Feeding and management techniques of ducklings

With the continuous improvement of people's living standards, more and more people like duck eggs and duck meat. In stimulating duck breeding, more and more duck farmers are raising ducks. However, there are often many problems when raising ducks. The first thing to raise ducks is ducklings. Many farmers often lose money at this stage because of poor management. Below, the pro-farming network brings ducklings raising management technology. Let's take a look together.

1. Brood conditions

When raising ducklings, we must first provide suitable environmental conditions for ducklings to grow, mainly temperature, humidity and light conditions.

Temperature: brooding temperature is the key point to improve the survival rate of ducklings, ducklings for higher temperature requirements, generally daytime temperature should be higher than the night temperature between 10-20 degrees, which is conducive to the growth and development of ducklings, but the daytime temperature should not exceed 30 degrees, the temperature must be stable, avoid high and low.

Humidity: In the early stage of brooding, the indoor temperature is extremely high, so it leads to rapid evaporation of water, in a high humidity environment, but it should not be too humid, too humid affects the breathing of ducklings, but the humidity is too low, which will lead to the drying of ducklings 'toes, and the spirit is weak, affecting growth. Humidity is generally satisfied in the south, but it is dry in the north.

Light: Light can improve the temperature of ducklings 'body surface, enhance its blood pressure cycle, make ducklings' bones grow rapidly, increase appetite, stimulate digestion and speed up metabolism. In case of insufficient natural light, artificial supplement should be carried out, and the light duration of more than 12 hours per day should be maintained.

2. Key points of management

Drinking water and eating: when raising ducklings, we should follow the principle of early drinking water, early eating, drinking water first and eating later. After hatching, let them drink water and then eat.

Feeding: Pay attention to the method of feeding, feed less and eat more, slowly change to regular feeding, within 3 days of hatching, generally feed once every two hours, feed 2-3 times at night, and after 21 days of age, feed 3 times each time.

Bathing exercise: in ducklings feeding to regularly bathe and exercise, so that can speed up metabolism, promote development, but in the bath, pay attention to the depth of water, ducklings tail fat gland is not developed, in the bath time to be short, water to shallow.

Group management: ducklings of different ages should be raised in groups to prevent the ducklings of a little older age from rushing for food, resulting in the ducklings of less age not eating and affecting their development.

The above is the duckling feeding management technology brought by the parent farming network. The content of duckling feeding management is introduced here. If you want to know more, please pay attention to the parent farming network.
