Feeding method

The ducklings are supplied with water within 24 hours after they come out of their shell. The method is to put a piece of plastic film on the ground and sprinkle some cold boiled water or 1/10000 oxytetracycline solution to let the ducklings drink freely. After drinking water, sprinkle the prepared feed water with wet water on the plastic film to allow it to eat, and begin to sprinkle less, while calling, to guide the duck to eat and find food. At the age of 1-3 days, they were fed once an hour and were required to finish in a short period of time. After 4 days old, the ducks were fed less frequently, which prompted the ducks to eat freely day and night and provide sufficient clean drinking water.

During the fattening period, the main purpose of the fattening period is to increase the food intake of ducks, it is best to feed them manually, mix the formula feed with suitable warm boiling water and mix it into soft and hard particles, rub them into finger-sized particles with hands, and fill them manually for 3 to 4 times a day, each time according to the digestive ability of ducks.
