How to cultivate ducklings

Tide hair: also known as test water or water. Ducklings must have a damp hair before eating. Usually on the day of purchase or on the second day, see the ducklings walk quickly and have foraging behavior. The method is to catch the ducklings in the basket, 30-50 each time. When the temperature is appropriate, put the duck basket directly into the river water, submerge the duck feet or the abdomen to touch the surface of the water, so that the ducklings drink some water. , swim 5-10 minutes to adapt to water. When ducklings are half damp, they can leave the water surface. In case of low temperatures, half-pot water in the duck shed can be used for tidal hair. For ducklings that do not experience furrows, the duck should be pressed into the water several times. Then, the ducklings should be placed on dry grass and dried in the sun or light to allow them to eat. Open food: The first feeding is called eating. Generally, the broken rice is boiled in boiling water for a while. Sheng Sheng is rinsed and drained with clean water. It is not raw, hard, not rotten, sticky, and not hot. It is sprinkled on plastic film or reeds to allow ducklings to be free. Eating. Ducklings should be opened on the 3rd day after they start eating. Feed some minced fish, river meat, quail, etc., wash the soil, immerse in boiling water for a while, and chop the minced rice and feed it. The green feed for young ducklings is dominated by eucalyptus leaf, narcissus or other tender green leaves in water plants, chopped and fed. Within one week after the start of eating, feeding a small amount of minced leeks or garlic sprouts can prevent gastrointestinal diseases and increase the survival rate. Insulation: ducklings within 7 days of age have poor body temperature regulation, and management can easily lead to death. The suitable temperature for growth of ducklings is about 29°C within 7 days, 25°C around 8-14 days, 20°C below 15-20 days, and 16°C below 22-28 days. Brooding under natural temperature conditions should be combined with group management, with the use of quilts, cotton wool, blankets and other insulation, especially at night or when the weather suddenly changes, must strengthen management to prevent cold or heat. Group management: Ducklings should be managed by small groups within 7 days of age, with about 50 individuals in each group. When entering the shed, rest in the grasshoppers, duck baskets or small bars surrounded by 3-4 layers of bricks to keep warm. After 7 days of age, the ducklings were divided into groups according to their size and strength, 80-100 pieces each, separated by a stack. When each group of ducks is promoted, check whether there is food in the enlarged esophagus. Unfed or semi-saturated ducks should be rid of separate feeding of concentrates and live food in order for the ducks to grow simultaneously. After 20 days of age, the trend of the group will be expanded day by day, and management of the combined sheds can be merged after 1 month of age. Prevention of stacking: Ducklings often sleep together at night to get together to sleep, weak chicks easily crushed, or heat "sweat" (duck and other poultry have no sweat glands, "sweat" is the exhaled vapor condensation in the hair on the Drops of water). The duck's tail gland is not yet well-developed, and it is easy to wet hair when it is released. In case of rainy days, it is easy to get sick and freeze and death should be suspended as much as possible. Feeding in a timely manner: Ducklings within 20 days of age are fed 6-7 times a day. From daytime to 23 o'clock; after 20 days of feeding, 5 times a day, from daylight to 20 o'clock, each interval is roughly equal. After feeding during the day, be sure to release water. After feeding at night, give water. Drain or drink water for 10-15 minutes each time, and then go to the bank and dry the hair to rest in the shed. In short, it is necessary to make ducklings full, drink enough, play happily, and avoid hungry impermanence. Others are guarding against animal pests such as rats, wild cats, and weasel. In order to prevent mosquitoes, bites and harassment, they can rest in summer. Smoke can be found outside the duck shed or non-toxic mosquito coils can be spotted inside the shed. In addition, it is necessary to prevent the sudden collapse and fire of utensils and even duck canals inside the shed.
