Feeding and Management of Muscovy Duck

Everyone thinks that muscovy duck is a new breed of duck that has emerged in recent years, but it is not. Muscovy duck has been bred in our country for hundreds of years. Muscovy duck looks very strange, neither like a duck nor a goose, but it is of great value. It is not only a very promising meat duck, but its duck liver can also be eaten. However, in the process of breeding, many people will find that the Muscovy duck grows slowly and the meat quality is uneven. In fact, the main reason is that the feeding and management has not been done well, so the following editor has brought the feeding and management of Muscovy Ducks. Let's have a look.

1. Select varieties

The selection of a good variety is the key to the success of breeding. When we choose a variety, we can choose according to the color of Muscovy duck feathers, and the direction of breeding is different with different colors. For example, some varieties of processed snacks are suitable for raising white feathered muscovy ducks, and the varieties sold on the market can choose muscovy ducks with black feathers. So we have to choose according to our own breeding direction, breeding ducks must grow normally, disease-free and harmless, which can ensure that there will be no abnormalities in the later growth. Improve the chances of successful farming.

2. Management of Muscovy ducklings

After the selection, it is necessary to manage the young muscovy ducks. in fact, the management of the young muscovy ducklings is not much different from that of ordinary ducklings. It is necessary to ensure the early growth temperature of the ducklings, pay attention to the temperature changes in each season, and make timely measures to adjust the temperature of the duck house. The change of temperature also needs to change with the growth of Muscovy duck. Muscovy ducklings in the three days after birth to ensure that the duck house continuous light, uninterrupted, and then gradually reduce the time, but can not be reduced too much at one time to avoid muscovy ducks do not adapt and occur. The anti-escape equipment of the duck house can not only prevent the Muscovy duck from escaping, but also prevent the weather invasion of the Muscovy duck and ensure the survival rate.

3. Management of Muscovy Duck

A duckling is called a duckling after a month and a half. Although it is not completely out of the range of ducklings, its growth habits are very different from those of ducklings. At this stage, ducklings grow at the fastest rate, and the nutrition required is also very large, so it is necessary to increase the amount of feed, and the nutrients in the feed should also be increased to ensure the growth of muscovy ducks. No matter what kind of breeding method, it is necessary to set up a pool next to the duck house, because ducks like water very much, so they should satisfy the hobby of letting muscovy ducks swim in the water.

4. Fattening period management

After the muscovy duck's nestling stage and middle duck stage, you can begin to prepare for the fattening period. However, the fattening period is not in a fixed time, mainly based on the growth of Muscovy duck, the weight gain of Muscovy duck and the difference of each Muscovy duck. The time must be chosen well, not too early and too late, too early will have a great impact on the growth and development of Muscovy duck, not only can not be fattened, but may also cause Muscovy duck to lose fat. However, if fattening too late, feed will be seriously wasted and feed conversion rate will be reduced. But usually start fattening in two months, for about a month.

The above is what we need to do when raising Muscovy ducks. It is also important to note that Muscovy ducks cannot change their hair, so in this hot summer weather, it is necessary to ensure the ventilation of the duck house and properly drive the Muscovy ducks into the pond to cool down. Otherwise, it is easy to make the Muscovy duck suffer from heatstroke. Pay attention to the hygiene of the duck house. The Muscovy duck is clean and tidy and its feathers are supple and smooth. It will also improve its commodity value.
