Breeding and management techniques of breeding ducks

Duck is a very popular poultry in China, duck meat has high nutritional value, and duck eggs are also welcomed by many people. Therefore, the breeding area of ducks is still very large. When raising ducks, if you want to improve the growth ability and egg production of ducks, the duck breeding room is very important. So how to raise breeder ducks? How should it be managed? The following editor has brought you the techniques of raising and managing ducks. Let's have a look!

1. Raise male ducks well

Male ducks are critical to the fertilization rate of eggs. To ensure that the male duck is strong and normal sexual function, good sperm quality and so on. Male ducks usually need to be raised for about five months before they can mature sexually. Therefore, when choosing a male duck, its age is about two months earlier than that of the female duck. By the time the female duck begins to give birth, it will be the time for the male duck to mature sexually. Male ducks compete for food when eating, and it is easy to lead to uneven eating if mixed breeding. Therefore, male and female ducks should be raised separately, but male ducks should also be careful not to play with each other and have bad habits. Then, about three weeks before mating, mixed culture is carried out, and if the sexual behavior of male ducks is obvious, then mixed breeding can be carried out early.

2. Improve nutrition

When we feed female ducks, we should not only provide them with sufficient necessary nutrients, but also pay attention to feeding more vitamins, green feed and other fodder. Especially vitamin E, because vitamin E is very beneficial to the fertilization and hatching of female ducks. Then the proportion of protein in the feed should be appropriately higher than usual. It is also necessary to meet the needs of various amino acids such as lysine and methionine to maintain balance. Then we have to do a good breeding work, if the male duck breeding performance is good, then the male-female ratio should be maintained at about 1:20, in the high temperature environment, the proportion can be appropriately expanded. Pay attention to male ducks with obscure sexual behavior and addiction.

3. Strengthen the management

For breeder ducks, it is a key measure to strengthen exercise and improve their fertility when bathing in water. Because breeding ducks can strengthen the metabolism of breeding ducks in the new town through exercise and bathing. And most of the time, ducks mate in the water. Therefore, whether it is grazing or house feeding, we should pay attention to the clean water side. For breeding ducks, it is necessary to prolong the time of their underwater activities, and the mating work of breeding ducks is usually carried out in the morning and evening. So it is very important to drive the breeder duck into the water to take a bath sooner or later.

4. Maintain the environment

When raising ducks, pay attention to setting up egg pits in the duck house, and bedding should be laid in the pits to prevent duck eggs from breaking. The bedding in the duck house should be dry and clean, especially in the place where eggs are laid. Then the playground should maintain a good drainage unobstructed, can not produce stagnant water. The house should maintain a good ventilation and improve the air quality in the house. If the temperature is high, then attention should be paid to ventilation. Then we should collect breeding eggs in time to avoid dampness and reduce the quality and hatching rate of breeding eggs.

The above is a brief introduction to the techniques of raising and managing ducks. That's all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only. I hope it can help you all.
