Matters needing attention in laying duck breeding

Duck breeding has always been a popular industry, and it is also one of the important breeding projects in our country. There are many kinds of ducks, and their uses are not the same. There is a kind of egg-laying duck and meat duck that is specially eaten. Next, the editor will explain the matters needing attention in egg duck breeding with you. Let's take a look.

1. Feeding management

Laying ducks can lay eggs half a year after breeding. If laying ducks want to lay more eggs, they should be fed reasonably according to the surrounding environment. The frequency and time of feeding have a certain relationship with the laying rate of laying ducks. If you suddenly reduce the number of feeding times or change the feeding time, it may lead to egg production in summer, so during the laying period, in addition to ensuring that laying ducks are full, it is also very important to supplement stable feeding methods.

2. Calcium supplement

Laying ducks can not lay eggs without calcium, especially in the peak period of egg laying, if laying ducks lack calcium, it will reduce the laying rate, and it is very easy to produce soft-shell eggs and thin-shell eggs, affecting the commercial value. In order to ensure the laying rate of laying ducks, the content of calcium in feed should be increased and the laying rate should be increased during the laying period.

3. Avoid stress

When a flock of ducks is suddenly transferred from one place to another, it will lay eggs and cause disease, which is called stress. Therefore, when breeding, it is best not to change the breeding environment, an environment has been raised until out of the fence, at the same time, in the breeding process, try to keep the duck house quiet, should not make a scene, or strangers or animals harass them, all these will cause stress, thus affecting egg production.

4. Elimination in time

Some farmers do not get rid of the old egg ducks in time when raising them, which makes the output of egg ducks worse year by year. In general, laying ducks should be replaced in time at the age of 500-600 days, or when the ducks are aging, it will seriously affect the egg production and lead to a serious decline in the economic benefits of farmers.

5. Light intensity

During the laying period of laying ducks, light intensity is paid special attention to. In order to increase egg production, some people blindly increase light intensity or light duration, which will have the opposite effect and reduce the laying rate. In general, strictly speaking, the duration of light should not exceed 1 hour at a time, nor should it stop and brighten suddenly, early and evening, and gradually extend the duration of light, up to a maximum of no more than 16 hours.
