Key points of management during the rearing period of ducklings with weak body resistance and poor egg ducklings

Before brooding, prepare brooding room, transport carton, disinfect, prepare complete feed for ducklings, drinking water, feed tank, psychrometer, etc.

ducklings

1. Brooding temperature: the first few days ducklings adjust the body temperature ability is poor, the first three days of temperature standard for 33-35℃, after gradually decreasing. In practice, the appropriate temperature can be determined from the ducklings 'activities. Such as duck group evenly distributed, lively, active appetite, normal feces, it indicates that the temperature is normal; such as ducklings as close to the heat source as possible, crowded together, indicating that the temperature is low, to immediately heat up; such as away from the heat source, mouth panting, drinking a lot, indicating that the temperature is too high.

2. Food and feeding: should be in the ducklings out of shell within 24 hours of food, the first few days ducklings digestive capacity is poor, can be cooked chicken egg yolk rub into the feed feed, 3-5 days later can feed ducklings complete formula. Vitamins should be mixed on the same day and fed on the same day, with high-quality fish meal with appropriate salt content, never with deteriorated raw materials, because ducklings are very sensitive to feed quality, prone to drug poisoning, so do not blindly feed medicine, do not feed chicks feed. Feed should be mixed wet and re-fed to ensure that there is always drinking water and continuous feed.

3. Pay attention to hygiene: ducklings pad grass should use mildew-free long wheat straw, straw, dry grass, finely divided, deteriorated pad grass, ducklings pecking, will be indigestion. Mat grass should be changed daily, keep dry, wet dirt wet down will cause ducklings sick. It is best to take online flat breeding brood.

4. Light: 60 watt bulbs are used for lighting for 21-24 hours in the first three days. From the fourth day of age, the light intensity is gradually reduced and the light time is reduced. For example, spring chicks mainly use natural light and use darker lights at night.

5. Drinking water: water is needed for duck growth, from shell to elimination moment can not be cut off water. To open after boiling water, generally clean water can be, the water temperature is about 20℃, the temperature is too low to affect the duckling temperature, the water temperature is too high duckling easy to drill. When raising large groups, every 200 ducklings have a drinking fountain, which is evenly placed, and the following should be padded with absorbent furnace ash to prevent wetting the grass. In short, ducklings should be able to drink water at any time, and do not make ducklings jump into the water, do not touch the water, do not flow on the ground.

Captivity method: do not use a large area of water to breed, but must supply it with water to wash its head, generally put a 20cm high basin, keep the water full for a long time, wash the duck hair in the basin, keep the duck nostrils not dry, but also can wash off the fine materials and soil stained on the head. Nasal dry easily sick, such as the head and feathers around the eyes were stained off, it is impossible to maintain head temperature. When ducklings eat, they cannot secrete saliva. After eating, they should drink a mouthful of water to help them swallow. Therefore, the basin should not be too far away from the feed.
