Cherry Valley Duck with low Investment and High benefit how to raise and manage Cherry Valley Duck

Cherry Valley duck has the characteristics of low investment, fast growth and good benefit, so it is especially suitable to be popularized in areas with developed water system. The techniques for raising Cherry Valley ducks are as follows:

Cherry Valley Duck

(I) site selection and construction

The greenhouse is built in places with open and flat terrain, good drainage, and conducive to isolation and epidemic prevention of Cherry Valley ducks, such as riversides, ponds and reservoirs without pollution. A mobile space should be left between the greenhouse and the water surface, and wooden sticks should be used as the support of the greenhouse and the skeleton of the ceiling. Spread sorghum stalk or corn straw on top of the greenhouse, covered with wheat straw or rice straw, about 80-100 cm off the ground on both sides of the greenhouse, surrounded by nylon net, sealed with corn straw, plastic sheeting for keeping warm in winter. Duck sheds are generally 20-30 meters long, 8-10 meters wide and 3-4 meters high, which should be oriented according to the location. Each greenhouse can raise 1000-2000 Cherry Valley ducks, with a suitable feeding density of 8-12 ducks per square meter.

(2) feeding and management

1. Brooding: the ducklings within 24 hours after hatching drink water before eating, sprinkle feed on plastic sheeting and let ducks feed freely, feeding 4-6 times a day, and gradually reduce the feeding times with the increase of Cherry Valley duck age. The key to brooding lies in temperature. The temperature in the rearing room of 1-2-day-old ducks was 32-34 ℃, and then gradually cooled down to the extent that the ducklings could move freely and not pile up. In winter and early spring, we should pay attention to the Cherry Valley duck to keep warm and cool down in summer.

2. Feed preparation: feed is made of corn, bean cake, wheat bran, fish meal, bone meal, rapeseed cake and other raw materials, plus appropriate amount of salt, trace elements and a small amount of green feed.

3. Bathing: ducks after 7 days of age can be bathed in sunny and warm weather, and the frequency of launching should be determined according to season, temperature and weather conditions. 3-4 times a day in summer, 1-3 times in spring and autumn, and 1-2 times in winter. The launching time gradually increased from 10 minutes at the beginning to about 1 hour. It can be longer in hot days and shorter in cold days, so it can be mastered flexibly. Every time, the duck after taking a bath should be rushed to the leeward of the playground to rest, trim its feathers, and wait until the duck's feathers are dry before driving into the shed.

4. Epidemic prevention: the duck shed is regularly disinfected with quicklime to keep the shed clean and dry. Rinse the trough and sink with clean water twice a day and disinfect it with potassium permanganate solution 2-3 times a week. Ducklings within 1 day old should be vaccinated with attenuated duck virus hepatitis vaccine. At the age of 15 days, the attenuated duck plague vaccine was fed once with the preventive amount of water mixed with feed, and after 20 days of age, an appropriate amount of cholera or other antibiotics was added to the feed to prevent duck cholera.
