How to raise wild ducks

Wild duck is a kind of waterbird with high economic value. It is widely raised because of its miscellaneous food habits and strong adaptability. How to raise wild duck?

1. Site selection and construction

Wild ducks like water, so when selecting land, try to choose places with plenty of clean water around to build houses, such as reservoirs, mountain ponds and so on. Then set up a good rest room, sports ground, brooding room, etc., in which the brooding room can be divided into two square meters of small compartments, each compartment can raise about 70 ducklings. Then do a good job of heat preservation measures, to often observe the growth of wild ducks to prevent the phenomenon of extrusion and accumulation.

2. Breeding

Choose ducks that have grown to about two months as breeding ducks, then put them into the house according to the distance between male and female at 1:6, and spread out bedding for them to breed. Finally, the breeder ducks are put into the laying area to hatch, and after successful hatching, the ducklings are put into the rearing room, and the bedding in the rearing room should be changed regularly to ensure that the bedding is dry. Then adjust the breeding density after about 7 days, and slowly grow up with the passage of time and raise it together.

3. Daily management

(1) release water frequently: wild ducks like water very much, especially ducklings, so we must do a good job of releasing water. Generally speaking, the ducklings can be released after they have grown for about a week. The frequency and time of releasing water should be adjusted reasonably according to the age and environmental temperature of wild ducks. After releasing water, the feathers should be dried before you can rush back to the duck house to prevent the bedding from getting wet.

(2) fence: after about two months, the wings of the ducklings have gradually taken shape and gradually learned to fly. At this time, we should pay attention to check whether the block around the duck house is complete, to prevent flying away, the height is controlled at about two meters, easy to manage and capture.

(3) Disease prevention and control: the common diseases of wild ducks are blight, aspergillosis and so on. The prevention and treatment of the disease is mainly based on prevention and should not be mixed with other poultry in the duck house. Do not feed moldy and deteriorated feed to prevent wild ducks from food poisoning. Honeysuckle and other medicinal materials can be added to the feed to improve the disease resistance of wild ducks. Then we should pay attention to regular disinfection of the duck house to improve the permeability of the house. According to the process to do a good job of immunization vaccine work, do a good job in the prevention of various epidemics. After the occurrence of abnormal situation, find out the cause in time, and then carry on the symptomatic treatment.

Generally speaking, wild ducks are easy to raise, as long as the site is selected and built, and then male and female breeder ducks are selected and put into the house at the rate of 1:6 for breeding. After successful hatching, you can do a good job in temperature, feeding, disease prevention and other management.
