Main points of feeding management of overwintering egg duck

Winter is a difficult season for farmers, and it is also a sad time for laying ducks. However, this is also a good time to help egg ducks fattening, so how to feed and manage egg ducks during overwintering? Let's learn more about it.

1. Organize the duck flock

Naturally, the first thing to do is to tidy up the ducks. after a round of laying period, we will find some laying ducks that are not suitable for breeding, which need to be cleaned up at this time. The second is some ducks with a serious decline in egg production or ducks that have been laying eggs for too long, and ducks like this are targets that need to be cleaned up in the whole flock. The whole group at this stage is to maintain the high egg production of ducks, so that ducks can only be maintained at a high level.

2. Perfect warmth preservation

There is no need to say much about the perfection of keeping warm. Although ducks like water, they will not go into the water in winter. Instead, they should keep warm at this time. The warmth of ducks is mainly reflected in two aspects, one is room temperature, the other is contact with the ground, the former can be achieved through a variety of warming equipment, the latter is best achieved by adding padding, under the double guarantee, the problem of duck warmth can be greatly improved.

3. Appropriate replenishment

Overwintering ducks are different from those in summer. At this time, the nutrition of ducks is consumed faster in order to keep out of the cold. In addition, they can not go out, and they have no additional food sources. At this time, replenishment has become a very important thing. Ducks' supplements are mostly concentrated at night, because the winter night is too long, and it is better to replenish them at night with higher nutrition, without too much emphasis on the supply of protein. At the same time, some warm water should be reserved for common consumption, and the lights can be turned off later to facilitate their eating.

4. Density adjustment

Finally, it is naturally appropriate to adjust the density. We all know that the density needs to be higher in winter, but do not increase it too deliberately when adjusting the density. It is too high for feeding. The ducks will huddle together to keep warm. If the ducks are still like this when eating, then the temperature is still too low and the ducks are not active. At this time, you can increase the density a little bit and raise the temperature a little bit.

These are the feeding and management techniques of egg ducks when they are overwintering. Egg ducks are a good fattening time in winter. If all aspects are done well, then the duck will be a period of high egg production in the coming year.
