Is there a problem? Hou Shuisheng, a researcher at the Beijing Institute of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine of the Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences, knows the breeding of meat ducks very well. He told the media that this 18-yuan roast duck, called white feather meat duck, can be made into Beijing roast duck and Cantonese roast duck after 40 days of breeding, while 18 small roast duck or crispy duck can be made after about 30 days of breeding.

Willing, of course, is worth encouraging, but also have to understand that the above costs are carried out under modern breeding conditions, if you want to do this business, we must start from technology, from the production circulation link to find ways to improve efficiency and reduce costs.
