What are the precautions for raising ducks in spring? Is it expensive to raise ducks?

Is it expensive to raise ducks? Do you make money by raising ducks in 2017? According to the data provided by the Information Center of the Ministry of Agriculture, the annual output value of China's duck products has been close to 30 billion yuan, and the products are exported to the European Union, Southeast Asia, Japan, South Korea and other countries and regions. Duck farming has become one of the pillar industries to increase economic income in China's rural areas.

There are also many kinds of egg ducks in our country, such as Putian duck, Shaoxing duck and Jinding duck. At the age of 500 days, they lay 250 eggs and 280 eggs, each egg weighs 62 to 70 grams, and the survival rate of ducklings at the age of 100 days is more than 93%. Its production potential is in the leading level. It can be said that the duck industry has great potential.

Matters needing attention in raising ducks in spring

According to the season, ducks are divided into three types: head water duck, summer water duck and autumn water duck. Generally speaking, it is better to raise head water ducks, followed by summer water ducks and autumn water ducks.

Raising ducks in spring makes money, and raising ducks in summer pays off the capital. Ducklings are difficult to raise in spring, and the main problems in brooding are unstable temperature, frequent cold waves and too much Rain Water. However, ducklings hatched in spring will not have a big problem as long as they pay attention to keeping warm and damp and strengthen feeding and management.

Head ducks are usually raised during the Qingming Festival to Grain Rain. After the ducklings came out of their shell and fed in the house for seven or eight days, they rushed to the newly ploughed fertilizer fields, rape fields, broad bean fields and green manure fields, where they were allowed to eat natural animal feed such as small fish, shrimp, Loach, earthworms, rice field eels and insects.

When the early rice is harvested, the egg-type female duck will begin to lay eggs, and the male duck can be put on the market. For both egg and meat ducks, we can make use of the good opportunity of falling valleys and worms in the field during crop harvest to fatten and sell them.

Special attention should be paid to vitamin An in raising ducklings in spring. Generally speaking, ducklings within 50 days of age and laying ducks are easy to lack in spring. The growth and development of ducks with vitamin A deficiency were obviously hindered, and the weight gain was slow or even stopped. The common manifestations are burnout, weakness, emaciation, dishevelled feathers, viscous fluid from nostrils, dyspnea, weakness in movement, hobbling in walking, soft paralysis, yellow lighter beak and other symptoms.

Seriously ill ducks shed tears on one side or both eyes, and there are cheese-like secretions under the eyelids, corneal haze and softening, resulting in corneal perforation and anterior chamber fluid outflow; in severe cases, eyeball sagging, blindness, and even death. The egg production of diseased ducks decreased significantly, the color of egg yolk became lighter, the hatching rate was low, and the stillbirth rate increased.

The main causes of vitamin A deficiency in ducklings are single feed and insufficient green feed for ducklings raised in spring, improper feed processing and storage, oxidation and rancidity, and environmental stress factors for breeding. increased the demand for vitamin An in ducklings; lack of vitamin An in the diet of breeder ducklings, resulting in vitamin A deficiency in ducklings around 10 days old.

Raising ducks in spring should be fed with feed containing vitamin A, such as spinach, pumpkin, carrots and cod liver oil. It is necessary to do a good job in the transportation, storage and storage of feed.

Sick ducks can be treated with cod liver oil, each 3 times a day, 0.2-0.5 ml each time. Or add 1000-1500 international units of vitamin A per kilogram to the feed. 0.5ml cod liver oil can be injected intramuscularly to individual sick ducklings. Breeder ducks were fed with cod liver oil 1ml~1.5ml three times a day, and the curative effect was significant.

Is it expensive to raise ducks?

Suppose 5 sheds are built, and about 2000 animals are raised in each shed:

1. Cost calculation

1 mu of land = 667m2, the practical area of culture is calculated with 570m ~ 2, the suitable culture density is 7 / m2, each mu can breed 570m2 × 7m / m2 = 3990, and the rent per mu is 200RMB. The fifth shed needs 2.5 mu of land, totaling 500 yuan.

Taking into account the implementation of more road construction and environmental clean construction than ordinary farmers, the construction fee per shed amounts to 40000 yuan. 5 shed × 40000 yuan = 200000.

Due to the need for low light lighting, 10W × 24:00 × 18 lamps / shed × 5 shed × 10-month culture period × 0.8 yuan / kWh / 1000 (1 kWh = 1000W) = 5184 yuan.

Ten thousand duck seedlings × 3 yuan per duck = 30,000 yuan.

Feed generally accounts for 60% of the cost of raising ducks, 235500 / 40 × 60 = 353250.

The total cost is about 588934.

2. Profit from raising ducks:

In terms of manpower: consider 3 workers, 1000 yuan × 3 × 10 months = 30, 000 yuan, 2 management and technical personnel, 2 people × 2000 yuan × 12 months = 48000 yuan.

Risk: duck breeding is relatively simple in epidemic prevention, and the survival rate is also high. in the absence of a major epidemic, the main risk comes from market price changes, which requires in-depth exploration of the market and opening up the market.

Income analysis: the income of general circle farmers' duck eggs basically maintains the expenditure on feed epidemic prevention, so it is about 710000. The sale of live ducks ranges from 17 yuan to 25 yuan per duck, with an average of 20 yuan per duck, 10 000 yuan × 20 yuan per duck = 200000.

Profit analysis: in the current situation, except for the first year, there is a slight loss: [350000 (egg harvest) + 200000 (live duck income)-350000 (feed expenditure)-200000 (shed expenditure)-5500 (land rent and water and electricity)-78000 wages =-83500]. The conservative profit is 116500 if the expenditure on building the shed is saved in the second year. In addition, in the construction of shed procurement, feed procurement, taking into account the centralized batch procurement of profit points can be explored. Personnel with small tasks can be deployed, and the utilization rate of workers can also be increased and wages can be reduced.

The price is only for reference, and the labor and venue prices vary from place to place, so the above analysis and calculation of the cost and profit of raising ducks can be calculated according to the local market conditions such as duck breeds, feed, greenhouse construction, and so on. the data obtained are more accurate and can also make entrepreneurs more clear about their breeding goals.
