Artificial forced molting technique of laying duck

Generally in egg duck farms, in order to make egg production balance and lay more eggs, laying ducks are usually forced to molt artificially. After molting, laying ducks can resume laying in a short period of time and improve the quality of eggs. So do you know how to molt? Next, let's take a look at the detailed introduction of the pro-agricultural network.

1. Artificial molting time of laying duck

The time of forced molting is usually in the late stage of laying, when the laying rate of the laying duck drops to 50%, and it also requires that the feathers of the duck are scattered and some of the feathers of the laying duck have begun to fall off. Generally, the molting technology is carried out in the high temperature season, so that it can also lay eggs in the low temperature climate, so as to ensure a balanced supply of duck eggs in the market.

2. Artificial forced molting method.

Stop production: light the egg duck into the duck house, slightly disturb it, combined with environmental changes and feeding management, it can stop production. The specific method is: lock up the egg duck during the day, do not graze, only provide adequate drinking water, but do not provide fine feeding, can be properly fed a small amount of rough feeding. After dimming the lights of the duck house at night, after such environmental stimulation and constant cutting and cutting, about a week later, the laying duck will gradually lose weight, lose weight, stop laying eggs, and its feathers will begin to dry off. Next, you can carry out manual plucking.

Feather extraction: after the above specialty treatment, the feather of the egg duck has begun to loose, and the root of the wing feather is gradually dry and transparent, at this time, you can try to pull out the feather, first pull out one or two wing feathers, if the feather is easy to shell, but does not bleed, you can pull out the feather all over the body. When pulling out the feather, first pull out the wing feather of the wing and the tail feather of the tail, stop bleeding immediately when pulling out the feather, wait for a few days to try again, pull out the feather in batches. After feathering, the duck house should be given adequate drinking water and a small amount of rough feeding, and at the same time, attention should be paid to the environmental hygiene of the duck house to prevent bacteria from invading from the pores, so that the laying duck can be infected with disease, and the laying duck can be grazed the next day to resume feeding.

Recovery: egg duck after molting, weight loss, physical weakness, then it is necessary to timely supplement nutrition, strengthen feeding, so that it can recover quickly. Feeding should start from less to more, from coarse to fine, and remember to proceed slowly. If the soil is fed with a large amount of fine feeding, it will cause indigestion and may even die of overeating. Within a week of feathering, try to avoid bright light to protect hair follicles and let them grow new feathers very quickly. when feathers begin to grow again, laying ducks should be fed and nourished so that they can lay eggs.

The above is the egg duck artificial molting technology brought by the pro-agricultural network. This is the end of the introduction of the artificial molting method of the egg duck. If you want to know more, please pay attention to the pro-agricultural network.
