How are dry ducks raised?

Stocking time. According to the feed resources in the orchard, the orchard can be divided into two periods: stocking period and captive period. The most suitable stocking period is the peak period for the reproduction and growth of animals and plants in the garden, usually from the middle of April (from Qingming Festival to Grain Rain) to the end of October. At this time, the forage grass in the garden grows luxuriantly, and there are many by-products of fruit trees. Ducks can feed on all kinds of grass, wild vegetables, flowers, leaves, fruits and other plant foods, as well as a variety of animal foods such as eggs, pupae, crawling insects and near-surface flying insects. Adult ducks can be stocked all year round.

Garden choice. Ducks act foolishly and cannot peck on trees, which provides a guarantee for low-column grazing in the orchard. Where the soil and water conditions are better, higher trunk or old apples, pears, apricots, Hawthorns, persimmons, walnuts and other orchards can be stocked. Free-range ducks can play a role in grass control, and duck dung can provide high-quality fertilizer for fruit trees. This is an effective measure to transform the high-quality and efficient orchard with overgrown weeds, extensive management, serious insect pests, no fruit at the right age or low yield and low efficiency.

The construction of shacks. Orchard stocking is a new technology based on captivity, and shacks are also needed for supplementary feeding, drinking water and egg laying at night. Measures can be taken in accordance with local conditions, the use of mountain cliff, the transformation of old buildings and other methods to build plastic greenhouse duck house without being far away from the stocking garden. The construction area of the shed should be calculated with 6-7 pieces per square meter. a certain activity area should be enclosed in front of the shed, and material trough and drinking fountain trough should be placed in the site.
