Key Points of Greenhouse Duck Farming Technology and a Detailed Explanation of Feeding and Management Methods
At present, duck farming in China includes various methods such as free-range, confined, and greenhouse farming. Many duck farmers have achieved very good farming benefits through greenhouse duck farming. Because greenhouse duck farming has characteristics such as low input and high output, it is still very popular. However, there are also many people whose immature farming technology has affected the growth of meat ducks. So today, the editor will briefly introduce the key points of greenhouse duck farming technology. Let's take a look!
1. Site Selection and Greenhouse Construction
When building a duck greenhouse, the choice of site is very important. It should be chosen and built in a place that is sheltered from the wind, has sufficient sunlight, good drainage and irrigation, sufficient water sources, and is high and dry. The height of the greenhouse should be maintained at about two meters, and the length and width of the greenhouse should be controlled according to the number of ducks being raised. When building the greenhouse, the supports must be installed strictly according to requirements, and then uprights and firmly fixed supports should be set up. After the greenhouse is built, attention should be paid to laying straw curtains on the roof surface, and a layer of film should also be covered over the straw curtains. At the same time, a sunshade net of about 75% should be set up. The sunshade net should have good rolling ability, making it convenient to receive sunlight and carry out ventilation work.
2. Environment Inside the Greenhouse
When raising meat ducks inside the greenhouse frame, if it faces the sun in winter, then from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. every day, about 1/3 of the straw curtains should be rolled up so that the ducks can receive sunlight. The temperature inside the greenhouse should be maintained at about 19 degrees, and in the morning and evening every day the straw curtains should be covered well to maintain the house temperature and reduce farming input. When encountering rainy or snowy days, the greenhouse should be fully covered, and then according to factors such as temperature, humidity, and air quality inside the greenhouse, ventilation and air exchange should be carried out irregularly. It should be noted that the greenhouse must remain sturdy and durable, and should be properly ventilated. The ducks must not be kept in a closed environment for a long time, so as to avoid the meat ducks being suffocated.
3. Feeding Preparation
After preparing the greenhouse, we should then do a good job in feeding preparation. Before feeding, a feeding plan should be made, and the brooding room, feeding greenhouse, feeding equipment and tools, etc. should be prepared. Then a comprehensive and thorough disinfection of the brooding room should be carried out, and the disinfection method can mainly be fumigation disinfection. The fumigation disinfectant uses formalin and potassium permanganate. Keep it sealed and fumigated for about one day, then open the doors and windows to release the fumigation gas. Then ensure that the heating equipment and ventilation equipment can be used normally. Before the ducklings arrive, the brooding room should be properly heated, and the temperature should be controlled within the suitable range for brooding.
4. Daily Management
When farming ducks in greenhouses, according to the growth condition of the ducks, the temperature, humidity, light, etc. in the greenhouse should be adjusted well. Ventilation work should also be done well to maintain the air quality inside the greenhouse. At the same time, it is also necessary to ensure that the ducks have sufficient drinking water. Feed that is moldy and spoiled must never be used, and high-quality feed should be the main type used. At the same time, the sanitation work in the duck greenhouse should be done well, with soft and dry bedding, and feed that does not clump, creating a good growth space for the ducks. At the same time, epidemic prevention work should also be done strictly according to procedures. If there are sick or dead ducks, harmless treatment should be carried out in a timely manner to avoid spreading viruses.
The above is a brief introduction to the key points of greenhouse duck farming technology. That is all for today's introduction. This article is for reference only, and I hope it can help everyone!
