Techniques of duck breeding

Duck is a common edible poultry animal raised in China, which has a long history of breeding, has accumulated a lot of experience in all aspects of breeding, and the breeding technology has been mature. There are many kinds of ducks, but not all of them can be widely raised, so today we will only talk about the breeding of ducks, which are more common in our daily life. Please pay attention to the following contents.

I. selection of species

There are different kinds of ducks, so there are many different kinds of ducks. Choose ducks that can be raised not only in water, but also in dry land without going into water. The high-quality performance of the individual is mostly, the coat color is shiny, there is no hair removal, the eyes are bright, the soles of the feet are normal, strong and powerful.

Second, select land to build sheds

In general, ducks are raised during the day and rush back to the shed at night to have a rest. Therefore, the farm should choose a place close to the water source where there is a large area of flat open space and convenient for sewage discharge. Generally, you can choose to build a shed on a gentle slope above the beach in the lower reaches of the river. Can also be far away from the village, under the hillside shed, rice fields to build ponds for stocking, it is best to have orchards nearby for habitat and foraging.

1. The stocking density is determined according to the duck size and breeding site, but the general space is wide and can keep about 300 ducks. Can be divided into several areas in the river beach, water surface and other areas to separate stocking, to avoid stampede. Some food and drinking water need to be placed in each area, and the surface of the water is free to forage. Ducklings must pay attention to heat preservation, the temperature is maintained between 20 and 30 degrees, if a sudden low temperature, you can use a stove for heating.

two。 For feed, ducks are omnivorous requirements, generally can be fed vegetables, sweet potato vines, sweet potatoes, corn meal configuration of concentrate feed and so on, ducklings can be kept in captivity, mainly eat a small amount of fine feed, and a small amount of water. You don't have to raise too much twice a day to avoid bloating and dying without digestion. During the normal growth period, the combination feed can be fed three times a day, or it can be fed according to the situation that the ducks are out looking for food and satiety. Ducklings can go into exercise and then enter the stocking stage after normal hair removal and development.

3. When stocking, we should pay attention to feral cats, domestic dogs, some small animals secretly prey on ducks, especially ducklings must be kept in a protective fence. Each area needs to be surrounded by solid and dense barbed wire.

4. In raising poultry, we must pay attention to prevent the occurrence of plague, the most important thing is to prevent the occurrence of epidemic disease, when it happens, the speed is too fast to be prepared. Every epidemic prevention measure should be fully implemented and must receive all kinds of vaccines on a regular basis. If other farms get sick, they should be given medicine immediately to prevent it. Clean the shed every day and clean the stocking farm in real time. Food utensils must be washed and disinfected on time. Each site can be disinfected and sterilized by spraying.

In the process of breeding ducklings, we must pay attention to the difference between the two stages of breeding ducklings and normal growth, and no small details can be ignored in the breeding process. I believe that we can basically raise good ducks.
