Preparing the house and equipment for raising duck eggs

1. Area for raising ducklings and young ducks 6-8 per sq m.

2. Area for raising duck eggs 3 – 4 per sq m.

3. Area in the house The farming area is divided as follows:

4. Eating area and rest area about 50% of the house

5. Egg area about 20% of the house

6. The courtyard outside the house has a pond or trough for ducks to drink and play about 30% of the area.

The process of preparing the house for duck eggs

1. For a new house, it must be cleaned and checked so that there are no things that are dangerous to the ducks such as sharp materials, but the houses that have been raising ducks before Sewage, foundation material must be cleaned out of the house as much as possible.

2. Clean the house and rearing equipment with clean water and spray disinfectant to kill insects both inside and outside the house thoroughly.

3. For the ducklings Put a foundation material that is dry and clean, such as rice husk, about 1 – 2 inches thick, and install a duckling device. Barriers surround the duckling area. Equipment for water, food, and curtain surrounds. to prevent gusts of wind and rain

4.For the ducks during the productive stage Always put on a clean, dry substrate, especially in the egg area.

Spray disinfectant and insecticide again.

6. If the old flock of ducks is released, there should be at least 21 days of stay at the house according to the regulations of the Department of Livestock Development.

Management of egg-laying ducklings, brooding stage 1 – 7 days old

In brooding ducklings, temperature management must be considered. Expansion of raising area and placement of feeding and watering equipment for ducklings to have a comfortable life. healthy

Adopting ducklings

Estimated ducklings taking into account the raising area of 6-8 birds per sqm.

permission to put ducklings by notifying the request to the district livestock before bringing the ducklings into a new rearing

Preparing for the adoption of ducklings

Prepare clean water in a water bottle. Food tray before the ducklings enter Turn on the brooding machine and adjust the temperature inside the brood to 320 C 2 hours before the ducklings enter.

receiving ducklings health check By looking at the appearance, if any ducklings are found to be weak, handicapped, blind, twisted neck, broken legs, crooked mouth, they are to be discarded and counted. and randomly weighed about 5-10% of the ducklings.

Brooding of ducklings

Temperature should be checked. the comfort of the ducklings And should expand the brooding area to fill the raising area at the age of ducklings 7-10 days.

Food handling

The yellow tray was used for the first 7 days by dividing the feed 3 times a day. The feed number for raising ducklings was 541 D-1, YC, 6548 YC and 521. Duckling weight during the first week was 150 g.

Water Management On the first day of embarking on ducklings, practice drinking water. by dipping the duckling’s beak in the water for the ducklings to drink water After the ducks are 4 days old, they begin to reduce the number of water bottles. and training the ducks to drink water from the nipple or various types of watering equipment

Weighing Finding the Consistency

is an indication to know that the weight of the duck egg generation Is it close to the

Standard each week ?

 In addition, the consistency of the duck flock is also important. If the uniformity in the herd is high, it will affect % eggs that will be high as well On the other hand, if the consistency is low, the egg % will be reduced, which may be corrected with consideration of increasing feed intake. food distribution speed and equipment for feeding

Why is it necessary to weigh or check, feeding and weighing duck eggs? The raising of duck eggs Or any animal if there is a system to check and check the growth will make the farming more quality. and has greatly improved productivity

Water management The water supply should be a trough and a floating ball in order to have water for the ducks to eat and not be dehydrated.

All the time during the duck generation Water is an important factor to ensure that it is sufficient. Because feeding is limited to once a day at this time, the duck will eat quickly and fill the stomach up to the esophagus. After eating, the ducks drink water at the same time. If the duck is dehydrated or the watering equipment is inadequate, it will cause the duck to become stuck in the throat (niche) and damage it.

ovarian training When the ducks are 16 weeks old, the nest should be started to be put into the coop. to train the ducks to enter the nest

At night (21:00 – 6:00) should turn on the light to have a light intensity of about 5 Lux in the ovary area. and the ovary area should have a door It opens the door only when it is illuminated at night. and closed during the day so that ducks know when to lay eggs and prevent dirty eggs

Extermination of sexual ducks Usually in the selection of female duck eggs. There will be an approximate percentage of error.

0.5-1% (Selling ducklings and ducklings get 2% free) We can start culling ducks with the opposite sex at 5-7 weeks of age, but will start to become apparent at around 10 weeks. The body size is large, the head is large, the head area is brown or dark green. Dark brown chest hair Dark yellow mouth, fur on the bottom, and a hoarse cry. The disadvantage of not rejecting ducks with the wrong sex is Fresh duck eggs are infected. to keep it for a short time Including not suitable for processing as well

Should choose a young duck from a reliable source.

Detachment of ducks

Removing ducks is removing old ducks from the farm. to prepare a house for adopting a new flock of female ducks The release of ducks should be based on

maturity

cost-effectiveness of farming

market conditions

When it comes to catching ducks, the farm has the following procedures:

Fast for 3-4 hours before catching ducks.

The weight of the ducks was randomly drawn to find the average weight of the flock, approximately 1 – 2%.

herd the ducks with caution

Check the total number of ducks sold.
