How to choose ducklings when buying?

In recent years, with the development of various pastries, mooncakes and other food industries, the demand for duck egg yolks has also increased. Therefore, more and more people are raising laying ducks. However, some people who have just entered the laying duck farming industry sometimes feel confused. Faced with the complicated laying duck breeds on the market, they don’t know which one to raise. Next, let’s take a look at how to correctly choose the duckling breed?

How to choose ducklings when buying?

1. Purchase method

There are many ducklings vendors selling ducklings in the market. In this case, most of the ducklings do not meet the standards. Farmers usually do large-scale breeding, so the number of ducklings required is relatively large. They can go to formal places that have passed the inspection of relevant national departments to select ducklings. The survival rate of ducklings selected in this way will be higher and they are also easy to raise.

2. Duckling Varieties

Ducklings should generally be selected from ducklings born by the parent generation, rather than ducklings born by commercial generations. In the later breeding process of ducklings born by commercial generations, you will find that their growth rate is very slow, the fattening effect is not good, and some even die in large numbers when they are ducklings, causing heavy losses.

3. Four things to look at when preparing ducklings

When selecting ducklings, the four-look principle is a very important criterion for selecting ducklings. First, we need to see whether the duckling's eyes can open normally. If the eyes are dull and without luster, such ducklings are unqualified. Secondly, we need to see whether the duckling's mouth and limbs are red, moist and smooth. If they are relatively dry, such ducklings are also unqualified. Another thing is to look at the duckling's belly button. The belly button should be clean and there should be no feces and eggshells on it. Finally, look at the duck's feet. The duck's feet should be relatively moist, not dehydrated, and they should be strong when standing.

4. Duckling price

When we buy ducklings, we mainly consider high-quality ducklings with reasonable prices, so we should make the right choice within the acceptable range of economic ability, and never be greedy for small bargains. If we are greedy for cheapness, we will easily buy sick ducks, ducks with acne, old ducks, commercial first-generation ducks, second-generation ducks, etc. These are all bad ducklings.

The above is an introduction to the method of selecting high-quality duckling breeds. Generally, when raising ducks, you should choose breeds suitable for the local area, and then select high-quality ducklings, so as to ensure the survival rate and growth of later breeding.
