How to raise ducks in winter

In the anti-freezing pass, the egg production of duck is closely related to the temperature. When the temperature is below 0 ℃, the egg production of duck will decrease greatly. In order to keep the laying rate of laying ducks high in winter, the temperature in the shed should not be lower than 6 ℃. Therefore, heating equipment should be added in the shed. In addition, the mat grass in the shed should be changed frequently, and the laying duck should not be allowed to spend the winter in wet and cold places.

For stocking, egg ducks should be released from the shed every day according to the weather in winter, allowing them to forage, play and move freely, but when stocking, they must choose a place of leeward grazing, so as to prevent duck feathers from being exposed by the wind and getting wet and cold. At the same time, when the egg duck goes into the water, it must first exercise on the dry land for half an hour and then let it go into the water, so as to prevent the duck from cramping because the water is cold.

Buguang pass, due to the short days and long nights in winter, for laying ducks with peak laying period in winter, attention should be paid to artificial lighting. Generally can be in the shed 2 meters from the ground, every 30 square meters or so to hang a 60-watt bulb, and add a lampshade.

How to supplement feeding during the first parturition of laying ducks

In the grazing area with better wild feed conditions, after supplementary feeding, the new feathers of ducks grow rapidly, the body fat increases, the yolk increases, and some ducks are more active in action, often leaving the group to look for food for a long time. If the feed is not abundant in the grazing area, the ducks sometimes shout loudly together, so it is necessary to increase the meal.

Duck fattening period, in the wild feed barren grazing areas, to feed two meals, supplementary feeding the second meal is often at noon, fed as full as breakfast. After the second meal is replenished, if the cold snap strikes, the ducks will call in groups. In order to prevent the decrease of duck body weight and laying rate, it is necessary to add three meals, usually breakfast from 6 am to 06:30, lunch at noon and evening food at night. Under normal circumstances, when the laying rate reaches 20% ~ 30%, use rapid treatment of ovitis or ovitis Kangxiao for one time salpingitis. The egg laying rate reaches 50% before feeding four meals a day, which can significantly increase the egg production rate of ducks, increase the number of eggs per day by more than 10%, and reach 80% to 90% in three or four days.
