What conditions are required to raise ducks
Answering netizens' questions about the conditions and precautions for raising ducks and knowledge about flowers, here are the detailed contents to be shared.
There are many species of wild ducks, with about 10 species in China, which are typical representatives of waterfowl. In a narrow sense, wild ducks refer to mallards, which are the most common large wild ducks and the main subjects of artificial domestication. Wild ducks have the characteristics of low investment, quick results, and high returns, and are a shortcut for farmers to become wealthy through breeding. Therefore, it has become a popular breeding project in recent years. So how should wild ducks be raised? Let's learn about the breeding and management techniques for wild ducks.
1. Selection of Site
Wild ducks like water, so it is necessary to ensure there is sufficient and clean water around the breeding site. It can be established around reservoirs, ponds, etc., and the water quality should be kept flowing to update it in time. When establishing a breeding site, not only should rest rooms and exercise fields be set up, but also brooding rooms. Brooding of wild ducks mainly uses a flat brooding method, controlling the area of the brooding room according to the actual situation. The brooding room is divided into small partitions of two square meters, with each partition capable of raising about 70 ducklings. Then, ensure proper insulation measures and regularly observe the growth of wild ducks to prevent compression and stacking.
2. Proper Breeding
Wild ducks can usually be selected for breeding about two months after they grow. The ratio of male to female breeding ducks is about one to six. When raising breeding ducks, the nutritional content should be appropriately increased, the feeding amount increased, and the yield improved. Special egg duck feed available in the market can be used, and the breeding ducks placed in the laying area with soft padding on the ground to prevent the eggs from breaking and improve the hatching rate. After successful hatching, the ducklings are placed in the brooding room, and the padding in the brooding room should be changed regularly to keep it dry. Then, adjust the breeding density after about 7 days, and as they grow older, they can be raised together.
3. Daily Management
As mentioned earlier, wild ducks love water, especially ducklings, so it is essential to ensure proper water access. Generally, after the ducklings grow for about a week, they can be allowed to swim. Adjust the frequency and time of swimming according to the age of the ducks and factors such as environmental temperature. After swimming, the ducks should be dried before being returned to the coop to prevent wetting the padding. After about two months, the wings of the ducklings have gradually formed, and they have learned to fly. At this time, check whether the fences around the coop are intact to prevent them from flying away, keeping the height at about two meters for easy management and capture.
4. Disease Prevention and Control
Common diseases in wild ducks include epizootic diseases and aspergillosis. Disease prevention mainly focuses on prevention and should not be mixed with other poultry in the coop. Do not feed moldy or spoiled feed to prevent ducks from being poisoned. Medicinal herbs like honeysuckle can be added to the feed to enhance the disease resistance of wild ducks. Regularly disinfect the coop to improve ventilation and follow the process for vaccination to prevent various epidemics. In case of abnormal conditions, promptly identify the cause and provide symptomatic treatment.
