Correct Methods and Technical Key Points for Restricted Feeding of Breeding Ducks

Restricted feeding of breeding ducks can prevent premature maturity. During the period from 0 to 28 days of age, ducklings are generally not restricted in feeding; during the period from 5 to 18 weeks of age, restricted feeding should be carried out, that is, according to the feeding standards for meat-type breeding ducks and the growth and development of the breeding ducks, determine the feeding amount for the breeding ducks, and gradually reduce the protein content in the feed from 20% to about 16%; after 18 weeks of age until the start of laying (about 26 weeks), feed should be supplemented in a timely manner, increasing the protein in the feed and increasing the feeding amount day by day.
