How to raise Muscovy Duck with good Economic benefit with High Survival rate and High Feed reward

The "meat mandarin duck" circulating in society is muscovy duck. Muscovy duck has high lean meat rate and delicious meat taste, which is welcomed by the market. Muscovy duck can be raised in water, land, captivity, grazing, production equipment is simple, feeding management is convenient. And muscovy duck adaptability is strong, can bear high temperature, disease little survival rate is high, general brood survival rate 95%-98% above. Now I will introduce you to muscovy duck breeding technology.

I. Raising of commercial muscovy duck

1. Muscovy ducklings rearing:

(1) The key to raising Muscovy ducklings under 4-5 weeks of age is artificial temperature or auto-temperature breeding. The requirements are as follows: 27℃ at 1 week of age, 24℃ at 2 weeks of age, 22℃ at 3 weeks of age, 20℃ at 4 weeks of age, 18℃-20℃ at 5 weeks of age. The specific temperature application should be adjusted according to the behavior and distribution of Muscovy ducklings.

(2) Feed requirements for preparation (or procurement) of complete grain feed, 0-3 weeks old pellet diameter is not more than 1.5 mm, metabolic energy 2900-3000 kcal/kg, crude protein 19.5%-22%; Muscovy ducks after 4 weeks old can eat complete grain feed with diameter of 1.5 mm, or 3.5-4 mm, metabolic energy 2800-3000 kcal/kg, crude protein 17%-19%.

(3) Muscovy ducks after hatching drink water first and then eat, the time does not exceed 18-24 hours, drinking water with 0.1% potassium permanganate water or hundred poison water for 1-2 days, and then add appropriate amount of rapid supplement and norfloxacin or doxycycline in drinking water to enhance duckling constitution and prevent diseases. Start feeding by placing feed on a platter or on linen and letting muscovy ducklings feed ad libitum.

(4) Whether raised on the ground or online, straw or linen should be padded, and the grass and linen should be replaced frequently. The duck house should have sufficient light, artificial light at night, and complete natural light after the ducklings are 4 weeks old.

2. Feeding in the middle duck period: Muscovy duck of 4, 5-10 weeks old, digestive ability enhanced, feed intake large, coarse feeding tolerance, in addition to daily complete feed dosage to increase, but also should supplement grass, green vegetables and other green feed, 10 weeks old male muscovy duck weight up to 3.5-4 kg, female muscovy duck 1.5-2 kg, can be listed. The male and female muscovy ducks should be separated and raised in groups of 100-300 per group, 5-8 per square meter. Muscovy duck began to molt in the middle, easy to peck addiction, should pay attention to beak, shading. Muscovy duck is known as dry duck, large group breeding also only need to provide a small amount of artificial pool or basin for its drinking water, but must pay attention to water to clean sanitation and can not cut off water.

II. Raising of reserve muscovy duck

1. 9-24 Muscovy duck can be reserve breeding muscovy duck, select large and healthy male and female muscovy duck, male and female ratio 1:4-5, reserve breeding muscovy duck should be limited to feed, feed nutrition level should be reduced, appropriate weight control. Before laying eggs, the weight of female muscovy duck is controlled between 2.3-2.8 kg, male muscovy duck is controlled between 4-5 kg, the metabolic energy of daily diet is 2700-2800 kcal/kg, crude protein is 14%-16%, the average feed per day of each muscovy duck is 100-150 g, and generally, 25-50 g of green feed can be added every day; The crude protein and metabolizable energy levels of the diet can be increased appropriately at the beginning of laying, so as to gradually transition the nutritional level to the nutritional level of the laying period and ensure a higher egg production.

2. The duck house should be ventilated, 3 ducks per square meter should be raised, and enough straw laying boxes should be prepared. If the number of muscovy ducks is large, you can directly enclose a corner of the duck house and put straw on it to become a large "egg box" on the ground, which can be used for laying eggs. Pay attention to the brooding nature of muscovy ducks. The most effective way is to change the duck houses of brooding muscovy ducks. Each duck house stays a little more than two days and nights. The transfer of brooding muscovy ducks must be carried out in the evening.

3. Pay attention to the cleanliness and disease prevention of duck house, change bedding once a week, sprinkle lime powder on the ground when laying new bedding, pay attention to drying, ventilation and disinfection of duck house. When breeding muscovy ducks in large groups, attention should be paid to regular vaccination against duck plague, viral duckling hepatitis, muscovy duck parvovirus disease, etc. All localities should formulate immunization procedures and disease prevention measures according to the specific epidemic conditions of various localities.
