How to raise Linwu ducks? Key points of breeding technology and feeding management
The Linwu duck is one of the top ten famous ducks in China, and its breeding history is very long. The Linwu duck grows quickly, has a high meat and egg production rate, and also has a relatively high feed conversion rate. It has effects such as beautifying the skin and reducing internal heat, and nourishing yin and supplementing yang. It is mainly distributed in Hunan Province, China, and has a large consumer base. So how should Linwu ducks be raised? Below, the editor brings you the breeding technology for Linwu ducks. Let's take a look!
1. Site selection and coop construction
The breeding site for Linwu ducks should be selected in places with ponds, lakes, etc., far away from noisy and polluted areas such as urban districts and factories. Then build the duck coop. The duck coop should consist of areas such as an exercise yard, a rest area, and a water area. Keep the height of the duck coop at about two meters to ensure good ventilation. Prevent moisture in the duck coop from breeding pathogens. Then the exercise area should have certain shading measures and be connected to the water area, ensuring a certain slope to make it convenient for Linwu ducks to enter the water. Finally, set up netting around the duck coop to prevent the ducks from escaping.
2. Selection of breeding ducks
The selection of breeding ducks is the most critical step in raising Linwu ducks. When selecting breeding ducks, they must be purchased from formal Linwu duck farms with a valid license. Ensure the breeding ducks are robust and free from diseases and pests, and keep the age of the breeding ducks at about 3 months. In appearance, Linwu ducks should have advantages such as glossy feathers, even distribution, and strong vitality. Then pay attention to controlling the male-to-female ratio of the breeding ducks, generally about 15 female ducks to 1 male duck. Finally, control the breeding quantity according to your own conditions and the area of the duck coop, and do not raise them too densely.
3. Feeding management
The feeding management of Linwu ducks is also very important, in order to ensure the growth ability and reproductive ability of the breeding ducks. When feeding, we should pay attention to feeding special feed from the market. Adjust the feeding amount according to the growth condition of the breeding ducks, and ensure the feed has balanced and comprehensive nutrition, able to fully meet the nutritional needs of the breeding ducks' growth. However, also pay attention to controlling the feeding amount to prevent overfeeding, which may cause the breeding ducks to overeat. If they are too fat, adverse phenomena such as not coming into estrus, unclear estrus, not mating, and low egg production rate may occur.
4. Free-range raising and immunization
The work of breeding ducks is mainly focused on reproduction, so we need to do a good job in free-range raising to encourage Linwu ducks to move, strengthen their physique, adjust their body shape, and improve their reproductive ability. During breeding, the duck coop must be disinfected at least once a day, and it must be comprehensive and thorough to reduce the base number of pathogens in the duck coop and prevent effects on the growth of Linwu ducks. Finally, according to various specific conditions such as immunization requirements and immunization procedures, do a good job in the immunization work for Linwu breeding ducks. Prevent epidemic diseases such as duck plague and avian influenza.
The above is a brief introduction to Linwu duck breeding technology. The breeding technology for Linwu ducks is actually not very different from that for ordinary duck breeds, but attention should be paid to doing a good job in hatching to ensure the reproduction rate, so as to effectively improve breeding benefits. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can be helpful to everyone!
