Egg duck breeding technology detailed explanation: lighting requirements are critical!

When it comes to the breeding techniques of egg ducks, first of all, we have to understand the concept of egg ducks. Generally speaking, during the period from the beginning of laying duck eggs to the elimination of duck eggs, they are all called egg ducks. Laying ducks have higher requirements for the environment than ordinary ducks, and they need to grow and lay eggs under suitable light and temperature. So what is the specific breeding technique of laying duck? Let's take a look.

Breeding techniques of Egg Duck

Due to the change of market demand, egg ducks are in short supply in many areas, so more and more farmers begin to raise egg ducks. Here, the editor summarizes the characteristics of their farming techniques:

1. Environmental requirements

1.1 Egg ducks have special requirements for the environment because they lay eggs at one or two o'clock in the morning and cannot be disturbed by any man-made or natural factors. If the living environment of egg ducks stops lighting at this time, or there is a sudden power outage or man-made noise, it is possible to cause panic among ducks and cause adverse consequences.

1.2 Egg ducks are very sensitive to man-made movements. Except during the laying period, the usual diet and environment also hope that everyone can maintain a relatively stable state, do not let strangers go in and out of the farm at will, and observe more the movement around them. All kinds of birds and animals jump up and down as far as possible to avoid, it is very important for egg ducks to create a strong sense of security environment.

2. Lighting requirements

1.1 the light time of laying ducks determines the size and number of eggs laid, which is closely related. Light is mainly used to cultivate ovulation of laying ducks. during the breeding period of laying ducks, reasonable control of light time can prevent some young ducks from precocious egg laying. According to the growth trajectory of laying ducks, in the coming laying period, it is necessary to slowly increase the light market and intensity in order to promote ovarian development.

1.2 the choice of light bulbs is not recommended to eat large light bulbs, which will lead to uneven light distribution and very power consumption. Each light bulb needs to be wiped with a dry cloth every half a month to wipe off the dust and keep it clean and hygienic so that the brightness can be maintained.

1.3 the real lighting effect takes time to display, usually about ten days to fully display, can not suddenly increase the light intensity, resulting in a sudden change in the environment.

3. Temperature requirement

The most suitable temperature for laying ducks is between 15 and 20 degrees Celsius. The quality of laying eggs can be guaranteed at this temperature, and the ducks are in the best condition, so we should try our best to create temperature conditions for laying ducks. When the temperature is low in winter, warm measures should be taken in advance to protect against wind and rain, raise the temperature of the duck house, and cool and ventilate the duck house when the temperature is higher in summer, so as to control the laying rate under a high standard.

4. Feed requirements

Laying duck eggs is continuous, the need for more nutrients naturally, feed is also the key. Feed can choose inorganic salts, a variety of vitamins and other high nutritional collocation. Duck eggs produced by good eating are naturally not bad, and good quality feed determines the standard of duck eggs.

This is the end of today's summary of egg duck breeding techniques. You can ponder over these four points that you need to pay attention to. Raising egg ducks will definitely cost more than ordinary ducks, but the return will also be greater.
