excessive animal feed and indigestion. Loose faeces indicate that feeding animal feed is more reasonable. Five, look at the laying time. Ducks lay eggs before 5 o'clock in the morning, which means they are properly fed. If the laying time is delayed and the eggs are getting smaller and smaller, concentrate should be fed quickly.

What you need to pay attention to when raising egg ducks in spring:

Pay attention to heat preservation

There will be occasional cold snap in spring, at the turn of spring and summer, the weather is changeable, there will be early hot weather, or continuous overcast and rain, measures should be taken according to the times, differential treatment, keep the duck house dry, ventilated, do a good job in cleaning and sanitation, and disinfect regularly. In case of cloudy and rainy days, the operating rules should be changed appropriately to shorten the duck release time. The bedding material in the house should not accumulate too thick, it should be cleared regularly, and the bedding grass should be disinfected in combination with each time.

Close the doors and windows

To prevent the attack of thieves, the north window must be blocked strictly. When the temperature is low, it is best to add a sandwich under the roof, or 2 meters from the ground, cross bamboo poles, covered with straw curtains or plastic sheeting to facilitate heat preservation.

Release late and close early

Release the duck late in the morning and close the duck in the evening to reduce the number of times and shorten the time of launching. When there is plenty of sunshine in the morning and afternoon, each take a bath for about 10 minutes.

Add enough feed

The temperature changes from cold to warm, and the sunshine increases, which is beneficial to egg laying. The feed should meet the needs of laying ducks in terms of quantity and quality, and the laying rate of excellent laying ducks in spring sometimes exceeds 100%.

Ensure the supply of green feed

Green fodder can be sprinkled on the surface of the water during the day and fed in the middle of the house in the evening. Green feed and concentrate each account for 50%. When there is a lack of green feed, eggs can be added with multi-dimensional replacement, the effect is very good.

Strict control at the end of spring

At this time, there is a mildew season, a little careless, prone to egg loss. The duck house should be well ventilated, change the mat grass frequently, keep the house dry, prevent feed mildew, and disinfect the duck house, material trough and drinking fountain regularly. On a sunny day, let the duck move more outside the house and get more exposure to the sun.
