How to raise muscovy duck

Muscovy duck, also known as quail geese, is bigger than ordinary domestic ducks, but not as big as geese. At present, it is mainly cultured in Hubei, Fujian, Longhai and other places in China. The Yang Yang of Muscovy Duck is of high value and is a very healthy nourishing treasure. It has certain curative effect on pneumonia, asthma, stroke, coronary heart disease, diabetes and other diseases. So how to raise a rare bird like Muscovy duck? Let's study with the editor today.

1. Construction of breeding farms

The construction of breeding farm is the basic condition for raising Muscovy duck. Now the general use of three-dimensional culture, so that we can make full use of the space of the farm, so as to achieve the effect of reducing costs. Muscovy duck farms are generally built on high-lying mountains, the nearby forage is abundant, close to the water source, and the water quality is pollution-free. Can use the current greenhouse breeding, then only need to build a greenhouse. The height and width of the greenhouse should be reasonable, the duck house in the greenhouse should be separated separately, and the food trough and sink should be built separately.

2. Selection of duck fry

The selection of duck seedlings is very important. there are probably three kinds of muscovy ducks on the market, namely, white muscovy duck, black muscovy duck and black and white muscovy duck. The choice of duck seedlings needs to be made according to the purpose, followed by the purchase of Muscovy duck seedlings, preferably from suppliers with a state-approved business license. Generally speaking, we will choose strong, disease-free and high-quality Muscovy duck seedlings for breeding.

3. Raising ducklings

Ducklings generally have a weak physique. For the ducklings we have just bought, we need to keep them warm. The temperature of the duck house in the farm should be kept at about 28 degrees Celsius. At the same time, fluorescent lamps should be used to lengthen the light indoors. After a week of feeding the ducklings, the temperature in the duck house can be reduced to about 25 degrees Celsius. After two weeks of feeding, the temperature can drop to about 22 degrees Celsius, and then slowly return to the normal indoor temperature. In the duckling feeding stage, rodent damage still needs to be prevented, and fluorescent lighting needs to be reduced slowly after three days. When feeding ducklings, they should feed water in containers so as not to wet the ducklings' feathers and cause colds. The feed is mainly corn, wheat bran, fine bran, bean cake and other nutrients. You need to be fed at least five or six times a day, not too much each time.

4. Raising young ducks

The number of young muscovy ducks is slowly increasing. Then during this period of time we can appropriately reduce the feeding of concentrate and increase the feeding of coarse feed. And grazing can be carried out at this time, usually once in the morning, and then in the afternoon in a fixed place at a fixed time for the second time. At the same time, Muscovy Ducks can be fed in the evening, which can promote the growth of Muscovy Ducks and fatten them quickly.

5. Feeding during the laying period

The growing period of muscovy ducks is relatively long, and it usually takes 27 to 29 weeks to start laying eggs. So laying naturally hopes to improve the laying rate of Muscovy duck, so we can appropriately increase the feeding of crude protein feed in the early stage of laying, and then slowly supplement the nutrients needed during the laying period of Muscovy duck. And increase the amount of minerals and microorganisms needed for Muscovy ducks. In order to improve the digestibility of muscovy ducks, we need to set up gravel basins in the farm, which can not only entertain muscovy ducks, but also reduce the number of bacteria on the body, and at the same time promote digestion and kill three birds with one stone.

In fact, the feeding of muscovy ducks is roughly the same as that of ordinary ducks, and the second is that the method of raising is also related to the purpose of raising. If it is a meat type of Muscovy duck, then it needs to be fattened, but if it is an egg type of Muscovy duck, it needs to increase its laying rate. On one point, it is sorted out by the editor, the method of raising Muscovy Duck. If you want to know more details, please remember to follow us.
