The management of laying ducks is different because of the cold weather in winter. What are the technical points of feeding and management of laying ducks in winter?

The optimum temperature for laying ducks is about 65438 03-20℃. Too low or too high a temperature will reduce the laying. In winter, farmers must keep their houses warm, check and repair duck houses, and hang straw curtains to keep warm. When it is cold, they should pay attention to close the doors and windows, keep the grass dry and change it in time. In the evening, before the ducks enter the house, new grass should be added to the nest where they lay eggs.

2. Strengthen nutrition

In winter, laying ducks will consume more nutrients than usual in order to keep their body temperature. Therefore, laying ducks should be supplemented with nutrition in winter, especially protein feed, such as animal protein feed, plant protein feed and mineral feed.

3, increase the necessary heat energy feed.

In winter, laying ducks need higher energy. Farmers should appropriately increase the proportion of energy feeds such as corn, rice, bran and bean cakes, and pay attention to increasing green feeds such as fresh Chinese cabbage and carrots.

4, often "dry duck"

Ducks are free-range animals. When they are kept in captivity, their activity should be artificially increased. They drive ducks in circles every day, which can prevent them from being overweight, enhance their ability to keep out the cold, promote them to lay more eggs, and leave the sports ground as large as possible. Walk slowly when drying ducks to avoid being scared. When the weather is too cold, dry the ducks when they are released from the shed in the morning to prevent them from catching a cold suddenly.

5, add light

There is little natural light in winter, so it needs artificial lighting. Generally, 40-watt light bulbs are hung 1 duck house every 30 square meters, 2 meters from the ground, with lampshades. Turn on the light to fill the light, usually at 5-8 o'clock every night and at 4-7 o'clock the next morning, and ensure that the lighting time is not less than 16 hours.

6. Disease prevention

At ordinary times, we should pay attention to environmental hygiene, keep the duck house dry and clean, keep the straw mat from mildew, and remove feces in time. Duck sheds should be disinfected frequently, usually 7- 15 days 1 time. While paying attention to the hygiene of feed and drinking water, antibiotics should be added to feed and drinking water in a timely and proper amount according to the situation of ducks to prevent diseases.
