What are the precautions for raising ducks in greenhouses?

At present, greenhouse farming is a well-known farming method, and greenhouse duck raising has also gained the favor of many duck farmers. One of the most important reasons is that it can achieve low cost and high output, but now many farmers report that a series of problems have appeared in the process of using greenhouse farming. So today let us take a look at what issues need attention when using greenhouse farming.

1. Greenhouse construction

Greenhouse construction is the most basic step in greenhouse farming. Many farmers have problems with greenhouse construction, leading to unimaginable consequences in later farming. The greenhouse should be built in an area close to a water source and free of pollution, preferably facing south with its back to the north, as this is most suitable for being warm in winter and cool in summer. Next, the height of the greenhouse is generally about 2.5 m, which is conducive to air circulation and the manager's handling and operations, and it should not be too high or too low. Finally, the angle between the greenhouse roof and the plastic film is best at 90 degrees.

2. Variety selection

China has many duck varieties, among which there are also relatively many excellent varieties. Varieties such as green-shell layer ducks, Beijing ducks, black water ducks, and Guifei ducks are all very good choices. Farmers can choose the best variety for breeding according to local climate conditions and market conditions combined with the greenhouse farming model.

3. Temperature regulation

In greenhouse farming, we generally only need to consider temperature regulation during high-temperature weather in summer. We all know that the temperature inside a greenhouse is generally relatively mild, while the natural outdoor temperature in summer is very high. If the temperature inside the greenhouse is not lowered, symptoms of heatstroke will occur. So in summer, it is necessary to maintain air circulation inside the greenhouse, avoid direct sunlight, and pay attention to ventilation, which can effectively achieve a cooling effect. At the same time, refrigeration equipment can be set up inside the greenhouse, or more water can be placed, and the cooling effect of this is also very good.

4. Avoid stress

Stress response is a very common phenomenon in duck flocks, and it directly affects the growth of the duck flock. In greenhouse farming, we must pay special attention to this point. When feeding, providing water, changing bedding, cleaning, and disinfecting, do not make too much movement and frighten the duck flock. If the duck flock is frightened, they will stop eating and drinking, leading to death by starvation.

5. Disease prevention and control

Disease prevention and control is also a very key point in greenhouse duck raising. First, we must pay attention to sanitation, cleaning, and disinfection in the greenhouse. Second, we must do a good job of vaccination. Also, in daily feeding, antibiotics are added to the feed, and through the feeding method, the purpose of enhancing physical condition and forming antibodies is achieved.

The above is what the editor has compiled for everyone about the precautions for raising ducks in greenhouses. Greenhouse duck raising is actually not very different from ordinary feeding, but do not ignore these small details, causing farming failure.
