1. Insulation in place
The temperature of the newborn ducklings is slightly lower than that of ducks by 1.5°C. It is not until 15 days of age that they can regulate their own body temperature. When the temperature is low, artificial warming is required. The most suitable temperature: 1 day of age - 3 days of age 32 °C -30 °C, 4 days of age -10 days of 29 °C -27 °C, 11 days of age -17 days of age 26 °C - 23 °C, 18 days of age -25 days of age 22 °C -20 °C, after 26 days of age should not be less than 18 °C.
2. Drinking water in time
It is advisable to start eating after drinking water, and it is generally advisable to eat at least 24 hours after hatching. Ducklings should master the principles of "drinking water early, eating early, drinking water first, and eating after lunch". Ducklings can drink 5% glucose water within 24 hours after hatching.
3. Eat on time
After getting out of the shell, the duckling does not need to be fed on the first day so that it can absorb and use the yolk in the abdomen. If the duckling dries after the second day, it can stand and swim in the duck bar. One-third of the ducklings resemble in shape. In the feeding state, the hand-tested ducklings stretch their necks and open their mouths to buzz, squeak and squeak. At this time, they can eat. About 1 hour after drinking, you can start eating. For the first time, you can use crushed corn, crushed black beans, crushed brown rice, etc., and boil the above feed into the clear water and dip it. Feeds that are fed for the first time are required to be free from raw, hard, hot, rotten and sticky. The second time you can switch to the whole duck pellet feed.
4. Scientific feeding
Place two pieces of plastic film on the ground, put a piece of feed on one side, raise the other piece around, put 2 cm of water in the middle, and then lead the duck to the water to learn the action of feeding. After it pulls the excrement, let the duck put the feed. Free food on the plastic film so that it does not foul the feed. Spread the feed on a tarpaulin or a plastic sheet. Spread it evenly, scatter and sip and eat. The feed is fresh, the drinking water is clean, the trough and the drinking trough are kept clean.
5. Discharge management
Use a tub to hold half an inch of deep water. It is advisable to immerse the duck's feet in water. Put the ducklings in and let them stand in shallow water for about 5 minutes. Note that the release of water within 12 weeks does not soak the duck's fluff to avoid freezing. After the water is drained, allow the duck to rest on the playground and wait until the fluff is dry to rush into the nest. With the increase of the age, it is appropriate to extend the water release time until all-weather grazing in the fields, rivers, lakes and other waters.
6. Make up the green material
From the third day of duckling hatching, 10-20% of the green feed should be gradually added to the daily feed. The green feed should be chopped and mixed with rice, or the green feed should be sprinkled on the water to allow the ducklings to collect freely. food. Often feed green materials such as: leaves, aquatic plants, duckweed and so on.
7. Feeding "foraging"
As the saying goes: “The goose should be green, the duck must be squeaky,†and “the duckling feeds half the grain, and the duckling eats it and it grows.†On the third day after hatching, the ducklings are given 10%-20% of the animal feed, such as snails, small fish, cockroaches, and cocoons. It is also possible to fish or feces, feed, or catch a piece of bibimbap with chopped bone and blood. Can also be fed with 5% of fish meal bibimboli for half a month.
8. Feeding "Open Valley"
When ducklings are raised for 25 days, they can gradually feed “Open Valley†instead of rice. The open valley is a day in which rice is soaked in water. The next day, the grain is boiled until it is half open. The method of feeding: On the first day, use two portions of rice to “open the valley†and mix well. The second day is the same. On the third day, one grain of rice is used in the second valley. On the fourth day, you can eat the millet.
9. Eat fewer meals
In the 7 days, feed six times a day, ie every 3 hours during the day and every 6 hours in the evening; after 7 days, feed 5 times a day, ie every 4 hours from 6 a.m. and after 10 p.m. Put it back into the bar; feed it 4 times during the day and do not feed it at night; it can be reduced to 3 times per day after 20 days. 250 animals per group are suitable.
10. Lighting Management
Light ducklings were given 24 hours of light on the 3rd day before going into the house, and halved on the 4th day after each day. The ducklings should be gradually adapted to the light-out system, and they should be turned off at midnight and turned on at 5:00 a.m. in the morning. The light intensity is suitable for ducks to see clearly.
