一、Suggestions from egg duck breeding equipment manufacturers: pay attention to uniformity

The uniformity needs to be paid attention to from the hatching of the ducklings, and the early stage is more important than the later stage, and the uniformity of the skeleton is more important than the uniformity of body weight. The purpose of controlling the uniformity is to allow the ducks to lay eggs at the same time. Do not ignore the evaluation of the body condition of the laying ducks and blindly pursue body weight. uniform, it would be counterproductive. Don't blindly think that the uniformity is controlled during the breeding period. On the day the ducklings arrive, they should pay attention to the uniformity and evaluate the uniformity.

二、Suggestions from egg duck breeding equipment manufacturers: ensure that the ducklings are in good condition

It is recommended that manufacturers continuously improve the equipment on the vehicle for transporting chicks, improve the comfort of the ducks in the carriage, prevent heat stress, and reduce road losses. If conditions permit, the inspection of maternal antibodies and drug sensitivity test should be done to judge the situation of this group of laying ducks and arrange medication correctly and reasonably.

三、Suggestions from egg duck breeding equipment manufacturers: do a good job of drinking water and food for ducklings

1. Eat and drink at the same time

Drinking water and eating are carried out at the same time, let the ducklings decide whether to eat the feed or drink the water first. In the actual feeding process, the ducklings are more interested in the feed than the water.

2. Use pellets

Feed pellets should not be too large or too fine. It is recommended to use brooding pellets. Round ones are better. Some manufacturers use water-soaked millet as a starter.

3. There are many feeding places

There should be as many feeding places as possible. In addition to the normal feeding tray, you can also increase the use of newspapers and sprinkle material on the carton to promote the feeding of the ducklings. The number of drinking fountains should be sufficient, and the ducklings within 50cm can eat and drink smoothly.

4. Gradually expand the column

Because the activities of ducklings increase with the increase of age, it is recommended to adopt a feeding method of gradually expanding the brooding area, which is beneficial to increase the ability of the ducks to adapt to the environment.

5. Check the crop

The crop inspection is carried out about 8 to 12 hours after the ducklings are placed in the duck house, and the ducks that do not eat and drink water, or the ducks that have no feed and only drink water, are picked out and raised separately. For some serious dehydration The duck flock can take artificial drinking water.

四、 egg duck breeding equipment manufacturers: pay attention to uniform body condition

Uniform body condition means uniform skeleton development and uniform sexual maturity, which can be done in two stages.

Stage 1: It is 4 to 12 weeks old. The ducks are grouped according to the weight of the flock, and then they are fed to achieve an even weight. 4 to 12 weeks is an important stage for the development of the skeleton of the duck flock. At this stage, do not develop large and thin ducks and ducks. Little fat duck.

Stage 2: 16 to 24 weeks is the key time for the sexual maturity of the duck group. At this time, we can see from the animal husbandry that this stage is the stage of the development of the reproductive system, and we cannot blindly pursue uniform body weight and reduce the growth of large ducks. Heavy.

五、Suggestions from egg duck breeding equipment manufacturers: reduce stress

Breeding ducks experience many stress factors in their life, such as weighing, group transfer, installation of scaffolding and egg-laying boxes, mixing of males and females, frequent, environmental changes, material change, lighting, etc. Therefore, scientific duck house management procedures should be strictly formulated and carefully implemented, the breeding environment conditions should be improved, the management before and after immunization should be strengthened, and the ducks should be disinfected regularly to keep the ducks healthy.

六、Suggestions from egg duck breeding equipment manufacturers: pay attention to detail management

1. Litter condition

In the process of feeding ducks, the thickness of the litter needs to be maintained, and it is also necessary to keep the litter flat to avoid unevenness, which is not good for the control of uniformity.

1. Illumination

Whether the light intensity during the breeding period is controlled at 5Lx, whether the light brightness is uniform, what the blackout effect is, and whether there is any light leakage, this requires the technical management personnel to observe and evaluate when inspecting the duck flock, find problems and solve them in time.

3. The number of ducks is accurate

The accurate number of ducks is the premise. It is related to the amount of material and the range of feeding. If the number is not accurate, it is obvious that the uniformity is not easy to control.

4. Uniform temperature

There must be a suitable temperature in the duck house, and avoid temperature fluctuations. A duck house should have a balanced temperature and good ventilation.
