How to breed a duck duck

First, it's essential to scientifically select the various nutrients required during the growth phase of young ducks in their feed. The diet should be diverse to ensure a balanced intake of energy and protein. It's important that the protein level isn't too high, and calcium content should be appropriate. In practice, the nutrient levels should be adjusted based on the duck's development—increasing or decreasing as needed. For example, with Shaoxing ducks, the typical onset of egg production is between 130 to 150 days, with an average weight of 1400–1500 grams. If the weight exceeds 1500 grams, feeding should be limited, and more green feed and roughage should be provided. Ducks that are underweight or not developing well should be given higher-quality feed, around 150 grams per day, along with a small amount of fresh animal feed. All young ducks are fed a mixed diet. Before each meal, fresh water should be added, and wet materials should be mixed in. Feed them 3–4 times a day at regular intervals. Second, management practices are crucial. 1. Encourage moderate exercise to promote bone and muscle development while preventing excessive fat buildup. Drive the ducks regularly for 5–10 minutes, 2–4 times a day. 2. Increase interaction with the ducks to build trust and prevent stress or fear. 3. Keep the lighting low throughout the night. Young ducks require 8–10 hours of daylight daily, and this should not be extended before the start of egg-laying. To help ducks drink at night and prevent disturbances from rats, use low-intensity lighting. A 30-watt bulb can be used in a 30-square-meter house. In case of power failure, a kerosene lamp should be used immediately. 4. Strengthen disease prevention measures. 5. Establish a consistent routine of work and rest. Based on the natural behavior of ducks, set up a schedule and procedures to maintain stability once established. Third, proper feeding and management during the egg-laying period are critical. 1. Early egg-laying (150–200 days old) and early stage (201–300 days old) require increased nutrient density and feeding frequency to meet the ducks’ needs and ensure a smooth peak in egg production. When the egg rate reaches 50%, add 10 grams of fishmeal per duck daily; increase to 15 grams when the rate hits 70%, and 18–20 grams when it exceeds 90%. This level is maintained afterward. Feeding frequency increases from 3 to 4 times a day—3 during the day and 1 at night. Light exposure should gradually increase from 14 hours per day. As egg size increases, so does the production rate, indicating good feeding and management. If the rate fluctuates or declines, check the feeding and adjust accordingly. Monitoring body weight monthly (fasted in the morning) helps assess feeding quality. If the average weight is close to the standard, feeding is adequate. If it’s above, reduce nutrients or increase coarse feed. If below, improve feed quality. 2. During the mid-egg-laying phase (301–400 days), focus on maintaining high productivity and extending the peak. Nutrient concentration should be slightly higher than before. Add 22 grams of fishmeal or 20% protein daily, provide 150 grams of feed, and include more green feed and calcium. Offer herbs at 150 grams per day or add multivitamins and 1–2% granular shell powder. Maintain 16 hours of light daily and keep the temperature between 5°C and 10°C. Adjust if necessary. A stable routine is key. If the eggs have smooth, thick, and shiny shells, it indicates good quality. However, if the shells become thin, translucent, or soft, it may indicate poor feed quality, especially low calcium or vitamin D. If egg-laying occurs consistently around 2 AM and eggs are uniform, it shows proper management. Otherwise, take corrective actions. 3. In the late laying phase (401–500 days), focus on adjusting feed quality and quantity based on the duck's weight and egg production rate. If the rate remains above 80% but the weight decreases, add some animal feed. If the weight increases, reduce metabolic energy or control feed intake. If the weight is normal, slightly increase crude protein compared to the previous stage. Maintain 16 hours of light daily and move the ducks three times a day for 5–10 minutes each time. Monitor eggshell mass and weight, and supplement with cod liver oil and minerals. Keep the microclimate and daily routines in the duck house stable to avoid stress.
