Duck breeding market has broad prospects. What are the technical points of raising ducks efficiently?

Duck breeding is a traditional sideline project, which is widely distributed in rural areas and has a large amount of breeding. It is characterized by less feed, less labor, easy reproduction and high economic value. What kind of ducks to raise should be decided according to natural conditions and economic use. The varieties of ducks in China can be divided into several types according to their sources, such as Ma duck, Beijing duck and Xiang duck, and can be divided into three types according to their production purposes: egg, meat and livestock. Among duck breeds, Jinding duck is an excellent representative of laying duck. Small, light and strong, with reddish brown feathers, early maturity and high yield, weighing about three to four kilograms, and can lay up to 300 eggs a year. It is also hardworking and diligent in foraging, which is very suitable for grazing. So today, let's take a look at the broad market prospect of raising ducks. What are the technical points of raising ducks efficiently?

1. Choose a good duck breed.

For farmers, ducks are easy to breed, so many farmers will choose their favorite varieties according to their hobbies, and ducks are easy to feed. However, in order to earn more economic benefits, many farmers choose to breed meat ducks. Because of this breed, it grows more meat and grows faster. Mainly to save feed and some expenses.

2. Choose a place with good water quality and sufficient water.

Generally speaking, water source is the first consideration in building duck houses. The water source should be pollution-free, not too close to residential areas, away from chemicals, pesticides and livestock and poultry processing. It should be selected by rivers, lakes, ponds and canals, with a water depth of about 1 m and a wide water surface. The best water source is mainly slow-flowing living water. For example, large duck farms can dig deep wells by themselves to ensure water quality. The water quality must be sampled and checked, and the coliform group in general water shall not exceed 5000.

3. The terrain is high and dry, with good drainage.

Although ducks can live in water, they should be kept dry, not wet and not flooded. Therefore, the duck house site should be slightly higher and slightly inclined to the water surface, with at least a small slope of 5- 10 to facilitate drainage. To build farmland in mountainous areas, it is not suitable to build it on the top of the mountain with too large temperature difference between day and night, or in deep depressions with poor ventilation and humidity. It should be built halfway up the mountain. The slope of the hillside should not be too steep, nor should it be rugged; Low-lying and humid places are easy to encourage the growth of pathogenic microorganisms, and ducks are easy to get sick.
