1. Temperature management: Ducks are very sensitive to temperature changes, so make sure that their living environment always keeps a suitable temperature. In the first few weeks of ducklings, the most suitable environmental temperature is 30℃, which gradually decreases to about 23℃ as time goes on. If the outdoor temperature is too low, try to keep ducklings indoors.
2. Diet management: The diet of ducklings is very important. In the first few weeks, digestible foods such as cheese and fried eggs can be provided, and small tissues and fibrous foods such as cereals can also be added. After that, you can gradually increase the proportion of feed. Generally speaking, high-quality poultry feed and fish meal can be used as the main food sources for ducklings. In addition, ducklings need clean and fresh drinking water.
3. Time out: Ducks need proper outdoor activities, but they should pay attention to being susceptible to diseases. Therefore, in outdoor activities, we must ensure that they are fully protected and carried out under all-weather supervision.
4. Health status: It is very important to find any health problems of ducklings in time. Common health problems include respiratory tract infection and digestive problems. If ducklings are found to be sick, they should be examined and treated by veterinarians in time.
To sum up, to feed healthy ducklings, it is necessary to ensure that their living environment temperature is appropriate, provide fresh and nutritious food and drinking water, ensure that they have appropriate outdoor activities, and always pay attention to their health. These are the elements that should be paid attention to when maintaining ducklings.
