Points for Attention in Raising Duck in Rice Field

Rice field ducks have a wide range of activities, eat more omnivorous foods, have good coat color, strong limbs and good market; they often eat harmful insects, reduce the pests of rice, reduce the cost of pesticides, and produce pollution-free rice and duck meat. The formed duck manure fertilizer field can promote the growth of rice, save the chemical fertilizer cost of rice planting about 60 yuan per mu, and increase the income of rice by 30 yuan. The economic and ecological benefits are remarkable.

Brooding stage

Farmers should pay great attention to the control of temperature and humidity, immune procedures are all in place, and fed full-price formula feed, the breeding rate of ducklings is very high. After 1 month old, it was mainly stocked in paddy fields, and the concentrate was fed properly at night. After careful breeding, good results have been achieved.

Preparation in advance

After transplanting rice seedlings, surround the rice fields to prevent weasels, cats and dogs from entering. And build a simple habitat for ducks in a corner of the rice field to prevent strong light and torrential rain.

Duck breed selection

In order to prevent ducks from eating seedlings and pressing seedlings, smaller ducks can be selected for rice field breeding. If there are conditions, we can choose the hybrid of wild duck and domestic duck, the breeding effect is better.

Stocking time

After transplanting seedlings for 1-2 weeks, ducklings at the age of 1-2 weeks can be put into rice fields for breeding. Ducks live in rice fields all the time, day and night. In addition, because ducks like to eat rice ears, the duck should be recovered from the rice field in time when the rice is heading.

Stocking density

In the early stage, there were 6 ducklings per mu of rice field and 7 ducklings per mu of rice field in the later stage.

Discharge depth

The depth of the water body in the paddy field is that the duck foot can just touch the soil, so that the duck can fully step on the soil in the process of activity, and the water body in the paddy field gradually deepens with the growth of the duck.

Supplementary feeding

In order to provide supplementary nutrition to ducks and speed up the growth rate of ducks, ducks are generally fed with auxiliary feed once a day, mainly with chopped rice, rice bran and wheat, or with a mixture of corn and fish meal.

Generally, ducks should be put into rice fields for breeding in sunny weather, and ducks should be taken back in time to prevent poisoning when using medicine in rice fields. Rice and duck, which grow and develop in paddy fields, become natural ecosystems that promote each other. Continuous feeding and trampling of ducks can reduce weeds in rice fields, and feed on pests such as planthoppers, leafhoppers and various borer moths, as well as small aquatic animals, which not only reduce the harm of weeds, pests and small animals to the growth of rice, but also supplement ducks with some high-quality fodder. the feces discharged by ducks provide a large amount of organic fertilizer for rice and promote the growth of rice.
