What are the requirements for the environmental sanitation of duck farms?

Establishing a microclimate suitable for ducks and making them give full play to their production potential mainly depends on the building structure and sanitary requirements of duck houses. During the design, duck farms are required to have good thermal insulation and ventilation performance, which can discharge dirty and humid air in the house, be warm in winter and cool in summer, be moisture-proof, be easy to clean and disinfect, and preferably have a cement floor. The structure and materials should be durable, adapt to local conditions and use local materials as much as possible, which is conducive to epidemic prevention and health and safe production. The site should be selected according to the following requirements.

(1) The transportation volume of feed and products in the field is large, which requires convenient transportation and relatively remote epidemic prevention and health. Therefore, the address of the duck farm should be far away from the main roads, railways, pesticide plant, chemical plants, slaughterhouses and other poultry farms to prevent acoustic stress and avoid the spread of infectious diseases and sewage pollution, but it should be close to places with convenient transportation. If equipped with incubator, it is also required to ensure power supply.

(2) Terrain and soil duck houses should be located in the north-south or southeast direction. Try not to occupy flat cultivated land, choose gentle slope area, the terrain is well drained, ventilated, sunny and dry, and the soil is preferably sandy soil with good water permeability. To build a site near rivers and lakes, the site should be 1 ~ 2 meters higher than the highest water level of local hydrological data over the years to prevent floods. When building fields in mountainous areas, we should pay attention to avoid faults, landslides and landslides, and do not build fields at the bottom of slopes, valleys and tuyeres to avoid being attacked by flash floods and snowstorms.

(3) The water source is an important place for ducks to move, bathe and mate. It is necessary to make full use of places with natural waters, which can reduce the area of land activities, and at the same time, ducks and fish can be raised together to improve economic benefits. The water source should be sanitary and pollution-free, preferably tap water, and the shore has a certain slope for ducks to go up and down freely. In areas where water resources are scarce or seriously polluted, artificial shallow pools can be built and tap water or groundwater can be used.
