What are the traditional ways to make duck feed at home?

If they are ducklings, you can make feed with 50% corn, 20% rapeseed cake, 10% broken rice, 10% bran, 7.5% fish meal, 1% meat meal, 1% shell powder, and 0.5% salt. If they are growing ducks and fattening ducks, you can make feed with 50% corn, 17% wheat, 12% bran, 10% broken rice, 5% rapeseed cake, 4.5% fish meal, 1% shell powder, and 0.5% salt.

When feeding ducklings, prepare feed troughs and waterers so the ducklings can eat and drink. For newly hatched ducklings, you can use a feed tray measuring 60×35 cm with a rim height of 2.0-2.5 cm; for 2-week-old ducklings, you can feed them with a long trough or a round tray, with a trough depth of about 4-5 cm. For newly hatched ducklings, you can use an automatic waterer, and after 3 weeks switch to a drinking trough, with the water depth just enough to reach the duck's nostrils.

To ensure the ducks eat their fill and eat well, pay attention to feed blending and form a balanced daily ration. Grain feeds can be half powdered and half pelleted, or all powdered, mixed with other feeds and water to a dry-wet consistency and fed to them; fresh feeds must be cooked through, and green feed must be fresh. Feeding should be done at fixed times, generally three times a day, in the morning, at noon, and in the evening. In summer, you can feed earlier and delay the evening feeding.
