Composition and Control of Duck Raising Cost

Duck raising cost mainly includes duck shed construction cost, duck seedling purchase cost, duck feed cost, labor cost and other expenses, other expenses here are water and electricity expenses, medical expenses and so on. In order to increase breeding efficiency, we can save breeding costs from the following aspects.

Raise fine varieties

The excellent meat duck has higher genetic potential of production performance, fast growth rate, strong disease resistance and high feed utilization rate. at the same age and consuming the same amount of feed, the weight gain of the meat duck is much faster than that of the degraded meat duck.

The ambient temperature should be suitable

The suitable growth temperature of meat duck is 12 ℃ ~ 24 ℃. In this temperature range, duck can make full and effective use of feed. Therefore, it is necessary to create conditions as far as possible, such as keeping in captivity in winter, sealing doors and windows, shading in summer and other measures to keep warm or cool down, in order to improve feed remuneration.

The diet should be balanced.

Because all poultry are "fed according to energy", when the energy level of the diet is high, the feed intake is less; when the energy level of the diet is low, the food intake is more. Therefore, the proportion of protein and energy in meat duck feed should be balanced, otherwise, feed consumption will increase, resulting in waste of some nutrients. If the diet is low in energy and high in protein, protein feed will be wasted as energy consumption. Meat duck poisoning, dysentery, etc., so as to reduce the utilization rate of feed. In addition, feed banks and duck houses should pay attention to the prevention of insect pests, rodents and so on.

The feed should be fresh and kept properly.

First, the raw materials should be fresh. Second, the ingredients should be prepared and fed frequently, and the feed should be stored in a ventilated and dry place to avoid light, so as to avoid the oxidation of fat in the feed and the destruction of VA and VE. Place a layer of moistureproof material between the feed and the ground to prevent feed hardening and mildew.

Get out of the hurdle in time

It is suitable for meat ducks to come out in 40 ~ 48 days, because the weight gain and feed reward of meat ducks have reached the peak, and the weight gain and feed reward of meat ducks decrease after 50 days of age.

Rational use of additives

Nutritional additives such as minerals, vitamins and amino acids are necessary, and other non-nutritional additives are also of great help to improve the growth rate and feed utilization rate of meat ducks. For example, probiotics, enzyme preparations, organic acids and polypeptides have obvious effects on improving weight gain and feed utilization rate of meat ducks.

The shape and adding method of feed should be reasonable.

Generally do not feed raw grain, raw grain crushed, combined with the full price of the particle size, can be different according to the age of the duck, but should not be too broken, otherwise it is easy to fly away and cause waste. Don't try to save trouble and add too much at one time. The structure and height of the material trough should be suitable. In addition, the material trough should be repaired in time in peacetime to prevent waste caused by material leakage.
