Raising ducks in orchards, combining planting and breeding, allows fruit trees and ducks to live together for mutual benefit, reducing the cost of planting and breeding and increasing the economic returns of the planting and breeding operation. The key technical points are described below: Stocking time. According to the feed resources available in the orchard, duck raising in orchards is divided into a period focused on free-range grazing and a period focused on confinement. The most suitable grazing period is when plants and animals in the orchard are growing most vigorously, generally from mid-April (after Qingming and before Guyu) to the end of October. At this time, forage grass in the orchard grows lushly and there is plenty of residual fruit-tree by-product, so ducks can feed on various kinds of green grass, wild vegetables and fallen flowers, leaves and fruit and other plant-based feed, as well as various insect eggs, pupae, insects and low-flying insects near the ground and other animal-based feed.

Ostrich Farming Techniques: Key Points for the Feeding and Management of Breeding Ostriches
(1) Feed: Artificially raised breeding ostriches should be given a balanced daily ration according to the nutritional requirements of breeding ostriches.

Breeding ostriches are most prone to deficiencies in fat-soluble vitamins and trace elements such as iodine, iron and zinc. However, feed high in fat should not be given in excess, because ostriches have no gallbladder and therefore a poor ability to absorb fat. In particular, the energy supply must not be too much, to prevent breeding ostriches from becoming obese and gaining weight, which leads to a drop in the laying rate or even a stop in laying.
