How to raise young ducks

Ducks are widely raised in our country, and ducks are basically raised all over the country. And now the price of ducks on the market is higher than that of chickens. So how to raise young ducks?

First, how to raise young ducks

1. Duck house preparation

Because the physique of the duckling is very weak, we must take this into account when preparing the duck house, so we must make reasonable use of some places when building the duck house, so we can use the three-dimensional method of caging. To ensure that the duck house can be directly exposed to the sun, the exposure time should be sufficient, the drainage performance should be good, and ventilation should be maintained, and some cushions can be placed at the bottom of the duck house, which can have a good effect of heat preservation. Some experienced farmers will put some foam at the bottom, the warm effect of foam is very good, so it can also be used as bedding.

2. Duck seedling selection

If you want the duckling to have a higher survival rate, it is very important to choose a variety, so how to choose a high-quality variety? When we choose a variety, we can observe the feet of ducks, first check whether the feet are strong and smooth, eat and look in the eyes, etc., and then face here than to select some more robust ducklings, especially to pay attention to the disease, be sure to select some disease-free duck seedlings for breeding, the survival rate of good duck seedlings is also very high.

3. Temperature management

Because ducks are very afraid of the cold when they are first bought, they need a corresponding temperature at this time. At this time, the temperature of the duck house should be controlled in time. The temperature of the duck house should be controlled at a warm condition, at least about 30 degrees. And especially for some ducklings, they need strong light very much. Basically, the exposure time should be kept at more than 12 hours. So at this time, our daily light is far from enough, at this time, we have to use fluorescent lamps to meet the light of the ducklings, and the light can also play a good effect of keeping warm. wait until the duck grows so that the temperature of the duck house can be lowered slowly until it returns to the normal temperature.

4. Feed feeding

You must be careful in the process of breeding, especially when you are young, because ducks are very food-oriented and can eat some miscellaneous foods. So in the process of feeding, we can also add some vegetable leaves to the feed, which can also ensure that the ducklings are very healthy, and ducklings are not fussy about eating, because ducklings are relatively young, so they don't eat much and are very easy to digest. So when we feed, we don't need to feed too much, just feed a few more times a day.

In the process of feeding, there should be adequate water sources, and the water quality must be clean and free from pollution.
