Matters needing attention in laying period of laying Duck

Duck breeding is one of the main breeding industries in our country, and duck breeding has several directions, such as laying duck, meat duck, breeding duck, etc. Those who raise laying duck hope to increase the yield of laying duck and increase their own economic benefits. However, many people found that after laying eggs, not only the yield was low, but some eggs were still soft eggs and rotten eggs, which seriously reduced the yield and quality. In fact, this is caused by improper management during the laying period. Here's what we should pay attention to when we are in the laying period of laying ducks.

1. Feed

Egg ducks will begin to lay eggs when they are raised to about 300 days. In order to improve the high yield and quality of eggs before the laying period, we should prepare the feed according to the surrounding natural environment, feeding scale and other conditions. For example, small breeding bases in mountainous areas should select egg duck early maturity, high egg production rate of the whole family egg duck feed. In large-scale planting bases in coastal areas, corresponding feeds should be selected according to the characteristics of varieties. When selecting feeds, the main direction should be to satisfy the nutrition of laying ducks and enhance the physique of laying ducks. The feeding amount was mainly based on the free feeding amount of ducks.

2. Light

Laying ducks need a long period of light, and the daily light can be long but uninterrupted. Can gradually increase the daily lighting time to 16 hours, the shortest should not be less than 10 hours, to continuous irradiation, regular lighting, can not be opened and stopped, a day short day long, not to make the light intensity strong and weak. It can only be strengthened slowly. However, the lighting time should not be increased suddenly for a few hours in order to have no effect. It should be gradually increased by one hour per day. Reasonable illumination time, the illumination control in laying duck time can effectively promote laying duck production, improve yield.

3. Temperature

Ducks are thermophilic and water-loving animals, and so are laying ducks. The most suitable temperature for laying ducks is about 20 degrees Celsius, and it must not be higher than 20 degrees Celsius. Because ducks are an animal without sweat glands, they cannot dissipate heat. If the temperature is too high, ducks will be restless, have a poor appetite, and some normal functions of the body will also be affected. As a result of lack of nutrition, malnutrition in the body, duck eggs do not have enough nutrition, so that the eggs finally laid, eggshells become lighter, protein is not thick, yield decreases. Therefore, it is necessary to maintain the temperature of the duck house. If it is higher than 30 degrees, it should be cooled immediately. It must not be uncomfortable for the ducks.

4. Management

Duck house management is very important, it is whether duck can be successfully increased production, duck egg quality is an important condition. Each season also has different management methods for each season. For example, in spring, attention should be paid to prevent mildew in duck houses, enhance the permeability of duck houses, open doors and windows, maintain ventilation, and speed up the ventilation rate in duck houses. Although ducks like water, they are not resistant to moisture, so it is necessary to ensure that the duck house is dry. There shall be no accumulated water in the free-range breeding area, and the mildew of feed shall be prevented. The duck house shall be cleaned and disinfected regularly.

The above is about the work that should be done during the laying period of laying ducks. In fact, in management, it is not only necessary to focus on management in spring, but also to pay attention to the cooling and lighting of duck houses in summer. In winter, attention should be paid to cold and warming. Duck is an animal that likes light in particular. The light time can last up to 16 hours during the laying period, and it cannot be less. Therefore, if you want egg ducks to have high yield, these aspects must be paid attention to, and I hope this article can help everyone.
