Detailed Guide to Beijing Duck Farming Technology, Full Analysis of Scientific Breeding Methods

AbstractTo farm Beijing ducks, the first step is to build good duck houses. There must be a clean water source near the duck house, and the interior of the duck house should be well divided into zones. Then select high-quality ducklings that are healthy, have loud calls, and glossy feathers. During rearing, light should be maintained for 23 hours, drinking water must be fresh, and the food should mainly be fresh corn, soybean cake, wheat bran, etc. They can be fed using the principle of three meals a day.

1. Build the duck house. The location of the duck house is best chosen in a place with relatively convenient transportation, and there also needs to be a relatively clean water source nearby, and the drainage system should be good. When building the duck house, it can be divided into several zones: one is the brooding zone, one is the fattening zone, and there is also the breeding duck zone, etc. All equipment should be fully prepared, and disinfection work also needs to be done well.

2. Select ducklings. When selecting ducklings, be sure to pay attention to whether their calls are loud and clear. Generally, ducklings with loud and clear calls are more energetic. Check whether their down is glossy. Generally, clean and glossy ducklings are better ones.

3. Drinking water and first feeding. After ducklings are bought and brought home, careful rearing should begin. After the ducklings return home, do not rush to feed them. Give them water first, then feed them. They do not need much water, and foods such as crushed corn and broken brown rice can be used for feeding. For drinking water, glucose water is a relatively good choice.

4. Temperature and light. When ducklings are about seven days old, the indoor temperature needs to be maintained at around 31 degrees. At half a month, it needs to be maintained at around 29 degrees. At twenty-one days, it needs to be maintained at around 25 degrees. As for light, generally 23 hours of light per day is best, with one hour without light, in order to let them adapt to some effects brought by sudden power outages, so as to avoid causing them to panic.

5. Scientific feeding. After ducks are one month old, they can gradually be allowed to feed themselves, and by the time they are two months old, they can gradually be put out to range. The food is generally chosen from what they like to eat, mainly including corn, soybean cake, wheat bran, etc. The best feeding method is three meals a day, and the food also needs to stay fresh.

Daily Management of Beijing Ducks

In ordinary times, the management of the duck house should be done well, with timely disinfection and cleaning, to ensure the health of the ducks. During high temperatures in summer, cooling work inside should be done well. During low temperatures in winter, the inside of the duck house should be warmed, and timely ventilation is also needed to reduce bacterial breeding inside.
