How can ducks be raised to make money in 2017?

With the gradual development of the aquaculture industry, duck meat with zero pollution is becoming more and more popular among urban people, but for farmers, how to use low cost to earn high efficiency is the most concerned issue for farmers. How can ducks be raised to make money in 2017?

Raising duck in rice field is an extensive way of raising, and in the mode of symbiotic cultivation of rice and duck, raising duck is only an auxiliary industry in the production of green and high quality rice, which mainly plays a role in biological control. Therefore, when selecting duck breeds, we should focus on the small and medium-sized varieties with strong vitality, wide adaptability, rough feeding tolerance and strong stress resistance. It is recommended to raise both egg and meat breeds such as Jian Red Duck and Sesame Duck.

Jian red duck

Ji'an red duck has a short round body and a thick neck. The male duck is of medium size, compact, wide chest and well-developed chest muscles. The female duck is Taoyuan and Feng Che with prominent eyes, bright eyes and well-developed chest muscles. It has stable genetic performance, good production performance, rough feeding resistance, strong foraging ability, tender meat, high lean meat rate, and feather growth is synchronized with body weight growth. it is a high quality raw material for processing salted duck. According to the rural investigation, it is mainly grazing, feeding for 80-90 days, the body weight can reach 1000-1150 grams, during which the rice is fed with 3-4kg, fattening in the salted duck factory for 28 days, the body weight is 1350-1400 grams (4kg consumption of rice), which meets the processing requirements of salted duck. The red duck has a laying rate of 5% at the age of 112d, 134d and 186d, respectively. The average weight of the adult female duck is 1450 g. The duck is suitable for various ways of raising in the rural areas of our province.

Shan Ma Duck

Shanma duck, which originated in Longyan area of Fujian Province, is one of the excellent egg duck breeds in China. The male duck has a wide chest and a wide back and a long body. Beak yellowish green, iridescent brown. The shins and flippers are orange-red, the back feathers are grayish brown, and the abdomen is grayish white. The female duck has a slender, symmetrical and compact body, with a torso at more than 450 angles to the ground when standing and walking, a small head, a bronzed beak, an iridescent brown beak, orange-red shins and flippers, and a full-body hemp-brown. According to the provincial animal husbandry and veterinary research institute, the average birth weight of male and female ducks is 42.78g, 4 weeks weight 553.10 grams, 90-day-old weight 1330 grams, 72-week-old (504 days old) weight 1515 grams. Adult male ducks weigh 1300 grams and adult female ducks weigh 1500 grams. The female duck is about 120 days old and lays 280-300 eggs at 500 days old. Shan Ma duck has the advantages of early production, high egg production and wide adaptability, so it is suitable for breeding in various ways in rural areas.

Feeding and management

The feeding and management of ducklings is commonly known as raising ducklings, which is a very important basic stage of raising ducklings. Therefore, it is necessary to manage scientifically to create suitable temperature, humidity, air, light, nutrition and clean and quiet environment for ducklings, so as to minimize the impact of bad stress.

Duckling selection

The brooding season should be carefully considered, especially the rice-duck symbiotic model, and the best brooding season should be selected to achieve the best production effect and economic benefits. Rice-duck symbiotic duck seedlings are mainly spring and summer chicks, autumn chicks and winter chicks do not make a choice.

1. Spring chicks

Refers to ducklings hatched from March to May. In spring, the climate is gradually warmer and sunny, which is beneficial to the growth of ducklings, and the survival rate and health rate are high. in the middle duck stage, due to the suitable temperature, long outdoor activity time, good physique and fast growth and weight gain. Spring chicks should be selected for rice-duck symbiotic duck seedlings, and the end of brooding should be linked up with rice planting. However, spring chicks should pay attention to doing a good job of heat preservation, and it is rainy and humid in spring, the climate is changeable, diseases are easy to invade, and during the breeding period in hot summer, it is necessary to do a good job of preventing heat and shading, so the management must be careful and conscientious. all aspects of work should be done fully and perfectly.

2. Summer chicks

Refers to ducklings hatched from June to August. At this time, high temperature and humidity, poor appetite of ducklings, affected growth and development, low productivity of adult birds, and a large workload of heat prevention and dampness reduction. However, summer chicks generally do not need heating and heat preservation, as long as meat commercial ducks do a good job in preventing heat, the feeding cost will not be very high.

3. Autumn chicks and winter chicks

Autumn chicks refer to ducklings hatched from September to October. Winter chicks refer to ducklings hatched from November to December. It is not suitable for rice planting in season.

Brooding mode

According to the specific conditions of the existing duck house, a variety of brooding methods can be adopted. According to the specific situation of raising ducks in rice fields, we should concentrate on raising chicks, and then disperse to graze in the fields. Introduce several of these ways:

1. Brooding on the flat ground

That is, directly spread thick bedding materials on the duck house floor, such as shavings, coarse wood, dry grass, dry sand, etc., raise chicks on them, clean and change bedding materials regularly to keep them clean and dry, this method is simple and easy, the cost is not high, but it is not easy to control the disease, and the effect of brooding is average.

2. Half-ground and half-net brooding

That is to say, the duck house 1gam3 ground is laid off the ground net surface, in addition, the ground does not lay a net, only bedding material. All drinking water is placed on the Internet so that the floor of the house is kept dry. Note that the slope of the slope must be less than 250. The cost of this method is moderate, and it is beneficial to cleaning, and the effect is ideal, so it is more commonly used.

3. Brooding in cartons

Use ordinary larger cardboard boxes to keep ducklings in them. This method does not need heat source to supply temperature in warm weather, and can raise chicks by self-heating, which greatly reduces the cost of heat preservation, and is simple and easy, and the investment is small. However, attention should be paid to keeping dry, hygienic and ventilated, and holes are often drilled in the paper wall for ventilation. As the ducklings grow up, some ducklings are gradually removed to other cardboard boxes or nurseries, so that the feeding density is moderate and the temperature is gradually de-heated. Therefore, the method is greatly affected by the weather, the work is complicated, and the number of brooding is limited, so it is suitable for small-scale breeding.
