Matters needing attention in breeding Mandarin Duck

When raising mandarin duck, we should pay attention to a lot of problems. It is not as simple as ordinary ducks, and it is quite different in some aspects. So what problems should be paid attention to when breeding? Let's learn about it so that our breeding skills can be further improved.

1. Site selection

Mandarin ducks have a high demand for water, so when choosing an address, priority should be given to the location of water. If the water conservancy condition is good, the advantage of breeding will be great. It is better to have places with rich water resources and high fluidity, and to enrich aquatic resources and aquatic plants, so that there are high-quality innate conditions. Secondly, it is necessary to have a long time of direct sunlight on the land near the water plate, and avoid shade around. Mandarin ducks and ducks especially like to bask in the sun and play in the water. As the breeding time is long, the mandarin duck activity site is easy to have a peculiar smell, so the wind direction had better pass through the breeding site, which is something to consider when selecting the site.

2. Culture proportion

The breeding ratio refers to the ratio of male ducks to female ducks, which is a problem that farmers are easy to overlook. Although it is a mandarin duck, the ratio of male to female is not 1: 1. It is generally about 1: 3, which is conducive to reproduction and increase the income of egg production. During the period do not easily supplement male ducks, it is best to grow up together, if you want to supplement is also a small amount of supplement, one-time supplement too much can easily lead to duck unrest, this should pay more attention.

3. Disease prevention

Although the mandarin duck itself has a strong ability to resist disease, it does not mean that the mandarin duck will not get sick, and many people will naturally ignore this problem. In fact, their diseases are the same as ordinary meat ducks, but the causes of diseases are different. Mandarin ducks and ducks are basically caused by inattention to hygiene in most cases, and only in a few cases because of other causes. Therefore, the way to prevent diseases of mandarin ducks is very simple, just do a good job of disinfecting the duck house every day.

4. Clustering in time

Although mandarin ducks can be raised on a large scale, the number of ducks in each group should not be too large, and it is not a big problem to raise thousands of ordinary ducks together, but a flock of mandarin ducks is only about one or two hundred, not too many. Duck houses also need to be divided into regions according to groups, so that the efficiency of breeding will be significantly increased. In terms of quantity, the density of duck houses is 4-6 per square meter in winter, sparse in summer, and 3-4 per square meter in summer. if the conditions are not enough, it is okay to have a higher density, but the grouping should be done in time.

The above are some points for attention in the breeding of mandarin duck. When breeding, we should pay more attention to the different breeds of ducks and some different needs, so we should adjust our breeding methods according to the actual breeds.
