How to raise half-Mull ducklings

Muscovy ducklings are relatively easy to raise. First of all, the temperature must be controlled. The newly purchased Muscovy ducklings cannot be raised in an environment lower than 32 degrees. The actual situation depends on the reaction of the Muscovy ducklings. It is not enough to just rely on the temperature.

When the temperature is suitable, the ducklings will gather together in small groups to sleep, looking very comfortable and not anxious. When the temperature is too high, the ducklings will spread their wings, stay away from heat sources, and drink water frequently.

3. How to raise breeding ducks and ducklings?

Ducklings can start eating one day after hatching. Before starting to eat, they need to drink warm water, and an appropriate amount of glucose and vitamin C can be added to the drinking water. The first feed should be half-cooked rice, which should be spread on the bamboo mat and allowed to be pecked freely by the ducklings. Feed 6 to 8 times a day.

After 4 days, change to boiled wheat or complete feed, feed 4-5 times a day. After 15 days, feed 3 times a day. After 3 days of feeding, add animal protein feed, chop small fish, shrimp, river clams, crabs, earthworms, etc. and mix them with the feed to feed.

In addition, ducklings should be fed an appropriate amount of green feed. The green vegetables can be chopped and mixed into the food or directly sprinkled on the bamboo mat for them to eat freely.

Additional information:

Ducks are waterfowl, and letting ducklings go into the water can promote their activity and increase their food intake. Therefore, they should be trained to go into the water 5 days after hatching.

First, put in a "small amount of water", and the temperature should not be too low, and the depth should be deep enough to wet the duck's feet, twice a day, each time should not exceed 10 minutes; then gradually increase the water depth and time. When should the ducklings go into the "big water" (river, pond, etc.)

It depends on the weather and temperature. When it is sunny and warm, you should insist on going into the water every day. When it is rainy and the temperature is low, you don't need to go into the water. After going ashore, let the ducklings comb their feathers and dry them in a windless and warm place before driving them back to the duck house.

4. How big of a duckling is easier to raise?

It is difficult to raise ducks that are too small. They should be at least ten days to one month old. Adult ducks are easier to raise. Moreover, adult ducks can find food by themselves and are less likely to get sick.

It takes 6 months to raise the ducks. The time to sell the ducks depends on the breed. Meat ducks are usually sold at around 40 days old, weighing 2-3kg when they are released. Mallards (local ducks) usually take 70 days. If they are raised beyond this time, the ducks will eat more but grow more slowly, and will gradually lose money.

5. How to raise Call ducklings?

1. Prepare equipment

You need to prepare an incubator, thermometer, ceramic lamp, food and water bowl, pet urine pad, drinking water, glucose, duck food, etc.

2. Temperature lighting

(1) Temperature: 1-3 days old, the temperature is 37.3-30 degrees; 4-7 days old, the temperature is 28-26 degrees; 8-14 days old, the temperature is 24-22 degrees; after 15 days old, the temperature is above 20 degrees, and weaning is gradually completed. Avoid large fluctuations in temperature in the brooding room.

(2) Humidity: On the 1st to 3rd day, the appropriate relative humidity in the brooding room is 65-70%, which is close to the humidity inside the machine when the ducklings are hatched. This prevents the ducklings from losing a large amount of water in their bodies due to breathing dry air, which would affect the normal function of the body. Then gradually reduce the ambient humidity.

(3) Ventilation: It should not be stuffy, but also prevent drafts and temperature fluctuations from causing colds and poor growth in ducklings.

3. Drinking water

(1) Boiled water: Ducklings must drink water within 12 hours after hatching. A small amount of glucose and vitamin C (available at pharmacies) can be added to the water.

(2) Feeding: Within 12 hours after the ducklings hatch, prepare the ducklings’ starter feed. The “feed less and more often” system should be adopted, that is, feed them 7 to 8 times a day. The amount of each feed is very small, but the ducklings must be full. Choose starter feed and cooked egg yolks.

4. Launch

Putting ducklings in water can promote their activities and increase their food intake. Therefore, they should be trained to go in water 5 days after hatching. Put the ducklings in a small basin with the water temperature equivalent to that of the brooding room and the depth to wet the ducklings' feet. Do this twice a day for no more than 10 minutes each time. Then gradually increase the water depth and the time. Depending on the weather and temperature, when the weather is warm and there is no wind, you can take the ducklings to a larger clean water area for exercise.

5. Hygiene

The brooding boxes and swimming basins should be frequently changed, cleaned and disinfected. Keep them clean and dry. The food bowls and water containers should be frequently washed and disinfected to reduce the chances of pathogens surviving and multiplying.

6. How to raise ducklings well?

Methods and steps.

Feeding, if we want to raise ducklings well, we need to feed them with feed, because it is difficult for ducklings to find food by themselves, we can only feed them with feed and let them grow up. Generally, they need to be fed three times a day. This is what we must do well.

Let it go swimming

We don't need to keep ducklings in captivity all the time. We need to let them out to swim. Ducks like to play in the water and catch some plankton, which we need. We must know that keeping them in captivity will cause them to grow very slowly.

Feed water

Normally we should not feed ducklings with feed, but rather feed them with water. In fact, water is also very important. We usually feed them with cold boiled water, so that the ducklings are less likely to have diarrhea after drinking water. We need to pay special attention to this.

Warm protection

We also need to keep the ducklings warm, because their immunity is still very poor. Only by keeping them warm can they grow well. Generally, we put some straw in the duck house to keep them warm.

Cleaning the Duck House

We must clean the ducklings' tongues regularly. This is very important because ducklings have poor immunity. If they are not cleaned, they will easily get sick. Generally, they need to be cleaned once a week.

Sick and taking medicine

It is very common for ducklings to get sick. It is rare that all the ducklings will survive. When ducklings get sick, we need to feed them medicine in time. Don't expect the ducklings to recover on their own. That is very difficult. This is what we need to know.

7. Which season is best for raising laying ducklings?

Ducklings are small and prone to illness, so they must be carefully raised at a suitable temperature. Generally, the temperature in spring is suitable for raising ducklings.

8. How long does it take for a red-headed duckling to grow up?

The time when ducks are ready for market depends on the breed. Meat ducks are usually ready for market at around 40 days old, weighing 2-3 kg. Mallards (local ducks) are usually ready for market at around 70 days old. Ducks that are ready for market after this time will eat more but grow more slowly, which will gradually lead to losses. What to feed ducks is up to the farmers, but feeding them complete feed is definitely the most ideal in terms of growth rate and feed-to-meat ratio.

9. How long does it take for ducklings to lay eggs?

Ducks lay eggs at night. They swim during the day and cannot lay eggs in the water. Let them go outdoors to forage for food for about 12 months.

10. When can ducklings be raised?

The appropriate season for raising ducks varies by region and species. Generally speaking, the best season for raising ducks in rural areas is spring, which is around March.

In the south, spring ducks, summer ducks and autumn ducks are the main breeding species. Spring ducks start to sow from March to May. During the breeding period, the climate is suitable and the feed is abundant, which is conducive to the growth and development of the ducks and their sexual maturity.

Summer ducks hatch from May to July, and their survival rate is relatively high. The temperature is high during the brooding period, making them easy to raise. Autumn ducks are generally raised 15-30 days before the beginning of autumn. They can be raised in late rice fields for grazing, with a long grazing time, and consume less feed than spring ducks and summer ducks.
