Management techniques of duckling breeding

With the development of modern aquaculture, farmers are facing many problems that they have never encountered before. Such as investment, selection, location, construction, etc., often funds and other material conditions are relatively easy to prepare, and the lack of technology has become a great difficulty in front of farmers. It also makes some friends who are eager to become farmers give up their thoughts because of the lack of technology. This article will introduce the problems in the process of raising ducks. It may not be authoritative enough, but it is also the result of the experience of many successful farmers.

Preparatory work

Raising ducks is mainly grazing, ducks are often mobile, and simple sheds can be built. There should be a water surface outside the duck house so that the duck can be put into the water. The floor is covered with clean bedding grass. Prepare necessary equipment for raising ducks, such as small boats, duck poles, horse lanterns, plastic sheets for feeding, wooden pots, etc.

Brooding

Feeding and managing ducklings are mainly through self-heating, and general heat preservation appliances for raising chicks can also be used. The duckling begins to eat 14 to 24 hours after it comes out of its shell. The experience of some people before feeding is to put the ducklings in the bamboo basket and gently press them into the water to immerse the duck feet in the water. Stimulated by the water, the ducklings will become active, drinking and active at the same time, making them physically excited. Then feed them with brown rice or chopped rice that has been cooked and soaked. In the future, each feeding should first let the duck into the water, which can promote the metabolism of the duck.

Raising and grazing

The ducklings were fed 6-7 times a day before 10-day-old, but decreased to 4-5 times after 10-day-old. After feeding, it is best to check the duck's esophagus to see if it is full, and pick out and feed the ducklings that are not full, so as to avoid the inconsistent growth and size of the ducklings. Live food should be added to the feed of ducklings, such as eel, snail, oyster, etc., which can be chopped, mashed and mixed in the feed. Pay attention to keep the duck house and bedding grass dry and clean.

After the duckling is 5 days old, the duckling can catch up with its launching activities, and gradually increase the activity time. After 10-12 days of age, you can start grazing, the time of grazing should be from short to long, and the location should be from near to far. Generally speaking, ducks are herded in a group of 600 to 1000 ducks and grazed by 3 to 4 people. Duckling habits like to rush forward, there should be a person in front of the team, with a duck pole to control the front few, the ducks behind will follow slowly forward. Those who follow should prevent the ducks from getting separated.

After starting grazing, we should pay attention to the training of the ducks and gradually domesticate the ducks into the habit of listening to the sound of people's shouts. Ducklings should be aware of the pasture conditions when grazing, and should not graze in places where pesticides, chemical fertilizers and rotten animals have just been applied. At noon in the hot season, we should pay attention to the summer, and drive the duckling back before the thunderstorm. At the same time, according to the amount of natural feed and the feeding situation of ducklings, we should feed some feed appropriately after grazing every day.

The duckling feathers are born in yellow or black feathers when they come out of their shells. After a change of feathers, the feathers become pale and white, and then the ducklings begin to bear feathers. Feather growth is regular, we can observe whether the growth and development of ducklings is normal, and decide which corresponding management measures should be taken, which is also an experience created by the working people in our country in the long-term production practice.

The basic experience of raising ducklings is called duck yellow when they first come out of their shell. At this time, the body is still relatively young, the ability to adapt to external environmental conditions is relatively poor, and appropriate heat preservation is needed. And the food intake is relatively small, and the ability of digestion, absorption and transformation of nutrients is also relatively poor, so it is necessary to give some feed with good nutrition and easy digestion. This stage is mainly the stage of long bones, feathers and internal organs, with less accumulation of muscle and fat. Then enter the growth period, if there are conditions, you can feed more, feed well, to promote its rapid growth. If the conditions are not enough and there is a lack of good pastures, you can also procrastinate appropriately and hang up the shelves, but delaying does not mean stopping. If it exceeds the limit, it will become ossified and become "old duck" (big head, underdeveloped body, like a stiff pig, it is not easy to grow up). The next stage is the fat duck period, when the ducks have basically grown up and turned into a period of massive muscle proliferation and fat accumulation. At this time, we must seize the favorable opportunity to feed the feet and put them on the market as early as possible. In short, ducklings should be "protected", ducklings can be "promoted" if there are conditions, and ducklings can be "dragged" appropriately without conditions, but to prevent "aging", fat ducks should seize the time to "breed". This is the basic experience of raising ducklings (meat ducks). There is also a key point, in the process of brooding, the addition of brooding drugs is also essential. For example, the young health produced by HSBC is a good brooding drug. It can effectively treat chicken omphalitis caused by salmonella and Escherichia coli, poor navel healing, pericardial effusion, ascites, perihepatic inflammation, balloon inflammation, etc., improve can promote yolk absorption, anti-stress, prevention and treatment of malnutrition, dehydration and incomplete development. Improve the survival rate and promote growth and development.
