The quality of high breed ducks

First of all, ducks with strong adaptability, high yield and in line with local conditions should be selected; secondly, young breeds and spring ducks should be raised as far as possible, because the older the age, the smaller the egg production, the better the development of spring ducks, the longer the laying period and the higher the egg production. In addition, it is necessary to master the laying rules of various varieties and give full play to the advantages of varieties.

Improve feeding conditions

The production practice shows that the egg production of ducks fed in semi-house and house is higher than that in grazing, which is inseparable from the improvement of feed, feeding mode, stable microclimate and directional cultivation. Due to the reduction of unnecessary activity, the energy consumption is reduced, especially the use of formula feed, which can meet the nutritional needs of female ducks for laying eggs.

Replenish feed in time

Ducks must be fed egg-stimulating materials in time before they begin to give birth. When the laying rate has a downward trend after the opening of laying, it should also be fed in time to prolong the duration of egg production.

Be ready to deliver labor

Laying grass in the duck house is an important measure to keep dry. It is better to use short straw. In addition, a foot-high straw is piled around the duck house for laying eggs. However, because a small number of female ducks lay eggs late, if they open the shed too early, they will inevitably lay their eggs outside the shed or in Hanoi and suffer losses.

Prevent panic group

The number of eggs laid by startled ducks can be reduced by 5% to 30%. The night should be illuminated by dark light all night, and once the ducks are booed, they should be quickly controlled and find out the cause.

Artificial supplementary light

There should be 2 sets of lighting equipment in the duck house, some of which are weak for the rest of the ducks, and some of which are used for feeding and stimulating activities. When the light time reached 16 hours per day and night, the egg production increased significantly.
