What are the skills in choosing the address of duck farm, and what impact will the choice of duck farm have on duck farming?

First, the duck house should be built in a high and dry place, and the location should be slightly higher than the surrounding area to avoid water accumulation. It is best to slightly incline to the water surface, with a slope of 5 ~ 10, which is convenient for drainage. The quality should not be too sticky, and it is best to have sand that dries easily after rain. Special attention must be paid to the construction of duck farms in low-lying areas with poor drainage and easy flooding. Second, the water quality is good and the water source is sufficient. As waterfowl, ducks need a lot of water in their daily life. They need water for their daily activities, bathing, etc. Moreover, even mating and reproduction are inseparable from boiling water, so the water sports ground is more important for ducks. Duck houses are generally built on the banks of rivers, lakes, ditches and ponds. The water surface is as wide as possible, and the water depth is between 1 ~ 1 ~ 2m, so the water wave is small. When raising ducks on the river, you should avoid choosing the main channel to avoid disturbing the ducks and causing pressure.

Water source should be pollution-free. There are no pollution sources such as livestock and poultry processing plants, chemical plants and pesticide plant near the duck farm, nor can they be too close to residential areas. Should be built as far as possible in the upstream of factories and towns. Large duck farms had better dig deep wells by themselves to ensure water quality. For example, the number of Escherichia coli should not exceed 5000 per 100 ml of water. If the total amount of dissolved solids in water exceeds 290 mg/L, it is considered as polluted water. If the content of dissolved nitrate or nitrite in water exceeds 50mg/L, it is harmful to ducks, so it is necessary to find a new water source because there is no effective way to eliminate it. At the same time, even in the dry season, there should be enough water. Duck drinking water should be purified to meet the agricultural industry standard (NY5027-2008 "Water Quality of Pollution-free Food for Livestock and Poultry").

Third, the duck farm with convenient transportation is close to the main material distribution center, and there should be roads, waterways or railways to facilitate the transportation of products and feed and reduce transportation costs. However, it is not allowed to build farms near stations, docks or traffic arteries (roads or railways). Otherwise, it is not conducive to epidemic prevention and hygiene, and a quiet environment will affect the egg laying rate. ?

Fourth, the duck farm faces south. The duck house should be built in the north of the water source, and the duck beach and water sports ground should be placed in the south of the duck house so that the gate of the duck house is facing the water. The duck house facing south has the characteristics of good lighting and heat absorption in winter, ventilation in summer, but no sunshine, warm in winter and cool in summer. Is beneficial to improving the egg laying rate. If you can't find the terrain facing south, you can also face southeast or east, but you can't build a duck house facing west or north. Because of this house facing west, the sun room facing west in summer is as stuffy as a steamer, which not only affects egg laying, but also easily leads to the death of ducks from heatstroke. In winter, the temperature is low against the northwest wind, so ducks consume more materials and lay fewer eggs. Therefore, compared with the duck house facing south, the duck house facing northwest will also raise ducks, and the egg laying rate will drop by about 10%, with high mortality, high feed consumption and poor economic benefits.

Five, other conditions such as climate and coastal areas should consider the impact of typhoons, and it is not appropriate to build duck houses in places susceptible to typhoons; Duck coops should not be built in places with poor ventilation in summer, high temperature or strong wind in winter and vulnerable to cold current. Another example is the power supply. Duck farms must be illuminated at night, and the cost of electrified cables should be increased in areas without electricity. In areas with unstable power supply, frequent power outages are likely to cause pressure on ducks and affect the incubation of motors. Such as sewage treatment, waste treatment methods, the whereabouts of sewage and feces, etc. Before making duck sausage, you should also make a careful plan. Therefore, farmers should consider all factors when choosing duck farms, and must not settle in places that are not suitable for building duck farms, otherwise the breeding will fail!
