Thermal insulation management of ducklings

Temperature is the main technical measure to cultivate ducklings. Only when the temperature is suitable, the body heat consumption of ducklings is low, the growth and development is fast, and the survival rate is high. 1-3 days old 32-34 ℃, 4-6 days 28-30 ℃, 7-10 days 24-26 ℃, 11-13 days 20-22 ℃. The temperature decreases gradually, and the daily temperature change is less than 2 ℃. Under different climatic conditions, the heating or cooling should be based on the behavior of ducklings, and try to meet the best temperature requirements of ducklings.

For example, when the temperature is too low, the ducklings are afraid of the cold and gather close to the heat source to warm each other, often causing crush or suffocation; when the temperature is too high, the ducklings are far away from the heat source, gasping for breath, and drinking water increases; when the temperature is normal, the ducklings are energetic, lively, good appetite, moderate drinking water, bright fluff, stretching legs, uniform distribution, lying silent, eating, drinking and excreting normally.
