1. Advantages of caged meat ducks

Caged meat ducks can make full use of the duck house space, increase the feeding density, increase the yield per unit area, and adopt mechanized equipment to reduce labor intensity. Caged meat ducks in the case of adequate dietary nutrition, the out-of-column time can be shortened to about 60 days, can save about 10% of feed costs, and completely under manual control, little stress from the outside, can effectively prevent some infectious diseases and parasites.

II. Points for attention

Caged meat ducks can not feed freely because of their small range of activities and inhibition, so we should pay attention to the prevention of three kinds of diseases in the process of breeding.

1. Paralysis

Caged meat ducks are extremely prone to lack of calcium and phosphorus, which can cause the death of unstable standing, or even paralysis, so a small amount of calcium powder or gypsum powder can be added to the feed, and some snails or small sand grains can be added at the same time, which can effectively supplement calcium and phosphorus substances and prevent the occurrence of the disease. If meat ducks have already suffered from the disease, they should be fed 0.1% vitamin D in the field in time for 10 days.

2. Vitamin deficiency

The type of feed is too single, there will be vitamin deficiency, so we should properly feed some green feed and earthworms, snails, frogs, etc., in the feed should also be some multivitamins in the field.
