When selecting raw materials for laying duck feed formulas, they should be easy to handle. The feed raw materials are required to have stable quality, sufficient quantity, suitable price, and local resource advantages. The feed should be kept fresh. To prevent the feed from becoming moldy and deteriorating, the feed should be stored in a dry place, and the feed should not be stored inside the duck house.

Rational use of feed additives

The main components of additives include amino acids, vitamins and minerals, etc. Data confirms that by adding 80 grams of methionine and 50 grams of lysine to 50 kg of conventional laying duck daily ration, fish meal can be reduced from about 4 kg to about 2 kg, while egg production, egg weight, etc. will not be affected. Vitamin additives can completely replace the nutritional function of green feed, not only supplementing vitamins, but also saving a large amount of green feed, reducing the labor intensity of duck farmers, and lowering the production cost of duck farming.
